Still in the clean up stage and I'm mightly impressed by what the team have managed to achieve. The scene is dolorous an ending chime to the hope of the Great Crusade. I hope I can do it justice. I'll be updating my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lil-Legend-Studio/431463226883489 ...with more pictures (smaller, taken on an Iphone) and keep this page updated with better pics (like the ons above). However you choose to follow this project progress I thank you for the interest. LilLoser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Chronicler Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 beautiful I was thinking of buying this too in the hopes of just keeping this as a remembrance, but Loken in my diorama would be painted white as a reminder of a good past. I can't wait to see this one come together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the damned artificer Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 AHHHH! I haven't gotten mine yet :D Looking forward to seeing how you tackle this mate, I have high expectations ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilloser Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Cheers for the replies guys. I'll reply to them a little later on - just got enough time to upload these and fly out to pick my GF up from work. She won't be happy if I'm late. Will it be our ideals that linger after us, or the terrible violence's we visit upon each other? -Anon http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5288_zps10c6dca9.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5292_zps3716ba30.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5293_zpsa01e20fb.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5296_zpse070cc0f.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5299_zpsb9b3aca0.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5298_zpsd876e410.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5300_zps1b7b09fd.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5303_zpsfb8db9ef.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5302_zps658aec1f.jpg Looking at the photographs I am really surprised by how monochromatic the skin and armour tones are. I intend to add a little warmth to the skin tones and start hightlighing and shading the armour to add more depth. For more piccies check out the blog for extra photo's. http://loserstudio.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/horus-heresy-loken-vs-abaddon-wip.html All the best, Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Chronicler Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 WOW outstanding work~ Now this is what I call some great painting mate! I love Abaddon so far the lighting coming from his suit is just amazing~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eetdestroyer Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Abaddon's head is spectacular (as is the res of the piece so far) I look forward to final result :D \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilloser Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 @ cold winter; thanks man! I'm glad it's getting the feedback it has. @eetdestroyer; cheers man. @the damned atificier; you got it yet? Love to see your take on it. A note on osl; I felt that this would be a huge risk to take at the start of the project but without risk you don't improve and I like working to the principle of never compromising or letting fear get in the way of an idea. I'm using the under lighting as a visual reference to Horus and it also helps that he looks bat :cuss crazy with the red under light. This is foreshadowing e madness that will consume the character. There's also another reason why I've used the red. I want loken and abaddon to be associated with warm and cold colours. Abaddon's features are skewed with rage, transformed by red. For loken I've used blue as an undertone to the skin, representing the cold doctrine of the imperial truth. Once again I have to say this kit is phenomenal. This may very well be the best sculpted miniature I've ever painted. The detail on the face and the little articulations of the models charging at one another is breath taking. Lilloser.

lilloser Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks Batu. It was just one of those things I had to try out. “These fragments I have shored against my ruins” http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/DSCF5320_zps3e1d0764.jpg One more sleep until it's complete! There are a few more pictures on my blog: http://loserstudio.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/honour-rage-loken-and-abaddon-diarama.html of the W.I.P work but otherwise keep your wits about you for the final update tomorrow!

Unknown Chronicler Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It's looking great I'm hoping to get this eventually once I finish a standard army build for my Pre-Heresy Ultramarines, can't wait to see this finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sgt. Steine Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hey this is looking good. These shots are so much better that the pics posted at the FW website. You are making me re-think whether to pic this kit up. I'll be watching... On a side note, can anyone find the passage in the HH series where this scene goes down? It's been so long since I read the first three books... BSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
