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

[Thousand Eyes]

He looks like he is coming together well already. You put a level of effort into your minis that puts me to shame. I shall have try harder.

 

Having only just found your thread I have 28 unread pages so far to keep me going though, looking forward to it.

[DuskRaider]

I'm really itching for my Lorenzen Death Guard fix.

[Lorenzen]

Hah, there will be more DG soon honest..

 

 

how about a pic of some of my DG and House Makabius stuff next to Paul Rudge's (the other half of Team DG) for now?

[Marshal Rohr]

It's insane you're friends with the FW team. You are probably the luckiest forum member we've got. :D

[Lorenzen]

Nah i think ADB and a few others beat me out ;) I'm just glad that i can get regular heresy games with like minded people, jobs aside they're hobbyists like the rest of us.

 

Ill shut up and get back to pictures soon i promise! :p

[DuskRaider]

Well... that picture IS pretty awesome... I suppose it will do. We are all eagerly awaiting an update, though.

[Brother Heinrich]

Jealous that you get to play on such beautiful tables with such talented folks. Never leave us Lorenzen-senpai!

[Lorenzen]

They'd have to drag me kicking and screaming from B&C and astartes..

 

Right minor DG update to prove that work is still going on..

 

 

the arms on the leviathan are blutacked in place whilst he awaits magnets.. he'll be magnetized at the elbow and wrists so that i can have every load out including dual choppy and dual grindy fists.. really though its all about the giant grav guns.. There is also an atropos being built for house makabius and another spartan which will be dedicated to the grave wardens finally (yay for built in tracks!)

[SalvationOfReason]

Wow, that Leviathan Dread really is gigantic! 
The name is fact!

[Lorenzen]

Yeah the Leviathan is huge and generally an awesome model and speaking of which i've done a bit of work on mine.. modified my DG recipe so that its a little less annoying and am pretty happy with the result so far.

 

[Marshal Rohr]

The new recipe looks great. Do I detect the new FW paints?

[Olis]

I notice the shading at the mid-armour crease, brother. Seems to be in vogue. ;)

[Kizzdougs]

The Leviathan looks awesome, dude! The new scheme looks like it works really well too :tu:

[Lorenzen]

Nah no fw paints, swapped out the oil wash for a mix of klear, sepia and agrax earthshade as the oil was giving me mixed results lately.. with a little tweaking i reckon this will be more consistant & grant me quicker turnover on models

 

Yeah the gradient on the chest is quite subtle in comparison to most.. but it adds a bit of interest to a large flat area.. did the same thing on the fist contemptor. As airbrushes get more popular youll start to see an increase in that style for vehicles

[Marshal Rohr]

If you don't mind could you explain the new process? I use the burnt umber oil wash on my fists and if you've found a way to make the result more consistent I'd love to hear it!

[Brother Heinrich]

Damn dude that's gorgeous and it's not even half finished yet.

[DuskRaider]

Man, Lorenzen... That's a great start and I can't tell you how happy I am to see you back to the XIVth.

[Lorenzen]

The replacement wash is pretty simple.. its rougjly even parts sepia and agrax HEAVILY thinned with the fw klear you want to wash it onto the panels and soak up any excess if it starts to pool.

[Marshal Rohr]

As always, a big thank you, brother! I'll have to give it a test on a spare marine I've got laying around. 

[Midnightmare]

Your Vulkan is sublime mate! Massive kudos

 

This new big guy is awesome so far even so early doors B)

[Thousand Eyes]

Well if I didn't want a Leviathan before hand then I do now, well more so anyway. Great work man.

[Lorenzen]

Bit more work on the Leviathan.. mainly getting the base for the metals down and grubbying him up a little more.

 

[Marshal Rohr]

I take it you use a brush for your metallics right? or do you do a little of both where it is applicable?

[Lorenzen]

If i can get away with using an airbrush i will for broad areas so the inside of the chassis behind the arms for example was airbrushed (arms come off) and a lot of the back.. but bits like the arms and the joints for the legs were done with a regular brush

[Marshal Rohr]

Thanks for the reply, brother. Im looking into getting into airbrushing, so I thought I'd pick your brain ;) .
