plaguereaper Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Awhile ago I was getting list advice from this forum and someone asked me to post some pics (particularly of my converted Abbadon) so here we go. The army isn't complete, I need some rhinos, and to finish my Bezerker squad (see my other post of my converted Bezerkers) Abbadon http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6064.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6065.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6066.jpg Heres his terminator BFFs http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6067.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6068.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6069.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6070.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6072.jpg This squad is pretty lighting claw heavy, with some other weapons to mix it up. And I tried to make the squad have multiple gods represented. This is my chosen squad, which is a hammer/suicide squad. (I actually have 2 of these, one with all flamers and one with meltas, although the melta squad is pretty plain, so I didnt take any pics) http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6073.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6074.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6075.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6076.jpg My FW dreadnought, I love this guy, Mr. Choppy. http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6063.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6062.jpg Last but not least, the sorcerer. I really like this conversion. http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6059.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6060.jpg http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6061.jpg I know theres alot I could do in painting, but I like this army because it is easy and fast to paint, I do a black spraypaint basecoat, drybrush of codex grey, they a badab black wash. (I also have a csm squad, but its nothing special and I figured I have enough pictures) Watcha think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blooddragon Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I would recommend a slightly more pronounced highlight IMHO but aside from that very nice mini's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Nice mini`s, ok painted but i think u missed way to much more details. Seems like a very speedy job but thats personal. Some examples - Sword Handle from Abbadon. - No eye`s painted at Terminator helm - Black tusks/black armor - Spike`s Terminators. - Gun/cables 2nd Terminator not painted and so on.

Dragonkin Arenis Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 No peanuts? You led me on! ;) They're really nice conversions, however I don't dig the 'grey mist' on the model. It doesn't make the colours stand out, if you know what I mean. It's a unique style, mind you. Arenis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Fatiswon Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 love the ashy dark soot marines of death look, of course most are going to say, you need to do this, and do that, but i think the one think you could do, is dry brush, or wash your bases, with a much lighter color. i would almost say that like a snowy base or maybe a lave red orange would be GRAND in bring life to your models. Great job all around!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muller Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 They look.......dusty, and there's tons of details missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaguereaper Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks for comments, as for some of the small details, I spent a couple hours yesterday after class and did the eyes, horns, bones, and added some red here and there. I'm gonna also paint the terminator with the sorcerer head with some blue panels, once I get some blue paint. Also, I love the "grey mist" I did that trying for a stone/ charcoal look.

Captain Mick Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Well because its the Hall of Honor and not the Work In Progress forum i thought they were finished thats why the critics, whould love to see the finished results :drool: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scathainn Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Also, a wash of Badab Black over the whole mini will do wonders for quality. Looks good so far, though. I like your Abbadon; it's much more humble than the regular one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muller Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I still feel that the models completely lack shading as well as highlighting, and while the look you might be going for calls for this they do look like half-painted models that have been sitting on a cabinet for 8 months collecting dust. (Now that we've established that this really is a WIP thread I thought more input could be helpful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I quite like that dusty look actually - the greyness of the black is quite refreshing - they kinda look like they sprang out of the ground. If that's the effect you were after then you've succeeded :). They're very characterful and the metallic treatment works very well.
