Brother Ambroz Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks guys. Us traitors don't seem to get much love in the PCA forums. :) Anyway, finished my next one. His name is Zaraknyel, formerly one of the Fallen-now the warband's sorceror. He had his robe repainted to show his new alliegance, while keeping his armor (what little is showing) the same. What do you think? Oh and I think I finally figured out a decent way to do the lightning! http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/112.jpg And now for a group shot of everybody so far. http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/114.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Nice kill team :P Where did you used to get sorcerers sword? Chaos Warriors from FB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks Ven and yup! It's from the Warriors of Chaos Regiment box. Edit: By the way, when are we going to see more of your force?? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Ambroz Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well get that thing fixed! :huh: Yours are very nice as well. Next will be the pyro brothers, two mutated CSMs with a affinity for melta-fire. I also want to make a large hulking sort of guy with a shield and hammer or axe. Not sure what weapon to use though. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Thanks :P About shield-guy. What about power mace? This weapon seems to be not often to use in the conversion. Well-stylized mace can kick some ass :huh: and be 'count as' power fist (or thunder hammer) or power wpn at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Adding another picture. Still very WIP, need to finish his wings, add some lightning and a few more washes. He's coming along pretty well though. http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/001.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 May I have another shots? So, what I see: this miniature is more accurate (mean painting), than the guy with gigantic chain-sword. But, I think, armor asks for more highlights. I like the idea, that melta has its own golden corners. It makes melta look master-crafted <_< So, what's next?

Brother Ambroz Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Here's a few more. He's finished I think. Next will be I think the shield and mace guy. I found a pretty cool mace in the Chaos Knights box I think I'll use. After that this melta guy's twin. Think I'll use the same head but different arms and poses. They're not actual brothers but in my fluff they went through the same thing that turned them into what they are today. Anyways here's a few pics for you Ven. I like the way the melta turned out as well, wasn't very difficult to do either. Edit: Oh and the blue isn't as bright as it looks in any of these photos, even the earlier ones.

MarcAwsome Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 How did you get that dark shiny glossy effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 That's Necron Abyss for you man. You should try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 So, what can I say additional now: Try wash red parts of the wings and icon on the shoulder pad with baal red. Washing will create shadows. Then you can highlight the top of the wings, if you wish. Also, as the next step of improving your bone-painting-kung-fu, try highlight edges of the bones with bleached bone :devil: And, a bit more accuracy: devlan mud overlap the armor on the miniature. Anyway, I'm waiting for the next guy and tracking this topic ^_^ DV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Few more pictures. I'll post more when I'm done. Just have the winged backpack to finish up now, should be done tommorow if I don't get too sidetracked.... Not sure how I like this chestpiece with him but it's already glued on sooo.... -_- His shield and mace were actually really fun to paint I thought. Anyways here he is. http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/d2.jpg http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/d1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Nice conversion -_- So, skull on the shield looks better, than the horns on the helmet. How about group-shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Talon Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Looks kick ass, really nice conversion is the shields from warrior of chaos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Nope. Shield and mace are from the Knights of chaos brother and thank you. I'll post another group shot when I'm done Ven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 So for one of the guys I'm working on I want to make him look a bit bigger without actual truescale. Thought of using termi shoulders but I thought that'd be too bulky. So instead I tested out using WHF chaos knights shoulders with some GS added. You think it works? I think if it was painted it wouldn't look too bad. http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/002-1.jpg http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/001-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 great choice of torso man :huh: i love the zerker sprues, minus the hands, cuz they're just too big in comparison to the other marine sprues. those fantasy pads work very well with the mutated arms imho, but you should remove the excess green stuff on the edges of the pads and it looks like there are some remains of the sprue still on them. your GS looks a little yellow, was it on purpose to make it more sticky and softer? if not you should add more blue next time.

DarkVen Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 It looks like pre-heresy style to me. That's interesting ;) you may add some leather stripes from GS, if you wish - it'll be look better, i think. Also nice to see you're back :( soon I will too :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Aye, it's yellow-just using it as a test that's why I didn't mix it. I'm not actually going to use this mini I just wanted to test out the idea of fantasy shoulderpads. The actual guy in question will be wielding two axes and I've ordered some chains to link the axes to his arms. I'm borrowing an idea from Usiel for this next guy as well (for those of you that looked at his minis it's the horn that he converted into a head). I'm kinda at a loss as to what to use as a chest for this guy though (he'll have Mk V legs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Little update. Progress so far on this guy. Borrowed this idea from Usiel. Had a little trouble with the lightning this time, getting my white paint thinned out enough. I'll probably end up redoing it. http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/002-2.jpg http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/001-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Another little WIP update here. Redid the lightning and I'm satisfied with it so far. This is my first foray into using chains so I didn't quite capture the movement of the mini with the chains but it'll work for now, until I get better with the chains. Decided to go with gold for the weapon as nothing else seemed to really fit with my skill at painting and this guy is a beserker. Here's a few pictures. C&C welcome. http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/002-3.jpg http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/Garvi_Loken/001-3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 This last guy looks nice. I would say, that you can highlight corners of the lightnings with skull white. But his pose is static, I think. Maybe repose his hands? Where did you got gauntlets from? Chaos Knights from FB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
