Hyaenidae Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 "Man, I'm starving. Let's hit up the chow hall, Jim. Jim?......Hello?" *PFFT* *Thump* Awesome job, NH. Your creativity always impresses. I'm really looking forward to that big-ass airframe, though, that sucker looks amazing. Keep it up, brother!

NightHunters Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Seriously guys, very much appreciated! Sadly not good enough to pick up the win, my fault for trying to get it painted in a day, but whilst the painting will need a bit of a touch up when I get it back I am really happy with the end result. Next up, more work on the flyer and then start on next months painting challenge, a librarian, so if anybody has any tips for skulpting green-stuff flames (big flames, not little candle like ones, FOGB ones) that would be super! Cheers again all! FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/20/#findComment-3341256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Greetings all! So, further to the above, updates on both! Storm Raven/Eagle: Added another bank of lascannons so I can run it as a SE if I fancy it, finished off the air intakes on top and added the landing gear. Still having to figure out a decent sliding mechanism for the rear side doors but that is next. Monthly competition librarian. Early doors yet, I want him to have both hands full taming/unleashing the warp which is why his "chooser of the slain" is carrying his force sword....yeah so much more to do but have to say not half bad for a snap fit mini. Cheers all! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/20/#findComment-3345083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Loving that little scout diorama The Storm Raven/Eagle is pretty awesome as well and the Libby. I seriously need to improve my converting skills :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/20/#findComment-3345457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks Razblood! I can only think that if your converion work improves as quickly as your painting you will be churning out A grade conversions in no time! In the meantime I have been trying to create fire, with green stuff. Turns out I find that not so easy. Only the first "Layer", 2nd layer to come which will build on the first for more depth and add detail as well (i hope) Cheers all!

NightHunters Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Ha, yeah, bit corny, done over and over again, but I just had to give it a go!! Reworked the hand flame some and finished off the flames from the skull so hopes that we can prime and get him painted this weekend, huzza!

Dosjetka Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I can't say that I'm a fan of the Librarian as he is now (not keen on those flamy-skull-thingies), but I'm sure he'll look better after you put your painting magic to work on him ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/20/#findComment-3351872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think it needs more flame from the bottom. Aside from the skull part of it, it should look like a fire ball. In essence it's only a fireball, that just so happens to have the image of a laughing skull.... Keep it up though, I like that he's duel wielding them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/20/#findComment-3351915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Sorry for the quick flyby chaps, real life bla bla bla BBL: Thanks brother, as I said, flaming skulls really aren't the greatest, agreed, but had to give it a go at least once! War Angel: Quite right brother! Hope i sorted that to some degree and now onto the current status! Lots of work to do still obviously but coming together.... Edit: Picture links went deas, apologies brethren!

War Angel Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It looks like you got the fireball effect down. For some reason I always expect red fire. Then I'm reminded its warp fire. That's pretty much exactly how I imagined the warp stuff to look too. Great work.

NightHunters Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 batu: Thanks Brother! War Angel: Yeah it was a toss up between purple or blue to make it seem more etherial, went for purple because it is a spot colour through out the army and had gone for a blue tabbard and wanted a bit of contrast. Glad you like it brother! Paladin7221: Too kind! I picture him marching through the battlefield, balefire wreathed hands unleashing the Emperors Holy Hell on his enemies while his familiar chooser of the slain carries his force weapon, just in case! Bit more work done: Cheers all! FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/20/#findComment-3357105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Have you considered leaving his face either just blacked out or somehow removed from under the cowl? Because left as above he looks as intimidating as all get-out.

NightHunters Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Cheers Raz! And oh my, Army of Darkness, what a classic! On to the weekends actions, the side doors on the Storm Eagle/Raven/Habicht whatever. Basically it goes back to my preference, even in the 40k universe, of things that would actually work. I never saw the point in the side ramps. Too steep and not something you want to be opening in mid flight. So it had to be sliding doors. The front door slide forward into the fuselage, no problems there, but as I ran out of talent and forgot to extend the rear of the fuselage I had to think of a way to have em slide back over the landing gear housings..... Not quite finished, looking to fill in the step boards on the bottom. Next up, door gunners!

NightHunters Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Cheers brother, got the first one blu tacked up but just looks static so am going to have to think about how to fix that!... Any and all thoughts on that welcome! Cheers all!

Montuhotep Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Well, he would be a bit static, wouldn't he? Considering that he's bracing against recoil as well as the gunship's own moving around under fire? I say leave as he is, looks fine to me.
