Daemon Smith Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Could you get a pic of the back of the legs? I just can't picture what you did there. Great work on the force man, it's really unique and I'm loving all the small conversions.

Brother Ambroz Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Excessus, great work as always. Question though, where'd this sword come from? Can't figure it out... http://imageshack.us/a/img443/1264/kaq6.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278081-sometimes-excessus-does-hobby-things/page/2/#findComment-3493381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednekkboss Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Excessus, great work as always. Question though, where'd this sword come from? Can't figure it out... http://imageshack.us/a/img443/1264/kaq6.jpg Looks like a Skaven halbard blade. Nice looking Alpha Legionaires. Nice use of the loyalist parts along with the chaos gear. I agree with Eisenhorn's sentiment about to much Chaosy iconography. Good stuf, keep it up!

BrotherJim Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 ahh the humble drybrush aye, looks great, thanks for that... really digging the latest guys, im wondering, do you pin the legs to the hip? just super glue? green stuff? keep up the great work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278081-sometimes-excessus-does-hobby-things/page/2/#findComment-3493465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) @Daemon Smith: Sure, but the hips are cluttered with gear now...though I think you can see it pretty ok. My heel-sculpting skills aren't that amazing, but it'll get better I reckon, hehehttp://imageshack.us/a/img203/5075/feo7.jpg@Tanith: Yeah, rednekkboss get's a gold star, it's from the skaven stormvermin sprue. I bought one aaaages ago thinking I would make some cultists or something out of them...but they were so small...I have maybe found a use for those bodies though...@jimmy101: It's GS, combined with Galeforce Nine Hobby Glue! That stuff is insane! Permanently glues together, metal, plastic, paper, fingers...whatever you want and some things you don't want! -My Lord there is a vox for you-Ah thanks, yes, this is Lord Alpharius-mhm-aha-they summoned a WHAT???Darn cultists, hehehttp://imageshack.us/a/img513/7146/wkvk.jpgGotta keep with the times and all that. My Alpha Legion doesn't work alongside daemons often due to the unpredictability of their nature and the difficulty of summoning them so far from the major warp storms. But sometimes the cultists can do a passable job at stabilising them in the material realm...

Brother Ambroz Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 That Tzeentchian fella's going to be sweet when he's done. Ah gotcha. Was just thinking they might make for some cool combat knives instead of the dinky little things we get in the normal sprue.

Excessus Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yeah, they look a bit more brutal. :) Now, for my horrors. I made this a while ago, in an attempt to make the horrors a bit more...horrifying... http://imageshack.us/a/img534/8866/wg5o.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img827/5468/4jzr.jpg Any thoughts on that? Criticism is more than welcome, especially now before I start painting them...

TearsOfTheRaven Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm not sure if its intentional but it kinda looks like he's screaming "ROCK ON!". The hair do adds to that.

Dosjetka Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 GS work is a bit rough in some places so maybe you could smooth it out a bit, but overall he looks good.

Brother Ambroz Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm not sure if its intentional but it kinda looks like he's screaming "ROCK ON!". The hair do adds to that. That's the impression I get from alot of the new horrors. The GS work looks good to me, but I'm not very experienced with that. That's a pretty awesome idea though.

Didn't have much thoughts when I was first doing it, just a vague idea...but strangely enough, the finished product somehow reminded me of these ones...but with real arms... http://images.wikia.com/fallout/images/7/7a/Wanamingo_render.jpg @Ludo, yeah the GS work is a bit shoddy, it needs improving for sure!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I should be a clayshaper salesman as much as I sing their praises, but they make getting a smooth surface with your GS soooooooo much easier than metal tools. My only criticism about your sculpting work is the rough texture and some fingerprints in a few spots. Otherwise, the sculpting work itself is solid.

Excessus Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yes, I am struggling with smooth surfaces really, I can never seem to get them properly smooth! Clayshaper tools you say...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yessir! I had purchased some of the mini ones a few years back and they seemed OK, but this past christmas, I got a set of the regular size ones with the stiff rubber tips, and the difference they have made to my sculpting is phenomenal. They're a bit pricy, but I actively look forward to sculpting work now instead of doing everything I can to minimize it for a conversion I want to do.

Ammonius Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Here is a link to where I bought my color shapers. I got the firm ones, because I wasn't sure how well they would push greenstuff around. With some water, they can "polish" a surface smooth, or push up ridges and shapes without fingerprints ever coming into play. I used mine extensively when I sculpted up my Obliterators. http://www.dickblick.com/products/colour-shapers-tools/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278081-sometimes-excessus-does-hobby-things/page/2/#findComment-3494123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 I have an art supply shop in town, gonna check there first. If they don't have anything, I'll be checking out that page closer.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The size 6 are what I'm recommending. The mini shapers are, for the most part, too small. I use the flat chisel to really smooth out the surface of the GS and the mini size is to small to do it properly in most instances.

Dan The Deamon Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I use the shapers. Some Vaseline always come in handy too.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I just snag a little olive oil from the kitchen every couple months, but yes, you definitely need to lubricate the tools if you aren't already.

Excessus Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Well, I'll have to make do with the tools I have for now. My horrors are needed in a tournament, and I need to get them done for that!

Natanael Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I didnt know you had a thread here?! =) 1. I have clay shapers. I can bring them some time to the shop and you can have a look/borrow them. Used them for my true scale Project, and they are great. 2. The jetbike is really cool!3. You should take some pics of the army in action this weekend and put them up for all to see. =) / Obben Reaver 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278081-sometimes-excessus-does-hobby-things/page/2/#findComment-3508461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
