Lorenzen's Abyss: Heresy, Necro & a load of other stuff

[One-eye]

There's always a special feeling with your conversions, something that makes them simple but awesome and recognizable at the same time. I don't know how you achieve that, but continue, it's a pleasure for the eyes ! :D

[Lorenzen]

@death given form: all of the body is from the signals officer that comes with the legion champion model, but yeah its a similarly reinforced "assault" torso to that that kael, the fist guy and the champ are wearing. the head is from the ravenguard command squad.

 

@One-eye: thanks, most of it just comes from trying to get a sense of purpose to their pose.. if i can do it without the use of sculpting, chances are i will and with the vast array of bits and sublte application of a hairdryer, 90% of the resin components will do the job.. the vultures are probably the best example of that, whereas kael is a prime example of the necessity to sculpt pieces.

[NightHunters]

Looks Great!

 

Glad to see his foot is a little bit up on something!

[Heretek]

These models look really great mate! I think the terminators are the best you've done yet.

 

One query:

Where did you buy the Mk 3 and Mk 4 armour?

[Lorenzen]

everything i have bought is from forge world directly, there are a
few bits and bobs that i have made myself also (some mk4 pieces and a
non plagued plague marine head.)

 

i kinda had to put
his foot on something.. 3 of the squad were flat footed, i had to
balance it out.. now with kael its an even 50/50

 

done most of the work on another termie.. apologies for the bad photo, it was taken in a rush.

and i also decided to do something a little different too.

Great to see you expand into other HH projects :)

[Marshal Rohr]

The sergeant is great, brother.

[Blindhamster]

Looking excellent as ever my friend :) 

 

really love the assault squad from a few pages back, I'm very impressed with the coversion of the mk2 legs (something i didn't enjoy doing)

 

Also love the command squad - consider some of those ideas stolen :)

[Lorenzen]

thanks dude, your vanguard were the inspiration behind the work on them (i was lazier than you & just used a hairdryer to repose the legs)

 

i hope to see some more from you (and maybe get a game in soon) your stuff makes me want to improve on my own work like nobody elses. :)

[Lorenzen]

so i decided i needed to push my sculpting and have thusly started on kael 2.0.. im hoping to get this guy done by the weekender (or at least most of him) so i can get some feedback from a few people.

the hip armour is inspired by the legion champions and will be receiving more rivet work once i find a reliable way of producing uber small rivets (the little white bits out of a britta filter aren't working to well when theyre that small.. (about half the size of the ones on his loincloth)

Ye effing gods, man. He looks abso-freaking-lutely menacing. That snarl is terrifying. Will you be giving him a similar weapon to the original Kael? I'm liking the up-armored version of his Mk. IV plate, it has a sense of weight that suits the Death Guard perfectly. Really looking forward to seeing him done.

[Tyrannicide]

Looks twice as good already! Love the snarling expression. 

 

That said, I was a little let-down with his chainsword on the first model. I think you can do better. 

[Lorenzen]

thanks man, i was hoping to get across the artificer armour vibe without the bling, just well made custom armour. he'll be getting his chainblade again, though i want to try & make it from scratch this time if i can (good practise plus i wouldnt have to buy seth again.)

[Chaeron]

Lovely - how did you do the battle damage?

[Lorenzen]

there is a tutorial on page 4 that covers the weathering. :)

[Blindhamster]

as I said on chat, he's looking superb, very impressed with your new rendition of him!

 

and you simply have no choice but to do a tutorial for the tabards good sir

[death given form]

You should probably just do a tutorial for pretty much everything.

[Chaeron]

there is a tutorial on page 4 that covers the weathering.

 

Found - fantastic, thank you.

[Lorenzen]

ill make sure to do a tutorial for the cloth soon.. but for now i have a bit of minor progress.

his mohawk fell off.. but will be replaced with a better one, as a fun bit of pointless trivia.. the combiflamer isnt actually attatched to the model at all, the chain is just draped over the model atm (self supporting strap for the win!)

[deathspectersgt7]

Oh yeah a salty veteran

[death given form]

Liking the chain as a sling. Is the eagle-head power plant a kind of tie in with Garro's eagle cuirass? Regardless, nice job.

[Lorenzen]

Yeah the eagle backpack was a nod to his terran blood.. however i may replace it with a modified mk3 pack instead if i figure out a design i like.

not a massive update.. but then im kinda forced to work slowly due to the curing times and not wanting to stick a thumb print on any detail.. i have idiot hands at times..

 

*edit* added updated picture with full death guard logo rather than just the skull *edit*

Is that the chain from Forge World?

[Dosjetka]

Loving Kael 2.0 :tu: How did you make that combi-flamer? It looks fantastic!

[Lorenzen]

yeah the chains the fw chain.

 

the combiflamer was made using a hand flamer, i cut the pipes shorter. turned the muzzle round & cut off the fuel tank. thats then attatched to a slightly shaved down underside so that it sits flush. think thats about it.
