Brother Cambrius Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 This demands more of the forum's attention. I very much agree Darth Potato, as this is outstanding work, especially on the conversion/kitbash front! Sgt. Valdaar looks fantastic! I think the Devastator backpack'd look fantastic on him, or perhaps the Apothecary one perhaps, getting rid of the Apothecary symbols on it. A common backpack just doesn't seem right on him. Keep it up Kronus! Can't wait to see more, especially the Captain model you had in the first post! Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronus Stormbringer Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks for the praise Brothers! Really helps to come back to the hobby after so long away to get some positive feed back on my efforts. I have to say that switching to Windsor & Newton brushes instead of the Citadel ones has really helped me with the finer detailing. For the Decals I simply bought a laser printer off ebay for £20 then designed the icons i wanted and printed them on to clear decal paper be fore applying using Micro Sol & Set.

Oceangrave Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 And here I was, about to ask you how you did the logos on the shoulders for them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Great work! Love the transfers... (eyes the never opened decal paper in the cabinet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronus Stormbringer Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 I think its well worth using the decal paper Ammonius mate, using the Micro Sol/set etc really helps to blend the transfer in with your miniature, I used 4 - 5 coats of the Micro Sol on the decal after it had been set in place to really blend it into the contour of the shoulders. It took me a good few hours to design the icons I wanted and get them at the right size as I wanted something a little different to the ones on here but once I get the full squads completed each mini should have alot of inscriptions and icons on their armour to make them stand out. Im even thinking of doing some as tattoo's on the marine faces :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Looking good, surprised more people haven't commented on this, those decals look really good. Thought they didn't look like decals but thought they were too good to be done by hand (I would have been too jealous). Cheers LM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronus Stormbringer Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Quick update of whats on my desk at the moment, i wasnt happy with the look of the devastator back pack on Sgt. Valdaar so i have some mk III communication backpacks on the way and i'll post pics when complete. In the mean time i'll get on with Sgt. Malkaas who will command my first Tactical squad as well as the rest of my devastator marines and the start of my dreadnought. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h200/kroweuk/IMG_0981.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h200/kroweuk/IMG_0982.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h200/kroweuk/IMG_0983.jpg As usual critique welcomed Kro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronus Stormbringer Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Debating what colour to do the tabard on Malkass, im thinking either a red or white, what you lot think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 These are fantastic, for the tabard I'd go with white. Although you could always do white on the front and red on the back. Or a white pattern/symbol on a red tabard or vice versa. I've not really been much help have I ha!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronus Stormbringer Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 I've not really been much help have I ha!?
