thanks deathspecter hopefully I will have them painted soonish though I managed to cut tough most of my finger last night preparing a stew sleep.png so maybe it wont be soonish as Its rather tender. Anyway I thought i'd post my army thus far...another but not all my figures are in the pictures a 5 man Assualt Squad and an Ashen Circle squad which il be converting to be a vanguard vet squad not sure on weapons yet but I feeling thunder shield and power maul.

I am also in the process of converting a storm raven, sensing a trend here? I never stick at one thing to long i get bored to easily

Here is the rabble thus far. (everything is in spoilers so the pages load quicker)

Hey guys and gals its only a minor update but my finger has hindered my progress with my projects but I'd like to show you my storm raven thus far. Seeing Night hunter and Black-adders mammoth projects inspired me to do something to the flying boat, its nothing close to the amount of work either of them would do but I like it. Still looks ugly but makes more sense in my eyes. 

 

I would really like some criticisms and critiques about what works and doesn't, a lot of my plasti-card work was by eye hence the amount of greenstuff here and there so forgive my sloppiness.

Thanks Ch@az and deathspectre.

 

It's to replace the air-intake which I don't like and have stuck on the nose. It's also meant to be a secondary exhaust system but I may get some pipe and bend it into the engines them self to show the idea off more :)

 

Umm, I hate to break this to you but, Haegr's horn is the wrong way round. The narrow end is the end he puts his mouth to. :ermm:

Na he is drinking from it once I've finished painting it il get some glue and tint it so it looks like mead spilling out :)

Saw this guy and immediately thought:

"Whooooaaaa, we're half way there. WHOAH! LIVING ON A PRAYER!"

or, alternatively;

"Oh, I'll tellyouwhatiwant whatireallyreallywant, I'll tellyouwhatiwant whatireallyreallywant!" tongue.png

Seriously though, wicked GS skills, and I love the space sharks \m/

Haha! Waking up to that has already made my day thanks mate.

 

My brother has read all or most of the wolf guard series and he enjoyed telling my about Haegr, Torin and Ragnar. It being rare and hard for him to read and my love of a fat space marine I had to make them for him.

Dude, no way a Wolf is going to be singing skinny Bon Jovi "Living on a Prayer".

 

It would totally be "Dead or Alive". ;)

 

Oh, and excellent GS'ing sir!

Since my fingers healed some what i thought id try and get a sympathy plea lol, thankfully it is not that grim.

Right anyway I have manged to do some work on my storm raven if only minor add a little internal detail to the hurricane bolters smile.png like extra ammo drum as i had wondered how long could it actually sustain fire with a tinny ammo compartment like that and a poor attempt at a console. I'l also chuck in some pictures from my army that some of you might not have seen smile.png.

Tyberos, I never actually upload this even to my old forum. (i will probably take the guy impaled off either lose him entirely or make it so his face is being ground off by the chain-mits as Mr Red grabs him)

Standard bearer (needs alot more love and some more teeth added to the sharks jaw and some clean up)

My favourite old marine I did nearly a year and a bit ago.... Which is inspired by predator.

This is a universal tech marine i did for me, my dad and brother to use which is why he has no chapter livery really.

An old picture of my contemptor when i was going to have snow bases and he still wasnt quite finished.

Here is my test mini my first ever Carcharodon

The Tyberos pics You've mentioned, nice- good pose, definitely menacing. I like the idea of him grinding somebody's head down- the most graphic (by which i mean awesome) thing i can think of is a kneeling figure, grabbing the claw, as if trying to push it away with the last of his will, while the teeth of the chainclaw are halfway through his forehead. As for the guy currently on the claw- I see You too have a passion for modelling triple-dead enemies onto Your heroes ;-) I hope we never go into competition mode in "who can make enemies more dead on bases" (although a part of me kinda wishes we would).

 

Brother Hamlet looks cool. Very Mortal Kombat AND Shaekspearean at the same time, which ,btw, is the first time this phrase has been written, If i may venture such a guess.

 

I like the rust on the grey, it does provide a nice counterpoint to the grey and black (nice freehands btw) and makes them look like they really mean business.

 

By far the most gruesome image however, was that cut through the fingernail. I've been to autopsies and seen surgery firsthand, even on my own hand once, but this feels like running a nail on the enamel of my teeth, like a vinyl record. How did You manage to cut it so badly?

 

Lastly- a minor criticism- I think there should be more glass on that contemptor's base. All sorts of colors, too, and a bit of an angel's head stained-glass painting (or Marshal Helbrecht's from the codex banner image), but that's just me, i guess.

Awesome! right operation face grater shall be put into action ASAP. But I I can't take credit for the pose it was just putting corpses in the right place as I couldn't bring myself to cut him. Also thanks for all the kind words but most of the "freehand" is decals... My ego appreciated it but my conscience said I should tell the truth ;) thanks anyway bud.

 

I shall try and do your idea justice and will add more glass and possibly a figure in the stained glass window I can't guarantee it but try I shall!

