Ratboy1664 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Greetings and welcome to my W.I.P. of the Flesh Tearers massacre of the local milita in a rage of bloodlust after having wiped out an Ork artillery position. First up is the setting. This is a defensive Imperial position from Forgeworld which I thought would be perfect for a defensive line breach. After reading around I have established that Gaius Point is located in the Fire Wastes part of Armageddon and so I am going for a dry brown rock base covered in sulphur dust. Not only is this realistic but the yellow will set of my dark red Flesh Tearers really well (hopefully!) Now my Flesh Tearer. I feel he is complete bar weathering and battle damage. His pose may look weird but as you will see it works well in the diorama. I don't know how many Flesh Tearers will end up in the final piece but I am sure about where one more will go.

Ratboy1664 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Part 2 Here is one of the militia. He is from a set of casualties from Pig Iron and as you can see from the size comparison he makes the normal sized GW marine look true scaled which is a happy accident. And finally a rough draft of how these two will fit into the scene. I picture the civvy, having already been wounded, to be attempting to hide unaware that a Flest Tearer is about to drop on him and chop him into teeny tiny pieces.

Midnightmare Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Good start, I like the Flesh Tear colouring, how are you planning on weathering him? Will look great if you go mad on it. I hope to see lots of blood and entrails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratboy1664 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Weathering will be mostly using yellow powders as I see the Fire Wastes as being dusty not muddy. Gore is a definite as these guys are meant to be uncontrollable after wiping out an Ork position and there may be one or two minor paint scratches but that is it. I have never attempted weathering effects before so I imagine there will be a lot of trial and error but for now I intend to get the basic paint jobs done first. Much Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratboy1664 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 This is the captain. He is a conversion of the Seth model as 1) he needed to be looking down at his victim, 2) fighting without a helmet is stupid even for a psychopath and 3) never wear a cloak in battle - just watch the incredibles. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratboy1664 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Has anyone read the book about the flesh tearers at gaius point as I would like to know which companies were there so I can apply some squad decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I so hope this turns out as well as that story deserves. One of my favorite shorties. I know you haven't gotten that far in the project yet, but blood, lots and lots of blood, and these guys need to be super damaged. They look beat up in peace time, so after ripping apart an army of Orks, there should hardly be any paint left on their armor I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Ratboy1664 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Ok long time no see but I never promised that this would be a quick project :) I have been working on the sandbags and there is something niggling me about them which I can't put my finger on. Is it the colour, texture, too uniform, too flat?, please throw in your opinions and suggestions as I need help! Oh and can anyone with experience of the artillery suggest what kind of material the base boards would be that they use to keep pieces from sinking into the mud, and what colour/markings might be on them. Much love and now the pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Angel Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Too uniform and neat. Those things would be of different ages, and thrown up ASAP. Yeah they would try to get them all nice and in line, but with so many moving parts, things get out of line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratboy1664 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 More progress! Does it look battle worn enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
