Pig Of Sparta Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks guys, although the torso still has some work to be done to it. I painted the head today on my lunch hour so so far he's taken about 2 and a half hours to paint. The sculpting of the shoulders and stuff took around 6 hours I think. I'll be working on him some more tonight.... cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well my 48hr trial of XBox Live is over. While Reach still beckons to me I feel the need to hold a paint brush again so I'll be around a little bit more now. I had an idea the other day after a conversation with my brother, some input I gave Lestat a wee while ago on his jetbike and a couple of other things as well all coalesced into this: http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8953.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8954.jpg http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8952.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8951.jpg Basically I figure that the Lascannon is a precision weapon so it would make sense to be fired as one. Now I know that PA'd marines can lug them around like they weigh nothing, but PA can't make you shoot straight, so I figured it was about time we saw Lascannon being used as it is desribed.... He's perched on some blu-tac as I haven't made a base for him yet, but hopefully you'll agree that it's none too shabby for an afternoon's work (although I cheated slightly in that the torso and legs had already been made) James Thats looking like a pretty simple yet effective conversion James. Now if only I was going to be using Devastators in my BA's then I would borrow that idea. As for the jetbike - It's not been forgotten about, I'm just trying to get about 200 points of Death Company converted and painted. Thank the Emperor for Army Painter black basecoat! Alright, here is the first draft of what I hope will be the final design: I incorporated the Aquila design which everyone loved so much, with a shield (thus unifying both Warhammers), and then inscribing the shield with the Brotherhood motto and the IBoH symbols I liked from one of my previous designs. Then I put the scrolls at the top, and some purity seals (which are common in both Universes, at the bottom. Overall, I think it creates a nice balance. If you like it, I'll start work on a cleaner version. This is got to be the best one so far Normish. The Iron Halo on top is a nice touch - sort of gives the feeling that we are all veterans of the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Cheers Lestat. Glad to hear the jetbike hasn't been abandoned it is off to a great start. The Lascannon marine just seemed to make sense and I thought it looked cool. Plus I've never actually seen a kneeling devastator with anything but a missile launcher before, I guess due to the limitations of the components in the kit, so it was also a kind of 'can I do it' idea as well :) James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhornateKiller Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hey folks, Well i thought i would give u an update on the angels sanguine guy, Still lots to do yet, Wings need doing Washes on everything Touching up One question on the gems do you guys put a glaze on last ? Just not convinced mine look right yet. C&C please. http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp298/KhorneKiller/Image0405.jpg http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp298/KhorneKiller/Image0411.jpg http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp298/KhorneKiller/Image0406.jpg http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp298/KhorneKiller/Image0409.jpg Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lestat Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Cheers Lestat. Glad to hear the jetbike hasn't been abandoned it is off to a great start.

The Lascannon was a good idea, but it just didn't seem to fit in with the fluff. Besides, the power plant needed to fire the lascannon more than once would mean the 'bike would be the size of a razorback! I am going to be mounting twin-linked bolters on top of the prow as well - just for that extra killy power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 A reaper autocannon sounds pretty sweet... No enemies of the Emperor are gonna get far with that chasing them . A few update photos this evening, (I apologise that the images aren't resized properly, but photobucket doesn't like my laptop) First up is the mkIII armoured Blood Angel; http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8976.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8977.jpg hopefully you can make out the dirt and grime that's now on his armour. Just need to do his insignia and he's all done. Second is the Daemon Prince bust I posted up this morning; http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8971.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8968.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8970.jpg His skin is pretty much done I think, so now all I need to do is figure out what colour to paint his loincloth and then get on with it. I've already settled on how I'm gonna do the rest of the details. @ KK, I love how you get that horizontal split so perfect . He's looking good mate. Yeah, if you're needing to glaze, I think you're safest doing it last. I'm not a painting expert though so I could be wrong, but it's what I'd do. cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I love the blue on those coils. And the yellow on his knee pad. And the weathering on the metal is subtle and tasty as well. And the blue white hue on the daemon is awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Alright guys, I have a pretty big update. And two pictures added to my blog on IBH! :) First we'll start with my current painting model. I'm working on the old Abaddon, the Despoiler model. :D Red's and blacks done. Haven't decided on RMM or NMM. Your call! http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/c0b1ff86.jpg Better pic to follow shortly when more colours are on him. Next up is my conversion of Dante who is now only needing his backpack and wings! :) http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/19f8d17c.jpg Check the sweet axe! http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/c62ea8e7.jpg Then my two Dreadnoughts are finally finished! I got tired of waiting to find the arms, so I built gun arms to give me a bit more guns. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/5bccc16b.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/f52ab11b.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/2878b42a.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/65e2b72d.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/095569c5.jpg Two other pics are on my blog at IBH check them out!

