Soups Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 So, we all know and love our 2nd favorite Chaplain (our first being Lemartes. Anyone who says differently is a meanie head). I for one hate his official GW model. It looks nice. Doesn't appear to be a 2 press like some other neat yet boring characters we have had in the past. But I could never get over his boring pose and ... face mask? He doesn't own a death mask. He has long flowing hair and visits me in my dreams at...never mind. http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m274/SoupsMan/WarHammer40k/Picture3-1.png So, here he is, in his unpainted glory. http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m274/SoupsMan/WarHammer40k/DSC00898.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m274/SoupsMan/WarHammer40k/DSC00903.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangamarine Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Looks good so far, can't wait to see the paint. One suggestion is can you take some close up pics, I can't see all the detail as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangamarine Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 can you get the pictures any larger? and is your album private, because I couldn't get into it to see ig you had them any larger on there. Otherwise brilliant conversion can't wait to see it painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soups Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I think I got the resolution bigger. I miss photoshop :) This photo editor i have is...inadequate. And I think photobucket forces a resize now. http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m274/SoupsMan/WarHammer40k/DSC00899-1.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m274/SoupsMan/WarHammer40k/DSC00903-1.jpg I was recently pointed to a blog that has greenstuff feathers. I am now torn between painting feathers for his pasticard wings, and making my own. I need to buy a few tubes of green stuff anyway, since I'm almost out, and $20 for 100g of galeforce 9 green-stuff is to much to pass up, compared to GW's $10 5g green-stuff (really? Is that necessary GW?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I like your version of Astorath but I also love the current GW one, he looks solid I think (solid means extremely tough by the way, it's local dialect from where I live, Newcastle upon Tyne, England! Haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Looks great! The flow of the model is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 but wheres the skull mask.. or at least a death mask. your model is nice but i would take that as more of a capt, or libby. but theres not enough mortis in your chappy rescipe. this mini needs more mortis! or cow bell for that matter...

Zeller Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Are you some kind of fire bending wizard? The feathers on the wings being gs'd would add some really nice detail to the wings and make him even more impressive. Do you plan on making the muscle bundles that the GW mini has?

I like fire, what can I say? It was the only way I could get the plasticard to bend the way I wanted it to, and having worked with styrene sheets in art classes, I knew it worked. My muscle bundles will definitely be painted on. I must stock up on booze before that painting adventure starts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soups Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Now with 3000% more greenstuff http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m274/SoupsMan/WarHammer40k/DSC00912.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m274/SoupsMan/WarHammer40k/DSC00911.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m274/SoupsMan/WarHammer40k/DSC00910.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m274/SoupsMan/WarHammer40k/DSC00908.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toaae Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Now with 3000% more greenstuff And 3000% more awesomeness, too. I love it! Now, lets get it painted! I cannot wait to see this bad boy finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabgoi Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Good work on the mini, and man is that a deal on green stuff. That is one of the things I like most about these boards, you find such good places to go to get your gaming fix at a fraction of the GW price. I mean good lord, after you find places like armor cast how can you ever justify buying GW terrain? I believe I will be buying a few tubes of green stuff from that site you reccomended next weekend.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Whoah! That's almost the most Green Stuff I've seen on an infantry model, and it looks awesome. Can't wait for more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soups Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 oh, (not a plug), this is the place my friend told me to go to learn to green stuff feathers. http://davetaylorminiatures.blogspot.com/search?q=feather I will update sometime next week, mayhaps. It depends if I run Astorath in the 1500+sideboard tournament in my area next month. I plan on using Dante and the Sanguinor as of right now (WIP thread for that one soon. Just got the instamold stuff from coolminiornot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleshoes Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Great work! Are you going to end up with his deathmask, or are you aiming to keep him as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Yorei Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Great work! Are you going to end up with his deathmask, or are you aiming to keep him as is? astorath doesnt have a deathmask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleshoes Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Are the cables attacked to his his mask like "face" there for show in the GW model then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soups Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Are the cables attacked to his his mask like "face" there for show in the GW model then? Like Terminator captains, librarians, Mephiston, Magnus Calgar, etc... important people don't need helmets. I felt the "death mask" of his official model is clunky looking, and does not fit in with his codex artwork. Also, he never has a deathmask in his wargear.

Those cables could connect to his vox-caster as he is Thee High Chaplain and his Oratories of Redemption need to be heard planetwide when he comes to claim our fallen brethren!!! :drool: Or they could be part of an air-filtration system since he doesn't wear a mask or helmet.
