Inquisitor Xenthor Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well, im back again with another set of WiP models i did up. This one is for the most part, the Chaos Sorcerer that Ive done up to lead the small war band im going to make up. He's about 85-95% done in the building phase, i still need need to put some GS ( though i terrified to do this, as ive never really ever worked with GS before >_> ) on the cape/wings to make it fit better together, and then maybe a few other minor details here and there...im not sure what else i want yet lol. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo032.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo035.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo037.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo038.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo036.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/staff.jpg The second 'extra' part, is a model i did up based off of Saxxon the Dragoon's 'Powerfist' Rock band..more specifically the lead guitarist. I thought the way he did the model was so cool, i just had to make my own (the marine looks alot like his i know). The amp i did, was a complete pain in my ;) , and it never actually set straight...so from the top you can see its sort of shifted. But oh well lol. Hes far from done. Im going to be painting the guitar separate so i can get the chest details, etc on the marine. Eventually the guitar wire will connect to the guitar aswell, so it looks like hes plugged straight into the amp. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo028.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo031.jpg A closer picture of the amp/head im using for him. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo030.jpg And heres a shot of the original design of the guitar, unfortunately i had to take off the thumb part of the rocker symbol because i couldnt fit it properly onto the marine. But i took a pic to show you guys anyways lol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo027.jpg As always C&C is appreciated, any suggestions, etc is highly welcomed.

Chaplain Kharn Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 nice one and btw where did you get those wings? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1976685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligoare Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well, that's one place I never expected to see a Kroot! Nice work so far though, and the wings seem to give him a bit of a 'Lord of Change' vibe - I'd guess that was what you were aiming for.

Inquisitor Xenthor Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 @Chaplain Khârn - The wings are from the Flying Pegasus models in the Bretonnian Fantasy line. I had done an all cav. Bret a few years ago, so i just cannibalized one of them lol @Maligoare - That is indeed the vibe i was aiming for! :P Im still working on the backstory for him though. I figured the Kroot head would be suit the 'bird-like' look i wanted for his face...that and it was the only bit i had that even came close to fitting what i wanted haha.

Gyson_Vore Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Don't worry too much about the thumb, the Hand of Glory has the thum folded over the middle and ring finger.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'm not really liking the head too much. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1976948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejay Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 He looks awesome. I love the wings and the head, he looks to me, like a Sorcerer of Tzeentch Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1977465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-DX Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 my only suggestion is maybe GS the head up a bit and give it more of a beak. it still looks too kroot like, maybe a pointed beak will give it that perfect Tzeentch look Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1977491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Xenthor Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Small update, I did the GS work on the wing joints and in my opinion they didn't turn out half bad...for a first time working with. And as soon as i find a new camera cord ill give a few shots to show you guys. Im without my laptop for awhile, as i had to send it in to get work done on it, so they wont be the best..but hey..somethings better than nothing ;D Thanks Dejay, for the input :no: means alot. And Sir-DX, im not sure if a longer beak would look good on the Kroot head, atleast not with my gs skill anyways haha. Maybe if i seen some others that have done it, to compare it to i might be more willing to change it.

vishtank Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 looks great, i can't wait for the painted version! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1977798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 If you are unsure about the beak, you could try bulking the head out a little to balance out the size. At the moment, it looks like it's just sitting there with no support.

Inquisitor Xenthor Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hmm, this is true. Alright, ill fiddle with some new heads tonight. See what comes out of it. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1978177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 You could just add some cable and wiring (either Green Stuff or guitar string) to the head leading into the armor, that would make it more attached, more chaosy and more bulky. Three things solved at once ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1978191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Xenthor Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yeah that could work...Ill have to give it a shot, see if i have some spare guitar wire sitting around. (im in the process of moving now..so i only got the bare necessities left out lol) Thanks for the input Cather I did some GS beaks on a couple kroot heads...could came out better. But meh. lol. We'll see how well they come out after they dry and i can edit it abit more. Of course ill take pics and upload em ASAP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1978348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Jester Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 i think he needs some feathers or hair on his head he almost looks too......reptile??.....bald?....all in all pretty sweet though. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1979501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Xenthor Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 If only my GS skill was that good haha. Thanks though! Hey, would you guys think wrapping the wings in a bit of jewelers chain would look good? I did a dry run of it, and IMO it didn't look so bad...but i wanna see what you guys think. As for pics, ill get them up Later today, as i get my Laptop back finally. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1980287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I think it would look pretty nifty. Especially since logic does not need to apply to Chaos armies.

Inquisitor Xenthor Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 YAAAAY!! New pictures! Woo! First up is the GS work on the wing joints. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo045.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo044.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo043.jpg Then the couple other heads i did. Crappy GS beaks...Woo! :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo047.jpg A potential head found...Had to surgically cannibalize a model for it...but oh well haha. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo052.jpg Then those chains on the wings...tell me what you guys think. If its a go ahead type deal, they'll look better of course..but yeah. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo053.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/Joephus/PictureorVideo054.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1980824 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir-DX Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 that latest head is awesome, and those GS beaks on the kroot came out pretty good, but i think this newest head is the best one. also i'm digging the chains on the wings.

poisonfrog Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 the chains are so money, they add a good chaos appeal. your gs-fu is wicked strong keep up the good work. oi oi oi frog :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1981117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I like the GS beak on the far left, and on the Far right, though I also like the cannabalized head, so either way would look good. The chained wings are nice, were you going to stiffen them or let them swing?

Inquisitor Xenthor Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thanks guys for your comments on the heads and stuff :jaw: I think im going to go with the metal head i cannibalized, as it seems to fit better, and the GS beaked heads dont give the same look as i was wanting. Im not sure yet what im going to do for the chains on the wings, whether to stiffen or not, as ive never really used jewelery chain on models before. Also, to attach before prime and paint the chains, or leave them off till after painting, then attach...im so lost already :jaw: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1981789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The middle head may be worth considering from a different perspective. Painted correctly it would produce the appearance of a human head being transformed into a bird head. Would be characterful and also help the model stand out from all of the other bird-heroes out there.

Inquisitor Xenthor Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 I will admit, that middle head does look good too. Much better than the original 'kroot' head i had in it. Ill take a picture for you -Q- and post it (hopefully) tomorrow, after im done my move, and get everything settled and set up once again. Thanks for your input aswell! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167692-new-wip-chaos-sorcerer/#findComment-1981939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
