Lorenzen Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 That is an stunning gold scheme you have going on for your Custodes! I also have to chime in and say your skills are sublime! I still remember years ago you giving me pointers when I tried Astral Claws and you had your Fire Angels (which are awesome!). I wish I paid better attention because nothing I paint can even hold a light anywhere near your minis. In all sincerity they are pure joy to look upon. Hey if people listened to me maybe my grimy ass painting style would be more popular and i'd do better in competitions.. spread the word! haha. Been working on a few more bits and bobs for the gold dudes.. wanted to see how easily everything translated to the tanks.. plus the basics of the scheme are pretty quick to do so are a productive distraction from actually finishing any of the other stuff... still some contrast to be added to define some of the transitions but the scheme seems to work on larger stuff like the brick of a transport so its all good.. i want to recreate the more vivid red on the infantry which will be fun as i can just lazily airbrush it on over a preshaded base.. so that will require a bit more effort.. might just do it on the sword and board guys (and termies when i get round to building the whole squad) leave the spear guys gold and do the hetaron(?) guard with black pads for a bit of squad designation and to make it all far far easier to finish Ramell, hushrong, Bjorn Firewalker and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Still looking ace! I really like the depth you have for the red. I'd love to see in on a Blood Angel one day... Looking forward to more of the Emperor's Golden Boys painted up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yeah, the red is great, much better than the candied effects seen elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I appreciate that man but you should aim higher than my stuff! consistent Golden Daemon failure isn't a level to aspire to haha! Looking back on my own stuff is quite interesting.. so much stuff that at the time i thought was pretty damn good that nowadays I look at and think "yeesh I used to suck" just gotta keep pushing forwards I guess and try to push our limits. Not to kiss your arse too much, but i fail to see why you don't place! Ive seen some GD winners in the flesh, and while I've only seen yours in pictures, i think you're definitely hitting the mark. You're one of my top 10 favourite hobbyists on this site when i want to ogle amazing models. I wouldn't stress over not winning GD competitions...

Lorenzen Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 I appreciate that man, I have some stuff in the works that will get me finalist next time(this is the real sticking point for me.. but i wont get ranty) something for 40k (and a bit of a return to badab) and some 30k stuff for next years heresy GD if i can finalise my ideas for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 As always, the painting is looking top notch mate, interested to see what entries you're cooking up! I like how the colours are looking, your airbrushing skill continue to improve too - consider me jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 So with all the new 40k Death Guard stuff thats been coming out I figured it would be rude for me to not do a few bits and bobs.. I've got something bigger on the way too but that's not quite ready to show yet DuskRaider, Legio Draconis, Kizzdougs and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Great to see your paint job on the 40k Death Guard. Did you use the new death shroud arms for your Typhus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 One death shroud arm one blightlord(?) arm and some green stuff, i wouldve used 2 shroud arms but the half cloak required resvulpting as it didnt fit.. and halfway through that i felt it didnt suit typhus anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Nice! I like your pose because it is reminiscent of the previous one. I'll probably wait awhile and buy the bits when they are more readily available online. I've seen GuitaRasmus's conversion and liked seeing the pose fixed but seeing Typhus like this is heartwarming...or gut wrenching, whatever Nurglites feel when very happy.

DuskRaider Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Very nice start, it warms my cold Barbarusan heart to see you revisiting the XIVth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vairocanum Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 That Typhus conversion looks brilliant, love the similarities to the previous model! Your DG paint style is awesome as usual, can't wait to see him completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Very nice start, it warms my cold Barbarusan heart to see you revisiting the XIVth. Its not revisiting if you never leave... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Bit more plague on the go.. Despite being disappointed with the kits as a whole i wanted some "late heresy/imperial palace" death guard and figured a small 40k army so that i can judge 8th ed properly (then continue playing 30k lets face it.) wouldn't be too much of a bad idea.

Lorenzen Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Done some more work on the plague marine.. Once he's done and I've got the overall scheme for the army figured out (tentacles, fleshy bits & all the stuff that isn't in the heresy version) I'll be cracking on with the rest of the squads.

Kizzdougs Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Excellent work, dude! The highlighting and shading is really well done :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Looking good. Well done on the weathering. They are some pretty detailed models and I’ve seen a lot of the detail get lost when people weather them but yours are spot-on. I’m stoked that the army translates so well to 30K too. I look forward to seeing a lot of Siege Death Guard turning up in the Heresy community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Love the blue tentacle. I haven't seen that used before and it looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzen Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Been a while... I'll have to look into why a load of the pictures are showing as broken links.. but i've been doing a few bits and pieces here and there between life. messing with a scheme for my orlock gang, pretty happy with the results so far.. few bits that will need tidying up and the guns still need doing but he's on his way to being done, the thousand son is the start of a 4000 point army I need to get done, he's a little further along than the picture but i need to charge my camera so thats all you're getting of him for now! the last picture for those of you who remember back to the days of the fire angels is going to be a reimagining of my captain, heavily converted and possibly a golden demon entry down the line. Got a few other things lined up.. a model that I'm not going to show until its 99% done and the culln leviathan will be in the works before long too.

Soldier of Dorn Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I'll have to look into why a load of the pictures are showing as broken links.. but i've been doing a few bits and pieces here and there between life. It looks like you're linking from Facebook, which doesn't have permalinks for images (I assume) for security reasons. That's probably the reason. Orlock looks good, as does the Fire Angel Captain. The armor on the 1ksons praetor looks a bit off, though. Can't put my finger on why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Better more up to date pic of the praetor, shiny stuff doesn't photograph too well, not sure what it is you think is wrong with the armour.. only thing that is a little odd ATM is the glossiness of the shadows.. but that will change by the time he's finished. base is just me messing about with ideas for desert bases, needs a little more definition, but its super easy to make so i quite like it.

Soldier of Dorn Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Oh yeah, looks far better. Perhaps it was just the photograph. He's coming along quite nicely, and I'm eager to see him complete now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 That Fire Angel Captain looks very promising. It would be great to see you take another stab at Fire Angels. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
