Soldier of Dorn Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Something about Ashur-Kai seems... off to me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think that it's the fact that I always viewed him, more than any other Space Marine, as more of a scholar and less of a warrior. He should be stooped and mystical, still a living weapon, but one past his prime. Your version is an amazing miniature (as always), but at least to me, it's not the White Seer. Now, on Lheor, he looks good. I will overlook the fact that you skipped his chest aquila because it's a nice model (people always seem to disregard that little detail about him), but other than that (and the above-mentioned skull helm), he's a perfect Firefist. Also, Valicar the Graven next. No one's done him.

Kol Saresk Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Wasn't the White Seer the albino? EDIT: I didn't realize Flint had finished him. I dunno, he looks like a decent cross between mystic and warrior with that "Moses parting the Red Sea" vibe he's got.

KrautScientist Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Lheor is looking great, Flint! I second the awesome idea of tackling the Ragging Knight next! I wouldn't even have thought of that... Valicar the Graven is that Iron Warriors chap minding that space station, right? He would be a very cool candidate as well! Heck, you should just build and paint the entire Dramatis Personae of the book and be done with it ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/103/#findComment-3994689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retributis Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Was browsing KrautScientist's awesome thread of Khorney goodness and came across this guy he made: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/3/22/697872-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Khorne%2C%20Khorne%27s%20Eternal%20Hunt%2C%20Kitbash.JPG Is it me or is that helm just made for Lheor?

Vesper Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Nice Lheor so far ! Not sure about his faceplate though. And great Ashur-Kai ! I'm hoping you have Sargon or Falkus next on your list of awesome stuff :).

SalvationOfReason Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Looks wonderful so far, liking Lgeor too. I don't really like how squat the legs look though. Maybe cut and reposition to make him stand up a bit. Also, even though it's a lovely chest piece, he does need the eagle. Where's the bird from btw?

Vesper Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The bird is Ashur-Kai's equivalent of Gyre. It's his familiar. I don't recall seeing it in any kit, though.

Daemon2027 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Ashur-Kai looks good very nicley painted, only nitpick would be the helm on the side looks a bit off. I think you could have placed it a little higher. But that's only a small thing. Lheor looks very badass, can't wait to see him painted.

SalvationOfReason Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Vesper- oh I've read the book. I had actually meant the model itself. Mostly because I wanted to use it for a similar thing.

Flint13 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Oh wow, it's been a little while. Well solace in the fact I haven't been idle. Thanks for all the awesome feedback on Ashur-Kai and Lheore. Speaking of whom...Just need to get a backpack sorted and he should be good to go. Feel very free to yell helpful things at him before he catches primer http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/913/rMGg3y.jpg After I get his backpack sorted and him all dolled up in blood and brass, I'll get on to my next project, the Ragged Knight! I think I have a decent conversion idea sorted out for him. @ Recon - Thanks! I really have a thing for out of place World Eaters, so Lheor kinda spoke to me. My very first XII legion models were a librarian coven after all @ Firepower - Haha, I will keep that in mind. Ragged Knight coming up right after this! @ Kizzdougs - (First, I want you to know my Ipad keeps wanting to autocowreckt your name to kiss doug, just fyi) Second, how does this skull helm look? Just had it laying around since it's my least favorite of the Terror Squaddies. Thanks! I am surprised that my green mini-osl comes out hella better than my blue, but I've been doing the green far less often... @ Black_out - Will do! I dunno if my modeling skills are up to in-action skull regurgitation, but his base will definately have a few gross daemon-hairball bits @ Firepower x2 - I know right? @ Psycho - I can see that. I tried for the scholarly aspect as much as possible with the scroll/book combo, staff and as passive a pose as I could get him in. How does Lheor look with his brand new chest aquila? Valicar is a pretty good choice... I was going to try for him and the machine mistress in one fell swoop. @ Kol - Indeed. I painted him the same way I do my true-kin eldar's skin tones and with red eyes. How'd he come out? @ K-Sci - The entire Dramatis Personae may be a bit of a steep order, but I'll do my best. I know I wanted to do a lot of the lesser focus characters... Not going to lie, I've already got the parts set aside for Tzah'q @ Midnight - Thanks! I'll bring him out as soon as all his pieces arrive. @ Retributis - Ah yeah... I really want that Khorne set for all the amazing conversion bits it would provide. A little bit out of my price range at the moment though. @ Vesper - How does his new skull-helm sit with you? Oh Sargon is definitely on the short list, don't you worry @ Firepower x3 - Will do! @ Salvation - How's he look now? Haha, I don't exactly remember where the bird is from... its something from the fantasy range, but it's been kicking around my bits box for literal years. Lheor looking a little more fluff-precise now? @ Vesper x2 - Yep yep, Tokugra. Still clueless on its origins though. @ Hydra - Ah yeah, he does look a little like he's about to drop it. I can fix that pretty easily though. Hows updated Lheor looking? @ Salvation x2 - Apologies I can't be a little more specific... I'm thinking its from the Ogre kingdoms range... like a crow that sits on a flagpole or some such.

