Razblood's randomness, change on the horizon.

[JamesG89]

Looks really nice and it was a pelasure seeing your painting skills develop as you painted more and more of the army. Loving the gs work as well it all looks smooth and well done and the red power weapons look striking and contrat well.

 

Also looking forward to seeing more of your flesh tearers.

 

Cheers

Thanks for the comments :)

Here's the promised update, though the Honour Guard & DC aren't quite ready for the camera yet :P

Dread with finished Red

Here's an update on my DIY Chapter in the form of the mostly finished Attack Bike

And now for something completely different ;)

For a change of pace and in order to test my painting I decided to try a scheme I've never attempted.

Here is the victim at the primed stage, which was yesterday around 6pm

And here he is as of an hour ago...

All in all theres about 7 hours of painting gone into this guy and I don't even own a pot of Dark Angels/Caliban Green nor Bleached/Ushabti Bone, so I am very happy with how he came out ;) so much so that I think I'll put him in the Hall of Honour.

Anyway comments and Criticisms welcomed as always and I'll try and get another update soon ;)

[Razblood]

Quick update.

 

Got the Honour Guard's Red done, just need to get the rest done ^_^

 

As for the Death Company, they're about 90% done :D Just the detailing & Iconography to do.

 

Hopefully finish them off tomorrow and get some pics up by Tuesday at the latest.

[Razblood]

Update as promised :)

Here is the completed Death Company.

Happy with how they turned out, except for the Chapter badge which needs some work ;)

Here's their Chaplain.

Close up on Shoulder detail.

And also completed is the Dread.

And finally a group shot, although the anle went a bit funky :P

Thats the lot for now, but I have the Honour Guard and Assault squad in progress and I've started prepping Gabe Seth for his new coat of paint :)

Comments and Criticism welcomed as always ;)

All the Red & base for the metal is done on the Assault Squad and Honour Guard, next thing is to layer on the Black and shade down the metal then finally the Gold areas can be done :)

 

After that it's Iconography, which I seriously don't enjoy :P and bases.

 

When all of this is done I will begin Seth :cuss after popping up a couple of pics of course ;)

[Razblood]

One more quick update before the next piccy update.

 

I've just won a set of P3 metallics on e-bay (5 different paints for around £5, including postage :) ) so I've decided to wait till I get them before continuing with the Honour Guard, however the Assault Squad only needs a few hours more work so I'll have some pics of them up in the next few days :)

 

Toodles :P

[Razblood]

I crumbled and did more work on the Honour Guard as well as the Assault squad :lol:

 

Also started scupting up a Librarian in MKIII Armour based on Gawain Veteris' Awesome Armour Tutorial

 

My P3 Metallics also arrived today (Pig Iron, Brass Balls, Cold Steel, Quicksilver & Radiant Platinum [i was supposed to get Blighted Gold as well but he accidentally put in a second pot of Radiant Platinum] all unopened for just over

[Razblood]

Well heres the pic update, however nearly everything is PIP or WIP so please bear that in mind when it comes to comments ;)

Lets start with the Flesh Tearers Assault Squad -

These guys are mostly done, just some detailing and the bases to do. Since these guys were built with whatever scrap I had lying around I'm quite pleased with how they've turned out :)

Next up is the Honour Guard -

These are in much the same place as the Assault Squad, just detailing and Bases to finish as well as another highlight on the gold helmets.

Here's something new -

This guy will be the Librarian of my little Flesh Tearers force. Custom MKIII Armour based on Gawain Veteris' MKII tutorial, I've just extrapolated on it a bit :D

And finally something completely different -

This is my Black Templar test scheme, made from a converted Black Reach Captain.

No too happy with the Black or the surplice (using new tools but they're a bit too soft and maybe a bit too big I think) but then again I have been burning the Midnight oil as it were so I shouldn't expect greatness :lol:

Anyway I look forward to getting some comments, or even some criticism :lol:

[Razblood]

Well the Honour Guard & Assault squad are done, bar squad markings (which I just can't be bothered to do right now :rolleyes: ) And I've got the basecoat of Red on Seth.

 

I'll put a couple of pics of the one or two of the finished Marines up tomorrow, but I have to say that as a force they are looking quite cohesive ^_^

 

So much so that I think I will expand on these guys as my next full army.

 

Anyway, I'll be getting back to the White Stars soon with the finished Pred and Tac Squad 5; probably finishing the FT Libby and possibly FT Termie Squad in between.

 

So there will be further updates in the near future ;)

[Razblood]

Well here I am with another pic update, this time of the finished Assault Squad and Honour Guard.

I'm really quite happy with how they all turned out , but I'm trying to think of a simple way to weather them without taking too much away from the paint job.

Anyway without further ado - Assault Squad

Honour Guard

Forgot to take a pic of the Blood Champ, but he hasn't changed much since the last one :)

And finally....

Gabriel Seth - Chapter Master of the Flesh Tearers ;)

And thats the Flesh Tearers done for the moment :)

I'm still working on the Artificier Armoured Libby and considering adding the Termie Squad, but I think I need to get back to my DIY Chapter for a bit first.

