Tyrannicide Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 My heart hurts, but my eyes like what they see. Forgive me, Lord Dorn. OMG its Ron Pearlman Swanson! Fixed that for ya.

reckoning Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 My favorite part, besides the hammer's haft and dangling jawbone, is the index finger on his PF pointing to your name. Probably unintentional, but awesome nonetheless. Its like he's saying, "Know who created me? No, not the false emperor you simple minded fool! Look where Im pointing!"

fivepointedstar Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I love it. Its amazing what a few spikes here and there do to increase the baddassery of a suit of armor. The story is inticing. I read some, scrolled back up to envision it, and re read some more. it had me hooked. Well done Greyall.

Son of Carnelian Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Another great piece! Just one piece of constructive criticism: When Rogal Dorn put Graspar in command of the 20-man garrison on the fortress-castle on Samson, he knew the whole of his son’s soul would be put to the task... The rest of the battle, as is easy to deduce, was a massacre. Can you really massacre 20 men? I think of massacre as a huge event with lots of bodies. Certainly more than two dozen. Again, it's a fantastic piece and that's just a single word in an otherwise excellent story.

Again, it's a fantastic piece and that's just a single word in an otherwise excellent story. In a lot of badly written fiction "massacre" is used as a synonym for "slaughter" - and you can slaughter 20 men! And yes, I realise it looks like I'm calling that badly written but I'm not!

Blckbuster Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 yes, you can massacre 20 men, it is the overwhelming totality of the violence that will make it so, not the body count.

Captain Nameless Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 About five people died in the Boston Massacre. Admittedly, not really a massacre. Anyway, why don't we talk about more pleasant things.

Greyall Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yay, my first Tartaros Termie. The story for him was kind of hard to make up, I didn't want him to lose his stoic pose, but why would a mule-stubborn Imperial Fist keep being stoic and haughty while turning to Khorne? Then I remembered Khorne is a god, which does allow for some shortcuts, so the twist was how the Blood God used a liiiiitle sneaky cruelty to make the guy believe he's still on te loyalists' side. Now, aesthetically, I tried to have it look like the Dark Mechanicus want to keep the shock effect against Imperial Armies: they could simply have filled him with Khorne symbols and painted him red, but they've kept/defiled some iconic Imperial elements - I'm kind of proud about the Imperial eagle with a skull nailed to its head *shuckles* Aquilanus, your guy is next, most of the wargear is thought of, but the bionics will be another challenge.Hope it doesn't take long, but I'll probably keep radio silence, since I'm starting a new job. A thousand thanks, mates. BRB Edit: @reckoning: Lol, that wasn't intentional. I thought I'd signed a bit more to the right. His pose is meant to say "Meet your grave" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240161-clever-girl-wink-wink-nudge-nudge/page/86/#findComment-3721730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Here's Aquilanus' character of choice, Captain Hubros of the Steel Wings, an Iron Hands successor. http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/180/6/a/captain_hubros___steel_wings_by_greyall-d7oj3dq.jpg Drawing cyber-marines is one hell of a love-hate relationship, but I'm happy with lefty here. Coming up with a design for the mechanical part of his face was the hardest part, but I think a more masked and less 'metal skull' look fits the 40K mantra better. Cheers, all. Next is the second traitor of the series. I've got about six or so alreay planned.

fivepointedstar Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 love the half helm. the detail you put into the cybernetics are outstanding.

You thought correctly I haven't been able to post a reply for most of the day (blasted mobile devices ), but I've been sneaking a quick peek all day. He's more than I could have hoped for.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah, the half-helmet has this sort of General Grievous look to it, but is still 40K-ish. I like it.

I must admit that I wasn't sure what to think of the face, but the more I look at it, the more it fits Absolutely boss, Greyall! Great job! Indeed! So much so, that I've since taken a look at the mini I was going to use as him for the Steel Wings reboot, and it lacks quite a bit of the menace Greyall has captured (if anything, the mini has too "pretty" for a (grand)son of Ferrus ). To that end, that mini will now be an Assault Sergeant and I'm looking into getting bitz for Hubros based on this artwork. Thanks once again Greyall!

Greyall Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks, guys :) Much as I'm not a fan of Ferrus' folks, I do love drawing them - and they tend to come out great. @Aquilanus: That's all I wanted to hear, mate. You said 'no artificer', so I was afraid I'd gone a bit overboard, glad to see I inspired you. Many, many thanks for that. Next up: what a twist!

Greyall Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Eventually, of course, I've got a score to settle with them Darkies. Will probably be a Fallen, though, since he'll be part of my Traitor series.
