Vassakov Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm sure this will be covered tactically in the Review topic, so I'll focus on the model here. Or lack thereof. I'm converting one up, any C&C, particularly on the base: 1. Blank. 2. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/Disc2.jpg 3. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/Disc1.jpg And possible Bluescribe itself - given the first a staff, second one will have a book. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/Bluescribe.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor1313 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I like #3 myself. I'd add maybe a second angular ruin sticking up diagonally, and then go for a nearly-flat one on the base to camoflauge and maybe even reinforce the support. Or, put the angled one up in a way that the base can rest against it and/or brace off it. I think that'd give you a dynamic look. The REAL fun will be slapping the Scribes onto the disc....I do not envy you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I don't like either of the bases with COD pieces on them. #2 flattens out and freezes the mini as a whole, while #3 will be blocking a clean view of the scribe itself. I feel they're too x/y (dimensional) for a tzeentch model...try hacking a piece and putting it on a low angle. One of those light poles would be perfect, actually. Maybe like 35-40 degrees up from the base, angled up and toward the back. That way it looks like it's speeding over the ruined cityscape in search of more shards, rather than traipsing through buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Going to agree on the angle thing, makes it look more Tzeentchy (is that a word?). What model is that you're using for the scribe? And which one is it, Xirat'p or P'tarix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for the replies, greatly appriciated all. Well, no positive feedback for the wall, so I'll scrap that. Wasn't particularly convinced myself, to be frank. The idea is an urban themed army, matching my Wolves and (soon to be) Renegade Guard... I just like a coherent basing style. For bigger beasties, I'm going for more obvious, CoD style bits, so a butress or a wall seemed ideal. But having read the comments, it does look a little... clean. So, a couple of minutes and the bitz box produced: http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/Disc21.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/Disc22.jpg @ Cap'n Mal - it's a normal pink Horror, with the staff from this dude. Don't really know how fluffy this is, but the other will have a book, and they'll be bits of parchment on the disc itself. @ Seahawk - thanks for the feedback - I've had a play. @ Raptor1313 - The disc has a little indent in the top, that should do for this first. The second will wait until I'm alone, and will almost certainly involve the sort of cursing to make a sailor blush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor1313 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I like the changes. If anything, I'd suggest heating the plastic and warping it juuuust a little. Maybe boil some water, submerge with tongs, bend gently, and then submerge in cool water. Give it a look like reality itself warping around the Bluescribes' passage.

Vassakov Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Right, update time. I've had a bit on recently but I've managed to get a bit of work on these two done: http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/Bluescribes1.jpg As you can see, I've taken Raptors advice on warping the struts and it's worked really well. Closeup of the Book, taken from a Chaos Lord in TDA and a repositioned hand. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/Book.jpg There is just about enough room for both, it's a bit of a squeeze though. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/Bluescribes2.jpg Next up, add some parchments amd CLEAN THE GODAMN MOLDLINES!!!! C&C as always welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarsmithAjai Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Man am I loving this one. The warped pillars are spot on. Looking forward to next batch of images. Maybe scatter a few books over the disc? I always saw these 2 as hopping around on this massed pile of parchment, tossing pages about wildly and shrieking spells at anything damn foolish enough to come close. They are keeping a record of every single spell in existence, after all. Oh, and quills. Gotta have quills. Pens simply won't do. No magic in them. -Ajai Iron Within. Iron Without.

Vassakov Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Exam work and a week away have slowed this one down. Sorry guys! It's now been undercoated, just waiting for a chance to crack on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 By the Warp, let this thread live once more! And so here begins my Call of Chaos Plog: 2 Princes, The Bluescribes, Skulltaker and something else... Heres the latest on the Bluescribes, so far it's mostly blocking out the basecoat. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0229.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0230.jpg Later... the Skulltaker himself!

Vassakov Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks for all the feedback guys - Still cracking on with these. Here's the latest WIP: http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0250.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0251.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0253.jpg Quite pleased with the way the rust came out on this one. Wondering whether to add a Blue Gloss wash to simulate Warpcraft on the columns or just leave it. And finally, a view of some more Daemonic reinforcements. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0254.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vassakov Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 I am still working... honest. Here's the latest. Scribes are nearly done, and I like the flaming faces effect I've managed. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0297.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0299.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0298.jpg And having gone from no special characters at all in 8K pts of Wolves, here's my second in 1K pts of Daemons - The Skulltaker, Executioner of Khorne. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0294.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0295.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0296.jpg Enjoy!

Vassakov Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Right, exam leave has begun so hopefully I'll be able to find a few mintues every day to chip away at some Daemons. Finally got the wings for the first Prince sorted, here he is before I spray him. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0307.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaakl Daakli Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 As an unabashed fan of the fluff for the Blue Scribes (in both games), I have to say that your work there does justice to my fave GW special characters. Due kudos ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Thanks for the positive feedback guys, I'm getting towards the end of this challenge now. Sort of... Speaking of which, here's the latest on the Tzeentch Prince. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0310.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0311.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/SP_A0312.jpg Things still to do: Base, finish the sword, touch up the back and face, lots of fiddly little details. But he's getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 The paintjob looks quite messy on him, and I'm not trying to be mean. Looks like you kind of took a paintbrush, put yellow on it, and smeared it across him. I'd reconsider this. Try going back over him and either leaving him blue and doing the armour in a gold. You'd get a similar scheme to Thousand Sons as well (they're blue and gold, not blue and yellow). Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
