NightHunters Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks brother, more tomorrow I hope! As always spotted a number of bits I missed in the photos rather than when I'm working on it, so will correct those and crack on with the tank commander!

NightHunters Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Ok, some more work done on the old Sabre Bar armour basically done: Lenses dito: and top shot giving a better view of the weathering to the armour and engine deck. Also had to re-greenstuff the commanders hatch as wasn't happy with it. Cheers all, more soon FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/10/#findComment-3024177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh0sen Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 The bars look great, fit in really well with your scheme. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/10/#findComment-3024330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Wow! Very interesting...not to mention well done. That must've been hell to make!

NightHunters Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sh0sen: Thank you kindly Brother! Kierdale: And many thanks also to you brother, glad you like it and not all that hard to make! Lots of plastic rod (there's about 1m of it on the Sabre) the key is the support brackets, and as soon as you've got one that's right, us it as a stencil and hey presto, job's a good 'un! Worked on the commander a little more this evening: Pretty happy with the progress, but avoiding starting the head, too much to go wrong! Cheers all! C&C always welcome!

NightHunters Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Took a break from the vehicles and got some more work done on my marines, mainly fitting grenades, pouches and scabbards: back to the heavy armour over the weekend, cheers all!

NightHunters Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Alrighty, finished off the Sabre Commander: And worked on the helmet design for the below: Think he will get a platicard collar as well but will see what it looks like. Also been thinking that I really need to get my IA for these guys on here, maybe start that tomorrow. Cheers all!

Kierdale Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 The tank commander is great. I love his relaxed pose. And the new marines all have excellent poses, I particularly like the one easing his way through the broken window frame!

NightHunters Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Kierdale: Thank you brother, as the whole diorama is set behind the front line during a resupply I am going for a more relaxed mood for most of the marines, the Scout Seargent has just come back and seen something big and scary that the Sabre will need to take care of with extreme prejudice which is why he is a little excited. And that Marine is my favourite as well, took a while to get him looking right but real happy with the result. Togusa-san: Wow, that is high praise indeed brother you are far too kind! How are the Executioners coming on? And on a seperate totally unrelated note, anybody else love the new Space Marine Stormeagle? Now that is an assault gunship! STORMEAGLE Cheers all!

Montuhotep Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Scout: "It's damn big, it's damn scary, it munched 5 of my guys and I want it dead! Now!"

NightHunters Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) eetdestroyer: Thanks brother, have a look at my thread over in the hall of honour and you will see just that! Paladin7221: My thoughts exactly! Alright, last sabre update before completion I assure you! Last bits and bobs to do and then, "The dusting", ie to make the tank look like it has been fighting hard across some dusty steppes! This is the step I am most concerned about as it can effectively wreck the tank. But hey ho, "he who dares Rodney, he who dares" Cheers all!

Montuhotep Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That's looking excellent already, even before the dust - the rust on the bars is a lovely touch.

NightHunters Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Paladin7221: Thanks brother, been working on getting that right for some time and certainly pleased with the result, but still holding off the dusting due to fear issues! In the meantime tore apart my Landraider crew and re-worked their poses a little as they were aggressively average. Also in the process of adding plenty o gubbins to the exterior. More soon.

Akylas Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Very cool. Is it odd that of all that excellent work I'm most impressed at the green stuffed tubing in some of the shoulder joints?

NightHunters Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Akylas: Actually Brother, I'll take that, a really small thing on most minis and yet it can have a massive impact on the final look! Many thanks! Right, in other news, disassembled the Tusker for painting which has now commenced: and have further worked on this bad boy, and it has to be said, I think I preferred him with out all the additions... But not convinced either way, c&c most welcome!

Montuhotep Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Not too fond of the stuff on his back and shoulders to be honest - the Termie suit is already big enough thanks to the fancy-schmancy collar, so it's a little overkill for my taste. We already know he's the boss.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/10/#findComment-3046142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafen_2 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I also think the add-ons are too much. Leaving off the other stuff makes it look cleaner plus the shield is a nice touch though to make it somewhat different. For some reason I see the Xzibit meme here: "Yo dawg we heard you liked birds! So we put a raven on your eagle wings on your aquila!"

NightHunters Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Paladin7221: Thanks for your input brother and yup, agreed, will remove it! Rafen_2: For some reason I see the Xzibit meme here: "Yo dawg we heard you liked birds! So we put a raven on your eagle wings on your aquila!" Love this! Quite right, I laughed, and then cried as realised I had used the More is More addage with the Super Glue.... but as mentioned above, will remove all the birdage! Terminatorinhell: Thanks Brother, may get some more done this week real life permitting! Cheers all!

NightHunters Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Evening all! Quick paint update on the Tusker, seems I may have gone a little OTT on the weathering.... All still quite WIP but all c&c appreciated!

NightHunters Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Much appreciated Razblood, the old LR is certainly next on the painting list but want to finish off the Tusker first, at least that is what i thought....... but then I started to work on the next scout bike during a paint break and never got back to painting! :P Oh well, cheers all!
