sword brethren Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 2nd may update. thanks loken, i apolagise for making you buy more stuff ;) thanks for ideas guys but i was way ahead of you, i meant to post this update before i left but it didnt load so im doing it after a night out. though the marines seems an interesting prospect... so ill hand over to me 6 hours ago well ive been sat in silence with my friend for the past two hours... his girl friend broke up with him and in an attempt to lighten the mood i said "oh well, plenty more spawn in the warp" he did not find this at all funny so while he sulked with his nids i almost finished the painting on my ares... although almost finished i have overlooked the vindicator parts and chaosy bits ill be adding but this is all i can do for now, still need help with the search light though. and C&C would be great ;) SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Ok, NOW I'm happy! :P You got a very nice dirty/worn look to the stripe work, very nice indeed. Best of luck to your friend, a situation like that is always painful. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Blank Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 You've done a great job making the large areas of metal look realistic and used. I also really like the dark hazard striping, it looks very menacing. Are you thinking of doing any mud or dirt for the treads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Great work on the Chevrons, SB, it's difficult to get them even and straight, but you've pulled that off very well :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! thanks alot alex, even more stripe have been done :) Great work on the Chevrons, SB, it's difficult to get them even and straight, but you've pulled that off very well ;) thanks :) Are you thinking of doing any mud or dirt for the treads? hmm i think i shall at one point but probably when its all done so the mud looks like its on the top and not part of the model. ok last update until i get my vindicator parts. i have gone a bit nuts with the hazard stripes, im hoping this breaks up the silver even more without overdoing it. sorry about the pics, i was rushing as i have low camera battery. this will be all until sometime later this week but im happy to update and change stuff if people have advise or mistakes are noticed. C&C please :lol: SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Very nice stuff mate. Those maximini heads work really well and you've got some very nice subtle conversions going on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 thanks alot guys :) i am the chosen champion of the great god of chaos postage this day... in the post came, 5 termys (4 champions and counts abaddon will be made) my vindicator parts more paints and a badab balck wash and some plastic glue that means i ignored everything else as soon as it came and got to work. i finished the building of my ares and will paint it up in the next few days. the dozer blade isnt stuck on yet and despite what it looks like in the picture it is wider than the land raider. with the spard vindi parts im gonna make a re-enforced rhino for my count as plague marines who have re enforced armour to look tough. its my birthday soon so im hoping to get a good haul ( i know im getting a chaos lord and a chaos land raider already :)) let me know what you think :D SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlâdvar The Destroyer Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Your Land Raider is looking awesome, very nice paint job! Maybe ya could add a daemonic face to the Demolisher cannon barrel? Also add some spikes to the Dozer Blade... Love ur daemon prince conversion, any chance to see some bigger pix of it? Also I agree with Doghouse, those maximini heads look pretty good on IWs... I've been thinkin about gettin some for my IW chosen! Happy Birthday for when it comes around :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sword brethren Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Woah! :) :) :jaw: I hope when I finally get round to finishing off my Daemon Prince, he will look as wicked as yours! he he thanks alot :) good luck with your prince, be sure to let me know if i havent seen it when its done. so this will be the last Ares update. AS ITS FINSIHED!! :D :D before i go on i want to say it was a pleasure to convert and paint and with the right help its relitivly easy. anybody wishing to give the ares a go will have a great time. even the painting wasnt a bore (which it can be with larger models). so this is the beast... if people have any questions, advise or have spotted something i missed then please leave a comment. next up for the call of chaos will be my count as abbadon, ill post when i get cracking on him :) C&CN please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flexing Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Sword brethren, all i can say is that im a long time lurker and i have seen you evolve in both painting and converting. all i can say is wow. keep up the good work champ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Ah darn, you too loken? So my ares will now be outnumbered two to one? Emperor protects I guess... SB: Really nice job brother. The painting is great and the covnersion is smooth and unison. Excellent work :P Hope it brings you as much joy as mine has brought me. And I agree, anyone that is thinking about converting one, DO IT! Its a fun piece to convert, and fairly easy since the vindicator pieces fit very well together with the LR ones.
