Megalodon Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I like the Obliterator concepts put forth by the design staff, but think the execution of the minis is really poor. Both stock models look like they are crouching behind a bush taking a potty break. I rate them an A- on concept and a D- on execution. I've seen some nice Oblits made from termies but it just didn't do it for me. I really like the masive frame of them in the original concept. After seeing The Dark Apostle's Oblit that he stood upright ages ago, I knew I wanted to do the same thing. Then I wandered away from 40K for a while and my whole Chaos army sat collecting dust. As fortune would have it when I make my return to 40K just as TDA finished a tutorial for making upright Oblits. This was exactly the fuel I needed. So here is the completed Obliterator using TDA's inspiring tutorial! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/csm012.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/csm013.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/csm014.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/csm015.jpg He turned out much better than I thought he would when I started this conversion.

TheDarkApostle Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Megalodon, I've said it at least once already but I just can't say it enough; words fail me when I try to explain the feeling of seeing and realizing that my tutorial actually has been inspiring and helpful for someone. ^_^ Thank you for using the tutorial and splendid job on the Obliterator. Keep the army going man, looking at it is always a pleasure. ;) TDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Very nice, seeing that the results are this good I just might be giving TDAs tutorial a go someday myself. The painting is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate the feedback! @Sigismund: I completely wiffed on the link thank you for posting it! @ TDA; No matey, thank you, for without your inspiration this mini may have not reached realization. Get ready for more; as I am cutting up a second Oblit right now! ;) @ the thousandth whisper; The base color for the flesh is a long out of production Ral Partha flesh tone called East Indian. This color is lightened with GW rotting flesh to give a sickly slightly greenish hue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
