Tzen Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Okay,5th and final (for now) cultist done. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/c5.jpg Got my Hellbrute and Landraider on the go now! Plus the new Dark Apostle model has been undercoated, but I will likely save that for when I am at uni if I get any free time! I also had a game today and I took a lot of photos so as soon as I get them edited and such I will plop them down here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintspirit Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I like it very much - particularly nice with the conversions, where you used the DA-pieces (at the first pics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Okay Hellbrute added. Just need to wait to get some of that new blood effect from GW to try on it then it should be done! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fhb1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fhb2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fhb3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fhb4.jpg Also did a quick cultist the other night. I wanted to play about with a few different techniques on painting flesh and stuff so though I would give it a go. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/cultist6.jpg Basically it didn't take me very long and wanted to see what the end result looked like. Seems okay, not amazing or anything but okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 I just got a pot of that new blood effect so I took the time to add it to the parts of the dread I wanted to add it to. Some of it hasn't worked as well as I would like (and will be cleaned up when I get time) but other parts have worked really well. On the exposed pipe parts the blood looks like its being forced out. But I especially like the spine. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/hbblood.jpg I'm pretty new to doing things like blood effects, so i think there is probably a much more effective way to do it, but i think its more a style issue than a technical one.

Tankenstein_PhD Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 That's pretty disgusting, which I think you were going for. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuchinawa Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/darkapostlefinished.jpg I gotta say, he never struck me as very loyalist sculpt. This is a great conversion. It's simple yet really changes the tone of model. I really dig it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks Kuchinawa. I may one day revisit this mini and do the whole thing again. It's one of my many regrets that it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. The wings/backpack are okay, but the mace and such didn't. I could have done a lot more with it. :( Not been about much recently due to deadlines for uni and such. Hoping to get some more painting between now and the new year but people keep asking me to do things like go out drinking and stuff. The bastards! Anyway, here's another cultists. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/cult6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 I finished this guy last night: http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/cult8.jpg And I am thinking of putting some blood on his apron. Maybe in a former life he was a butcher or worked in a slaughter house... ! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Mustard Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 clean solide work impressive work overall !!! but i agree that the apron should receive some treatment maybe burn marks or spots or dirt ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Another one! It is pretty much finished apart fromt he base. Just had to take the pic when I had a little bit of light! :D http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/cult9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well, managed to do a fifth one before I go back to my folks place! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/cult10.jpg Here is a group shot of the five I've done since being at uni! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/5cults.jpg And annoyingly I still have ten more of these buggers to do :/ http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/primedc.jpg I'm picking up the Chaos Marines from the Dark Vengeance box when I go back tomorrow. I love cultists, but these models are a little "meh". I think they are well sculpted given they the fact they are clip together models, but having to paint ten of them is annoying. :( So my plan is to do one CSM for every two cultists. Sort of like a reward for getting them done! :D Saving the Chaos Lord for last. Will also be bringing a few old style plague bearers back to paint!

Tzen Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Squuuueeeeeeee! http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/drake.gif I haven't had anything hobby related bought for me for xmas since well... damn. I can't remember. May have been necromunda? Anyway, I'm very much a "kid at christmas" right now. Albeit a kid with a hang over! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 How did you paint your word bearers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 It actually varies from squad to squad a little bit. But right now it goes like this: Black undercoat > 70/ 30 Chaos black/Mephiston red > 50/50 Chaos black/Mephiston red > 30/70 Chaos black/Mephiston red > Final highlight mephiston red > Edge highlight of Blazing orange. You do it in gradients, so darker leading up to bright. That's how I did the Dread. The silver is Leadbelcher metal, washed in nuln oil, then highlighted back with Leadbelcher, then a final edge highlight of chaimail silver (or the new equivalent). The annoying thing is that I seem to go from a darker shade of red to a lighter depending on how i feel. One day I will re paint the whole lot in one style! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannosaurus Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Been following this thread since the start and am a massive fan of your stuff. The red is spot on and really like the Dark Vengeance additions [even the Hellbrute - I threw mine out because I hated the mini so much!] Looking forward to seeing the Heldrake painted up [even though, again, I really don't like the sculpt - you can tell I'm not a fan of the new Chaos releases!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The raptors are amazing, and I think the stuff in the DV box is really well done for clip together models! However the Heldrake is pretty uninspired, and the pose of the Maulerfiend and the other one is boring as hell. The Heldrake is something of a "must buy" thing. The codex isn't really very good at all. And when I do get back to gaming regularly in the summer I don't want to get beaten every time I play. I am not a WAAC player by any stretch of the imagination, but I believe that turning up to a game without any sort of competitive list is doing your opponent a disservice as much as it is yourself. They want to come and play against a good opponent as much as you do. It's kinda like meeting people half way! :D In regards to the sculpt of the Heldrake, I don't love it or hate it. It's just "okay I guess" to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah I think what disappointed me the most is that we went from a codex with only a few viable builds to a codex with [arguably less] viable builds [especially when running mono-god lists]. I used to run dual lash prince with 2x2 oblits and would get the eyerolls, now when I go with 2 drakes I get the eyerolls. Not my fault the codex is limiting. This, combined with the mediocre new models [mutilators lol] meant I've pretty much shelved my Emperor's Children now in favour of Sisters of Battle [although my favourite models are the very Slaaneshy Repentia :D] Thanks for sharing these :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Finally finished this monster! I can’t say it the best miniature I have ever painted. The raised metal areas are a real pain, and the “feet” of the miniature are ridiculous. They really make the whole model deserve its nickname of “Helturkey”. But I do like the overall shape and the the theme of the model. Pilot merged with Daemon merged with vehicle. But I think it could have been executed much better in areas. Plus the model is a real paint to glue together. Anyway, here are some pics! I will be finishing the base later tonight. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf4.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf5.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf6.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf7.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf8.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf9.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdf10.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
