[thamier]

Wow, really outstanding! Lately you put so much detail into all of your conversions, so much awesomness! Can't wait to see the sonic weapons finished.

[ElDuderino]

That's crazy impressive (as usual)! How did you make those horns on the blastmaster?

thanks Duder

i glued two pices of plasticard toghter mocked up the horn then cut and filed the shape, ater that i split them and filed the missing side on each 

^^

 

[ElDuderino]

I wouldn't have thought of that, so simple:) i'll have to give that a try!

[Khornestar]

Seeexy!

:) I use that method often, its simple and easy, the results are good.

 

Seeexy!

thanks, i know but what about the sonic weapons? ;)

 

 

 

joking aside i been looking for a post in a haystack, somewhere here i have seen a post that shows someone sculpting space marines but the actual rivits they had what looked like tiny metal balls just pressed into the green stuff, i looked and looked but i just cant find the post again, anyone know wich one i mean?

[BrotherJim]

You're like a god amongst men Thamier. If you could elaborate more on how you made the horns for the blastmaster - my feeble mind fails to comprehend.

 

Also so nice to see one of your painted dudesman again. I enjoy digging through your thread - but maybe you could do some updated photos of some of your favourites or something. they need showcasing. Much wow.

 

Really enjoying the backpack mount doom siren - that's genius. Works in really well with the chaos backpacks. Could we get some more angles on that...?

now thats a compliment, thanks, when i have a moment ill try to make a excample and post some pictures for you.

 

i just preped a few units for painting so dudesmen are comming soon, the showcase of favorites is a good idea too, will do that when i have time

 

and once its done ill do some pictures of the doomsiren too :)

[thamier]

dudesmen! thought i show my vow for call here too http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/A1EF6934-7517-4B4D-9887-D13C47237B33.jpg

[Quixus]

Nice. Those beasts don't look like Khornedogs, what are they?

[thamier]

bargast fiends from pupetwars, very nice looking as khorndoggys

[The Traitor]

A showcase of some of your minis would be really great, I think you have some of the most inspiring stuff of the whole forum, frankly.

Those puppets of war fiends look just right for khornate puppies, I'm looking forward to see what you do with them.

[Vairocanum]

Wow the detail on the slaanesh backpack is amazing, and also echoing the others in saying the horns on the blast master looks so good.

Hey I missed this earlier. Did you see it recently or was it a long time ago? I know Darkven does a lot of that in his work, so maybe in his new thread? I actually went out and bought some 1mm beads from eBay years ago for just this purpose, but I cannot conceive a method to pick the little devils up and accurately place them. You might need to be more specific if you want to find the thread, there are a few...

 

Looking forward to moare

ye the doggys will be awsome, im not converting them the models are just wicked as is just a bit of paint :)

thanks! as i said i really enjoy the details so fiddling with the tiny stuff makes it extra fun to do, and i guess i have to show how i did horns then, guess after the call of chaos ill get right on that.

i think it was about a week ago, and i have the 1mm beads but they are way to big to use on a marine, so these have to be even smaller!!

i think i used tiny tweezers to use the beads i have. but what i remember was a sculpted space marine chest coukd be terminator like, with rivets along the gorget i think, but i still havent found it, will try darkven, thanks!

[thamier]

heya everyone, its christmas! i been meaning to do a update on the thread but been busy, so didnt get much done but haw a few pictures.

 

so soonish there be a 30k event locally, in the end of January sofar we are 18 players and i signed up with my sons of Horus, so i have to build and paint up more models among them there is maloghurst the twisted ofc so i done a litte more work on him but it is still wip lots left to do, but did manage to do a mock up and take a few pictures

 

so what i wanted is him to be mid motion and keep the character so he is recognisesble hopefully he look a bit twisted a bit hunchedbacked. i been taking my inspiration from the artworks all 3 of them so need to have certain things the masked face the custom backpack and the flayed skin and ofc the bannerpole with the eye

 

 

sarted on the base still needs more but its astart

really hope it turns out to be good

[Vairocanum]

Maloghurst is looking awesome! I really like the hunchback look you've done so far! This is definitely going to turn out amazing. 

[MikhalLeNoir]

Maloghurst is great. I am taking so mich inspiration from your thread. Thx matr

[01RTB01]

Blastmaster looks amazing. How did you get from pic to physical thing?

thanks, i still have time to mess it up ;)

thanks that make me very happy to hear, and also got me wondering what matr is ?

 

Blastmaster looks amazing. How did you get from pic to physical thing?

thanks, the step by step is i copyed the design onto another paper in the scale i wanted then taped that onto plastic card and cut and filed into shape and glued on details, if you like i can try to explain in more detail if needed :)

 

 

with maloghurst i been thinking about the flayed skin he has as looncloth if you seen the artwork, i been wondering how he should look on the back side, if the skin goes all the way round or just fastend by hooks on the sides of his waist, any ideas?

[KrautScientist]

Personally speaking, I think it should be more of a tabard than a simple loincloth, to underline his special position as the Warmaster's equerry with less of an actual combat role. From the (incomplete) depictions in the artwork, I always took away the impression of something almost like Fabius Bile's human skin lab coat, but that's just my head canon.

 

Is that still the same head you had on there previously, by the way?

isent tabbard something you have over your head, like a poncho?

and the fabious coat is easyer because you know how to take a coat on and off bit how does maloghurst take that skin bit on and off?

 

and yes same head i used for him earlyer :)

[The Traitor]

Maloghurst is looking great brother! What do you plan for the banner? Maybe you could put the flayed skin there, as I don´t really see it looking good in his loincloth or a tabbard.

planing on making a plastic eye of horus with the chaos stars on like the artwork then add a bit of chains and skulls for awesome. the flyed skin i dunno yet

[Doctor Perils]

A tabard is like the thing the Black Templars wear

 

Maloghurst is already looking great, can't wait to see him complete :)
