Rhetoricus Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Love the way you've got his weapon slung mate, and I wanna see the cloak you described now. Make it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) i may make the cloak.. but im still undecided, once everything else is done if there still "something" missing ill whack a hefty ass storm cloak on him :) anyway update time, i did a little work on the head and reworked some of the loincloth, i still need to do the right hand side of its billowy edge again (much happier with it now) and maybe run a very fine layer of miliput sludge over it to smooth out any blemishes before priming. http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/303/d/9/praetor3_by_typhion-d5jghac.jpg apparently his pouches have fallen off.. i must look for them. *edit* also http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/303/1/5/seige_by_typhion-d5jgiul.jpg (camera died, so you'll have to make do with a pic from my phone..)

Olis Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Looking very good. Don't forget to drill out the flamer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranicalpuma Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thus thread is seriously the reason I keep putting off doing death guard. Fantastic work brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Looking good. Love the work you've done on the head. Apparently, the Death Guard used to have a thing for heroically posing with their right foot strategically placed on large rocks, eh? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 dont be silly.. its either foot! *points at termie sarge* it is common knowledge that placing ones foot onto something makes things proportionally more epic, its why rock singers will place one foot on a pa system speaker & why i dont travel up escalators on one step :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Mohawks are inexpressibly cool. I this one straight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death given form Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Loving the new character, dude. He reeks of badassery. Kinda upset I've missed the updates, but work has been insane this last week or so. Love, love, LOVE the guy in Mk.IV, not something I expected to see a Death Guard in. Even so, absolutely excellent. The mohawk is something I was going to do (thief! ;) ), and you've pulled it off brilliantly. I also like his pose. It's static, just like the siege breaker's, but I think both work very well. Where is the head from on the new guy? I can't place it. SW head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 cheers mate, tbh i just gave him my own haircut haha. the heads a blood angel one with the bowl cut removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhetoricus Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 All the hardest marines have the warriors 'do' *i'm looking at you Lysander* Personally I have long girly, curly hair. Probably why i've got such a thing for headgear (the other way to write that sentence sounded all kinds of wrong) hehe ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Cracking progress! Really looking forward to seeing how he ends up as the balance of making him stand out as a character but still keep the Death Guard aesthetic will be difficult but I am happy to see that you seem to be dealing with it incredibly well!

Lorenzen Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/304/d/c/kael_armaros_wip_by_typhion-d5jjo4q.jpg bit more work done, for the time being i've given him the name Kael Armaros.. still unsure on the sons of barbarus's naming conventions other than fethed up.. main things of note are the start of the numerals on his knee.. (XIV) ill be making them a little more fancy if i can once theyve cured. added in the other side of the loin cloth now, just waiting for it to cure a bit more so i can smooth it out a little more, then its onto the back of the thing.. also not that you can tell (and probaby never will be able to, but the flamer is drilled with 2 different sized holes to give it a bit more detail out of boredom. @rhetoricus - i used to have long fancy hair but i cut it for work, i may grow it back though as i miss it.. that and i currently look like a thug.

GunShow Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Love it! Thats the same haircut I wear, and the same look I have when I wake up in the morning and discover the barracks coffee pot empty... Can't Wait to see pics of the finished product!

Lorenzen Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 tips.. mix miliput into your greenstuff.. flatten it out to a suitable thickness with a clay shaper on the model.. cut the putty into a square roughly the size you want the letter/numeral to be, use a brand new scalpel blade to cut the stuff with.. lubricate your blade (usually with saliva.. sometimes with cheap waterbased lubricant.. :o ) and work one numeral/letter at a time.. trying to rush things will end with a fingerprint somewhere and having to start again. if you are doing something long and fancy, write it onto the model in pencil first to make sure it fits.. same with painting letters, if you run out 3/4 of the way through a word because you didnt space it properly you'll kick yourself.. and others.

death given form Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Ah, BA head, excellent. Are you using his chainblade as a paragon blade? Also, so far three people in the thread with your Praetor's haircut. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaemonPrinceDargor Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The praetor is looking amazing dude, can't wait to see him painted. On the hair issue, I have the long curly kind. And people wonder why I like the Blood Angels and the Emperor's Children... xD Cheers! :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 yeah its a paragon blade (its seths one & was used as a frost blade in the past) i figure its big & brutal enough & the book makes reference to chain weapon paragon stuff. glad you like em mortis your own stuff is coming together nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/306/7/5/kael_armaros_wip2_by_typhion-d5jr05d.jpg lots more work to be done (and his head is slightly on the piss) but hes got some paint on him so i thought id show it off :lol: im not sure on the eye situation with him.. i may end up giving him his left one back.

death given form Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 He's looking ace, brother, although I do see what you mean about that left eye. Slap some clear red on it and call it lost to the war? Love how the bronze and ornamentation are coming, looks nice and dirty, and the tabard looks very nice as well. Looking forward to the finished product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 He's looking suitably grimy atm. The finished model should look great. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
