Crusader of Dorn Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 After being begged (nagged) by various people i have relented and converted my TS Executioners project to Mants Warriors. Some pics - http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC12604.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC12605.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC12606.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC12607.jpg Still working on the details and the banner is to be stripped and re worked because it was rushed. The squad will be getting jungle theme bases. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I personally liked your Executioners better, but I'm a sucker for 'em and currently have a list and test mini in the work to start an army of them. But from a painting angle, I think these look a lot better, and you're true scales well pulled off. After looking at your work, I'm trying to shake off the temptation to try my own.

Marshal van Trapp Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 i love it, it looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL! did you paint on that border on the shoulders? it looks so crisp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Aye, its not great chopping and changing, The Executioners are a great chapter and perhaps i'll crwate a small GW scale force :P There is a prospect of commission work with this new direction though. :P The shoulder pads trims are painted, i ran out of GS when making these guys hence the lower legs still looking quite termie. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Your defecting to Mantis Warriors? Nooooooo. Anyways, he looks awesome so far and as I said before amazing job with painting the shoulder pad rim! I'm interested in where your going with these :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 man, I was really digging your Executioners thread, but this mini is soooooo well executed, it's a shame your out of GS really, as thats my one little nit pick, the back of those legs, but dude, I checked out each pic at least 3 times. keep 'em coming, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 This guy looks great. I had to do a double take to realise the shoulder trim was painted on. Cant wait to see some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codicier Lucion Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 There's an interesting combination of armours you've made here, and I like the use of the terminator chaplain's storm bolter with them. It fits their style. Mind if I ask what you did to create the chest piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks very much, In truth i didn't need much coercion to switch the project. A friend who i sold my old Eldar army to was looking over my current stuff and she noticed my MW test miniatures. The colour scheme is simpler and more fun. The Executioners will have their day, ;) conversion wise, the torso was made with the front Terminator and back power armour components, the abdomen is GS with armour cables taken from termie arms and cut to fit. The gorget was made by snipping a piece from a blister type packet, bent to curve around the small lip on the neck line of the torso, then glued, reinforced with GS and tidied up. dunno if that made sense, its quite late. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader of Dorn Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Cheers guys, I'm still working away, slowly as i get the free time. Will need to look out some tutorials on Jungle bases, so i do a good job with these guys. The Executioners will be a future project, funds permitting.
