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 https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155428-soul-reapers-obliterator/#findComment-1815623 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 https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155428-soul-reapers-obliterator/#findComment-1815657 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.
