Some more progress on the Praetor.

And I built him a base. I was going to go for a similar base to what I used for my test minis (desert/Mars), but decided that even though that would look pretty great ZM themed bases where just a bit more appropriate for a ZM force...

I love what you've done with the scales. They seem to be easy enough to do - but I'm still curious how exactly you did them.... tut pretty please?

Hey bro, I was asked the same question in a private message. Here is what I replied:

 

I use a product called Oyumaru to make the mould and then use greenstuff to make the cast. It's great for adding some extra detail to your minis.

 

Oyumaru is a great product. It's quite cheap and can be reused again and again.

I just did a quick search online and found this tutorial. It matches up pretty well with how I use the product.

The scalemail was moulded from the Tomb Kings, Tomb Guard.

Hope that helps. The tutorial in the link seems to be pretty good :)

 

Well that's a nice Terminator!

Thanks bro, hopefully he turns out even better.

 

Have you tried photographing the miniature on a darker background? A little bit of contrast usually helps.

 

Loving this so far. c:

That's a really good idea. When the mini is finished I'll take some picks with a black or off white background.

 

Good start on the terminator. The little details are ace. Im glad your thinking of giving him a head tattoo, will look ace. The skin tone is great to.

Thanks a lot, mate! I'm getting my hands on the decals this Saturday. Fingers crossed that there is a suitably coloured/sized decal for the 'tattoo'. Glad you like the skin tone. I seem to remember the Alpha Legion being described as 'tanned' in Legion, so that's the look I tried to go for.

 

Man that Terminator is really cool looking. Seriously digging your take on the Alpha Legion Blue & those scales are a really cool detail.

Thanks, dude! Hope you like him when he's finished too :)

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

Just finished my third ETL vow!

I'm planing a small, Terminator heavy, ZM list for him to lead.

 

 

 

Gorgeous, the blue is excellent. Seeing what some people have done with the LE Praetor Tribune makes me regret not picking one up - its like 40 quid on ebay now.

Thanks a lot! He costs AU$70 over here, so not much cheaper direct from GW...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

Really beautiful. I would have expected the weapon arm on a Iron Hand, but since the XX value versatility and diversity I think it fits too. Is that an oversized Power Dagger in his hand?

That is one of the best XX Legion models I've seen so far, painting-wise, and one of my favorite r nditions of the tribune so far.

 

However I do notice a few things that, imho, could have been done slightly better.

 

Thegun should, I think, point the same way he's lookimg. Similarly, without his helmet it seems as though he wouldn't quite be able to control it efficiently. Both can be explained by brain implants and/cortex controller-like devices, but he physically doesn't look like he has anything of the like...

 

Just a small detail, it just seems to detract wlightly from an otherwise perfect composition.

 

+ Edit : Oh, and if that's a dagger, does it mean his name is Crocodile Dundee or something?

Well it had to happen eventually...

 

 

I've started working on Fulgrim. I was considering painting him up for the ETL, but decided not to risk it as I'm going away for a couple of weeks and I really don't want to rush such a beautifully detailed min.

 

As you all know my Emperor's Children are Loyalists, so I'll only use Fulgrim and his Phoenix Guard in pre heresy games or if I'm asked to play on the Traitor side for a campaign day. As such I'll be arming him with Fireblade and he'll be carrying a Legion Vexilla, just to differentiate him from all of the other Fulgrims out there.

 

Just like with the Alpha Legion Praetor I skipped ahead and painted the head first. I wanted to make sure I could do a good job on the face, otherwise I would have tried to come up with a helmet for him.

 

Anyway, here he is, doing his best Ferrus Manus impersonation...

Oh, nice!

Glad you like him :)

 

Probably my favourite tribune conversion so far; love it.

 

How did you achieve that paint scheme?

Thanks a lot, bro! That's high praise. Are you talking about the armour? I painted it the same way that I painted my Alpha Legion test mini. I undercoated the mini with Tamiya Light Metallic Blue spray and applied a coat of Tamiya Clear Green over the top.

 

Supurb Alpha, just a wonderful blue you have there

Thanks a lot, mate!

 

Really beautiful. I would have expected the weapon arm on a Iron Hand, but since the XX value versatility and diversity I think it fits too. Is that an oversized Power Dagger in his hand?

Yeah, I'll be counting the gladius as a power dagger. I felt that the high-tech look of the carapace mounted combi-weapon fitted with the Alpha Legion aesthetic. They're known for using experimental/unreleased wargear.

Hey bro, thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I tried positioning the gun to face the same direction that he is looking, but it looked really unbalanced. I suppose the weapon system could have its own machine spirit or pre programmed targeting parameters. If he has cerebral implants there probably wouldn't be any outwardly visible indicators as the Alpha Legion were experts of cosmetic surgery and would be keen to avoid any physical characteristics that could be used to identify one particular legionary from another.

 

I agree, that's one of my favorite tribunes as well.

 

I need to reread the praetor's rules though, I didn't know he could have two melee weapons and a ranged weapon.

 

Love the scalemail.

Thanks a lot! I'll be counting the gladius as a power dagger, and Alpha Legion characters can take a power dagger in addition to their other weapons. Glad you like the scale mail.

 

Ooooooh, Aaaaaah!

He's simply stunning, and the MIU-linked combi-plas is a great touch.

Thanks bro! I'm pretty happy with how the combi-weapon turned out. It was a bit of challenge to figure out how to represent the combi-weapon without making the mini look cluttered or ridiculous.

 

There really isn't much to say about how cool you've made that guy look! Absolutely love it!!

Thanks a lot, bro! Glad you like how he turned out :)

 

@KotR - it's an Alpha Legion thing. Any character can pick up a Power Dagger.

Kizz, stunning as always. I assume there wasn't a suitable transfer to use as a tattoo on his head?

Thanks, bro! Yeah the decals were all a tiny bit too large, plus I wanted a black tattoo and the decals only come in silver, white, and green.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

At last the Phoenician! Can't wait.

 

I've just bathed my 2016 event praetor as he'll be a siege breaker consul. Time to get back on the painting bandwagon and its always inspirational popping here to get motivated. :)
