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

[ninjasuperspy]

Loving the weathering on that Sicaran. I want to buy one of those but I'm holding back because I'm not playing HH and I've got more than 30 marines & a couple of vehicles on my bench already.

[Lorenzen]

Its a shame that you are holding back on getting one, its a great kit and awesome in game. mines done me proud in both the games its been involved in, though i'm considering changing to using lascannon sponsons rather than heavy bolters (not that either is attatched yet)

 

anyhoo very small update today.. been working on something for my terminators..

 

 

modelled after the "pickelhaube" helmets im scattering throughout the army.. some will have the spike, others wont, but i'm happy with the result as it is quintisentially death guard.

[stepper]

This is truly inspiring work, can't wait for more ^^

 

Cheers,

Stepper

I'm so thrilled with how many quality artists are doing heresy era armies and your death guard are going to be so cool to follow along with Cpt Sempers EC! Your death shroud is very well done and I think you've found the perfect olive green for them and the weathering is not over done yet convincing at this scale.

[Lorenzen]

thanks guys!

 

couldn't help myself, got the brushes out!

 

 

i'm going to be replicating the head and doing some alternate versions with extra breathing equipment too.. exentually planning on working up to a fully customized heavy chemical flamer squad as the reaping makes them a troops choice

[Brother Heinrich]

Loving the dude Lorenzen, my only gripe, and it's nothing to do with your work, is the size of the freaking AC. It just looks horrendously cumbersome and ridiculous. Other than that though the model looks great, really can't wait to see the Sicarian finished.

[NightHunters]

Emperor you paint fast!

 

Great work again, but have to agree with Heinrich in part, although feel it may be the positioning?

[Reaver]

Awesome looking force developing here!

Just signed up at Loyalty and Treachery and am looking forward to trying out your painting recipe as I got some Mk3 marines on their way in the mail. Mine are going to be based around the loyalist Istvaan III survivors and are going to be appropriately scarred and damaged.

 

Do you use the same recipe on your tanks? Or is it altered at all?

[Lorenzen]

I use the same paints but give them more of a preshaded look by airbrushing the grey into the recesses to give the pannels a bit of interest.

[Brother Pheidias]

Looks great, really love all your work.

 

Quick question, completely unrelated to anything: Are the Alchem-launchers on the Deathshroud molded to the forearms?

 

[Lorenzen]

Yeah the chem flamers are part of the arm, as is the "inner" shoulderpad.

[Jackofalltrades]

Can you direct me to where you found the info about those helmets? I'm not sure I like the spike, but I really like the eyes and it has a definite mkIII look to it.

[Lorenzen]

The spiked helm has been part of the death guard imagery since way way back.

I think for future models ill probably make the spike a little thinner.. as i said though, ill be playing about with the design as i go and hopefully refining it along the way.

[Brother Pheidias]

Thanks for the reply. I asked because I'm considering butchering some Deathshroud into Imperial Fists ;)

[Durfast Spiritwolf]

Good progress :)

[disease]

Still my favourite thread on b+c

 

Hope you return to this again!

[Forté]

Thank you for highlighting this thread disease. Got that tabard tutorial bookmarked.

[Lorenzen]

Hey all.. been a while since this topic got an update.. but i've been slowly working on something whilst focusing on the minotaurs..

 

 

Terminator version of Kael and a cataphractii command squad to go with him (theyll be getting a mk2b to ride about in soon).. theres still a lot of work that needs to be done to them to make the arms look like they belong.. Kael is very wip atm, hes going to get some spikes on his right pad and a lot of definition needs to be done to his cloak.. needs a mohawk etc.

 

oh and for those who dont look in my other thread..

Is the banner made from a used tin can? Thats brilliant.

[Xavier Targhost]

Awesome work on them Lovely and gorgeus terminators there mate!
And is it hard to get rid of them cannons and replace em with twinlinked bolters like you have? realy nice convesions on the arms by the look of it now  Love the terminators and whant them but dont have the DG myself..

 

Btw that face on Calas Thypon is Amazing! the Eye is perfect!

[Lorenzen]

Most of the arms are cut off at the elbow and have cataphractii forearms in their place, a few are carved into shape from the launcher arms and will be resculpted to have the correct details..

 

The banner is a bit of metal sheet, it will have some detail sculpted onto it before long.. Edgar Skomorowski suggested it to me as an option.

[Dosjetka]

I saw that Command Squad on Facebook earlier on today and loved it. Great stuff, Lorenzen :tu:

[Marshal Rohr]

Kael is absolutely fantastic. The Death Guard terminator sets have so far been the most characterful of the releases, and really fill the role of even the bog standard Cataphractii.

 

 

If you're willing to take some small bits of contstructive criticism from a pleb such as myself ( :D ) the lightning claw and blaster combo would look better if he was posed like the chain fist guy. The length of the claws 'widen' the model and the leg pose exacerbates the issue. Maybe curling the claws inward and twisting the fist like he's performing a bicep curl would work with a head turned towards the claw.

 

Again, just my two cents. I'd never presume to instruct the master :D

[Chaeron]

Looks superb - absolutely wow!

[Lorenzen]

More work done on Typhon now.. still a long ways off finished, but im hoping to get him sorted for the weekender seeing as theres now a painting competition there and i still have nothing to my name..