KrautScientist Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Simply beautiful! And very true to the artwork now (in fact, I prefer the somwhat less cluttered caedere remissum helmet crest you have chosen). Almost makes me want to convert my own Lheor, damn you! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/103/#findComment-4010118 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzdougs Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Haha, I'll know who you're talking to if I ever see 'kiss doug' :P The skull helm is looking pretty awesome! The actual helmet itself looks a little narrow in comparison to the Khorne icon head piece, but there isn't much you can do about that. Looking forward to seeing him painted :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/103/#findComment-4010337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 In regards to the future possibility of a mid-regurgitation pose, it could be rather simple, if you instead make it immediately-post regurgitation. If he's hunched or low in some way, having a long tongue hanging down to or nearly to the ground beside a corroded helmet, along with some gratuitous vomit-style painting, will get the point across fine I think. I'm gonna guess you're already planning to make him a throne of butchered marines. If that's the case, giving him a lousy slouching posture would be enough to pull that off. But a lot of this really depends on how big you make him. The book seems to put him somewhere between a Bloodthirster and Bloodletter in size, leaning towards the former.

Flint13 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Evening folks! Nothing super exciting, but here's Lheore's backpack and rear shot. Going to sand the GS a bit to neaten as soon as its dry, but hopefully I can pull off that gross daemon flesh (albeit a much smaller amount) that I used with Argel Tal a few pages back http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/905/Wo0YwH.jpg Replies! @ K-Sci - Thanks! That's pretty steep praise coming from the master of Khorne Konversions :D Yeah, while I absolutely love the artwork of Lheor, the horned headdress thing is just a bit too big for my taste. I thought this slight more reserved helm could work while retaining Khorne-ness. @ Kiss Doug Kizzdougs - Funny enough, the NL helm is the exact same width as the 'crusher helm that it replaced. It was actually a super simple conversion to clip out the old one and just slot the new terror squad helm in place. That being said, I think I'm going to GS the join there to make it look a little more solid. @ Atia - Thanks girl! Glad to hear my po-mo interpretation helps :D @ Firepower - Glad to hear it! I'm hoping the pile of dead stuff he's standing on will help with any height discrepancies. Truth be told, the size thing was what was causing the most problems when I sat down to try to figure out how I wanted to build the ragged knight. Some of the Khorne Wrathmongers from fantasy looked the part, but were too small. The FW Khorne daemon prince is something that would probably be closer to size, but not heavily armored enough and I'm not a good enough GS sculptor to armor him up yet. Anywho, I'm going to try to use this bro as a base since he's bigger than a Wrathmonger, suitably daemony and Khorne as all hell, then use the dead pile of marines to boost him vertically a bit. Obviously going to loose the goofy axe flails though. Plus that sweet topknot will give me a head start on Telemachon :D http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/673/CzLOnA.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/103/#findComment-4010423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hm, gonna replace the head with something more demony? The whole regurgiskull thing probably won't fly with what he's got going on now. But he's in such an action pose that puking (a fairly static activity in most cases) probably won't be something you could easily portray regardless. Still, I do love that model.

Augustus b'Raass Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Wow, I love this guy, Flint. That helmet with the crest is simply stunning. I should really start reading more, as your recent work is another example of how BL novels can inspire totally awesome mini's.:tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/103/#findComment-4010470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 'That's for lying to me,' said the World Eater. 'It was nothing like teleportation.' In the middle of reading The Talon of Horus and read that line earlier. Lheor is now my favorite character. He's going to look sweet painted up.

Flint13 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Morning all! Lheore is coming along quite well, his final matte coat is drying as we speak. In the meantime... I am now equipped to build what may be the most challenging model of my lil project. Here lies a (piecemeal) Ragged Knight :D http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/911/bgvfEm.jpg Replies! @ Firepower - Well, what I'm thinking (if my GS and surgical xacto skills are up to it) is to remove Skarr's chin and graft that bloodletter's bottom jaw and tongue into place under the helm. I may have to stick to a pile of gross body parts :D @ Augustus - Thanks! Lheor is tied with Telemachon for my favorite of the ToH gang, so I wanted to do him justice. @ Krieg - I feel like Lheor fulfills the same "knock the main character down a peg" roll that Xarl did in the Night Lords trilogy. As such, I love them both bunches. @ Salvation - Glad to hear it! I had it just lying around, but I'm surprised it was such a good fit (both inside the Khorne crest and thematically). Hope your search yields helpful results!

Firepower Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hmm, well, if you're gonna go the Violater-jaw method, you may want to look at the Lizardmen Temple Guard sprues from WHFB. There are a couple of bitz in there which are just long jawbones. One on either side, 'opening' horizontally, a simple greenstuffed flap serving as a 'chin,' and a long, freaky tongue hanging out...simple in theory. Sorta like making a man-sized Mawloc. Considering the guy is swallowing Marines nearly whole, and that he's a demon to boot, a somewhat disproportionate, freakish set of chompers seems like something you could get away with. By contrast, the demon head there has a mouth that's roughly the same size, just open rather than closed.
