Rhetoricus Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have a quick question about the weathring technique you've employed. Am I right in believing that the warm watet is used to wash off areas of the model that you want to remain clean(ish). Thanks bro and sorry if I've missed this earlier in the thread.

shaw3029 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Wow, Cheers giys! The contemptor torso is actually just made.of brown stuff. I.got.hold.of some moulding putty pushed the body into.it & created a mold thats now on the base ;) It was actually very easy to.do. For the weathering technique the warm water effectivly disokves the hairspray leaving you free to create the weathering effect. Give it a go its easier than you tbink. Cheers!

shaw3029 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Not much progress on the contemptor although he is black and I have started on the base but Ive done some work on the drop pod. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/DroppodwithIcons.jpg Added some icons. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/SabreCrewman2.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/SabreCrewman1.jpg This has been around for a while now but I couldnt remember If I posted a photo of the new commander.

NightHunters Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Still love that conversion! And the heavy weathering, very realistic. That one of the new forge world tank crew set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaw3029 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 It is indeed one of the forgeworld crew. Finished drop pod! http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/DroppodFinished1.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/DroppodFinished3.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/DroppodFinished2.jpg Cheers!

shaw3029 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Cheers mate. Unfortunately I've gone over the limit on my Photobucket account so I've started using my other account. The bandwidth should be back to normal soon and hopefully the new account will solve the problems. Heres a few WIP shots to keep you going. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Imperial%20Fists/LandraiderTrackson.jpg I got the tracks on the landraider today. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Imperial%20Fists/Contemptorwithdroppod.jpg Had the collection out so took a chance to snap a shot of the Contemptor with his new ride. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Imperial%20Fists/NewContemptorWIP.jpg & what you've all been waiting for... Progress on the Contemptor. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackalos Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Where could I purchase those conversion pieces :3 ? It looks like it's made with some parts from the old rhino model. Although it looks like a lot like Forge World's Deimos Pattern Rhino: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/large/rhinomkdeimosbw1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the damned artificer Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think it's the conversion set from chapterhouse studios ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaw3029 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 The Rhino kit is actually from Blood and Skull Industries guys. Check him out on Ebay or Warseer. I got hold of some guns from the Forge World Tauros kit for my Terminators. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/Terminators.jpg Who suddenly got alot better with 6th edition so they may even see some tabletop action. I've also been working on a conversion beamer techmarine. Although Im not sure that I am happy with the conversion beamer placement. I might stick it on some tracks so it can wheel around next to him. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/Techmarine1.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/Techmarine2.jpg My contemptor unfortunately came unstuck on the legs so I took the opportunity to capture a photo of the dread doing some Matrix moves. Why else would he get a 5+ save against shooting attacks?!? http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/Contemptor.jpg I took the opportunity to give him a new more detailed base and shall be darkening him up soon so he is more in line with the other contemptor.

shaw3029 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 I have been on a scenery making bender at the moment. Heres a whole bunch of photos with some Imperial Fists thrown in for good measure. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/40kBuildings1.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/40kBuildings2.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/40kBuildings3.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/40kBuildings4.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/40kBuildings7.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/40kBuildings5.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/40kBuildings6.jpg Hope you like what you see. The airbrush made short work of the painting. :) I want to add some crates for scatter terrain and a few other little bits. In the future when I want to add a sump for Necromunda and a shrine of the Aquilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaw3029 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 My Forgeworld and bits orders have arrived enough bits for 6 missile launchers and 6 heavy bolters. I am arming my tactical squads and a devestator squad and magnetising them both so I can swap the weapons over. I just need some more magnets. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/TacticalSquadMissileLauncher1.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/TacticalSquadMissileLauncher2.jpg This also arrived with the Forge World order http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/HHBadge.jpg ;) Cheers!

shaw3029 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yesterday I sat down with my airbrush and my two contemptors to try and tie them both in together as the older contemptor was alot brighter and cleaner than the new one so I have dirtied them both up. I think the Mortis perhaps looks a little worse while the contemptor looks a little better. So they hopefully balance each other out. I have a few bits left to finish on the pair mostly the metals and details. Heres a few pics for comparison and a few with some tactical marines. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/Contemptorsx2.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/ContemptorsTac.jpg As you can see the Tactical marines are a lot brighter than the Contemptors. Hopefully it all ties in together though as I wanted the infantry a fair amount brighter. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaw3029 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Ok I sat down with the airbrush, a sponge and some weathering powders and have come from this, http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IFWeatheringWIP1.jpg to this, http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IFWeatheringWIP2.jpg I think thats what Im going to go for and it really fits in with the contemptors better. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IFWeatheringWIP3.jpg What do you guys think?

Boramar Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Love it! This is exactly what im trying to achieve with my RG. We should compare notes sometime. I know i could learn a lot from you.
