teddybear9152 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 These are an awsome army, I'm slowly building my arm of CF up and I'm currently working on my 2nd tac, Terms, Captain and Dread. Quick question. Did you make the GrnStuff mould your self for the tac sholder pads or press it from a pre-moulded tac pad?

arutha Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 I bought the pre-molded pads. However I have made a mold to make them once i run out. It is pretty simple to do once you get the hang of it. I also bought one of the Icon packs from FW that I have made molds for all of those peices as well. Basically i just use an old base fill it with GS and make the impressions in that, then cast from it after it has set.

teddybear9152 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks for the info. Did you get the FW icon pack for the troops or use the tank one?

arutha Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 These guys are 4 of my next tactical squad. I still need to finish the arms and backpacks. Tried NMM for the first time on the chest eagles. I am pleased with how they look even if its not quite gold. C&C encouraged! http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/cftac21.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/cftac22.jpg Thanks for looking!!

MRCHAOS Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 :lol: Your chest eagles look sexy :wub: What an awsome army you have there, plus your two rooms could fit my whole house in..........

Brother Xeones Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Lol. The middle guy looks like, ":lol:? What happened to my bolter?!" :wub: Nice work. The highlights are a bit harsh for my taste, but they are even and consistent so I'll give you credit for technique. The NMM also looks pretty good --especially for a first-time attempt. You might try to go for a more defined light-source, but it's still nice. Well done! Too bad they will be obscured by the bolters.

arutha Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 @xeones- Yes it is a shame the gun will hide it, but chose it on purpose, so if I effed it up it would be hidden lol.

arutha Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 So I am working on the second half of tactical squad 2. I am looking for any ideas on how I can differentiate the squads. I thought about adding some numbering or maybe a kneepad insignia or somthing. I dont want all my guys to just look the same. Any ideas would be greatly apprecitated.

Skyzerker Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Codex markings usually have the squad number imposed over the squad designation badge, so the second tactical squad for example would have a number "2" over their tactical "arrow" marking. Company markings are usually identified by shoulder pad trim color. Then again, I'm not sure how rigid the CRF are with their adherance to the Codex, so feel free to use whatever method you come up with.

arutha Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hey guys. After another long Hiatus, I think im going to get back to working on these guys Once again. Thanks mostly to the golden bolter. I think I will use the competition as a way to get more of this army completed. Single Model- Pedro? Squad- Sternguard or Terminators? Vehicle- Dreadnaught?

Brother Loring Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Love those NMM chest aquilas, superb. Hope those guys finally got their crimson fists though! Looking forward to seeing some more of your work. Edit: Sternguard or Dread ... please!

arutha Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Single Model May become Abadon, as I have to do a model for a mini exchange anyways.

Brevik Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The Sternguard look really nice in Crimson Fist colours. :) Great work so far though - ditto the comment about the Aquilas, they look superb. :) Me = big fan.
