ImperialTemplari Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hello all I had started Death Guard and World eaters armies before I found the B&C, when I explored the site I discovered truescale and have fallen in love with this concept, I then started my truescale emperors light chapter, my dilema is that I now want to truescale the DG and WE, though I have already put some effort into these armies, WE=10 marines painted and 30 made but not painted, DG= 8 marines finished. My question is should I scrap what I have done and rework these to truescale or stick to original scale and finish what I have started? Here are some photos of what I will be scrapping. Even though I have already put in a lot of work it will give me a chance to change the skin colour as I don't like it on the DG, it works better on my WE.

Benny_Jacobs Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 There awesome, How did you get the rust effect in the bolters? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/134201-very-pic-heavy-update/#findComment-1544899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal van Trapp Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Scraping these models would be an afront to the gods of chaos! keep it up with the way you got them, if you want to do some truescaling make your lord true scale that way you don't have to change the size of your entire army (as in my head lords would be much bigger) and maybe even his bodyguard if you give him one (as they'd have to be big to guard his massive body lol) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/134201-very-pic-heavy-update/#findComment-1544905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invictus_BA Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 ID ask myself 1 question if i was deciding to truescale somemarines or not. How many projects and unpainted models do i have sitting around?? Personally i have so much stuff i dont think i could get it all painted in my life time. If this is all youve got going and dont have any future projects planned etc then it couldnt hurt to truescale some marines. I dont know if i would scrap all of the progress on these models. You should either leave them as is and try them on the next batch or possibly sell them to get some revenue for the truescaling process. Ive been reading the threads for truescaling and the process seems quite costly, parts, green stuff, time. These are all factors that you should weigh together before making that choice. my 1 cent Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/134201-very-pic-heavy-update/#findComment-1545126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighthawks Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ditto the rust comments - very nice. quick tutorial? it would be a shame to bust up so many nicely painted minis, even if they would eventually be repainted to the same or better standard, best just to keep going and paint even more! generally, I think true-scale shouldbe reserved for small armies, or special characters, elite squads, grey knights, etc... especially with the DG, the bloatyness and whatnot would be lost to some degree if TSed.

Hell-G Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Cool. I love your Death Guards. Spesialy I like the way you paint the rust, how did you paint it?

Brother Plasticard Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 You know what....try doing some TS work on some other guys (as in the guys assembled and not painted, or not even assembled), and if they turn out sweet I say do it! Its always better to test it out before actually grabbing the beast by the horns, eh? So do some tests or samples, or w/e you want to call them and post em! Good paintjob on the DG! Cheers!

g-relk Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 with the vent thingies on the top of the termies bodys, try and make the plastic soft (using a lighter maybe) and push out the end using a pencil or something so that they look like the vents on typhus, it'd make them look 54% more awesome. very nice work tho, keep it up.

daemonclaw Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 beautiful work on those termies :wub: what is the sculpting material you use and what are its properties as opposed to greenstuff ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/134201-very-pic-heavy-update/#findComment-1562560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialTemplari Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hey Neigorath he he I thought I'd get that reaction, I want my DG to be repulsive so I thought of the sickest thing I could and sculpted him. Hey daemonclaw its tamiya quick dry 2 part epoxy putty, non water soluble, very sticky for first 30 min, drys fairly hard in 1 hour, good for detail sculpting, not good for small/shallow gap filling, I have never used GS so can't compare, I also use milliput for larger areas/shapes.

ShinyRhino Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 These terminators look top-shelf. Keep up the good work. I like how you've preserved many of the standard details, but limited the Nurglizing to specific areas. They're still recognizable as Marines, which I like a lot. You avoided the "lump of candle wax" look some Nurglites go for. Please, don't destroy your old DG. Those guys are too well done to be torn down.

Brother Plasticard Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I really like these! They look awesome, and I can't really comment any more. Except for this: follow the tubes from the mouth to the end...... <_< Cheers!