More updates soonish ;)

C & C welcome as always.

[Razblood]

Update time :)

May I present my Flesh Tearers Librarian in Artificier Armour :D

Based on the MKII tutorial by Gawain Veteris Linky

Not overly enthused by the Backpack, but I don't want to push my luck ;)

Paint soon :)

[Dark Apostle Thirst]

These are all pretty amazing, really surprised at how few comments you get. I'll be following this ;)

[Razblood]

Cheers ;)

 

I try not to let the low comment count get me down :D

[itasiah]

I think it's a good work, but needs more practice, especially on details. I dare to suggest you to try less gs when sculpting, because now the models seems too "puffy".

Anyway about the low comment count you have all my support, I tried the same on my skin, when i posted my wip space wolves. :tu: I hate this things

[Razblood]

I know I need a lot more practice as well as better tools, but my ambition usually outweighs my ability :D

 

The "puffy" look is intentional, as I wated to convey a thickness and heavyness to the armour since it's based on MKIII which is quite bulky.

 

Cheers for the constructive comment though and thanks for the support ;)

[Grizzly_bear]

dam brother you're working hard on it asren't you? well done is all i can say fella, at least you made the plunge into green stuff and sculpting, i won't touch it yet lol

 

so how come you're doing flesh tearers now?

[Olis]

Might I suggest a little filing and sanding, brother? It might give you some sharper edges and cleaner lines, like for the axe for example. :D

[Razblood]

@ Dorns_Fist - Hello stranger :P

 

I started them out as an allied force for my White Stars, but like having the option of running them as a small army in their own right.

 

Plus I got bored of painting White :P

 

@ Olisredan -

 

Yeah it is a bit rough round the edges and I will be doing some more sanding and filing on it, then giving it a thin coat of liquid GS to smooth it out a bit more.

 

The Axe will be getting hit with the sandpaper quite heavily as I want to give it a nice edge on the serrations :D

 

Cheers for the comments :)

[Razblood]

Well I spent a good part of the evening smoothing out the rougher areas and such, but I couldn't resist slapping on the primer for too long :rolleyes:

 

It's mostly dry now an I have to say that he's looking pretty good imo.

 

The big test will be when I start putting the base for the blue on, but it's looking very smooth from where I'm sitting :P

 

I'll put a couple of pics up tomorrow, before I apply the first basecoat. After all I only have a couple of weeks to paint him up for a game :(

[Razblood]

Well as promised heres some pics of the Libby primed.

I know I haven't got him looking super crisp, but I decided to leave him as is because I'm worried I'll end up doing more harm than good :cuss

One thing I have changed is that I've given him a standard backpack, I just didn't like the GS'd one tbh :D

The next pics I'll be posting up will be of the finished article, which will probably be in a few days, Wednesday at the latest (got a very busy weekend ahead :) )

Bye for now :P

[Razblood]

Well here we are again with another update :)

I present my custom Flesh Tearers Librarian.

I really like how he's turned out, not perfect by a long shot but he fits with the army and doesn't look too ostentatious (which being a Flesh Tearer is kind of fitting) so he doesn't detract from Seth being the centerpiece :)

Not sure what or when the next update will be, but it'll probably be sooner than later knowing me ;)

C&C welcomed as always.

[Razblood]

Ok I'm stuck :(

 

I've decided that the Libby is a bit TOO plain and want to go back and add some more detailing, most likely freehand, but I don't want to do that right now as I know I'll get annoyed with it :lol:

 

I do have the Termies prepped, but I'm not sure I fancy painting them either :)

 

There is another item I could work on, though I'm loath to reveal too much as I have a game in a couple of weeks and there are eyes everywhere :ph34r:

So I wouldn't be able to post anything about it until after the game <_<

 

Then there are the next units for my White Stars, which are about a third of the way done already, but I just can't seem to find the enthusiasm to paint them.

 

Anyway to my point.

 

I would like the Frater's help in deciding what I paint next. The choices are as follows -

 

A: Flesh Tearer Terminator Squad

B: Secret Weapon for Ultimate Victory (or crushing defeat as usual :rolleyes: )

C: White Stars Tactical Squad 5 & Predator (with Destructor & Annihilator configs)

 

I look forward to your votes ;) if any....at all....erm hello?

Edited October 29, 2012 by Razblood

[Dark Apostle Thirst]

Secret weapon. Those are always the best. Just ask Darth Vader :)

[Razblood]

Having had a good look at the Secret Weapon :ph34r: I noticed that I'm missing more parts than I thought :wallbash:

 

I'll take a crack at scratchbuilding the bits, hopefully I'll be able to get it ready in time for the game ^_^

 

Cheers for the reply Thirst, looks like you were the only one though :lol:

[NightHunters]

I actually like that sculpt, bit rough around the edges but one hell of a good effort! Emperor only knows the mess I would produce trying that!

 

Also may I say nice work in general on the tearers, really nice contrast to the White stars, but I would still say go for more stars shooty goodness next!

 

Keep it up brother, your stuff is just getting better end better ;)
