Captain Engelhardt Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hey everybody, I said I would - and I did it! After seeing the new cover art for Hell's Angels by Neil Robert's I had the urge to turn back to my Emperor's Children and give them some more love (cause that's what they really want :) ). I decided to start with a new model for Fulgrim - bigger, more imposing - basically speaking, more epic. So, without further ado, here we go with the pictures. So, this is him, based upon the Kabuki version. It is pretty obvious which parts are still WIP - the hair, legs and arms need loads more work: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0004.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0005.jpg The sword is made of plasticard, a GK Terminator sword and some High Elf bits for the cross-guard. http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0007.jpg And finally, his cloak, which was made from tissue paper, wood glue and Purity Seal: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0008.jpg And, in all his glory: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0010.jpg Scale shot with line Marine : http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0018.jpg Hope you like him, I'll post more pics when I get more modelling done ;) So long, Capt. E. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 That is very, very impressive - certainly more skill than I could ever have! One query though. I always thought cloven hooves were a Nurgle thing, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yikes! That's quite a scale comparison! At first I thought it might be the deamon prince version of Fulgrim (but then I remembered he has a tail). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Engelhardt Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks guys, those were some pretty fast replies ;) @Paladin: I copied the design of the Kabuki model and the original Fulgrim artworks, and in all of those he is portrayed wearing shoes like this, so I just went with it. @Marshal: That's exactly what I went for, he just need to look too big and overblown, I also realise the wing on his shoulder is way unpractical, but it just looks sweet ;) Here's another scale shot with his Kabuki version and everybody's favourite bad boy: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0015.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew J Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Wow fantastic work. Keep it up! I cant wait to see him completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Stunning. And don't worry about the wing. It's Chaos perfection. I love pictures that make me do a double/triple take, like these. Looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Most people never even make on primarch... I like how dynamic this model is. My only comment would be that the hair looks rather... dreadlock-y, rather than the fine style in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallon Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Cool stuff. What did you use to make the cape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Who would of thought Fulgrim still believed in Father Christmas?!?! Excellent work, screams Fulgrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Who would of thought Fulgrim still believed in Father Christmas?!?! Excellent work, screams Fulgrim. He sees you when you're sleeping, and he knows when you're awake. If that's not creepy I don't know what is. This is fantastic, I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Engelhardt Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Did some more sculpting today, I assume it'll only take one or two more days now to have him done: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0131.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0133.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0134.jpg And his dirty dirty flipside (lots of clean up work and sculpting still to be done :lol: ): http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0135.jpg I also ripped an Apothecary apart that I built for my Alpha Legion project but never used, and turned it into the first member of my 2.0 Phoenix Guard - Fabius Bile, Pre Heresy of course: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0140.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Both looking great! There's some excellent sculpting on Fulgrim. Very detailed. I particularly like the serpent at his waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Engelhardt Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 So, did some more work and came up with this: A few days ago I finished "The reflection crack'd", as any EC fanboy should, and I loved the part of Fulgrim throwing lightning at his enemies without being a warp-twisted maniac. So I changed his hands up a bit and swapped the sword to his left hand. I really think it looks better this way. I also added the leather straps to his right shoulder. http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0148.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0150.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0154.jpg Hope you like it too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Much more plausible pose :blink: Though it still looks a bit like he's leaning back too much. I keep wanting to reach into the screen and pull him forwards before he falls over backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude with a Brush Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Damn cant wait to see this one finished! But how well does wood glue keep that tissue in place? I would be constantly worrying that it would crackle or bend :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherTearz Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 You should really look into casting up your conversions! You could make a mint of a model like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Lovely detail work, he is coming along great. I envy your greenstuff skills :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Engelhardt Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Thanks for the kind words, though I guess this conversion is too fiddly to have it casted... Aaanyway, here he is, finished converting and primed, ready to become painted B) http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0159.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0166.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCI0168.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
