The_Chaplain Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 That kraatos dude looks very scibor doesnt he. Not really, considering he's actually scaled properly and has correct 28mm proportions (zing!). Seriously though, I think Scibor's stuff is pretty overrated. Kraatos has just the right level of filigree and bling on his armor without being over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Well said, I dislike scibors work, I think his models are Tacky Kraatos fits with the aesthetic of aiakos and moloc nicely and isnt ott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Kraatos is a really cool model.. Thanks for posting, I hadn't even heard about him. I hope FW cover more of the Badab war factions. But they'd have to rein in the HH stuff first.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secretpaintgeek Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Suprised your both so full of praise for a mini that has the asthetic of scibors work. I'm not a big fan of Scibor myself, Hence why i'm not keen on this Kratos fella. Horus looks pimp though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Proportions on kraatos are normal marine proportions not scibor style, details fit in with established minotaur details (aiakos and moloc models).. just because scibor uses (and tends towards overuse) of swirly patterns hes made with press moulds does not detract from this model.. thatd be like saying horus is ugly because the eye motif is badly done and overused by another sculptor..

Brother Heinrich Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Your entitled to your opinion. lol oh boy. Nice work so far Lorenzen, Kraatos is a fitting addition to your force (freaking Minotaurs get all the cool toys dammit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Your entitled to your opinion. I get what you're saying. The FW Death Guard heads gave me a 'knock-off' feel, but everyone told me I must be wrong because they were true to the Visions stuff. Sometimes a concept can be 'stained' by prior poor execution, and while the Kraatos model might very well be better executed than the scribor stuff, the negative connotation from the latter affects your perception of the swirls. Same thing for me and the DG heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the damned artificer Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Mate that face is some of your best work to date imo, it reeks of character. More DG and less greek marines please ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Holy crap dude, I want to be able to do faces like that, a-freakin-mazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 My god, Typhon's face is painted so well; I was concerned it couldn't be done, but I stand corrected (and remain convinced that FW can't do a decent paintjob to save their lives lately).

KrautScientist Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 That face is indeed unbelievable! Be honest now, you actually sculpted a much larger version of the head in order to be able to paint it like that, and you're just deceiving us now with the cleverly cropped image ;) Oh, and those Minotaurs are amazing as well -- let's not forget that! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks guys, I'm pretty pleased with how he's looking so far (hence him hijacking this thread) i did a few more touch ups to his visage this morning.. mainly getting the eyes to a stage that i liked and getting his hair a little darker. http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/096/9/6/typhon_by_typhion-d7d9b0h.jpg http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/096/3/1/typhon2_by_typhion-d7d9af5.jpg head isn't glued into place yet (hence the jaunty angle in the 1st pic) so i can paint the armour without messing it up, but i think its about done now bar the cables really. *edit* no shady dealings going on here KrautScientist.. heres a link to the original photo in all its retardedly large glory just for you! http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/096/a/5/giant_typhon_by_typhion-d7d9daw.jpg (be warned its 3058x2889 and needs clicking on to enjoy at full size) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Utterly insane skill. Your Deathguard where one of the big inspirations for starting my own plog, and your prateor in particular is one of the finest examples of "30K" modelling i've seen - looks like Typhon is going to be even better somehow. Can't wait. Oh - your Minotaurs are super fly as well obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Well, I hope it's clear that I was joking, but thanks all the same for proving me wrong I have to say that the bare head included with Typhus had seemed more or less like an afterthought to me before - and I am normally a huge fan of unhelmeted marines - but your paintjob really changed my mind -- amazing. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just head over to your DG thread and right-click the snot out of all the pictures for the benefit of my inspiration folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzen Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 yeah i figured just a fan of the "purposefully not understanding sarcasm revolution" (i tend to listen to the alex baker show podcasts when i paint..) I wasn't sold on the head at first as i thought it was a little too thin in comparison to Dominiks awesome sketch of him and was initially going to use the helmet.. but decided id paint it just to see if i wanted to use it afterall.. turns out i do! *edit* your guitar is a lawgiver?!?! may have to rethink the baritone eclipse now..

Lorenzen Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Back to Minotaurs for this update.. Working on getting the 2nd tactical squad to a decent level of painted so that i dont seem as much of an embarassment when playing games.. gotta start figuring out a 1650pt list soon and focus on painting for that..
