nurgling6688 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Well I still have the two last members of the tactical squad to finish at least. After that I'm not sure, but 2 more Astral Claws for sure. Hopefully within the summer :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Nice one, glad to hear that we'll be seeing more of these! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 and as promised here is one of those last two tactical marines. I have named him Sargent Numas, the brave veteran who leads 2nd squad throughout the Badab War conflict. While the rest of the members of his squad have completely abandoned the lions head symbol that use to adorn all of their armor, Numas still flies to proudly on his banner, with the Tyrant's Claw much smaller and in the corner. Despite this he has taken the Claw for his shoulder guard since it is seen as an affront to Huron not to. He led 2nd squad all the way until the battle of the Palace of Thorns, at which seeing how his brothers were slowly slipping into madness and defiling the Imperial Eagle, he attempted to turn his squad on his own chapter to support the Loyalists. Unfortunately his switch of allegiance was short lived as Balathu slit his throat while his back was turned and the remainder of 2nd squad made a fighting retreat with Huron into the Maelstrom. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/numas2.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/numas1.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/numas3.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/numas5.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/numas4.jpg I am pretty proud of all the glow effects on him as well as the banner. The design for it was copied out of the Badab War book. I went with the more noble fluff for him based solely on the fact that he just doesn't look as ruthless as the rest of his squad. I think its the pose and the helmet. Vote for him on CMoN here. Comments and crit welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Very very sexy, man, and I love the bit of fluff. Does this mean you are gonna continue with the Astral Claws, or are you still ditching 'em? Whatever your decision, I'll be waiting impatiently for your next work. Awesome job, brother! Edit: Voted!

TheWulfen92 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I really love the techmarine I think he looks amazing. Id love to know how you did the blades on his servo harness. Also great effect on the sargent's plasma pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Wonderful back banner on the Sergeant my friend. I had hoped to see more Astral Claws from you, but whatever your decision, and like 1kheathens, I will be following your next project eagerly. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Thanks everyone. @ThWulfen92: Do you want to know how I painted them or what I made them out of? To paint them I followed the guide from white dwarf on how the Eavy Metal team painted the Space Hulk Sargent. Paint the blade black the paint the energy lines on with a 1:1 mix of regal blue and ice blue. Also hit the edges of the blade and any power nodes on it. Add in more Ice Blue and paint thinner lines inside the ones you just painted. Then mix in some white and again, thinner lines. You may also want to leave some lines or chunks of lines the last stage and not put any white on them. This makes it look like the energy is actaully flowing around it. Finally pure white on the edges, the nodes and any parts of the energy arcs that are touching either of those two. I also tend to make the area around the nodes have a glow (since this is where the energy is coming from) and have a higher concentration of energy lines near the tip. Give this whole thing a glaze of a 1:1 mix of dark angels green and hawk turquoise. Touch up the white highlights again and you're done. Or you can go one step further (which I did on the tech marine) and start doing glazes of pure white near the tip to make it look like a ton of energy is there, just don't over do it and make sure it blends in. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejandrinus Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Wow nurgling6688, impressive army and great freehand. The lighniting fx and conversion in Valthex are amazing.

nurgling6688 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hey everyone, I know its been a long time, I've been working on some Fantasy stuff as well as commissions, but I finally got started on the last member of the tactical squad. This guy is still very wip, I still have to do some putty work around his bionic eye, his "belt buckle" and maybe his bionic arm. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/wiptac.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/wiptac2.jpg Let me know if you guys have any suggestions. I was originally going to have him looking at the scanner with his other arm cradling the bolter as its slung over his shoulder, but that would have required sculpting his entire left arm from the elbow down. Plus I feel like this pose fits in with the rest of the quad more. Comments and crit welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 He may be WiP, but he's shaping up nicely :devil: Looking forward to seeing the end result! Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hes finished! The last member of the Tactical squad. I don't have any fluff for him yet, but I'm leaning towards Tech Adapt since he has the scanner, bionic arm and bionic eye. Let me know what you think. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/beaky.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/beaky2.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/beaky3.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/beaky4.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/beaky5.jpg I don't think I'm going to sell these guys anymore, but I still don't know. I am also thinking of adding some snow and such to their bases to make them pop more. Comments and crit welcome as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Seriously nice work as always mate, not sure on the oversized groin guard though! :blink: Agreed on the "cup" I don't think like it as much.

nurgling6688 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Some army shots! Its finally playable, yet no games played though. I took these pictures at my local store to make use of their tables and terrain so the lighting is not the best. I plan on going back and taking professional photos of every model and squad. Strike Force Valthex http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/army.jpg First half of Tactical Squad Numas http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/squad1.jpg Second half http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/squad2-1.jpg Assault squad (unnamed) http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/assault.jpg Scout squad (unnamed) http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/scouts.jpg Oh yeah, I re did all the bases. Decided that the grey wasn't popping enough. I tried just adding snow at first but then I decided that the ground needed to be brighter as well. I think it also makes the Red Scorpion parts on the bases stand out a bit more. There will be better shots of them later. Let me know what you think. ~Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I didn't notice it until now, but the lighting from the auspexe is fantastic :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 *sigh* Beautiful, man. I would give my left arm to have a chance to play against you and this gorgeous army. Keep up the great work, and I am so glad you didn't sell these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
