Tzen Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 So I have "finished" this chap. The daemon smoke is clearly a bit rubbish, but honestly I don't like the daemon. I am tempted to cut the daemon out and just have the magical flames. So I have done a fairly perfunctory job on it. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sorcdone4.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sorcdone1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sorcdone2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sorcdone3.jpg Other than that this mini is amazing. There's nothing wrong with the detail of the daemon, I just don't like it. However the detail on the face is mind blowing. I can't recommend this miniature enough.

Sagentus Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Really like the model as a whole, great work all round! Liking the dark tones you used for the sumoning daemon, not keen on the bright colours some people use.

The Traitor Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 He looks awesome, though maybe I would add some more green to the daemon, even if you don't like it it's a focal part of the model. He's really cool even though! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/37/#findComment-4905703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yeah, the daemon isn't really finished at all. But instead of just rushing it and being unhappy, I have just decided to wait until inspiration strikes! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/37/#findComment-4905709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Really like the turquoise you have threading through the model, it's nice and subtle while still contrasting nicely with the red armour. I'd only suggest going back to the gem and giving it a final highlight of white, as it looks a bit too similar to the cloak and lacks the gem stone look imo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/37/#findComment-4906800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 I hear ya. I am not sure I want it to be a gem. It just seems a bit big and out of place. I might paint it black and put the word bearers symbol in there. :S I am waiting with it, just like the smoke daemon. Waiting for inspiration to strike! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/37/#findComment-4907050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliGn Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Can you show a photo with a white background? The cloak and the daemon are getting lost against the black for me. I like the way you have the two colours for the loincloth, but I think that the black pauldrons, cloak and Daemon ends up overwhelming. Maybe if the smoke swirled from black up into a flame effect around the head, with the head staying black to mimic the legion symbol? The daemon's head bursting from the flames. It's looking pretty badass on the rest of it - that head is superb.

Tzen Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 I shall take a pic in a bit. Just keep in mind the daemon isn't finished. I basically just put some colour in there to use the mini in games so it doesn't stand out too much. I am still totally at a loss as what I want to do with it :( Still need to put the decals on his shoulder too now you mention it! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/37/#findComment-4907066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 White Background. These take me ages cos I rely on direct sunlight.

MaliGn Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I hear you on that! That's why I use green! It's definitely easier to see what's going on in this case though, good stuff!

hushrong Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Your Word Bearers are still looking excellent! Your red recipe is so eye catching by itself. I liked the battle shots a page back and it's great that fluffy armies have all the bits they need.

Tzen Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Little bit of an experiment with a Primaris Word Bearer! :D http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/csmprim.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/37/#findComment-5121211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushrong Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 It'll work and you will want more! I am pretty excited to see this. I just saw a primaris done up as a Black Legionaire and now I have size envy of those big marines!

Tzen Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Haha, my main envy with the Primaris is the potential for poses. It sounds a bit weird, but they look so much more natural than normal marines. More importantly, normal marines look a lil daft to me next to Primaris! >.< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/37/#findComment-5122439 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're doing a fine job with that primaris WB though!

hushrong Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 For me the MK3 is best. It's bulkier and the legs are more straight without the pre-teabagging position. Rubrics and plague marines are also strong contenders too now that they are a bit bigger. I think those deathwatch legs are good too because they stand up more straight as well but I have yet to use any. It didn't bother me before but now I am envious of the size of the primaris. I wouldn't mind getting some to convert up for chaos. And thanks you to Tzen I have ideas to borrow. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/37/#findComment-5122581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have had little time to paint recently, but I have done a small about on Erebus! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/erebus2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/erebus1.jpg I don't like the flame on his right leg, I am going to try and re work that into something more suitable to the best character in 40k (30k?!?)

Tzen Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 He did everything wrong, but heroes are nothing without a good villain! :D I just wanna try something else with the flame.

MaliGn Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 You seem to be in the middle of at least three projects all at once between Erebus, your Cawdor gang and ultramarine primaris, let alone real life!
