Grimm Blade Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Thanx! I changed the name of the thread rather than having a bunch of threads running at once with my various GK projects. Here is a Nemesis force hammer project I began this morning along with the art that inspired it. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/IronHandsspacemarine.jpg The eye on this side is missing on purpose to better represent the Aquila http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Commissions/Hammer006.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Commissions/Hammer004.jpg Size comparison http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Commissions/Hammer007.jpg Raw haft material and the side with the eye ;) http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Commissions/Hammer005.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Blade Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 I decided to go in my own direction for the haft: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Commissions/Hammer008.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Commissions/Hammer009.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Blade Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 So I decided to continue being distracted from the LR project for now and have magnatized Justicar Thawn and a Psycannon Paladin's bases, I plan on doing this to all of my terminator models. My motivation for this is that I am also going to make Space Hulk bases for each of the models, and as such be able to use the models in both games :D http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Grey%20Knights/Bases003-3.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Grey%20Knights/Bases001-3.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Grey%20Knights/Bases004-3.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Grey%20Knights/Bases002-3.jpg I also carved some chaos runes into Thawn's base using Chaos runes. Thawn's base says "Changer..." at least that is what I intended it to say :P I will paint the runes to be glowing. I will be using blood on the bases as oposed to my initial thoughts of lava. I want to recreate a Khorion IX feel to them :) Knowing that there will be blood lapping at the bases, what color do you think would be good for the "stone" on the bases?

The_Chaplain Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Knowing that there will be blood lapping at the bases, what color do you think would be good for the "stone" on the bases? Maybe try to emulate the stone/chaos mound that you have on the existing base (from the chaos terminator lord box), or bring it up a shade or two? I see far too much grey stone on bases in 40k. Rocks come in brown too darn it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocks come in brown too darn it! I think that I will try and reproduce the colour of GW's chaos lord base. It looks like a brown/bone colour to me. The bases in my post are scratch built, but I think that I will try and make one like GW's as well, thanks for the pointers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Blade Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 More progress on the hammer! http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Commissions/Hammer.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Nice conversions! I don't suppose you have more WIP shots of how you built that hammer? I'm somewhat disappointed with the GK ones, and was thinking of scratching some myself, but didn't know where to start. Seems like you have a good handle on them (no pun intended).

Grimm Blade Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Here is the finished Hammer. I riveted the top and bottom of the hand grip (4 each), I riveted the head of the hammer (don't want it flying off!), I riveted the power cable where it attaches to the hammer, and I riveted the arm mount for the power cable. Pretty riveting eh! ;) The finished piece has three components: - Hammer - Power cable - Arm mount This allows for a greater range of possibilities in regards to how it is mounted. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Commissions/Hammer001.jpg Here are the pices dry fit together: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Commissions/Hammer002.jpg Now I get to send the weapon off to its new home, where it will be smashing a whole lot of new release Daemons!!! :cheers: @ Circus Nurgling: The only WIP shots I have are posted in this thread already, sorry. Not too complcated though really. Plastic tubing for the haft, wire to make the grip. various pieces of plasticard for details, and the base of the head is sprue plastic. I hope that helps! Feel free to ask if you need help with your project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahoo Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Easily one of the best land raider convesrions I've ever seen, unique enough to stand out and look brilliant, not too over the top so that it looks utterly ridiculous, can't wait to see this painted up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 As an addict of 'trim work' and plasticard building, it's great to see others doing such wonderful work. I know the effort can be daunting sometimes, but the end results speak for themselves. So very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