Shortsonfire79 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yup, I'm just hanging around, waiting for people to update :) Lookin reaaalllyyy sharp Astador. Good choice in just painting :) I don't understand why they're partly red and black in some areas though. Awesome base though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Base is only temporary! :D It's the same one I sculpted the Necromancer on and painted Lokhir on. I primed him white, and enjoy painting colours over white, so area's that were going to be black are the only parts painted with black, well a black-purple mix. And the red area's are painted blue up to yellow. I wanted a different kind of scheme for him than your standard all black and gold or all red. The brown is a basecoat for either nmm or rmm gold. :) If that's what you meant! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 You've really done that skin well PoS! And I really like the MkIII Blood Angel :) Astador: I'm looking forward to seeing your Dante finished! :D Nice looking Dreads too :) Ludovic EDIT: My WIP/complete models thread here.

Master Chaplain Astador Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Cheers mate! :) If I don't rush out of town tomorrow for a job I will have him finished, otherwise it'll be this weekend. Good thing is if I leave tomorrow I can paint my painting fanatic entry on Friday night and Saturday morning before the afternoon deadline!

KhornateKiller Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 @James your stuff is looking great, I love the BA guy !! @CMA I absolutly love your painting style they rock dude !!! My suggestion for abbaddon would be NMM :P Wanna see a master do it rather than my humble attempts so far :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Alright! <_< NMM it is! Unfortunately that means you will all have to wait till this weekend for more unless you want more pics of me basecoating the NMM! But I'll do some Blood Angels today to break it up I guess! :D I need to do Dante's pack and maybe I'll try to do 5 or 4 Vanguard before I go to dinner tonight!

The Normish Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Right, I'm starting to draw the final seal, if you guys have any last minute suggestions as I do it, please contribute them!

Hopefully I can get some of mine up, if it's worth it. I'm thinking, once you finalize it. Someone (else, or you) should make a standard, with little scrolly-work with all the member's names on it :huh: That'd be cool ;) and a lot of work :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may add that later, because our membership is still growing. Perhaps some easily edited side-banner or something. EDIT: I'll upload it in a minute to this post. Re-EDIT: Here we go. Feel free to edit in in Photoshop to add to the crispness or to change colors or to add effects or whatever, as long as my signature is still there, I don't care what you do (okay, it should still look like the original).

Hyaenidae Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Pig of Sparta, how did you do the white skin on your Daemon Prince? I've been trying to do the same shade for my unhelmed Night Lords, and I haven't been able to nail it. More accurately, they look like circus freaks. Thanks for the help, brother.

Master Chaplain Astador Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Alright guys, didn't get any painting done today, but I did some assembly and priming! I need 5 more 40mm bases and 4 more 25mm bases to have finished my other terminator squad and vanguard. Anyway enjoy! http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/cbb10d82.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Anthony Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 @Normish I see you've posted the finished logo. Do you mind if I try to tighten it up? I would like to get it inked as well and then I can mess with it in Photoshop/Illustrator. Let me know. Brother Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
