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

[thamier]

Ah fair enough. Still looks good :tu: :)

thank you bio

 

How's about hanging skulls from the heavy bolters here and there instead of the spikes? Perhaps a Space Marine helmet, dremelled out with a jewelers chain running through the eye sockets? 

Your flame sculpting skills are insane. I hate you a little. ;)

 

i tought about that, it might be cool only concern i had was it they look to bulky, also tought of just having chains hand in but the amongeed belt is in the way of that.

 

 

How did you sculpt those flames, they're amazing!!! Seriously, tried it a couple of times and I couldn't get something half as decent!

 

with sculpting tools and greenstuff.

 

but in more detail, i take some 1mm plastic card and glue in a 90ish degree angle then sculpt one side with a silicone nonstick sculpting tool, workong it back and forth until i am happy with the look of it, once dry i remove it and glue it onto anotger pice and sculpt the other side, then clean and done.

That is looking sinister... So great!

[Biohazard]

Nice! Very smooth!

[Sagentus]

This is inspiring, I'm not one to make scenery, but stuff like this makes me want to give it a go!

[ElDuderino]

That looks real good, I'd really like to replicate the effect on my knight. Would you be willinh to share any tricks used?

i guess it is scenery, but i think of it as really big models.

That effect looks awesome! Damn Thamier if you continue having such great ideas that I want to copy my army is going to simply turn into a pale shadow of yours...

COol Bastion so far. So the process is you first sculpt the straight edged arrows, and when they are dry you add the 'fleshy' opened masonry?

[Nemac Vradon]

That looks brilliant, It's admirable that you take the time to customise your scenery so thoroughly as well as every miniature in your collection. Echoing Augustus comment, I would love to know how you went about sculpting the Chaos Star on your Bastion :)

i used a pen to mark up the chaos star shapes roughly, then added greenstuff ontop of that shaping it the way i wanted, after that once dry i added next layer on the sides smooting it down (plan is to mak it look like it burst out from underneath the ceremite plates, will paint it like torn metal along the edges) i smooth it down then rugh up the edge along the star, finishing by pressing down a bit of rounded insta mould to (i used to copy the textture of the bastion walls) add the right texture to the transition area

Oh so that's the secret!:p you make it sound easy, but damn if I'll ever get us looking that good:)

 

Anyways, the effect looks amazing, and even better when the burst concrete layer is added, very very nice work. I love how you ve added the texture into the U.S. also, that was probably what was needed to make this look "natural"

[Verger]

I wish I'd thought of that tearing effect of the chaos star on my chaos Knight.  I guess its something I can steal for the Nurgle one I have planned.  Awesome work! :)

[Aasfresser]

I was looking around your thread for years now, I just realized I never commented here. That's really strange. I simply love your stuff! Don't know where to start, but oh boy, I feel like an obese diabetic kid in a candy store :D

[Teetengee]

Do you think it would be possible to shrink this method down to power armor scale?

[Sagentus]

Really like the GS work here... defo going to have to try something similar on a renegade knight (one day) :) 

[Biohazard]

That effect is brilliant, this is going to look great :tu:

yup thats my secret, with the clay sculpting tools it makes it alot easyer, but if you try it im sure you get great results. thank you for all the kind words.

im sure you coukd still add it after, or do it on your next knight, thank you.
