Let The Galaxy Burn! Balefire Legion: 40k again!

[Pearson73]

The green of the eyes and coils works well with the rest of the model, nice to see a slightly different take on the Sons.

[Doctor Perils]

That eye on the chest ! that eye that eye that eye !

 

It's absolutely beautiful !

 

The paint scheme is great, looking forward to this thamier :)

[Eldrick Shadowblade]

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Amazing Son of Horus. Clean and eye-catching.

[thamier]

[thamier]

what do you think? is it okay?

[Augustus b'Raass]

OKay? Dude it looks great. Well done indeed on the press molds. Was it hard to get those spikes on the kneepads?

a little, was tricky to get them placed and not shooting them across the room when they slipped from my twesers. had to make a tiny puddle of glue dipnthemmthen apply, gonna be fun to do the big areas like legs or shoulder plate ... :p

[DimDim]

Only thing I would reccomend is to bring in the arms a bit, to close the large gap between the shoulder pads and the torso. Other than that, the conversion is ace!

[thamier]

gonna try, tje arms are magnetized and i have tryed to make the shoulder pads fit more snugly on the others, you are right it dosent look great

[WilhelMiniatures]

The head looks like one of the original ones from FW. Is it? If not, how did you make it?

again used press mould to do that too, at first i considered filing down a mk 4 helmet, but it seemed to look okay with the instamould version

[SalvationOfReason]

For the kneepad spikes, have you considered using an accelerant? Use the accelerator on the kneepad, superglue on the spikes, should help them set fast ^^ Edited February 26, 2016 by SalvationOfReason

[Teetengee]

could work, but something that small will dry basically instantly, so make sure you place them correctly at first contact

[Eldrick Shadowblade]

looks really good thamier

[thamier]

used superglue for the spikes, and it drys fast enough, the problem is my had is a little shakey and its very small spikes ;)

 

 

looks really good thamier

thanks mate!

[thamier]

fist batch of converted justarin terminators done, well missing a multimelta on one but otherwise oh and a few riviets but added those now.

what do you guys think?

[DimDim]

perfection.

[thamier]

perfection.

that might make the emperors children jelous :)

[Augustus b'Raass]

Awesome job, dude. Well done. They look ace. :tu:

[thamier]

Awesome job, dude. Well done. They look ace. :tu:

thanks mate, need to build 10 more and then paint them all up, anyone know whats the best loadout for justarin terminators? also can they have combi meltas? or is that only 40k?

[thamier]

update time! so i been working on my justarin terminators and all thats missing now is some storm bolter bits so i van maje the last combi plasmas also missing two of the powersword arms so i can make the last catonian poweraxes for them.

 

here is a picture of my poweraxe prototype, what i did was i had a powermaul that i got from a good friend, i cut the head off the maul and taking the round ball part from a old skeletonwarrior morningstar and makeing blades from plastic card it started to take shape, added the last details with greenstuff(tryed cutting them free from some plastic powerwepons but that just keept failing. the nodes are so small and fragike they just curl and deform) so i sculped the nodes and was quite happy with the look, onece my proto type was done i used instamould also known as magic mould to cast more axes in grey stuff (greystuff gets less bendy then greenstuff)

this is the mould i made for the axe and also cut upp a betryal at calth kombibolter side to make it compatible with forgeworld kombi bitz then glued it together and cast that too

so now i have 15 justarin terminators konverted from betryal at calth box, almost all done as i mentioned then they need some paint ;)

 

and here they are

now i just need to get the last bits im missing then i can get the last two justarin finished.

 

nex project im gonna start on is makeing some Sons of Horus Reavers.

so gonna convert up some mk 3 torsos to be reaverlike ;)

 

hope you enjoyed this litte update, and if you have any questions or comments you know I like to hear from you all.

Glorious! Excellent work Thamier!

 

You have created something truly unique here that fits perfectly with the theme and spirit of 40k the hobby. They look marvellous.

 

You sure get a lot done with that instamold, I can make press molds ok, but haven't tried two part molds, the photos have got me thinking... Hmmm any further tips?

 

Can't wait to see em painted, the Son of Horus earlier was really nice too btw

thanks alot for the compliment, i noticed that i gotten better att using the insta mould, i can tell you all that i learnt.

i one great feature is that if you make one side of the mould and let it cool for about 5 minutes before you make the other sode they dont fuse into one solid bit ;).

 

also started to use a toothpick to make a few holes in the bottom part while its still soft, moving it in a circular motion so when i press the top bit on later it fill the holes and it will make the mould align nicely once you start casting.

 

step by step what i do is 1 heat up water and add instamould 2 rughtly shape it to fit the part( most of the time i make it square)

3 place on flat surface and press bit down into the instamould half way. 4 use sculpting tool to first press the instamould in snugly to the sides of the bit, and with bigger sculpting tool press the sides of the entire mould in twords the bit to give it a squre shape. 5 after 5 minutes i heat up instamould part 2 and shape it roughly square with fingers. 6 i losen the first part from the flat surface so i can move it around and then i press part 2 down onto the first part, starting from a cornor and sliding it ontop to let most of the air exscape then i flip the mould so the part two is now downwards onto the flat surface and i press it down firmly and with tool press sides in to fit better around part one. step 7 after its cooled i pry the them apart and remove to bit. 8 with a scalpel i stap a few slits into both sides on the highes parts so air can excapse when casting.

 

hope that was helpful, sorry for the confusing discription
