The ServoSkulls are used as wounds marker.

Imperator Mos Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Looks great, are you doing a whole SS army (now that GW has metal shoulder pads for bit order)?

Naysmith Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 @ Imperator Mos I started the SilverSkulls in November 2008 now its a painted force of about 1750 points. At the moment its only infantry so the army will perhaps reach about 2500 points in the end. (But i hear Nids scraping at the door :confused: ) The GW Shoulderpads where tempting until i did see them. I dont like the look to much Iron Warriors to me. So i keep my own graphics. @ Vissah Thx cya Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167414-silver-skulls-librarian-counts-as-tigurius-and-more/#findComment-1975393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikunosuke Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Great execution from concept to conversion/sculptwork to painted miniature. Definitely resembles the artwork which inspired it.

Marius Perdo Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Nice conversion B) I also like how you have him blue and metal, I'll be borrowing that colour scheme for mine :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167414-silver-skulls-librarian-counts-as-tigurius-and-more/#findComment-1976343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Your painting skills have done your excellent modeling skills justice. Fantastic from start to finish.

Tyrannicide Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I love his battle-hardened face and the force weapon. You did a great job on the freehand chapter badge too, it looks awesome. Do you plan on posting up pictures of the rest of your completed Silver Skulls?

Naysmith Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 @ all thx for the compliments. @ Darth Potato At the moment i am working on finishing the modells i store at home ;) (Tac Squad, Rhino, DropPod) Then i am finished and every additional mini will be just for fun. I think i will be finished with that in about a month to six weeks. When finished i will post an army pic (or perhaps some more ^_^ ). cya Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167414-silver-skulls-librarian-counts-as-tigurius-and-more/#findComment-1978696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naysmith Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Back! A long time ago i said i would post some pictures of my Silver Skulls Army. A Tyranid Force and some comissions later i thought i should do it now or never. Following are some pics i made and there will come some pics of each unit later. I hope you enjoy. C+C is welcome of course.

SnorriSnorrison Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 They look really good. I like the way you toned the silver down, all-metal armies often struggle with that. the captain's base sticks really out, well done! What's really awesome is the Librarian. One question, where did you get the hood from? It doesn't look like a shoulderpad nor have I seen it on GW's website. :) Snorri Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167414-silver-skulls-librarian-counts-as-tigurius-and-more/#findComment-2925051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannosaurus Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The termies are incredible and love all the freehand - I think my favorite one is the Captain with hammer - the glowing girders make him look like he just smashed his way through them - fantastic skulls ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167414-silver-skulls-librarian-counts-as-tigurius-and-more/#findComment-2925632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The army looks very effective all together. One thing that would make it really pop would be to do some glowing lenses, just for that extra bit of colour.

Kierdale Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Really, really nice. Your painting of faces is particularly outstanding. Nice to see the Silver Skulls getting some quality love.

SickSix Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Great looking army! Very nice job. This army is worth a bump. I am always looking for fellow Silver Skulls armies. Great inspiration and motivation for me to keep working on my own Skulls.
