Castiel Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Boooooooo... You know you're not so far away that he can't come up there and stomp your Nocturean head... Just kidding mate... I'm very much chuffed you'd even consider me in the same breath as Barabbas! Anyway, I have a similar dilemma... I've struggled with my vote, because I really love Heathen's work overall, and his commitment to the Heresy-era way of life is inspiring... But I've seen BrotherCaptainArkhan's work up close, and it's gorgeous! But I must decide... A vote for BrotherCaptainArkhan! Ain't no soft southerner scares me! :P Seriously though, you only lost out by a hair. Great work man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Not as great as some here but I figure I might as well post one of my conversions: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/Imperial%20Fists/038_zps875ad534.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/Imperial%20Fists/039_zpsd2a044c2.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/Imperial%20Fists/040_zpsd1d309f7.jpg Mostly a bits bash with some GS work added on.

AndrewChristlieb Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I would vote for One-eye's "Oberon". It's a really nice clean look that's not too over done. An added bonus is the excellent paint (great blending ) and being as this is the "Hall of Honor" I think paint should matter . To everyone else, great work! and thanks for all the inspiration! Oh my ! Never ever miss a slight chance for some Greyall awesomeness ! Oberon, Lord-captain of the first company - Phoenix Knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Gotta say, although there are some absolutely amazing models here, I think the simple elegance of Barabbas Sogalon's character is the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMan Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ill throw in a vote for One-Eye's Captain, his Phoenix Knights are brilliant, and he'd make for an awesome drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Oh, so still going then? Alrighty. If bikes are allowed, I submit this old gem: NOT ELIGIBLE FOR VOTING, but I don't wanna take it down now :lol: If bikes are out, then this guy. I made him a loooong time ago, and is the most extensive conversion I've done to date. One of the reasons I avoid greenstuff like the plague now, actually Yes, it's a Librarian. I was young and misguided in those days. I never did come up with a name for that Chapter, which is one of the reasons I abandoned it. I was quite proud of the Mobius Snake symbol, though. His whole right hand, the cable on the right arm, the hood, the mask over his face, the scales on the skull, and the thumb on his nina pose hand are greenstuff. The sword is from an old metal High Elf, I believe. EDIT- Literally 1 minute late. You posted while I was posting. It still counts, so far as Im concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Critique time! :) The crest is at a slightly wonky angle. The dreadlocks look...um...I'm just gonna go with 'not good' rather than the first thing that comes to mind :teehee: The design is delicious! And buku (booku? bookoo?) points for making the chains look so solid, with even a little bit of wiggle in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I hate drawing dreadlocks, lol. And Fire, the posting of Delvarus marked the deadline...I warned about that, mate Pretty great chaps, either of them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 C'mon man, I was posting it as you posted. I even got the little "1 new post as you post" message thingy. Cut a guy a break, seeing as I (probably) won't win anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemisor Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 great as usual, love the wrecking ball ( don't start singing) the dreads I think would look better if they were drawn more like cabling/ metal hosing......know what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Aye, really not my strong point. Still, they do look like dreadlocks :p Ok, Fire. Then choose one of them as entry, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I've gone from 45 to 10, but honestly can't go any lower. Might take as many weeks or even double, but I'll draw these guys. Here's the rundown - winner saved for last :) First, the Champion by popular choice: One-Eye When I said colours wouldn't count, this was why. One-Eye's CM is one of the most appealing 40K figures I've ever seen, and if this was a painting contest, it'd easily win. As a conversion, it's pretty damn awesome as well, and would've made my top 10 even if you hadn't voted for it. And that weapon... Now here are the other 9 (no particular order except for the champion): KrauScientist Kraut is a master of all things Khorne, and I can waddle around his blog for a long time before he stops inspiring me. Sure, we've all seen Khorne Marines, Terminators, Lords, etc. We've just never seen them this faithful to the Blood God's true spirit and what a blood-knight Marine should look like. Kurgan the Lurker This is simply delicious. And the fact that Kurgan managed to make a Gargoyle-headed Chaplain of an oldie model look not just plausible but modern and impressive is tremendous. Also, major, major points for originality. Poom My reaction to this guy was "What? World Eaters didn't have Chapla...oh, sure they had, and they looked like this so that's why everyone followed them". To me there's nothing better about a conversion than sense. The more sense it makes, the more of an Eureka moment it provokes, the better. This one matches leadership with bloodthirst masterfully. Ageis Nobility is hard to achieve when you scream "Blood" whenever your mom asks you what you want for breakfast/lunch/dinner. And yet, even with the chains, the unkempt hair and - oh, right, the dual chain-knuckledusters - Ageis' fellow is kingly. Broken, but kingly. As I said, that's very, very hard to achieve. Noctus Cornix I honestly can't think of this guy as a character. Noctus has managed to personify Chaotic corruption in the 41st Millenium. If there's anything wrong about this guy, it's that his second job is being Astartes laxative. Brother Captain Arkhan This is a work of love...Really, if it had any more details, you'd see the hair in the Captain's nostrils. This is a knight of the Astartes, down to every last bit. Disease I can only imagine how long it took to make such a perfectly Nurglish character. And I will, when the time comes to draw him...The details are astonishing, and the overall design, flawless. It's like Disease came up with a mathematical formula for mixing Nurglish and Astartes elements - then he took it further. Brother Heinrich Not all Night Lords are lowlives like ADB's. Of those, roughly 99% wish they looked like this. The others are either the guy himself or dead. Heinrich has not only stayed true to the Night Lords' spirit, he's redefined it, I think, showing us their potential. And the Winner... Barabbas Sogalon He doesn't just look awesome. He looks every bit like a Unification Veteran, and with an amazing simplicity. I really don't know what to say more, this is one of the most imposing and majestic 40K minis I've ever laid my eyes upon. Congrats, Barabbas. You get an A3 battle scene. And now, a short word of both thanks and apologies for those I wished I could've included: Heathens, The Chaplain, Athrawes, Ashmantle, Fire Golem, Mr. Bear, BCK, Kizzdougs, Sockwithaticket, Grotsmasha, and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone.... FInally, a great big thanks for all of those who entered and followed the Contest. You've really honoured me, I hope I can do justice to all these amazing minis. Cheers, all. Keep followin, brothers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Oh well. I thought I had a shot when you liked my chaplain, but I begrudge the winners nothing. Congrats to all the winners and I cannot wait to see more of your peerless work, Greyall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Heinrich Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Wow! Thank you for the the kind words Greyall, I'm humbled to have old Hashec chosen to represent the sons of the Sunless World. Cheers to all the competitors and congrats to One-Eye on winning the popular vote! (would've had mine as well if I wasn't working). It's great individuals like you Greyall that make me love this community above all others. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
