Hubernator Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 He looks awesome :angry: Can't wait to see the finished product now. Ace job :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Hungry Monkey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Looks good, gotta love the new Ironclad kits to make a really nice combat dread. This is something that might interest you, in the Feb WD there is a little teaser of the new BA codex that comming out (yes, a real one) and there is mention of a Librarian Dreadnought character!!! Now that should be fun to convert, glee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that should be fun to convert, glee! Thanks man Haha, yeah I got news of the iminent BA release and I see some mention of the Librarian dread. But I'll leave the converting to you dude, you certainly have a more experienced hand at it B) Typical though, I started this in summer last year and now I expect they will release something similar making the work thus far fun but ultimately not necessary! But I will have the satisfacting of a job well done in the end ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The advancing looks great! A true ironclad: wading through the battle, deflecting all of the enemies' shots, pulverizing them in turn :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Now I have decided on the pose I just need to work on the details. This isn't a massive update, been too busy gigging for much painting but I have a little shot of how my gems and lenses are coming. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar28.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Very, very clean painting! I really like all the details: particularly the skull, and the detail of the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 My girlfriend was over this weekend so while I didnt get much painting done I took advantage of her digital camera and took some better pics of this project. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar29.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar30.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar31.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 After getting some good painting time in Moriar is now looking like this... http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar32.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar34.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar39.jpg I have NEVER tried freehand before, so the banner looks a little ropey for now, but I think I can sort it before the finish.

IronKobra Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 I have been slowly tackling the daunting task of my first real freehand attempts. I am going for the simple tasteful but effective approach. With a little neatening up I think I can get a good result. Here is what I got so far: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar41.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar43.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar42.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Little more on my custom Moriar! I thought his arms were a little plain, so added some of the new DC wong pieces to the shoulder area and continued with a little more painting. Cleaned up the freehand on his tabbard between the legs. More to come soon. PICS! Please excuse the quality...still just using my phone cam. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar45.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar44.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar48.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar47.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar46.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ok, this doesn't appear to be much of an update but there is a small progression and some better pics. What I have done since last updates was I have covered all the black areas in a 1:1 mix of chaos black and regal blue... So if you look closely, you will see an extremely slight blue tint to the armour. This was taken from the recent Legion of the Damned master class in white dward...I think it will look ace on this if i get it right. Also worked on the banner, mainly the skull, bringing the highlights to bleached bone and also the red crosses on the armour have a very subtle orange/red highlight. If it is painted on the armour it won't have such a sharp highlight relalistically. Anyway, pictures: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar44-1.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar45-1.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar46-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Hiltraud Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I always figured the Ironclad would be a good option for the Death Co./Furiouso Dreadnought, tell me, do both fists come in the box set?? And I bet you have a heaps of spare bits for your bits box too?! If so, I'm on it! Moriar was such a great character and I think you've done him justice with this model. :lol: Love it man, great job!

Sadly not. You'll have to get another claw and convert the chainblade arm to hold the claw. IronKobra knows how :P To OP: model is still looking good as ever, the banner is nicely detailed so far :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Finally the highlighting has begun on this long going project! Normally one model wouldn't take so long, but around so many other commitments it has been a bit of a long haul. He is still not finished... Need to finish highlighting him really, and tone down any parts I was a little over zealous on...and finish the banner. Here are the pics: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar49.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar52.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar51.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar50.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar48-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone 66 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Looks great. Moriar was my favourite BA character, they really should have included him in the new codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Looks great. Moriar was my favourite BA character, they really should have included him in the new codex. He was the birth of DC dreads so he was one of my faves too. Really I started this build before the release of the new codex was even mentioned and was never really intended for play, just to give a great character a model he deserved :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Ok guys, FINALLy have an update on this...I got sick of only painting when the sun was feeling generous so I bought a daylight style lamp and focused myself on really getting some of this nailed today...And that I did! From the last updates I have worked on some of the highlights...Really that is all I have left to do. I worked up the skulls on the more definate edges and also the wing motifs up to pure white. I also re pained the scrool on his sarcoughagus ready for the script work. This was done with a stone base, washes of mud and baal, then works up with various mixes of stone and bone, up to pure white. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar62.jpg I also worked on the banner. Including the skull, again up to the defining edges in white, the highest folds were highlighted from black to very dark grey, and the red parts were glazed in the deeper folds with a dark red mix of scab, mechrite and a dab on black. The higher folds were glazed with mixes of mechrite and blood reds, with touched of khaki added. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar57.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar56.jpg And...hmm, oh yeah the purity seals, wax parts were about scab red before today, highlighted up to blood, the blazing orange, then a mix of orange and white. And the final mix I used on the lowest bits of any red gems on the model... http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar60.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar59.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar58.jpg Phew...More done today than I expected. Tomorrow I hope to get into the final highlights of all of the gold and silver areas and also the 'fingers' and guns on his arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronKobra Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 OK took a couple of pics when the sun was coming through my living room window at 8am the other day to give a better imagine of how he looks now to the last ones I posted. Just for kicks! I will fix his gems at the weekend and do the extreme highlights http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar64.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar65.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar66.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar67.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar68.jpg And here is one of the ideas I had for his banner. My girlfriend said this is the one she liked the most...What do you guys think? http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar70.jpg And just for a laugh here is the state of my project tray: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPTable.jpg Must...Finish...Before...5th of Feb!

bjørn eirik Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think the baner idea is pretty sweet, though I don't have the old codex for reference atm. and that is a pretty awesome model you got there, mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers man :wink: Unfortunately the old codex doesn't have any official banner for the Moriar (nor any official model for that matter) so I am having to kind of make it up as I go. The original Furioso dread came with a banner, but not a DC version, just the classic Furioso BA Dread banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronKobra Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 I really planned on painting some of this guy today but really I'm very tired. Late nights gigging...Collateral damage. Once I have woken up I will do some a bit later but I thought I'd take advantage of the sun being out and get a new photo thats a bit more true to life: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPMoriar71.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
