Malus's Flesh Tearers


Recommended Posts

Camera didn't seem to photo very well. It didn't pick up the blending, highlights and paint chipping-battle damage. Here's the first set, gonna attempt better photo's later with a different camera. My 1850 force.

Rifleman Dread. He's usually my all-star. At least he's the only guy the gets the Red Thirst roll every game!

2x LS Typhoons. I even have weathering/paint scrapping on the under-carrages from flying too low.

Originally, he had a jump pack, and was modelled landing. Now, he's just my Batman Fleshtearer.

And A random assault marine with Melta-gun.

More to come in a few days, with a better camera. It's irritating how good they look up close in person, but the camera isn't picking it up. Especially up close. You can appreciate all the battle damage, wear and tear, blending, highlighting, and shading. Yes, they do look dirty, ugly at a distance. But isn't that truely the Flesh Tearers? In the novel, their equipment looked derelict. But upon closer inspection, it was in pristine working condition. Kinda how my paint job turned out.

Comments welcome. More to come, doing some conversion scenery work for a friend, then off to chop up a Fortress of Redemption, cover it in vines, and make it the Flesh Tearers Black Tower on Cretacia.

Hey Malus got your Pm heh sorry Been busy with another Army (dirty Farsight Xeno Filth) and life but yeah your work is coming along nicely B) loving the Dreads and I too will have a couple of typhoons soon since they are currently in the holy liquid known throughout the Imperium as Simple Green other than that all my stuff is in a state of disrepair :( I do plan on changing this sometime soon though.

 

The Rifleman is using the Ageis Defense thing guns correct? I really should pick some up Can't wait to see the Black Tower you said your making I Have had the a similar idea BUT the Fortress of Redemption is silly expensive and now that ordering over the net does not work at all well any more I doubt It will see a start unless I win lotto or something.

 

However I look forward to more and should get around to posting more One of my next projects is rebuilding "Chainer" mt termie Libby from the AOD and will be rebirthed sometime next week when I pick up half a box of GK termies. yeah Keep up the good work Malus.

Seth's in the photo's. He's hangin out with his Death Company bretheren. I don't have any closeups of him, cause I painted him when the model came out, IE not very well. He looks ok enough, but not to what I can do now.

 

He's actually the only HQ I ever use. I think he is VASTLY under rated, and way more dangerous than the rest of our HQ selections. Everyone knows Mephiston can beat the face off anything and has no invul save. Everyone knows what Chaplains do with DC. Everyone knows what this and that, and all that. So they plan accordingly. Seth is the oddball if you will. 4 wounds 3+/4++ means he's no slouch, not easy to get rid of. Str 8 threatens everything in the game, +rending goodness. Kicking enemies in the nuts on rolls of 1's to attack him has paid for Seth every game I play him. And let's not forget he can AUTO-HIT anything in base contact. With a Str 8 rending weapon. Can others out move or out shoot him? Yes. Do others out punch things than Seth? Yes. The thing is, Seth is cheaper, and can do EVERYTHING pretty well you want him to. He is comfortable anywhere he sets foot on the battlefield with the ability to do something. Diversity of performance. And barring ID, tough as hell to get rid of. My Seth personally has 3 Asbrudial Vect trophy kills, 2 Swarmlords, and made Mephiston reconcile his differences with the Flesh Tearers.

 

Now, for the Black Fortress. Gotta shave the DA chapter badges off the shields, and attempt Greenstuff sculpt, or something of the Flesh Tearer badge over is. The robed angel statues are gonna be red, main fortress black, and gonna attempt a marble look on the black by using the foam inserts in single mini packages as a sponge on Chaos Black/Red Gore mixxed, but not blended together. I think it should leave solid streaks of both colors when applied to the tower.

 

As for the Batman marine, kneeling legs Devastator box, throttle arm from a landspeeder (a biker arm would work too). You may need GS or the parchment piece I put over his backside to cover that he's leaning more forward than the model was designed to do.
