IronKobra Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Since the new Ironclad is such a cool model decided to make a cool character! I much prefer the new Ironclad powerfist to the old style stubby. Only problem is it only comes with it on the right side, so with a little conversion I put together one for the left too and with the appropriate guns have modeled Moriar in a new set of threads. These are still VERY early stages, have since primed and started painting, but this gives the general idea of the model. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIP%20Blood%20Angels/WIPMoriar3.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIP%20Blood%20Angels/WIPMoriar1.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIP%20Blood%20Angels/WIPMoriar2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Very very cool, and very mean, almost bestial looking, which is appropriate!! I especially like that you mept the skull to the lapel, and not the sarcophagus (where it looks silly) Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 More recent pic, he is primed, most of the metal has been started, and the start if the red done with machrite. I intend to keep the whole model quite dark, brooding and imposing. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronKobra Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 2 sesmic hammers... AWSEOMES No, no...it's 2 Powerfists, Furioso as Moriar was intended...Just with the Ironclad powerfist with the bigger 'fingers'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Got a little more dont on this dude lately. Just getting base coats down but he is starting to get some character. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar6.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar10.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar8.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 This is awesome :tu: I may have to do this instead... question: how come you got a second cc weapon on the other arm? I'm assuming conversion - if so, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 This is awesome :D I may have to do this instead... question: how come you got a second cc weapon on the other arm? I'm assuming conversion - if so, how? The answer to the question 'how come' is just because Moriar was the Character dread with 2 powerfists in 3rd ed which spawned our classic Blood Angels Furioso pattern dread. I just prefer the Ironclad version of the Powerfist to the regular stubby version. 'How' was a simple conversion using a spare 'hand' and the chainfist arm from the Ironclad box and simply chop and change the end piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronKobra Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Just for kicks I thought I would show my OLD Moriar, from way back when they first released the 'Furioso' pattern and put him next to my new and improved version: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/MoriarOld2.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar7.jpg I am liking the change so far B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Spent a little more time on this before I get to finishing my Vanguards, nice to break off and paint something different. Still getting lots of base coats down, but paid some attention to front sarcophagus details. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar11.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar12.jpg He is still not stuck together, so the wonky smoke launcher will be straight once it's done and I am still deciding on a pose.

Flarix133 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 He is still not stuck together, so the wonky smoke launcher will be straight once it's done and I am still deciding on a pose. A friend of mine cuts out holes and uses magnets so the arms and torso can move freely, might try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Perfernicus Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 That looks really cool, You should do deeper grey highlights on the black edges. So it can stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 That looks really cool, You should do deeper grey highlights on the black edges. So it can stand out. Highlights are still to come. The paint at this stage is still very much just base coats aside from the front 'face'. Think will be mostly a 50/50 mix of codex grey on black on all the edges...Then straight codex on all the top most edges. The skull on the front has been done up to bleached bone going from Graveyard to desert yellow up to bone. pics up as soon as I get some more good light. Any suggestions on the colour for his search light anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejay Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 The skull looks pretty swesome, I love how you did the BA symbol on the front too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Ok, just a small update now. I have mainly added some washes to his tabards and seals and also worked on the skulls around the model, working from graveyard, to desert yellow to bleached bone and then washed with sepia, and added a layer of shining gold to the sarcoughagus and washed again with sepia. Will highlight both again in the final stages. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar14.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar15.jpg The pics are awful I know, just a phone cam and bad light today!

IronKobra Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 really nice, how do you achieve your gold/bronze colour?? The gold is worked up from: - Black undercoat - 50/50 mix of Scorched brown and Shining Gold - Sepia Wash - Shining gold - Sepia wash. That is what stages have gone on so far. then a highlight of 50/50 mix of shining gold and mythril silver and a watered down sepia wash. I have some vanguards on this forum too who have had highlights so you can see the final effect. I love the effect sepia has, really seems to enrich the deep browns of the gold without making them too drab or dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Some minor advances on the painting, nothing worth mentioning really, however I have just mocked him up using blu-tac to get an idea of how the model will look. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar23.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar24.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar25.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar22.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
