Don the Oiler Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Close, the one thing our hobby is named after: a Warhammer! This particular model is the one that comes with the Captain Korvydae model, which i personally think is the most beautiful. Its visually closer to an actual medieval warhammer, the Thunderhammers all look like scabbling picks. I think nothing says "Angels of Death" like a Hammer/Jumppack combo, that's why i like the Korvydae miniature. I'll consider moving the generator/activator part up to the top, i think they put it lower on the figure so the captain could actually grap it close to the hammer head. Or maybe i'll leave it there, haven't decided yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I thought that looked familiar. Isn't it double sided though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don the Oiler Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 It's not finished yet, i want to model the rest when my actual mini arrives. Should be sometime this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don the Oiler Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 FINALLY got my Captain Korvydae mini today, so i could finish my 3d model too. Enjoy. http://www.deviantart.com/download/252323807/warhammer_40k_thunder_hammer_by_clairegrube-d4686an.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don the Oiler Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Ooooh this one is gonna take a while. Hope i don't lose interest along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 He's back! That's the most amazing model I've ever seen. I must bow in worship of the fine detail... Oh, it's a WIP. Oops. Hm. I'll guess some sort of vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Contemptor! Well, it's technically a vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don the Oiler Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Vehicle, suit and coffin combined in one fancy cake, yes. Not much progress really, but the basic shape was a pain to figure out. Still not right i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don the Oiler Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 I think i'll try modelling a bad weather bird. It'll be a pain since i couldn't find proper side/top/front pictures as reference, not to mention that there's parts i have to simply guess. Hope i'll get farther than with the Contemptor. VERY early WIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don the Oiler Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Testrender. Modelled a complete set of Rhino doors while i'm at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My only critique is be careful of those nonagons, most engines don't like polys with more than four sides. Everything looks really good though, very impressive work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don the Oiler Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks. I didn't really have any game engine in mind actually, especially since i can't UV map and texture at all and have to model every detail i want. Nothing substantially new, but i have the engines pretty much finished. Also, pictures of the Rhino doors i did. I'll post them here since probably noone's going to notice them when the model is finished. I don't really plan to do a Rhino (yet), but the Storm Eagle has the same doors and there are more reference pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrayCatt Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 On your Contemptor, the 'breast line' (for lack of a better designation) is actually a sharp line on the FW model. Basically if you were to take an actual pear, and cut out the widest section of the bottom, and then join the leftover top and bottom section, crating a sharp edge ... Hope that makes sense. Otherwise it is looking great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don the Oiler Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks for the input. Very much appreciated as i don't have one myself, but i've discontinued work on the Contemptor for the time being as i found myself swearing and cursing at the shapes more than was good for my health. Maybe some time later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don the Oiler Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Update time! Added a twin-linked heavy bolter and some details to the interior. I don't know if i'll keep the inside bulkhead, it's on the resin model to give it more stability, but there's a hatch directly above it which is practically rendered inaccessible. The reason for the hatch is, of course, this part is from the GW Stormraven kit, which has the servitor controlled gunturret there. Maybe i'll just make the hatch a sensor device or something.

Don the Oiler Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Finished the inner door, here's an animation to show its operating principle. Seems to be the same hatch that's also used in the Rhino interior. I think i'll christen it the "om-nom-door". http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/330/e/a/animated_storm_eagle_door_by_clairegrube-d5mapwq.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCrute Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Marvellous work. I never thought about that door mechanism, but obviously you have the right of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don the Oiler Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Thanks, the "animation" is really just 9 screenshots made into a .gif. I've taken the liberty of putting some stairs under the door, the ledge is a little too high and steep, even for a Space Marine. I have no idea why it's there in the first place, don't tell me it's because it makes that flying brick more aerodynamic. EDIT: The door's segments would barely show when rendered, so i gave them a little more profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly256 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hey 'Don The Oiler'I really like the work you have done in maing a 3D Storm Eagle. I see you are using google sketchup. Would you be willing to upload the completed file to google models?The reason i ask is that i recently bought a Storm Eagle from Forge World and it was terribly warped and shrunken. I tried straightening them out as much as i could, but it didnt fix all the problems. So i was seeking a 3d model so that i may print the parts at a local high def 3D printer. I hope you considering shareing this model as it is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
