Typewriter Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thanks! I've finished building this upstanding fellow, an aspiring champion with power weapon(s): http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0690.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0694.jpg Shown with a model citizen for scale. (Puns! Puns everywhere! :P) http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0704.jpg A bit more of a top-down view to show off the paired swords some more.

Terminatorinhell Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 that is a freaking sweet champ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlmb_123 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Agreed, he is a nasty piece of work. Are you going to file down the 'bobbles' (couldn't think of a more aggressive word) on his greaves to make them round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks guys! jlmb_123: The studs on his greaves will remain cylindrical, mostly because I've got almost exactly the same kind of studs on two of the chosen and I think that they turned out nice. Also, I don't think I can make them round as most of them are too thin to make it look good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Nice work on these conversions mate. First self made raptors ever! And they're awesome! (Boy, your aspiring champion is tall :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thanks mate! Yup, that champ is quite tall. Almost as tall as my half-botched attempt at a Doghouse pattern Actual scale marine (the next one will be better :)). I've finished another squad of CSM: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0709.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0711.jpg Nothing really special here, they're only nine as I will borrow a regular bolter dude from one of the other squads when gaming. They'll appear at 1500 points where the other squads will have a couple of champs replacing some regular guys. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0716.jpg A closer look at the more interesting ones including the scratch-built icon.

smallvictory Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 You are keeping yourself busy! The greaves look cool, adds bulk to such a tall marine, great idea.Nice use of spare bits on that Icon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yes I am, and as even further proof here is a couple of chaosy objective markers: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0719.jpg They'll look a lot better once painted.

Capt. Lysander Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Nice objective markers! Very creative addition of destroyed wargear and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 love the objective markers and great idea with the mark of chaos, an idea for all those who feel banners and standards would get in the way during battle (me :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decadent Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Great work on the models so far, and great idea for the personal icon. Is there any chance we could get a closer look at the sculpted-bug-thing on the right-hand objective marker, it looks awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments! sword brethren: Yea, I think that large bannerpoles and such would get in the way during combat and it would be very Alpha Legion-y to make a practical solution that doesn't scream "Hey, over here! Shoot me, I'm Chaos!". Decadent: If you mean the bug thing with its back turned towards the camera then it's one of these and they're from the Wood Elves Glade Riders box. Otherwise more pics will be provided when they're painted since I primed them yesterday. Painting is underway for the three champs, I might have them ready tomorrow but I'm not making any promises :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 The three champs are done: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0722.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0724.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0725.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallvictory Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Very nice! The effects on the powersword look 3D, did you GS a design on them or is it just a great paint job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks mate! The effects are just painted on there, about four shades of purple with white on top. If it's a great paintjob or not is up to the observer :nuke: Next up is a squad of regular marines, not very exciting but they need to be done before I can start with the raptors.

sword brethren Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 awesome, that champ looks fantastic :nuke: what swords did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks mate! :) I might've mentioned it earlier in the thread but I used SW chainsword arms with the blades replaced by paired blades from the Dark Elf Corsairs box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 The champion does indeed look fantastic! His blades are 'Twirling Reapers of Doom' ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Heh, yea, that's kinda what I had in mind when I made him :wub: Thanks by the way. Anyway, I've finished another squad of regular CSM: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0729.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0730.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0733.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0735.jpg The whole squad. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0745.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0749.jpg A closer look at a couple of the slightly different models. It's actually the second time I've ever tried source lighting so be gentle :P Next up is the Raptor squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattison Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 The lighting is total cool, no worries! :wub: You're producing some really unique stuff, so keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks! :D I like to make things that are slightly different, which the upcoming project is a shining example of. In fact, I think I'll start slapping some paint on them tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The new marines look just as good, if not better. The plasma coil is excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks mate! I'm well into the next project and I was wondering what you guys thought of it, especially the wings. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0751.jpg So I'm thinking about the wings, I like them but they might be a wee bit bright... The question is: Should I drybrush lightly with a purple? A friend just suggested a turquoise drybrush instead to tie it in with the rest of the models, any thoughts on that?

Typewriter Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Well, I couldn't wait so I washed the wings blue. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0756.jpg They'll be finished soon, so you can be expecting new pics within a few days.

Typewriter Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 A few days has now passed and they are done: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0758.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0762.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0763.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0768.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
