RogueTrooper Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well i've been hovering around the boards lately wondering what i should do for my next force, and heres one of the test miniatures i'm working on. http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt353/Wullie_Mac/WillPicsLotD1.jpg http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt353/Wullie_Mac/WillPicsLotD3.jpg I'm basically just trying out the freehand and modelling style. Will update this regularly, C&C welcome. Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167677-dark-legionaire/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathar the great Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The flames look great. Would you mind making some step-by-step pictures when you paint the next few?

Dark Sensei Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The painting job and the pose are JUST GREAT !!! IMHO, I think that the powa sword, the banner and back pack with little headies divert from the face. Attention must stay focused on the screaming head. Silvery studs would have a more "punchy" visual effect on black and warm tones too, even a dulled silver. But its a very very (did I say very ?) elegant job you did. Keep on going !!!

Fausto2071 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 excellent use of the fantasy range heads, the bones on the armor are very well-painted Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167677-dark-legionaire/#findComment-1976585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Damned Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Great legion trooper. Is the head from the new skele box set? I've only been using the old ones since I thought the new ones looked a little odd. After seeing this, I may have to reconsider. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167677-dark-legionaire/#findComment-1977922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Do tell from where you got that awesome screaming skull! I just got an idea of a footslogging chaplain charging madly just from the look of it.

Killian Doyle Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 That's one of the skulls in the new Skeleton box for WH Fantasy, which, by the way, are much better than the old ones, both in anatomy and quality of the sculpt. I think the two helmeted heads on the backpack are from the new grave guard box, but could be the champion of the skelly box, not sure about that.

RogueTrooper Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Its all Grave Guard, the screaming skull is a conversion the lower jaw is taken from another head within the box set. I'm a vampire counts fan aswell as Marines so creating a LotD force seems to mesh to two ideas. Thanks, i'm working away on more flames etc will get a pic to show soon.

Kikunosuke Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Two thumbs up. I can see Night Lords running away from him. In terror. Love the combination of bits & the freehand.

Rogue Trooper Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Absolutely amazing! I'm no foot worshipper, but I actually thought the foot bones were modelled and was studying the model to see if I recognised where they're from; which proves that you're doing a great job and that I should in fact wear my glasses. ...But my real compulsion for replying is the fact I saw my own name, haha! Brilliant stuff, gotta love the AD, may be a bit confusing with two RT's though!

RogueTrooper Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 ok troops, a small update - i've got a feeling this guy is going to end up being a character in my army. http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt353/Wullie_Mac/WillPicsLotD4.jpg http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt353/Wullie_Mac/WillPicsLotD5.jpg @ RT - yeah its kinda weird, and Friday Rawks!

Brother Iencub Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 The head made it for me. Looks incredibly (?) wellmade, makes me want to do a Squad of LotD myself...which i think i will, just have to buy skellies, which shouldn't be a big problem Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167677-dark-legionaire/#findComment-1980428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
