JJD Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Looking really nice Brother, love the smooth robe work :tu: Stobz Thanks Stobz. I spent ages trying to decide on colours. I’m really happy with how he is turning out. The purple blended really nicely and the trim came out better Than I hoped. I am paticulary pleased with the red feathers on the helmet. I’m going to freehand the banner but I can’t decide how to make a black power sword look right. Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Have a look at my Sammy one in my thread, good luck finding it, somewhere in the middle pages ;) JJD 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuka06 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I’m going to freehand the banner but I can’t decide how to make a black power sword look right. Couple of ideas, no clue on if they work. - Start with Runefang siver and then do multiple layers of nuln oil gloss and have just the cutting edge show the runefang - Do a blend from black to fenrisian grey and then give it some shine with a coat of gloss nuln oil and/or 'ard coat JJD 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested you can find Stobz Sammy here I’m going to freehand the banner but I can’t decide how to make a black power sword look right. Couple of ideas, no clue on if they work. - Start with Runefang siver and then do multiple layers of nuln oil gloss and have just the cutting edge show the runefang - Do a blend from black to fenrisian grey and then give it some shine with a coat of gloss nuln oil and/or 'ard coat From looking at his sword in the in the GW shop I think I will try something similar to your second suggestion. Thanks for the ideas. Edited February 21, 2018 by JJD Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chmur Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Silver with glaze/wash over works best to simulate "powered down sword" For "on" sword I would say follow the usual power sword blending technique, just go from black to grey/white. Some ideas: There's as well great colour for bases of black power weapons, Vallejo Model Air 073: Black (Metallic); not sure if you want to go metallic look on the sword (meteorite that is processed into metal) or more stone-y look (meteorite that is processed directly into blade without any forging).

JJD Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 It not perfect but I think I’m ok with it. Let me know what you think. The lines look a bit less wobbly in real life than this close up. stuka06, elmo, MithrilForge and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJD Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 I’ve realised a stupid error. I’ve put heavier highlights on the top but when I attach it to the model the top will be the bottom. Face palm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face palm. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about that too much. Just have the Sword be so sharp at the tip, that it defies the physics of light. I know this sounds a bit stupid, I'd just have it point somewhat outwards and let the paint job be an eye catcher JJD 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 great stuff, the sword looks nice ,perhaps just put it on and post a pic and lets see how it looks first before you go to Defcon-1 and repaint it... cheers, Mithril JJD 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJD Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Thanks for all your the positive comments. I added a bit more highlight to the top I couldn’t help myself. I’m happy with the sword now sadly It’s a bit washed out in this image but you’ll get the idea. So here is Azral in all his glory stoically striding to battle Combi-plasma blazing. I hope you like the finished conversion. It’s quite different from the official model. Banner and base time Hopefully he will be done by the end of the weekend Edited February 22, 2018 by JJD robofish7591, stuka06, Lostrael and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Here is another image under a strong light. To be honest the highlights look a bit too strong in this photo. The actual finish is somewhere between the two images. I’m super proud of him as I’m sure you can tell with so many WIP images.

JJD Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Almost done. I wish I could get a better picture. Just the banner to have a go at but he’s ready for the table top.

Chaplain Raeven Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I love that guy. He looks disappointed with whoever he's about to slag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I love that guy. He looks disappointed with whoever he's about to slag.Thanks GRC I love him too. The only issue is that when I glued him to the base it has caused him to lean forwards so his gun is pointing slightly down. I’m going to wait until I have attached the banner before I decide if it is worth altering. Edited February 26, 2018 by JJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) The Supreme Grand Master of the Unforgiven Azrael. The freehand on the banner was very difficult on the smaller banner but I am happy with how it turned out. I am thrilled with the finished model and I can’t wait to use him.

JJD Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Awesome freehand! Thanks Sneakybamsen. I think my freehand on the Banner of devistation was a little better but I had a bigger area to work with. I think the red background worked a little better too but this one is true to Azraels banner in the books. I’m am pretty proud of this one.
