Fire Harte Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Right then, today I have started a tale of four gamer style project on http://www.astronomican.com I am showing what I have done and will generally accept any criticism and all of that. If you want to view any of the other guys' logs, just check my signature. Any questions you may have or compliments for them and me just post them here, PM me, e-mail me ( fire_harte@msn.com - add me if you like, don't mind discussion about anything!) or by any other extraordinary means. Not telepathy though sorry. :( ------------------------------------------- Right then! First model ever for this log! (squad will be an iron warrior one) http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0568.jpg?t=1230824752 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0569.jpg?t=1230824946 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0570.jpg?t=1230824975 Yes, a beaky Iron Warrior! I know! :D Some of the parts have been cannibalised from the sternguard I made in october last year. I got fed up of them. http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0571.jpg?t=1230825069 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0572.jpg?t=1230825096 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0573.jpg?t=1230825125 So this guy has: Pre-Heresy Drum Fed Bolter. Thanks to Arkaedin and Hephesto from the Astro Mag, I was able to adapt their articles on bolter variants and mesh them together. His sword was kindly donated by an Ultramarines ancient, which was first transferred across to a sternguard, then taken from him. Yes, he may be of Iron but Irony is not beyond him! :P ...continued. Next up: http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0574.jpg?t=1230825437 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0576.jpg?t=1230825784 :P: Bad Iron warrior! :twisted: Not really... http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0575.jpg?t=1230825669 Just fiddling with his bolter. Doesn't look good from that angle, but further away it does I assure you. I was actually trying to have him holding his bolter in both hands as if he were left handed. 8 ruined arms later and I gave up. next: http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0577.jpg?t=1230825843 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0578.jpg?t=1230825870 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0579.jpg?t=1230825890 Chainsword donated by a smurf death watch captain. Although I don't particularly like the way the model has turned out, may change the chainsword. Finally: Aspiring Champion (Big cannibalisation here, but the new pose, green-stuffing and clean parts are fresh as well as the idea.) http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0581.jpg?t=1230825972 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0582.jpg?t=1230826037 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0583.jpg?t=1230826066 http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0583.jpg?t=1230826155 Sorry, I resized the last one twice but you can see it.

Fire Harte Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Excellent! Right then, I recieved a PM off a member from astro asking me to start painting. So I have ;). So no changes now sorry. :( Although the bald headed guy has a loose strap which has been shot off by the way. Forgot to add that bit in. Here is my iron warrior paint scheme: http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/csmIWphp.jpg?t=1230832315 Although the Metal may be brighter and the orange is meant to be brass.

blood_raven_240 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Yep, that's it sorted now. And it looks very good! However, the Horns on the Helmet look a bit to extreme in colour. I assume they're meant to be more of a Bone shade. If that's the case, try this colour code: #EBE7AE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156228-apostles-iron-spikes/#findComment-1826280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Harte Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 I'll make them a bone colour then mate thanks! Just did the first model's horns and I have to say it looks kinda crap. As for changing the colour on the painter. Can't be bothered. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156228-apostles-iron-spikes/#findComment-1826284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Harte Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Started the first half of the squad at 18:23 PM. Finished 22:44 PM I am pretty pleased by that! needs basing, but that will happen all in one go for the squad as well as any touch ups.

Tyrannicide Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Awesome conversions there, Fire Harte. I especially like the simplicity of the second Iron Warrior's pose. I'm looking forward to seeing more paint on the rest of them and pronto. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156228-apostles-iron-spikes/#findComment-1826645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blood_raven_240 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've got to agree, mate, the sword does look kinda funny =/ The painting is definitely reasonable, and effective. However, the left shoulder pads are looking pretty blank. Are you doing the Chapter Symbol on there?

Fire Harte Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Many thanks for the comments guys! :) The sword arm does look a little weird I'll give you that, but I can't be bohtered to change any of it. Not now anyways. I did pose him to make it look like he was stalking and such. Any touch ups and icons will go on once the whole squad is finished. Chevrons are rare because I can't do them and they look crap on curved surfaces in my opinion. I just need some new paint brushes before I go into icons and such. Hope to get them and a battle force (already have a chaos renegade strike force!) to fill the requirements. Also: Picture of the Baldy, didn't post it sorry. http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/Fire_Harte/Tale%20of%208%20Gamers/DSCF0586.jpg?t=1230851149 Flesh work was easy, the bolter strap has been shot off. Although those chevrons need to be re-worked on. I am most pleased with his flesh. EDIT: @ Darth Potato: I love corvus armoured marines, so I had to naturally make a chaos marine kitted out in it. (Another I might add! :)) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156228-apostles-iron-spikes/#findComment-1826990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Sounds very good. You've certainly got a lot of work on your hands.

Fire Harte Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Two units a month! :) Although this month is by far the most busy. Once I am done with these guys I shall move onto Apostles of Minthras for the second unit of the month.

blood_raven_240 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Cool. I recently had agood look at the competition, and the Guardians of the Temple, Castus' Ultramarines Apocalypse Force, are looking very good also. I'll admitt it, I think you'll have a hard time beating Castus. Those Ultramarines are rapidly reinforcing...

Fire Harte Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Castus isn't a part of the competition. just those in here plus two people called Eodred and Nomad who are yet to start. The rules have been moved into there now. (Thanks to a PM from me.) I think the forum has had two "Tale of..." competitions but this one being organised by Silver. I haven't been a member long so I don't really know but the community is nice and this was a good oppurtunity not to be missed. (yes a big post count that I don't care about either!) Also although painting styles and quality vary, nobody really cares, effort registers with me first and foremost. Although I will ferry across the compliment to Castus.

Fire Harte Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well, I have added a bit of oxidisation to the meltagun and I am still working on the last five. Will post pics once I am done with those, not really worth taking another pic of the oxidisation. Although I am working on an icon bearer, the secon melta-gunner and three more chaos marines.
