Kierdale Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I also love those sickles you gave him, and it's great to see someone doing the Scythes of the Emperor. Oh the nostalgia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Blank Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I like the conversion, but you might think about replacing the scythe blades with Tyranid claws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Test model done for my Scouts, will take better pictures in the day time (lighting wasn't good as it's night atm). http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/cornelias/SOTE/Testscout.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Looking good, Cornelias. The Sickle's look awesome, great idea. Keep up the good work, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Nice basing! How did you do that? Pretty easy actually, some mixed slate from the GW basing kit, painted brown, a black wash, few drybrushes of lighter browns and a final drybrush of bleached bone for the lighter shade, then just a couple of sprinklings of scorched grass :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 As promised a better shot of my Test scout. Not entirely happy with it atm, after years of painting Chaos models i have a bad habit of painting dark and dirty especially on metallics. Also need to get my yellow thinner with better highlights. Pretty happy with the freehand chapter symbol (atleast the shape), think i'll need to dig out some good yellow tutorials..... http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/cornelias/SOTE/Newtestscout.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/cornelias/SOTE/Freehandchaptersymbol.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 After some great feedback from you guys i went back to the drawing board with my Shrike counts as and here are the results...... http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/cornelias/SOTE/NewShrike.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/cornelias/SOTE/NewShrikeLeft.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/cornelias/SOTE/NewShrikeright.jpg much happier now, obviously i have still to add his jump pack which will be painted separately.

The Yak Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Looking good Cornelias. The scout looks great. Love the classic hair do on him. Its a tough life being a scout you get picked to join the astartes, they pump you full of steroids then send you right into the womb of a Tyranid Hiveship. Cheers Boss! The Classic scheme looks superb on the model. I like your Shrike model too and he does look more Dynamic with your new alterations. Keep up the good work -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_ Logan Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Love the freehand work on the scout! i've been puzzling out how to do the shoulder pads on mine, currently wrestling with decals. Your bases are excellent too. Like the pose on the Shrike too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Love the freehand work on the scout! i've been puzzling out how to do the shoulder pads on mine, currently wrestling with decals. Your bases are excellent too. Like the pose on the Shrike too. The Freehand was actually fairly easy once i planned it out i'll throw together a tutorial later tonight, i usually struggle with freehand myself and always done my best to avoid it in the past by using decals or in the case of my Black Legion, proper shoulder pads from GW. Looking forward to more updates from your own SOTE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 As promised here is a small tutorial ( wonder if it's worth writing an actual guide for the tutorial section) on how to freehand the Scythes of the Emperor Chapter badge.... The pad is painted black and shaded/highlighted normally, for the chapter badge a base coat of ceramite white, then filled in using a first layer of yriel yellow, second layer of flashgitz yellow and a final highlight of praxeti white. STEP 1: Start by painting a crescent moon shape as shown below. STEP 2: Next paint two straight line in a cross, the key to getting them even is making sure the triangle at the top section has equal angles and both lines are straight. STEP 3: Paint 2 triangle sections and a black strip exactly as i have highlighted below and it should end up looking like the fourth frame in my example. STEP 4: Finally add a couple of small curved sections at the bottom of your shafts and bob's your uncle! http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/cornelias/SOTE/ChapterBadgetutorial2.jpg hope that helps.
