Grizzly_bear Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 That terminator lord with the 'claws of the night' ;) Looks brilliant, Breyer conversation skills then my self, I do agree that the 'wings' look fragile and to me they look off, if I may suggest...I would go with spikes or have half a IG corpse flayed and speared on pole? Just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Targhost Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Humm.. what about having the "bat" wings start from say the colarbones area? it would give some more protection from side attacks too? And some armour studes/spikes on the bakside of the fist for a nasty armourcracking backhand ?Love the pose and model! wicked! and rough up the chainmail a bitt mabya bullet hole in it to or two? and like master Deamon said maby some item/Trophy one the bigger area of the skinloincloth area or stitches + face in it.. :D its brutal after all ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 JeffTibbetts Pistons are plasticard tubes + copperwire, the body of the fists are just regular fists, on top of the fingers are claws from warp talons kit. AVE DOMINUS NOX, ladies and gentlemen! Delay, again. Ooops though I didn't say on which Sunday I will post progress... Anyway, here he is: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8woUYWL2wng/UnZWydPtsBI/AAAAAAAAATE/HfozMXt4bJ8/s1600/Azanael_WIP_4_2.jpg There is some minor changes done by now, but you can get the idea by looking at this picture. I already have him painted, but something went wrong with my camera. I wanted to post both unpainted and painted pics in one post today... oh well... Anyway, what do you think?

Dan The Deamon Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 DUUUUDE. That guy is unbelievable. I'm still in awe over all of the little details. Love the bone work and the helmet. Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death given form Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Gods, Ven. I don't even... there's so much that... He's freaking incredible. Like Dan said, so many little details. I have no words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 AWESOME. This my brother, is why you continue to hold the Crown of Midnight when it comes to our beloved VIIIth legion. I love every single detail, from the armor trim to the amazing cloak, and that helmet is seriously the pinnacle of your brutal art. Ave Dominus Nox!

Lexington Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Jimbus. Friggin'. Christmas. Morning. On. Cake. Or something, I don't know. That thing's lush and gorgeous, like some monstrous, baroque sea predator. You're a credit to the profession, DV. It's giving me the itch to work on my own neglected Astartes hellspawn again.

Olis Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Good gravy, that model purely oozes character. It looks like it was made to square off against other characters. So, going to upload newer pictures soon, or what? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 That's a monster who you face down, knowing you go to your death. Amazing job, Ven. I am beyond jealous of your skills in the sculpting department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Wow. I don't know how to reply to your comments guys, it's just too much complement. Many thanks, I'm really glad that you like the model. Judging by the responses I've hit the bull's eye, speaking about model's character and the impression it leaves. That is the best achievement I could get. Dan The Deamon Many thanks! This time the captain looks not so humble ;) death given form Thank you! I hope I did improve my skills with this model, and that I got a bit closer to GW-level. Brother Heinrich Thanks, brother, but it is you, who provide regular reinforcement to the VIIIth Legion that keep this thing rolling. the Belgian one Thank you :) yes, but now only painted. I was promised that my camera will be fixed by this weekend, so you need just wait for a few days. batu Thanks! I hope I'll bring painting to similar level too. Xavier Targhost Many thanks! That is the best rank he can get :) Lexington Thank you :) that would be awesome if this would make you return to your marines. Olisredan "Master of duels"-achievement get. Thanks :) As for the pictures, I think, I will post some on Sunday, along with his burax-retinue. 1000heathens Thanks, bit it's just about free time and loneliness...

Noctus Cornix Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Not going to lie, the head still just rubs me the wrong way. It seem stubby, like he smashed his face against a wall. This is of course a matter of opinion after all. The cloak is absolutely stellar and is most definitely the highlight of this model. The leg and torso structure is also well done, though I must admit it does seem a tad bit static in my eyes. Maybe had you pushed to back leg a little further or relaxed his arms, he wouldn't seem.. 'seized up'. The only other comment I think I can make is I think you should probably do something about the blank space underneath the cataphracti shoulderpads. Skin patches, chains, something to make it look like real cataphracti shoulders. The chains from the chaos lord on Manticore kit would do perfectly for this bit. Just my two cents, mate.

DarkVen Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Many thanks, noctus, for your reply. You get the idea of the helmet right (although 'smash against a wall' is not the most beautiful matching, but it works). The intension was to make a terminator helmet that would look compact and rough. Some would say it's not a bug, it's a feature. I agree, the pose is a little bit excess (if I get you right), but it's too late to change it now, so I believe it may work, as the model itself is a little bit excess, with all the detailing and 'come get some' look. Yes, I have already filled it with chains :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Man I can't get over how much I love that helmet, it's got the brutal nature of shark's maw. Just primal and predatory in every sense. I cannot wait to see you paint this guy Ven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I can understand that. Like I said before, Its just something I don't like, not that its bad. Its all purely a matter of taste. :) Can't wait to see this guy painted, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDuderino Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Wow those bones on the cape... And the gothic window looking exhausts! You're insane Ven, in the best sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazakelXIII Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I was going to single out the cape's "fingers" as my favorite detail, but y'know what, the whole thing is amazing. One of the best Chaos HQs I've ever seen and it's not even painted yet. Can't wait to see it finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 That Captain is amazing. It really is inspiring to see, it makes me want to push myself to try and reach that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhaunter Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Please dont accuse me for threadomancy, just wanted to ask is this topic still alive. It would be shame if this amazing project is abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 He hasn't been online for a little while but he's probably busy with school or working on orks. No worries, Ven just gets the usual wax and wane of hobby inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I for one don't mind the threadomancy (this time at least), because I don't know how but I somehow missed the current posting of that terrifyingly amazing Terminator Lord, that thing is monstrous.
