Thantoes Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Mr T, i HATE you! :( Not only did you paint him really quick, but its ten times what i could do..... The green eyed monster rears its head!, I hope youll bring all these in June! Fantastic job, love it GC08 Due to time constraints it took a mon - fri to get him all converted, greenstuffed (its there, just hidden which is good cause my greenstuff-fu is weak). Started painting him last night, worked on him for about 3 hours and then another 3 or 4 hours this morning. He was suprisingly easy to paint. My only complaint is the angle of the sword. I wanted it resting against his shoulder at more of an angle but couldnt quite manage it. Still, he turned out all right in the end and I am happy with him. I am sure he will be toasting some heretic/xeno scum soon :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Beautiful my friend, simply beautiful! :) Damn shame i couldn't get over to play today- you could've given him a try out. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Newest unit. My daka Predator. It has magnetized side sponsoons so that I can turn it into a rhino when the time comes. As the Pred In rhino configuration Below you can see the gap around the side door due to the frame buckling from being too close to my lamp. I had to source a replacement door as well. The origional was a total lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Boo, double post. Oh well This is Captain Fabian of the 3rd company and will be my "Counts as Khan" He is wearing full MK3 armour. To be honest, I am not that happy with how he came out. I think that the green cape may have been a mistake. Oh well, I am not about to strip him and re-paint him so he will just have to do.

greatcrusade08 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Your painting skills are amazing.. seriously :D The green cape may have been a bad choice, i think red would have been better!, still it looks fantastic all the same GC08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Your highlighting technique is very unique. Or atleast, the effect it has is. Very well done. Just a question: why so many 'counts as' models? I'm not saying your wrong for doing it, and in someways I couldn't agree with you more, but I am just curious.

Just a question: why so many 'counts as' models? I'm not saying your wrong for doing it, and in someways I couldn't agree with you more, but I am just curious. Because I can... No seriously, I have the Chapter Masters Box set and rather than just do them up as packaged, I have decided to do them as the other chapters special characters. That way they are a little bit unique and characterful as well as it also gives me a chance to do some converting. And really, who needs 4 or 5 different generic captains? This way at least I can use their special abilities and play with different loadouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hajime Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 A Ultramarine that looks like a Roman. Nice to see someone finally playing off the theme. Good game. Looks greek to me, To the Op great model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks greek to me, To the Op great model. Thats just being picky... Besides, it has been noted in WD that Ultramarines are not romans, they are 'classical'. And thats me being picky...

feather450 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 don't freat about the green cape it actually suits him and it is a brilliant conversion all your models are awsome keep up the good work can't wait to see more. one more thing APPLY TO THE EAVY METAL TEAM as you seem to beat them all at painting:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikunosuke Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 This is a a beautifully-painted army with many well-executed & unique conversions. Kudos, Thantoes. And really, who needs 4 or 5 different generic captains? This way at least I can use their special abilities and play with different loadouts. That's a clever idea.

HJL Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 wow man your lamp must be REALLY hot to warp the plastic so easily! but good save, the swapable rhino/predator looks amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 60w bulb in a metal lamp does get fairly warm. It was also under there for a while. As said earlier I think I was just too used to having my metal minis drying under there and didnt realise it would hit the plastic that hard.

Thantoes Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Have just finished doing up the first half of a new Tac squad. Henceforth to be known as Squad 3 it will be my plasma squad. Plasma Cannon, Plasma Gun and Combi-Plasma. I have tried to make them a little more dynamic than the usual "firing from the hip" poses that most tacticals have. Apologies about the pics. The white balance is all off and I couldnt be bothered to re-do them.

greatcrusade08 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 As always T, i love your work, im glad you found a place for the master of the arsenals left arm :confused: GC08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yea, that fist is my favourite component out of the whole chapter masters box. I never could understand why they armed that model with both a power weapon and a fist as even under 4th ed it was very very expensive. Was a bit of a bugger to get it to A: fit a plastic arm and B: position the arm so it all fit. Greenstuff helped a lot on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah, why did they do a powerfist/power sword combo? Variation? Good use of it though, liking the tacticals. Its a funny pose. I think it was on this forum there was a plasma gunner with oven gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah, why did they do a powerfist/power sword combo? Variation? I think its because the model is the master of the arsenal and its GW's way of showing he would have access to the best equipment (he also had Mk3 PA)..

Thantoes Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Its been awhile since I last posted on here. First up is the remainder of the previously posted Tactical squad. As can be seen its very plasma orientated with a plasma cannon, plasma gun and combi-plasma. I have run this squad twice and its done....ok. First game the sergeant got into close combat with a dread and managed to rip both its arms off. The second time around he managed to melt himself with his combi-plasma on his first turn of shooting. Newest 5 members of the squad. The whole squad. I tried to get a whole "red crystal skull" thing going on the sergeants banner. I was partially successful. Next up is my Honour Guard Chapter Banner Bearer. I am going to put up 2 sets of images. The first is how he looked when I first painted him and the second is how he looks after being stripped and redone. And the base will get done when I have finished the whole Honour Guard Squad. Then: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2345/2334213745_da8f54962f_b.jpg Now: I am not entirely happy with the script on the scroll under the picture, methinks it shall be redone soon. *edit* Just done a quick bit of painting. The scroll looks a lot better now, taken the Ultra out and replaced it with Macragge in better lettering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
