Doomed Dice Thrower Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Finished this terrin piece for my Iron Warriors the other day. It's a bit sorcery-heavy for the demonic engineers, but I just had to try the floating chain-trick. In hindsight, I might have tried to apply the legion-typical hazardstripes to the girders, but that might have become too colorful for the overall impression.Enjoy and commenthttp://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/DoomedDiceThrower/Games%20Workshop/Chaos%20Floating%20Skull%20Rock/SNC00894.jpghttp://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/DoomedDiceThrower/Games%20Workshop/Chaos%20Floating%20Skull%20Rock/SNC00887.jpghttp://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/DoomedDiceThrower/Games%20Workshop/Chaos%20Floating%20Skull%20Rock/SNC00892.jpghttp://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/DoomedDiceThrower/Games%20Workshop/Chaos%20Floating%20Skull%20Rock/SNC00895.jpghttp://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/DoomedDiceThrower/Games%20Workshop/Chaos%20Floating%20Skull%20Rock/SNC00893.jpghttp://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/DoomedDiceThrower/Games%20Workshop/Chaos%20Floating%20Skull%20Rock/SNC00901.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azekai Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Wickedly cool. I would love to see more chaotic terrain on here.Is it very delicate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Glued the chains straight?I'm betting on magnets. Magnet sorcery. With a thread title like this, clicking was a must. I'm glad I did. I don't care much for the color- it looks a touch too pink, maybe. It really clashes with the gunmetal IW on dark gray bases. But, well, it's a floating skull rock. You can get away with a lot when you have a floating skull rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 "Pink? Pink? Well what's wrong with Pink? Seems you've gotta pink kink in your think." But yes, "You can get away with a lot when you have a floating skull rock." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Sweet Emperor! This is awesome... How did you do that? I'm betting on glue covered chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Colour me inspired! Excellent work. Must do something similar! But what...? A corrupted angelic statue...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Dice Thrower Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks everyone for the kind comments!And yes, the chains are glued straight. It's pretty delicate, therefor it shall be designated as impassable terrain, so no models on top of it ever! Any chance of a tutorial? I hope I'm allowed to link this, it's a WIP thread I made on another site.http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?367364-Chaos-Floating-Skull-Rock-WIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I wonder...if you increased the number of chains, would it have enough strength for a mini or two to stand on top of? Or would it become so crowded with chains that another method would be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Dice Thrower Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I wonder...if you increased the number of chains, would it have enough strength for a mini or two to stand on top of? Or would it become so crowded with chains that another method would be better? I doubt it. It really needs just a bit of sideways-momentum to break the chains. You could totally put some models on it, but you'd still have to be careful. The current model also carries a handful plastic models, but it's swaying a bit. Plus I prefer for my particular model to look 'floatier' with not as many chains obscuring the empty space below, but that's not to say that many chains would look bad. I think for stability one should try to go with obscured wires. Like, if you let chains hang in pairs, side to side, then maybe one could cover up a sturdy wire inbetween.
