Starks333 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Well I havent done much since the army in terms of power armour, so here's the latest. I will be scrapping the icon and staff and replacing with a custom one as this one is too large in the end.... Ill be doing it along the same lines as the one on the chaos lord from dawn of war.... He will also have a long jacket... http://www.thefollyofmyways.com/starks333/Singles/IMG_1007.JPG http://www.thefollyofmyways.com/starks333/Singles/IMG_1008.JPG http://www.thefollyofmyways.com/starks333/Singles/IMG_1009.JPG This is the weapon: http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/-1536972046.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188004-dark-apostle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Harbinger Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I always wanted to try and make an accursed crozius like that, thanks for doing it first and showing it was too big just from bits. Maybe a sculpt? I like him, though I think he should get a completely bare head, I think the re breather would keep him from orating effectively :P. I like him though, nice and simple. Though once you put your brush to it, simple becomes some kind of amazing.

The Nephilim Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I think you need to trim down that rocking a little bit. It's a little excessive. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188004-dark-apostle/#findComment-2224669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
averykess Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I like him, though I think he should get a completely bare head, I think the re breather would keep him from orating effectively :D. Perhaps his rebreather has a built-in megaphone. :) Nice work on the model.

Pig Of Sparta Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I will be watching your progress with this mini in earnest, I can't wait to see how you paint him up. If you're previous work is anything to go by, he will be amazing and flawless....

Starks333 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 A bit more work, Ive begun to add the cloak and re-work the weapon and so on, heres a bit of an update of my first attempt, it gets heavy work after it dries....hopefully it works out! http://www.thefollyofmyways.com/starks333/Singles/IMG_1018.JPG http://www.thefollyofmyways.com/starks333/Singles/IMG_1021.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188004-dark-apostle/#findComment-2224939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The greenstuff is looking great. I think you need a different head though. That one is just a bit underwhelming for a dark apostle imo.

Saint of Steel Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Looking good so far mate, although I agree with the comment that that head is a bit uninspired for a Dark Apostle, maybe that'll change with the paintjob! I love the pose you're going for with the model, if you pull it off well it'll look amazing. Not sure if you'll have seen it or not, but have you seen this? It's very similar to the Accursed Crozius you're trying to make, it might serve as an inspiration or something! Good luck brother, I shall continue to watch this space with interest. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188004-dark-apostle/#findComment-2225171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks333 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 i think i may do three rings for the mace, see how it looks i think the head will work, i may modify it however, i will see as things progress how it shapes up I just got to toronto, working on stuff tommorow with DV8, gaming sunday, then working with different friends(Vtraxx and Malleus->slayer sword winner this past year!) on monday and tuesday, should be fun, and yield some more interesting results!

It's very similar to the Accursed Crozius you're trying to make, it might serve as an inspiration or something! I think that's exactly what he was doing with his crozius, but the spines are just far too large, especially for a power armored dude. It looks gigantic with the terminator lord.

Starks333 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Well ive done a bunch, ive almost finished the robe, just some cleaning up to do and minor touch ups ive begun the new crozius, as well as cleaned up the head a bit, its coming together slowly http://www.thefollyofmyways.com/starks333/Singles/IMG_1022.JPG http://www.thefollyofmyways.com/starks333/Singles/IMG_1023.JPG http://www.thefollyofmyways.com/starks333/Singles/IMG_1024.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188004-dark-apostle/#findComment-2227008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbogast1 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 It's looking really good so far. I like the work you've done on the robe and crozius. I do agree that you should use a different head. This one just doesn't feel right.

Starks333 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 the head should fit in once paint hits it.."should" ;) (i have no spare heads anyways) so ive changed up the weapon a bit, going for a bit more original....instead i have an inner ring which spins around inside, and inside that will be an orb...there will be teeth or something on the inner ring to cause pain i had the butt end blade done but i broke the tip while finishing it so i have to fix that and add a bit to the joint where it attaches....i still need to do a bit of work behind the arms to make the robes go into the arms better....however im just waiting on the orb, some small touch ups and hes ready to go...lots of things i would change, but thats the problem with working with GW stock figures! http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/IMG_1066.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/IMG_1067.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188004-dark-apostle/#findComment-2241364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks333 Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 well Ive decided now that he is done, that I wont be painting him up for the golden bolter, I am instead going to spend the time working on sculpting, and other things...anyways he will be listed on ebay and a painting commissions is available if someone is interested...i need to pay for my new puppy after all ;) http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/IMG_1073.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/IMG_1074.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/IMG_1076.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/IMG_1077.jpg Alex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188004-dark-apostle/#findComment-2246489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Loring Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Very nice work. I really like the mace, and perhaps more-so the GS'd cape. Very nice! Shame I don't collect foul chaos scum! Now if he was a BT chappie, he may have had a few bids go his way! I look forward to seeing more of your work! It's a great inspiration for myself and I'm sure many others!
