Yosef Hausakluif Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 that is NUTS! Seriously it should come with a warning or an 'R' rating!!! How did you make that gore ? Will be a great centerpiece for the rest of your squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think we all just discovered why RG veterans paint their arms white: it looks awesome when they're covered in the blood of heretics. Now be quiet, haters. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cypher 89 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 how!!!?? just a quick run through of the process i went through to get this effect. the pose and join of the miniature was really simple and i was surprised how strong it held, i started at the bottom( traitors legs) got them glued onto the base at an angle as i needed to create a good angle as a counter balance for the raven guard, once dry i took the traitors torso and cut a hole in its chest where i wanted the lighting claws to enter him, then glued it to the legs. Next i took the lighting claws and put them in the chest, i did no cutting of the claws at this point as i wanted to use them as a pin into the other model, coated them with superglue, inserted and it created a really strong bond, i then glued the rest the raven guard together once the claw and traitors chest join was dry, i got quite lucky at this point as the angle i glued the legs at and the angle of the lighting claw going into the chest created a really good balance. the blood effect was really easy, i took some wire and attached the traitors head to it , then also attached the other end the wire to the traitors torso, left this to dry in place, then proceeded to attach strands of the wife's hair between the claws and head to create the stringy effect, once dry i coated the hairs with pva glue, done this in a few different lairs to get the effect i got, then for the colour i used different inks from the gw old range as it gave a nice shine, i painted the blood khorne red once dry i put the inks on i had mixed up, formula i use is, brown ink, red ink and flesh , this gives me a good choice and range of colours from bright blood to really dark blood.

Brother Aiwass Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The RG dude is amazing, loving it. Also thanks for the blood squishy tutorial. However, I find the chaos guy a bit lackluster paintwise. I hope he is still unfinished. I'll be waiting for for more carnage :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher 89 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 on the chaos dude ive still gotta hightlight up and add a shoulder icon of some kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Very, very dynamic! I'd heard of people putting superglue on hair so it beaded and then painting it up as blood. It works with PVA glue too? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laborious Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Really, really excellent gore, very well done indeed. I do hope your wife volunteered her hair though and you didn't just stalk her round the house plucking strands out at random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cypher 89 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 oww yes best traitor is a dead one lol, i plan on making some more conversions like this one in the future in my armys, im currently gathering bitz for a big conversion project, ill be making a ultrasmurfs tyrannic war army list lead by the Chaplin special character, i plan on using the above technique for lots of gory tyrannic deaths, but instead of blood effect im going to use the new nurgles rot technical paint coming out soon from GW.

cypher 89 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 so ive done a little test model using OLS for my talons pilot in the cockpit heres the results so far. http://i.imgur.com/43xrwXR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/I3zOv7G.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wkrPiL6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zqtvdH4.jpg ONE THING IM UNSURE ON IS THE PILOTS LENSES AND HOW TO DO THEM REGARDING THE OLS HITTING HIM FROM THE PANEL all comments and advice welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 That will look cool with the cockpit top on. Do you plan on doing more with the control panel screens? Kicking off that much light, I think they need to be painted much, much brighter. As for the rest, while I love the stark contrast, since the cockpit is clear there should be some ambient/more natural lighting in some spots. Particularly the areas where the bright light from the front wouldn't be hitting, like his shoulder pauldrons towards the back. And I think his eyes should still be the same color as the rest of your army IF you go with the idea that they glow with their own internal light. If they are just reflective, glass/like lenses than they should maybe catch an even more intense OSL affect. Maybe a diagonal or crescent, hard-edge slash of green would look cool. Like you're catching a mirrored reflection, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
