The Tempest Hounds


Recommended Posts

I love how they look like they have caught diseased fire. It's a really unique take I haven't seen before. The armor looks well shaded and gross in all its applications. The robes on a few of those guys are top notch though! The whole green, gray, brown shading deal looks good on armor, but phenomenal on cloth!

Deathspectre- thanks mate, not sure hopefully soon. My only opponent nowadays is my little cousin, but I've beaten him everytime we play so he's starting to lose heart in the game. Trying to make lists that should be easy on him but I dunno, heh.

 

Max- thanks bud, I try!

 

Flint- thanks and yeah it is a very different look. Just had the idea in my head for a long time, glad I was finally able to finish them. The wash I used is actually a shade of brown with a tiny bit of green in it, really great for Nurgle. Then I followed up with a green wash on the robes and the sores/fleshy bits.

 

Next up is something inspired by reading Excessus's blog awhile back, really love his minis.

Hey y'all, finally home again after dogsitting for family members, so annoying... wallbash.gif Anyway, first thing I did when I got home was get to work on something sorcerous! Just a couple WIP pics. Did some GS flames on his outstretched arm and GS'd a little tabard thingy in front. Not much else going on but C&C if you want!

Another little update here, give people and idea of what this fella actually is. Still lots of work to do though. Really been putting off painting his actual head, those little lines look really intimidating... Fluffwise he is going to be the former master of my warband's resident sorcerer and will be working to undermine the leadership of the warband.

Thanks man. Little more progress. Head wasn't too bad actually. Still waiting on the TS pad I ordered to come in. For some reason I sold all my old TS except for one head, dunno what I was thinking.....maybe I was going to use the head as a trophy, who knows. Anyway, have the flames, force weapon, details and then lots of highlights yet to do.

Flint, I like to do sorcerous stuff/force weapons greenish colors and power weapons blue. Just a OSD thing I guess all my guys have to match colors if their weapons are the same type.

 

Deathspectre, psh cute! Thanks though man.

 

Wicced, hmm thick you say? Might just be the quality of the photo, using my phone for these pictures. The blue is like a 1:1 ratio so that part can't be thick haha, although the metallics could be thick in some areas. I really hate painting gold...

 

Guardian, thanks man, it's a few layers of really watered down caledor sky over a black primer. Think I'm going to do ice blue highlights and then mix in a bit of green for extreme highlights, so it looks kinda turquoise. Should be interesting to see how that turns out!

The Sorceror is still a WIP, started on another fella though. He's still very WIP too, going to be adding a sort of half cape and he'll be holding the DV DA chaplain helmet in his hand. If anyone can see there's a DA chaplain mace head on the ground beneath/behind him as well.

Thanks mate. Aren't you in Michigan btw? Should get a game one day.

 

Haven't made much progress on this guy with work and summer classes but I'll start the cloak thing soon. Probably finish the sorcerer after that and move on to some vehicles that have been bathing in liquid paint remover for like... a year. More to come soon!

Think I finished his half-cape thing. Turned out well. Just have to wait for the GS and oil to dry on it and I'll prime it, but that probably won't happen for a few days at least. Anyone have any idea how long sunflower oil takes to dry? Last time I didn't let it dry fully and it cracked the paint a bit. Anyway couple pictures, nothing too big or fab but C&C if you want.

Finished the Sorceror, for now. Not sure I like how his blade thing turned out. Started with white and did repeat washes and more white, turned out well on the plague marines and his flames but the blade pretty meh. Might go back and just do some blending on it instead. His turquoise highlights didn't show up too well in the pictures either but they're pretty subtle which I like. Anyway C&C if you don't mind. Will be basecoating the dark apostle next.

Need opinions. For a dark apostle/dark chaplain, head A or head B?

 

Head A

I guess I've been really influenced by the dark apostle model and just think he should have no helmet. teehee.gif He's used to inspire and be charismatic, when ushering cultists to their death lol, what better way to show that then through his facial features.

BUT that's my personal Preference tongue.png!

Head: A
