Rob_Loken Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Your Space Sharks rule mate. And that Blood Angel rocks, I like the tone you achieved on the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage_heathen Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Absolutly stunning work. Realy insparational stuff. Your skin tones are absolutly perfect. Im curious, You said you did some minor modifications to the helmates of your Terminators, I was wondering how you did them, as they look great.

Kay Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 those charcadons look really really great. You are doing an amazing job! Could you please tell us how you do that weathering? its one of the best i've seen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arne Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Splendid work again! Nice effect with the clean shoulderpads on the terminators! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry_hhh Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 i cant wait to see Commander Tyberos, i reckon your scheme will really make that mini stand out also , how have you attached the chain bayonets to the bolters ,just super glue? one thing i have noticed it looks to me you havent put them far back enough on the bolter. i ran across the same problem myself recently , this is how forgeworld seems to attach them: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...FERROX-X10.html (2nd PIC) i know these are a different pattern but surely they attach the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machinepriest Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Today is a happy day... I'm sure you can guess why. CARCHARODON TRANSFERS! Finally! The decal sheet is everything I hoped for and I can't wait till I get mine in the mail. I ordered a sheet and a MKIV Ironclad Dreadnought with a Seismic Hammer which I'm going to convert to have a brutal looking Sharks head instead of that Eagle ram. And as for that Contemptor pattern Dreadnought... WHOA. I'm SO getting one in a couple of weeks. So, expect a Forgeworld Ironclad and Contemptor Dreadnought in weathered grey with shark icons in the future! :) At the moment, I'm working on my Tyberos. He's going to be a bit different and I'll show you why in a couple of days... Right! Lots of questions to answer. Beef: I just tear a piece from a regular kitchen sponge. You can also use the foam from blister packs. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4037/427391..._a0c91494a1.jpg I hold the piece of sponge with a pair of tweezers in order to get to areas like between the legs. I dab it into the paint and wipe it against a paper towel to get most of the paint of the sponge, I then gently dab it onto the model focusing on areas that would receive a lot of abuse like sharp edges and joints. I cover up any excessive chips with the base colour. I also paint some chips with a brush like the fine dark lines you can see on my models. Lorenzen: The Blood Angel was painted with Vallejo game colour: Bloody Red, shaded with Devlan Mud and highlighted with Vallejo model colour: Brown Rose. savage_heathen: Thanks a lot! The modification is really minor. First of all, I use the helmets from the Space Wolf Terminators as they have these vertical slits on the cheeks which I think gives a sort of gill-like look which suits Carcharodons well. I then shave off the top 'plate' above the eyes carefully with a scalpel. You can see which part I'm talking about if you compare my Terminators with regular ones :) Kay: Thanks for the compliment. See the reply I gave to Beef for a rundown on the weathering. Thanks again for all the feedback people! I really appreciate it. Even though you use that silly old chapter name :P :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Wilhelm Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 These look tough. Bad-Sam's Wolves use something similar with a light grey and then black shoulders, and I am surprised at how good the light grey looks. Same with yours, it looks really tough. The white face and black eyes are a great combo, and the whole colour combination has a great "realistic" look that you don't quite get with some other Chapters. I know the old SS had the red-stripe, but it looks much cooler without, imo. Do the Space Sharks basically use C:SM with a few fancy bits thrown in?

ephrael Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I love what you have done with your marines. I'm going to be using your grey recipe on my sharks as soon as my custom chapter badge molds arrive. I know someone who can provide you with some molds of the Sharks emblem if you are interested. PM me for details and keep up the excellent work.

Lorenzen Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 cheers for the recipe, ill have to have a look at brown rose as a highlight colour at some point.. its cool to see the charcaradon transfers being released.. but at the same time it depresses me knowing that my chapter is most likely going to be last on the list.. im very interested to see how your scheme comes out on a vehicle or if you go insane from all the flat pannels and subtle weathering you have to do.. though insanity is always cool i guess.

savage_heathen Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Ahh, I thaught you had put the slits into the helmates yourself, I might have to get some of the SW heads for my own terminators, if I ever get around to getting any. Im looking forward to your Dreds, and Tyberos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxeed II Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I have to ask you a LOT of things about them, but before... COMPLIMENTS!! They are really beautiful!! I'd like to know a couple of things! 1) How did you made the terminator's studs? 2) How did you made his head looking like this? Ok, i read the post just above mine xD They are awesome!!

Marshal Rohr Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I love them, but the Carcharodons are mutants so the bareheaded guy just seems out of place. They have rows of teeth like a shark, so anyone just talking to them would freak out. However, dont let my fluffnazism keep you from posting pics of these sexy sea monsters :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulse Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Source for the rows of teeth? IA 10 - Badab War pt 2, athough it doesn't say specifically that all of the Caracharodon's have teeth like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 True, I apologize for my lack of source. Personally, I like the idea for why they are super distance and dont ever talk. It would be super hard to talk with three rows of razor sharp, acid covered teeth :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Honestly id prefer them without the whole shark teeth idea. Its weird enough that the space wolves turn into werewolves, without every chapter with an animal in its name taking on some of that animal's characteristics.

Lorenzen Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 i didnt see any mention of shark teeth in the badab book.. dark eyes and dodgy skin colouring yes.. rows of teeth not so much. plus they do talk.. rarely and apparenting in high gothic most of the time.. but they do talk.. its just in battle everything is done over encyrpted vox so they seem silent.

Nemesor Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Cause, y'know, everyone else doesn't already have bizarrely fitting names anyway... Blood Angels, space vampires whose Primarch was literally an angel. Iron hands, a Chapter obsessed with bionics, who had a Primarch quite literally with hands of metal. etc. It's just a 40k thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Armored gauntlets went to the Terminator's helm and the fastenings hissed open, amber light dying in the helms optic-lenses. The scarred face that was revealed was sharp visaged and waxen, deathly white, the eyes as fathomless and pitiless a ablack as the dark between the stars. "Hail the Emperor," the Carcharodon whispered through rows of ivory teeth. Imperial Armor 10, page 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 That means he has white teeth... nothing to do with shape there. Ivory is just another term for dentine which is what our own teeth are made from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 maybe he just had a bad teeth as a child and no dentist? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
