Jereminus Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Those are bloody brilliant. I like the use of plasticard on the Shouder pads. Can't wait to seee them painted but I can't help but notice that on the first one on his left knee, the putty looks a little bulgy. Apart from that though brilliant work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137407-new-pics/#findComment-1584428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 the knee is fine, those are awesome! They will be a blast to paint! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137407-new-pics/#findComment-1584430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 these are great however i dont really like the heads. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137407-new-pics/#findComment-1584433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Kenaz Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The poses are great, they really capture a berzerker charge ready to deal some death!!! They will add a cool sense of motion and dynaimic charge feeling to yuor army. The heads are cool, but they are missing something...maybe a few dreadlocks, more gore or stuff dripping from them... Add your sculpting skills to their faces and see what happens! IMO just plain plastic skulls form the WFB skeletons plastic warriors sprue would look great as helmets, and just beef them up with some sculpting and cables... By the way, what type of modeling putty are you uisng? I've never seen it before.

Rizara Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 hey, i love the concept, my only critigue is the well, extra soft armor you have on the knees and leggs. They seem to bulky and i think they should be lessened. Terminators are degigned to be bulky and althought the idea of them being in running charging poses, these poses are more typical of the unarmored, or standard power armor, not the terminator armor. The idea is they sacrifice alot of movement for the sheer bulkyness and extra protection from the armor. With the extra soft armor, they look less likely to be as survivalable as a sniper woudl just simply aim for the exposes softer armor. On the note tho, i do like the plasticard work and the use of the beastmen heads is brilliant. THe fact that they are the same shape as standard terminator helms, just warped to be more besitial in nature. It looks perfect, especially if you end up painting them like armor and not like flesh.

Dehumanizer Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Awesome work man! I think with some paint on them the knees will look less bulky. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137407-new-pics/#findComment-1584894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote By the way, what type of modeling putty are you using? I've never seen it before Hi Capt. Kenaz it is Tamiya 2 part putty Quote these are great however i don't really like the heads. Hi Sons of Horus I tend to agree and will work on that part. Maybe sculpt a re breather over the mouth/nose. Keep your eyes open for updates on this thread.

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'd stick with the red highlights, but maybe you should darken the shadows? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137407-new-pics/#findComment-1607313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImperialTemplari Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hey guys, I have been very busy with my Lamenting Angels and the DIY swap project but now back to work on some WE, have been experimenting with the colours I want and this is getting there, what do you think of the head, its not glued in so I can change it, all comments welcome.

Frost Knight Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 WOW! although i think a rebreather would look better for the heads and a dark wash on the dead marines helmet.

legio daemonis Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 awsome! I think the beastmen head fits in perfectly. and i agree with frost knight, the ultra helm needs a wash to give it some shading.

Honda Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I really like the deeper red that you have on them now. In general, I really don't like bright reds on Khorne guys as it looks too cartoonish to me. The posing is very dynamic and certainly implies rapid movement on something that is quite large. I'm not a real fan of the spiky bits, but that's just me. Initially, I thought that the heads looked too much like everyone else's who's done that, but your skin tone makes them look rather skullish and I really like that effect. So good job on that and I will be borrowing that idea when I get back to my Khornate forces. Your figures are just packed with good ideas!

Master Chaplain Astador Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 It's looking good so far, but as already said the marine helmet needs some more colour in it. Also, the head itself could use a bit more shading, it may just be the pic but it looks like it could be a bit darker in some areas. Good work though! Keep it up!

ImperialTemplari Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 thanks guys, the marine head has only had its base coat and will have more work done on it, I will also do more highlights on the armour and head. 1 question is the darker brass better than gold or should I highlight up to brighter gold?

ImperialTemplari Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 thanks Wokkers, a question for you all, I'm starting to think about the base now and I want him running over a dead marine, what chapter should it be?

wokkers Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 depends what you feel like painting. having him running over a member of the Emperors children. that fits in with the fluff. alternately, just abput any loyalist chapter will do. i would vote for the ultramarines - maybe third company. the red of the third company will tie in with the zerker.....or would it clash? hmmmm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137407-new-pics/#findComment-1651446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinzo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 there is nothing more frightening than a running terminator. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137407-new-pics/#findComment-1651635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luther - the fallen Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 @ Shinzo: Two running terminators? ;) @IT: Looks great so far, the plasticard work is inspiring (should really get on with my own projects), and the putty work looks quite nice with some paint on. Love the red, and the WE logo on the shoulders is beautiful. I am also a great fan of the beastmen heads. Luther..
