ozris Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Absolutely FANTASTIC! I love the sculpts and the paintjob. I'd also like to second the question concerning the bases: How did you do those? Might just have to steal the idea with the crystals if you dont mind.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Off topic, but what are Firedrakes? A certain Salamander thing? Or are they a successor chapter? EDIT: Scratch that last one, according to the codex there are no known Salamander successor chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyriel Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Sorry for the absense. Been away working a lot. Out-freakin-standing work! You sir, have conviced me to paint my SM figs as Salamanders. Cool, the more of us there is the better:P Truly beautiful stuff... where do the bases come from? Are they hand made or commercially available casts? . . Absolutely FANTASTIC! I love the sculpts and the paintjob. I'd also like to second the question concerning the bases: How did you do those? Might just have to steal the idea with the crystals if you dont mind.. happy.gif The bases, well I found a guy who made and cast them and I got a bunch from him but they were all rock and lava only. Go ahead and steal away, the crystals are rather cool looking I reckon and I still havent decided wether to use different coloured chrystals or different shoulderpads to separate the squads from one another. I cut them apart and remade the rock and lava flows to a degree and sculpted on mushrooms and all the crystals. I have moulds for the new mushroom and crystal bases at home but so far I havent decided wether to cast up a batch or not. If I ever do I will also have to find the guy again and ask him for permission as parts of his bases are inside my own creations. Nice work as usual Pyriel. I love your sallies and you have inspired me to do a successor chapter. I notice that the shields are now done- are they and the other varient for sale yet? Thanks:) And nope, havent decided what to do with them yet but I will probably sell them of as commissions to a caster as I want to equip my whole army with them as well. But no talk of casting/selling/trading stuff on BnC as I think it goes against the rules since this is not a trading board. thumbsup.gif Those are really amazing. I'm eager to see more. Thinking of doing a pre heresy squad heavily eagle themed and if I get my behind in gear I might also make it into a tutorial or partial tutorial as well.

Brother Captain Andrecus Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I do like the bases immensely... Hopefully we will see more of this awsomeness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapter master 454 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 this time i learned that when i click on a link that has your name and the word firedrakes i put on my jaw catcher to stop it hitting the floor. and the jaw catcher didn't help!!! you are one hell of a painter, those guys a cool. but my one annoyance that breaks the look on the base for me is the mushrooms, not to tell such a great modeler like yourself but mushrooms can't live in volcanic regions as theirs not even water, it just breaks the illussion and they look out of place. other than that they are amasing!

Pyriel Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 But I like my mushrooms :blush: They might be some kind of umm, thermofile alien flora feeding of sulphide gasses etc :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_shrike Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Dude, is your whole army like/gonna be like this? If so I want pics of other stuff. They're awesome! I take my hat off to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 They might be some kind of umm, thermofile alien flora feeding of sulphide gasses etc :o Sounds good to me. Personally I like the mushrooms - it's different. Most bases all have the same exact elements & basically look the same. (I'm one to talk, I only use sand) I think they are subtle enough to were it adds a nice bit of character to the pieces. Besides, it's not like they're massive polka-dotted mushrooms from Super Mario Bros. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Matthias Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Very nice! :rolleyes: If you want to sculpt scales at all, you could try pressing the end of the handle of a tea spoon into GS, thats what I did for my High Elf Prince's Dragonscale shield. I think it worked quite well, and scales would look nice on a storm shield, i think. Maybe a captains shield, to make him stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solid snake drive Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Amazing models. My eyes tear up from the sight of them, or it might be due to the fact that they're so incredibly bright. :) Oh and as a Korean, I'm obliged to say this in regards to the bases... We require more minerals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyriel Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 You dont have any minerals in Korea? :) :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarInHeaven Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 ... and ones more i feel like fluching my models down the toilet, thanks :huh: seriusly, as briliant as alwais any shance on a turtural on those pads and hamers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenCrute Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You dont have any minerals in Korea? I think it's a reference to Starcraft, in which big blue crystals are 'minerals' and one of the two resources. If you're asking why a Korean would reference starcraft, I'm pretty sure they televise SC tournaments over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Really fantastic sculpting, painting and converting really fantastic. I wish my army whould look like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 btw can you add a mini tutorial on the crystals and mushrooms :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyriel Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 any shance on a turtural on those pads and hamers? Well, dunno, I already made them so its kinda a waste of time sculpting them all over. btw can you add a mini tutorial on the crystals and mushrooms tongue.gif Yes but I need to find time to set aside for that first. There are a lot of things stealing time from me like friends, work, eating taking craps, sleeping, goofing of etc. I think it's a reference to Starcraft, in which big blue crystals are 'minerals' and one of the two resources. If you're asking why a Korean would reference starcraft, I'm pretty sure they televise SC tournaments over there. They do? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solid snake drive Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yes they do! Although I don't live in Korea, just humble Modesto of the Good ol US of A. But yea. Winners of such tournaments can get up to $10,000! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
