Chronophague Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Next in the series, Empyrean Guard Oblitterator. I like how this guy turned out, pretty close to the image I had in my head, while not at all too far from the GW version. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h289/kronork/CSMoblitterator1-6web.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h289/kronork/CSMoblitterator1-6colorweb.jpg Next up, likely a Empyrean Guard version of either Plague marine or Zerker.

Olis Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Nice, I like the glow emitted from the armour decoration. He looks remarkably... sane. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Very cool, mate. Still, I do find his lack of bulk...disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 @Greyall Conscious decision I'm afraid, my own oblies look more like this guy than the official GW ones. But, you did get me thinking... And I sized down the head in a test version, I'm actually almost of the opinion that it does make it look a bit more imposing, and bulky, suitably so. Not overly bulky like the Gw ones, but I'd almost say it's an improvement. Gotta sleep on it and watch it with fresh eyes. :D Thanks for the comment. :P Bulkier version --> http://jutami.deviantart.com/art/Chaos-spa...d-out-267797475 Also... Kinda didn't quite like the head so I did retake on the head. --> http://jutami.deviantart.com/art/Chaos-spa...color-267795363 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 :D Wow really like this one. Bulk isn't everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 That bulkier version is simply awesome, I like the ragged effect a lot. As for the heads, I can't decide on which I like more. Which means double bonus points. Well done, mate, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I don't think height subtracts from bulk necessarily. I think he's at the lower end of bulkiness that an obliterator or terminator could get away with, but he hasn't crossed the line to my eye. Looks great.

Olgerth Istaarn Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I think he's excellent. I like the proportions, and the pose conveys the whole "slow and purposeful" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snejk Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Looks great! Very inspirational for my own future oblit conversions. (A.L infected with oblit virus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antioch Bethel Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I love it. I always thought Obliterators should be terminator sized and this guy looks seriously tough. I get the impression that he is deadly confident and competent when it comes to using those weapons. Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmitt. Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I have to say, having caught your different Empyrean Guard art threads, I am far more a fan of your tweaked versions than I am the standard citadel miniatures. While the background fluff of Chaos is interesting and dark and twisted, the depiction of them is sometimes...tending to the absurd, and in each instance you've managed to keep or add to the flavour of the units while surgically removing the features which just plain don't work. I particularly like the different themes running through each of the characters - each of them wear flayed skin, their flesh is melding into their armour and weaponry, the armour is warped and the colour scheme is nicely offset by daemonic eyes and witchlights - but each are distinct because of the different emphasis placed on these features. It's a very effective way of unifying such distinct units into a cohesive army. I love how Giger-esque this dude is. The reforming flesh/metal is done more subtly and is more effective as a result; we can see what this guy used to be. The pose is relaxed and confident and imposing as a result. And that colour scheme is fantastic. This is actually how I envision Chaos now. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 One of your best pictures yet, methinks. The addition of a Helm, interestingly, actually adds more character than the GW bare-head look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrofil Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Love it love it love it love it. Gotta model my incoming Obliterators like this. Amazing job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
