DarkVen Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 batu Well, it's more about luck, I guess, than returning to proper time-table :blush: I'm not getting enough sleep because of study; combining with my laziness it sets pretty huge pauses in my work-ability. Speaking of 'cultists' - I'm thinking about black for cloaks and beige for pants and shoes, maybe grey/light grey/white for armor parts. I don't want them to look entirely like my NLs, simple because I see them as a food for powder/gray mass, so say. A unit is completely exterminated - ok, that's fine; we got about 500 men to gather a new one in a matter of seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkVen Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 AVE DOMINUS NOX, ladies and gentlemen! :) It's been a bit almost two weeks since my last update, so I think I can post something to keep this thread alive. For aperitif - renegades's champ: http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/5433/renegades1champwip.jpg Funny little guy. He is the 'chaotest' of all my renegades. I'll try to keep similar theme in whole squad, so he may represent what my renegades will look like once they're finished. Also I bought some nice castings of g36, to try it out with my guys. Not so sure about the result. What do you think guys - comparing to 'regular' krieg's rifles? http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4453/renegades1wip4.jpg http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/546/renegades1wip3.jpg Piece de resistance for today - two atramentars: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/319/atramentar2wip.jpg http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/3614/atramentar3wip.jpg They need some work still, 'the Bunny' needs his left hand :tu: Not so much about conversions, I think - comparing to my raptors, at least - but these guys look fine and dandy. Need to assemble sergeant for them still, and I think I have few ideas for him. And finely the very early WIP for Azanael, The First Captain of the 8th Grand Company: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2883/azanaelwip1.jpg Some of you may remeber old pics of bits for him and recall that I wanted him to wear some kind of artificial power armor. Yet I thought every badass wear TDA... no-no-no, not like that :lol: since we got no artificial armor for our Lords as equipment option, I'm little bit upset about it. I thought Azanael can wear 'count as' terminator armor still, as he stood on 40mm base, but then again - why not build terminator model itself? TDA looks far more mighty than any artificial armor, it also offers some interesting conversion opportunities. Decision was obvious and quick. He needs much work still (mainly GS), this is just early version. But I hope you like the pose at least :D Off topic: Just played few games at my club, tried different rosters and figured out I need 10 bikes, 5 spawns, 4 havocs with autocannons, 10 cultists with ccw, 10 csm with just ccw... Holy cow. And I need either include 'marked' units or see my army vaporized. Decisions, decisions... Stay tuned, DV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 In regard to the G36's - I think it looks too weedy, especially the barrel. In a pinch replacing just the barrel might help but I think the whole thing needs swapping out, tbh. :tu: The Atramentar look great, as does the renegade champion and the captain looks promising (although you'll have to do something about those plasticard crotch plates). :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 The Atramentar look fantastic as does the Renegade champ, for the rifles I would maybe just chop the weedy barrel off and leave it as is. I think they look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks for you opinions on rifles guys. Olisredan Well this guy has lost his original lasgun due technical issues, so he will keep g36 :P I think these guys use every gun they can find (btw that's why there is/will be many different types of autoguns/lasguns, that was lying around in bitz-boxes for a plenty of time). And yeah, I plan some ornaments for this plasticard plates :) Biohazard It's autogun still, so it needs barrel still ;) so maybe just swap it...

