Lestat Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Ussel: Yeah, I use clay shapers. They work wonders for the smoothness. Lestat: They will be joining my Heresy Era Alpha Legion. Gonna have both Primarchs in the army list come spring =D Madwolf. Double axe guy is COOL! =D Love it. - Natanael The Alpha Legion have got to be some of my favourite bad guys! Nice true-scaling.

Natanael Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 That is if they really are bad guys :P After I read Legion I got really hooked on AL. Before they were just some sneaky chaos guys to me, but with Legion they got loads more interesting. It is kinda hard to show it on the table, but I'll try =D Hopefully the paintjob will look something like the cover of Legion. And thank you for the positive words. I learn as I go, so it is all very much appriciated (sp?). - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyen Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 So I've hit a snag. Putting the Vulkan conversion on hold until I can pick up some parts and hobby supplies I started working on some other marines that were sitting around, waiting to get put together. My problem is foremost what to paint them up as however. On one hand I want to do them as an established, though little to never seen chapter. On the other hand, If I am going to do that I might as well do a DIY chapter. Shooting for the latter. When I have figure it out I'll post up pictures of the test minis. Meanwhile can anyone recommend sizes for plasticard? Never bought it or used it before and not sure what exactly would the best sizes for true scaling stuff and for use on normal sized minis.

Natanael Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 For plasticard I bought a bag with lots of different sheets, different thickness. Dunno what works for what, but that gives you the options to test. Got my from GaleForce9. - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother 'Ussell Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thought I'd share a WIP of my crusade/company banner. It's really just a mock up right now, whenever I finalize what I want I'll likely start from scratch. There will still likely be some nicely flowing banner/s added, and some Templar crosses of course, some other bobbles. The working name for them is the Damienos Crusade, based upon some fluff I'm writing about St Damienos and some Templar activities in the segmentum pacificus. Any and all ideas/ critiques welcome.

The Normish Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hello everyone, I post after a completely unexcused absence! I haven't been doing too much hobby-wise, but I intend to post nice updates when I start painting my latest project (I have to finish assembling them first), and I'll be asking for feedback and suggestions. Also, as for the Brotherhood, what happened to that seal? I had designed it and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ussel thats nice. Very cool pillars. Normish, same, not much modeling here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well I haven't really gotten any work done lately. But I did doodle this in my office today so I thought I'd share. I'm thinking I'm going to put it on a terminator pad or a tank. I haven't decided. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/fab8e2d2.jpg I'll hopefully get some painting done this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Damn, that on a Termie pad? Super small. That looks awesome. Love the scrolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yeah, looks kinda hard to put on a pad, but if you can do it, it will look awesome =D I've been moving, so havent done much modelling/painting. Just got my stuff up and running again now tough, so I might be able to post some pics soon as well. - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well here is a quick group shot of what I have fully painted minus one terminator. Pic is horrible better one tonight. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/1ff644a7.jpg And a terminator chaplain I an working on ATM. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/66b8a83d.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/7d153e8f.jpg The sculpting is still rough needs filing and cleaning up then the robes can get more details and his chest can be finished. Just need more gs. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The termie chaplain looks ace so far. Is it supposed to be vents on the top of his armour? I think they look a bit too much nurgle to fit in. Very nice on a chaos lord, but not on a loyalist chaplain. My 2 cents. - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I think they might be candles? Anyway awesome work, sir, though I really dislike Chaplains without helms.. grumble.. your choice I guess.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ah, candles. I did not think of that. In that case, just fill them up with a bit more GS and they will look very nice. - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother 'Ussell Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Interesting scetch Astador, marines looking good too. I'll snap a couple pictures of the measly amount of painting I've gotten done. I've been helping my brother with his monolith as well so that's eaten up a bit of my small amount of available time too. I've been plundering ebay for some bits and have some stuff on order from GW so soon I'll have a freshly stocked bits box. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 So, this is as far as I've been able to go with the next guys for my AL. Hopefully I'll have an entire squad ready for paint by the middle of next week. Maybe more then that, if I manage to get hold of some more bits. Anyway - this is my progress so far: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kmqJqkSVH6A/TVW_IWxouSI/AAAAAAAAANU/EYSnuJnXC3E/s320/IMG_1061.JPG http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L8TbxaOD66M/TVW_I01Cm1I/AAAAAAAAANY/IDzS-ivsB4w/s320/IMG_1062.JPG In the background you can see my piles of arms, bolters, swords and other equipment. They are yet kind of small, but hopefully they'll grow soon. - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother 'Ussell Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Natanael, looking good so far. Here's a few shots of what I've managed to get done lately. Couple of views of the WIP I posted awhile back, a bit of progress, just noticed a mold line on his foot that needs getting rid of. Here's a shot of the squad plus the marshal and champion. I'm planning on painting at least 20 with matching squad markings plus 10 neophytes. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Looking really good so far, Ussel. What is the guy in the back with a different scheme supposed to be? Sword brethren? - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword brethren? - Natanael Thanks Yes, the red crosses and trim denote the sword brethren. I forgot he was in there too, that's actually the Black Templar special character model Draco. (IIRC I just got up) :D Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Ah, alright. Seems cool =D Here is some mock-ups or whatever it is called of some of the guys that i make for my AL. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Znk8wpzYKfE/TVfBUtRoTGI/AAAAAAAAAOc/HRV_qa9kraY/s320/IMG_1065.JPG http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PjT48Lt6jm4/TVfBTh_b9II/AAAAAAAAAOY/syJMPtZSfig/s320/IMG_1064.JPG They are held with blue-tac (actually, it is white) right now, since I didnt have time to bring the glue and GS out. But soon, maybe tonight or tomorrow. Starcraft 2 is taking more and more time :P - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'll double post then. I've been thinking of doing some moulds for shoulder pads and some swords, just to have them handy whenever I need. Press moulds then. How do I do it? I just coat the object in water/vaseline and then press into a GS blob on both sides, one at a time, and then, when they are kinda dry, I just peel out the object and let it all dry? Seems simple enough, but I dont wannt to it all wrong ;) Oh, and I went to a friend today, and got to loot his TDA bitz box. That means I got a whole lot of new bits, so expect my first squad to be all glued and ready for primer tomorrow. - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Sounds great! Looking forward to some more true-scale goodness :lol: I gotta say I'm not entirely convinced on the pointing lightning claw guy, just doesn't seem like a realistic pose, plus it seems HUGE but that's probably just the camera angle. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natanael Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Alright, thanks. I'll try it tomorrow then. Now I need to sleep however. 6 out of 10 ready for primer so far. - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Me again :D Here are a pic of the rest of the guys.
