Tzen Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 By Bone do you mean Ushabti Bone? Errr yeah, whichever is the lighter of the two bone colours. I can't remember which one now and don't have my paints with me at the moment! Sigismund229, on 07 Nov 2015 - 10:31 PM, said: Normally I don't like Word Bearers, but these guys look ace!

Tzen Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks as always for all the kind words chaps! :D I have finally got round to doing a little more work on the Mhara Gal! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/mg5.jpg I hope to have this guy finished by next week! Starcraft 2 took up a little more of my spare time than I would like to admit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Nearly finished the Mhara Gal! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/mghead.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/mgtight.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/mgleft.jpg I love this model because, well, it's a huge chaos robot, what's not to love? However I do feel like the torso is "too busy". By this I mean there is a lot going on it's difficult to discern some of the details because the sculptor seemed to want to do a lot with it. Also, there isn't a focal point. Normally a miniatures head is the focal point, in this model's case the head is so mangled and indistinct that you find your eyes wandering a little too much. This may have been the desired effect. It is chaos after all. It's just odd to paint. I nearly did some OSL effects round the head area to really mark it out, but decided against it at the last minute. Anyway, just his arms to do then he's done! Oh and I need to redo the highlights on the model's right hand side. They got a little rubbed off during painting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 What a beast. I actually really like the mangled, chaotic look of the torso/head area. Excellent work :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushrong Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 That is an awesome looking monster! I also have just learned it has a mini foot with hoof growing out of its left leg. Now I am wondering what other mutations it has that I've missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'll do my best! My Gal Vorbak and possessed surrounding this beast would be cool! :D And thanks for the kind words chaps (and chapettes?). Still working on the arms, hoping to have it finished tomorrow! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Well, the Mhara Gal is "finished". http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/bmg1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/bmg2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/bmg3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/bmg4.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/wmg1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/wmg2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/wmg3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/wmg4.jpg I may yet add some things. In fact I know I need to put the Word Bearers logo on the right shoulder pad. I just can't decide if it will be 30k or 40k logo! I've added both black and white background pictures. I prefer black background pictures for my bad guys. I also think the red looks much richer and more true to life on the black background. You guys can be the best judge. This model isn't very photogenic, and I don't think it comes across as cool in pictures as it does in real life. I also think the model is a little lazy. The joints at the arms seem to be at odds. The torso has melting flesh puckering up to the ball joint of the shoulder pad. However the shoulder pad itself is just nice and smooth. It seems to disrupt the flow of the miniature. I still love it, there's a few niggles and things I would have done differently if I had to paint it again, but I can't grumble. Although truth be told, this was a hell of a miniature to paint, so I am kinda glad it is over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemac Vradon Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Stunning dude. I agree the black background makes it much easier to see what's going on. Very nice work :) Nemac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 That plasma cannon arm looks a bit weird (sculpt-wise), but wow! what a terrific job you've done. And yes, black background is far better :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yeah, I know what you mean. It's "chaos" though, so i suppose weird is good... right? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Gonna take a few pics tomorrow with them! Maybe my possessed too. I have the sword brethren and Zardu Lyuk (sp?). But I may have a short break from my Word Bearers. Just to paint something different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