DarkVen Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 AVE DOMINUS NOX, ladies and gentlemen! :) Little update for my force. As I said earlier, I need 4 autocannon havocs right now. Good thing is - I have enough bits to build at least 10 marines. Bad thing is - I have no autocannons :D but that's not a big problem, when you have 5 to 10 boxes, filled with random bits. After an evening of research I found 4 heavy bolters. I must say, I don't like when a big barrel just glued with hb-body together too much, so I tried to figure out, how to build an autocannon, without looking it like hb+random pipe. I got some ideas (like I ever do :lol: ), I wanted some combination of tank rifle, grenade launcher and hmg; but I got no exact concept. The initial autocannons were much like IG grenade launchers, in term of caliber. Then I switched the barrels to more like classic-autocannon style, and it took much better. Now I assembled one test guy, so I could show something to you: http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/4368/havoc1wip.jpg And closer look to autocannon design: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/9089/autocannonwip.jpg Needs much wotk still, but the idea is clear. Also, I assembled two sergeants for my force. The champ of the 4th claw is glued, so he has no weapon-choice - what is a poor thing right now, when I'm testing all the possible options, trying to find reasonable combination. These guys have magnets in their torso, so switching weapons to keep WYSIWYG-rule won't be a problem anymore. http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/4003/havocsargewip.jpg http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/1693/sarge3wip1.jpg And a side project. A friend of mine saw my works and asked me, could I convert Death Guard terminators for him. After a bit of conversation and dealing I agreed. Now I have 3 terminators to convert for him, and if he likes them - I'll have 17 more :lol: Here are the bits he gave me: http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/492/bitzk.jpg The basis are AoBR terminators and some bits from GK-kit. FW bits are just examples that I'll try to use for inspiration. Well, that's fine. I foresee lots and lots of reposing and GS-work... So all we know what AoBR terminators look like: http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/5217/defaultterminator.jpg My goal is to turn this into awesomeness, in the name of the Grandfather Nurgle :D Stay tuned, DV :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 looking good Ven :lol: i like the autocannon and the new sergeants, though the autocannon gunners left hand looks odd. it looks like the wrist is bent too far and because of that it looks anatomical incorrect to me. what i don't like is you abandoning our legion for the rotten followers of papa nurgle :lol: and i think Olisredan wasn't talking about ornaments for the crotch plate, but about the dimensions. the plate looks like it would be next to impossible to walk normal with it.

Kol Saresk Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I second Wicced on the autocannon and the Sergeants. Hmm, Death Guard. Well as long as they kill Imperials, I won't mind. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Wicced Yeah, the arm needs reposing - thanks for the remark! :) And for plasticard with Azanael - well, yeah... need to think. And I'm not abandoning VIII Legion, I will keep making Night Lords - just helping other Chaos followers for the sake of the Black Crusade :) Kol_Saresk I think you'll like the result, as soon as I will finish these rotten refrigerators :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuriousFerret Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/4003/havocsargewip.jpg Love your work! One question though: this backpack, the one with three propeller vents, where's it from? I've seen it on images on B&C and Warseer, but can't find it on bitz sites.

FuriousFerret Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ah, thank you! With this information I finally managed to find an obscure bitz site that had a few of them. Am I correct in thinking that these packs are no longer offered in the Khorne Berzerker box? Because every bitz site out there (except one) do not have them and offer the standard CSM backpacks as a matter of course. (Of course, I'm not going to buy a whole Zerk box just to check out my theory). DarkVen, I love your work, very inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 AVE DOMINUS NOX, ladies and gentlemen. I became ill that week, so I couldn't work on miniatures much. I have some progress to show you though. Nurgle termies: http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6922/terminatorswip1.jpg http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7632/terminator1wip1.jpg Two other will be redone, poses aren't that great. Any suggestions?

Dan The Deamon Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Compensators. A couple of drilled holes in the barrels/ angry muzzle crowns to smash faces or press on the side of tanks and doors before blasting. Bionic eye lenses. sort of laser designator for ldr. spare ammo boxes/links The facemask of the havoc champ is killer man. I can't tell what's going on on top though.

DarkVen Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Thanks for your replies guys. Daemon Smith Thank you. I still need to figure out design for ammo barrels - they just seem to be too dull right now. Dan The Deamon What a list! Great suggestions, I will definitely use all of them, in one way or another! I can't tell what's going on on top though. I don't understand this sentence though :lol: you mean the cape, that this champ has? Biohazard Thanks. Originally it was designed for Azanael, now I just don't want it to stay abandoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I did wonder what was happening on top of his head as well but now you say it's a cape I totally see it. Look forward to the paint on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Biohazard Cape still needs a bit of work with gs and modelling knife. I guess I just found perfect source of inspiration... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellChyld Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 the cowl on the helmet threw me off till you said cape. looking good ven cant wait to see more. Dan seems to covered most of the good ideas that pop to mind but if any more show up I'll suggest them quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
