lionofjudah Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Had not seen this army before mr runner... Fantastic!! Love the power and force weapons! The glow in the librarians hand and the pale skin on Vorek are especially inspiring. Hope that your hobby time is fruitful:)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandMagnus Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 First time I comment on your thread by I have been following it, these are some of the best (if not THE best) flesh eaters Ive seen. The conversions, armour mixing, paintjob and all around character of the models is inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks very much Anaziel, means a lot coming from a person such as yourself. Got to say that Chaplain Desmodus' daddy Flesh Eaters and Chaplain Hiltraud's bad boys rate above mine though! Liking where you are going with your Angels Sanguine, looking forward to seeing them progress to a full army. Have you checked out OwlandMoonGuy's AS? They are pre-'helmet' fluff but they are excellent and really worth looking at :) OwlandMoonGuy 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 ^^ your not the only one, added to the fact I am confuse myself and also confuse others easily. One of my Tac marines from the previous page, and one of my Black Legion Chosen (with the meltagun) - they both have a Dorms_fist pattern curved combat knife Gym training?

Flint13 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Heh, full frontal snogging a power armored vampire does not an attractive proposition make. I'm sure there's also a fang pun I could work in there, but I didn't :D He looks baller! Can't wait to see him painted up. His chainsword does look an itty bit stock though... kinda threw me a bit.

Midnightmare Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hey thanks Flint, you see why I didn't go that way....! Just naaaaasty! Chainsword and arm where done years ago, don't worry it will be fine once done. Maybe. Once covered in hazard stripes and guts at least. Not a fan of uber bling y'see :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Sensei Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Hmmm, firstly my apologies for my hardly understandable English. You have a splendid army, ful of ideas and it reminds me of the astonishing work Frater Desmodius did, some times ago. But IMHO, you fell into excess on some minis and its a frequent mistake around some "bloody" or "gothic" styles. For example, your golden champion with an axe is way perfect but the cloak is a mistake, it overcharges the mini in a rather rococco way. Imagine, i dunno... Say the Joker. He is a friggin bad guy ! Well, he is more scarry as a nurse than a guy with a cloak of skulls if you see what I mean. In miniature painting, and in fact in all storytellings (a good miniature tells a story), the strongest effects come from contrasts. Contrasts in shades, forms and of course contrasts in fluff depiction. Here you've got an ultra psycho bloodthirsty loyalist chapter and its a strong and excellent contradiction. This can be epitomised (not sure of that word) by the way miniatures describes that fact, depicting a straight uniform unit and clean markings followed by a Rhino with empaled civilians. A man in impeccable war-suit with a drop of blood leaking from his mouth. Khorne Berserkers butchering a school is war, a loyalist chapter doing the same for some dark reason is shocking atrocity. Hmmm you have seen many pictures of young starving boys, I guess, its sad be we all grew accustomed to this. Just add a "bird" and you've got a 1994 Pullitzer price by Carter.

Midnightmare Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) @ Dorns_fist - my feelings on leg day are two fold; I hate that feeling of nearly passing out as the blood runs from your head yet I love, to quote Chazz Michael Michaels, the "sweet burrrrn" :D as to what is next, I am going to play aagainst my brothers Orks tonight and decide which looks sadder - the Death Co or the Stormraven! After that the Jaws of Doom, cuz every army needs its troops. If you want to see the rest of the Death Co, have a look waaaaaay back at page 3 of this very log. Yes, I really am that slow :( @ Dark Sensei - I totally see where you are coming from; most of my grunt marines are in standard imperial armour, few chaos bits used. Not too much in the way of bling either actually! Valek however, is something different. Astartes are big, he stands bigger. Flesh Eaters are angry, borderline (!) psychos. He has the angriest face in 40k. They have fangs, his are as large as poss without being comedy. And they have a penchant for collecting skulls as trophies - he has a cloaks worth! The idea with him was to make him larger than life in every way, and with them taking on a role of Blood Angel flavoured loyalist Night Lord's almost, I feel as though he needs to be terrifying. As in, he us coming for you and you are going to know about it. That is where I was going with him. To heighten the impact, I dropped my Mephiston conversion who sported a similar cloak, with other characters being toned down a few notches when compared to Valek. That said, I am not totally happy with the execution, mainly down to the size of the skulls used as rightly pointed out by Firepower. They are too big. Alas, they are so well glued down I would ruin him to remove them and replace. Notice nowadays I use smaller skulls in keeping with the scale. Even with the new Death Company dude I have went at great pains to make the cultist appear much smaller than the marine. Many thanks for your honest appraisal, and for comparing my FE with the great Desmodus, whom is the prime inspiration for any Flesh Eater. That is a big complement. My own Flesh Eaters divide opinion with BA enthusiasts and rightly so :) It is after all a forum and comment AND critique is what we are here for!! Your English btw is better than mine, and it is my native language :D Edited January 14, 2015 by Midnight Runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have the overwhelming urge to hide under the covers right now. Death Company as they should be really, unrestrained madmen giving into the curse. Midnightmare 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well.... I do have a 24 man strong DC squad so.... Midnightmare 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleshoes Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I can't believe I came late to this party! Very creative armour mixes, characterful poses, a lot of thought put into the Death Company marine and Lugos, and that heavy flamer marine is my favorite of the bunch. Great to see you back and adding to your Eaters. Midnightmare 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sensei Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks Frater for your kind words, I will be more than glad to see more stuff coming. Edited January 15, 2015 by Dark Sensei Midnightmare 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys, glad you like :) It helps keep me motivated!! Played my Bros' orks last night, and baring in mind he is a better player than me, pulled off an 11-9 win So far with the codex,1 win, 1 loss. So.....nothing really new for this update, just a reminder of the remaining Deth Co. reinforcements (from way back on page 4 I think....). They have had a couple of tweak here and there and a few details added. Pretty much ready for colour:- http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh190/MidnightRunner81/e1bdbe0d-323a-4ca8-af5a-d7b2247d883f.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh190/MidnightRunner81/15ec6692-b6a9-480d-bb45-bc1f3e5e4136.jpg @ Dark Sensei, not at all buddy , comment and criticism are what help push us on. Something that may be missed by the builder/painter may be spotted by an outsider looking in, which can only help to improve things : Hopefully, tonight will see undercoat to the Tacs and DC AdamR, Biohazard, deathspectersgt7 and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I do like the beaky guy in the last pic - ace pose! Needs more skulls though! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 No... more skulls for the Golden Throne. Obviously :D I am slightly in love with the Astartes in the first pic on the left. Not only his he holding his pistol hive ganger style, his battle damaged helm looks freakin' sweet! ... can you paint him first? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I can't lie, the eye wound is totally plagiarized for OMG's Angels Sanguine - his idea for representing 'feel no pain'. That DC marine only has 'eye' for you (natch, I crack myself up :D) Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohazard Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The poses on the Assault Squad are great buddy. Looks like you've put a lot of time into them, can't wait to see them painted. Midnightmare 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