 

Oh and the finger that was trying to cut some vegetables. I slipped with the kitchen knife luckily I heard the crunch of my nail, I slowly removed the knife from my finger and just had time to get to the sink before the blood started to flow. I felt like a right boob just glad I stopped before I took that bit of my finger off haha

Well its only a small update but I've been busy with work and my brother is down for the week so we actually had a game of 40k Wolves Vs Sharks ... was a close game but Blood Claws V Tyberos and 5 terminators (where the last squads each of us had left from 1000pts) It was kind of obvious who would win even if my brother did kill a few termis with bolt pistols xD.

But I digress I haven't had the dexterity to work on my storm raven, but have done a bit more work to Tyberos and started work on some terminators (as in the game they where just 10 bases.... lol the game really was a clash of unpainted, primed and finished/non-existent models on both sides)

First Tyberos thanks to Ch@oz I came up with this it works alot better than half a marine hanging from the lighting claws . There is still some work to do like re-positioning the feet of the poor beakie marine and il try and get some major blood spray with wire and glue smile.png but the pose im happy with though C&C would be nice.

The Next is inspired by the amazing pose from the 2010 Space Hulk mine is a bit more OTT and i still need to sculpt on the other half of the arm in the terminators right hand but hopefully the pose looks organic and the fingers don't look to "floaty". The pose is meant to show a guardsman just some how hanging on to life even though he's been cut in two and my termi has decide to rip one of his arms off for the sake of it....

Finally this is very WIP but I've never seen a kneeling terminator its probably been done but the end result will be him raming one lighting claw into the ground/body and the other pointing forwards. (You can also see my finger is healing nicely happy.png)

Heres some more work on my Terminator squad smile.png nearly done on the first two just final touches like skull trophies and chains/ropes with teeth on. I would like some help or ideas for the last pose my mind has drawn a blank ;\ and any advice for the two new guys smile.png I have actually come up with a name for the first two terminators Isurus and Cobalus. Isurus is the genus for the Mako sharks and Cobalus meaning goblin in latin (after the goblin shark).

This is Isurus and maybe.. Galeocredo (Tiger Shark)



and this is Cobalus and the other guy could be called Leucas after the bull shark even though its a bit vague and can mean whale/dolphin with out the carcharhinus at the start lol. Leucas will be holding a space marine helmet in the arm he is raising up (Mantis warriors im thinking)



Let me know what you think of the names and the terminators them selves smile.png

Hey guys I havent been idle :) a small update.

 

@deathspectersgt: Cheers mate comments keep me going as ive worked out what a back log of models i have xD.

 

@Ch@oZ: I try and make them different so when I paint them I don't get bored. Also I really want to get the gory fluff and why the chapter is a desperate ally :)

 

@Battle8rother: Thanks mate but the robes was because I wasn't decent it being 9 in the morning xD feeling lazy. I probably should have added a bit more of a gut but eh just have to paint him now... lol.

 

So I've been doing some horrible hours at work lately and have had about 10 hours sleep in the last 3 days. Though I have been modelling into the night xS so i only have myself to blame. I apologise for the terrible pictures but I don't have my girl friends camera anymore, but I may beg and get it later when I've done a load.

 

My chaplains staff and power fist ( a better picture though it still hard to make everything out :\ ) Got some chains to finish and skulls to add along with a shark tooth necklace.

I introduce Triakis the squad leader. He follow's Tyberos marshal closely trying to perfect his combat style, with his cool head and razor sharp awareness he can make the slightly out dated indomitus pattern armour dance. Even with his skill and foresight he doesn't come close to the Red Wakes talent and ability.  I tried to give a slight nod to this by doing the same symbol on his chest that Tyberos has (needs some rivet heads) and give him a more reserved pose.

 

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j195/Holy_Milkman/DSC_00661_zps4a58005a.jpg

 

Ive done a bit more work to Leucas aswell 

 

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j195/Holy_Milkman/DSC_00651_zpsccdfc5b5.jpg

 

And my plan for me tactical squad Srgt. is roughly this.

Hello all again, its only looks like a small update but alot of love has gone into these thus far. I have only done fine detail work on Cobalus and Leucas, though i have made two more terminators for the squad only problem is I've lost the bases for them... though I introduce Glyphis and Ctenactis. Glyphis is the one walking though fire which needs some more work and Ctenactis is the copy of another Space Hulk pose tongue.png I'm starting to run out of ideas for poses, though a few crazy ones I havent done as I don't think terminators have the range of movement to pull it off.





Along with actually doing my models I have had a look at the vast list of things yet built or half finished I shall give you a taste

(Building/Half finished)

10 lighting Claw Terminators
2 1/2 tactical squads
Drop Pod
Chaplain with jump pack
Chaplain in term armour
Contemptor
5 scouts

Storm Raven

(Boxed)
Demos pattern pred
Things to make a 5 man Stern Guard squad
1/2 tac squad
5 man Vanguard squad

Land Raider Crusader

That is just mine I have my brothers to do onop of this, I have started his thunder wolves though tongue.png lol hopefully I'l finish haegr and my brothers terminators and mine then move on to my vanguard squad I have some cool ideas, or so my ego says... C&C welcome as always smile.png.
