Savage Midnight: Armored Up an Rolling Heavy for ETL-Pg.109

Recommended Posts

Guys, girls, wanna see something really cool?

 

Just like a college dean, I've totally had a portrait done :d

 

Through a prodigious number of selfies (seriously, so many selfies) my bestie Priokoksik did an awesome job at a flattering interpretation of grimdark me. Since everyone knows my favorite human of the 30k setting is hands down, Lotarra Sarrin, the only possible acceptable take on me in the dark future *had* to be a starship captain. Thus, I give you Captain Flint Tredicem of the VIII Legion strike Cruiser Gleeful Genocide

@ Dantay - Haha, sounds like just the emotions a good interpretation of Lheor should inspire.

 

@ Larkyn - Thanks!

 

@ AngryPantz - Always appreciate hearing it.mit actually took far less time than I thought it would after I figured out how I wanted to do the bronze.

 

@ Kreig - oh yay, glad to hear it! I feel like it's my best bronze/brass to date.

 

@Firepower - Ah, that right pauldron. It's actually a terminator pad from Lord Zhufor (of whom I have six, which I've used for nothing beyond the badass terminator helm). There is a detailed planetoid between the fangs that didn't show up quite as well as I was hoping it would.

 

The red is actually super simple. Nothing beyond a base, layer color and a wash.

 

@ Vesper - I hope he holds up to the hype. He may end up a little shorter than I was hoping for, but I think he's coming along nicely so far.

 

@ Midnight - Glad to hear it! It's actually a helm from the Night Lords terror squad with a Skullcrusher crest from the WoC in fantasy.

 

@ JackDaw - No worries, bestest hobby-bro :D

 

I'm glad Lheor comes off as bulky and agressive as I intended. The only thing I'm a tad upset over is that I spent a ton of time painting the flesh of his bare left arm and it barely shows :(

 

@ Atia - Thanks, girl! Oh goodness... The Knight is so highly anticipated. I hope he holds up when I actually finish him.

 

@ Sanguinious - of course I had to sneak 8th legion bits in there, it's in the blood :D

 

And that's exactly why I like Lheor as a character. He's from a Khornate devistator squad. How cool is that?

 

Hydra - That's supposedly the mark of a good conversion, right? Hard to tell that he isn't stock ^_^

Ha, I see what you did there.

Lheorvine is freakishly cool!

 

like the portrait as well.

 

for someone that hasn't read the talon of horus yet, is the ragged knight a big character in it or what?

 

dare i hope you will make abaddon out of his terminator armour? (really liked the portrait of him from the book)

"Can you hear them ROAR the names of the honored Gladiators of old? Can you hear them shriek for the spilling of blood and the taking of heads?"

"Ah... to be counted among those vaunted few... for your clan, your kills, for your name howled into the dark by the blood-drunk hordes... it's the only way to achieve true immortality."

@ Forte - Thanks! I feel like I am getting a little more confident. Glad to hear it kinda shows.

@ Recon - Haha, exactly what she was going for.

@ Sanguinious - I do try to be punny when I can get away with it.

@ Lokkorex - Glad to hear! The Ragged Knight is a Khornate daemon "somewhere between a wingless bloodthirster or a powerful hearald," that the main character uses in the beginning of the novel. I won't spoil anything for you, but suffice to say it gets dicey (in so many ways) and it cements Telemachon Lyras (the Emperor's Children astartes I'll do somewhere down the road) as an absolute hardass.

@ Kriegs - Haha, its anime style tongue.png

I am going to crawl back into my hole. That champion is a superb work up of one of my favorite models, and I picked up this thread after my posting this evening.

I've just spent several weeks on my Midnight version and i feel like I've just started on this hobby. sad.png

Hiya guys. Long time, no love. Finally got a break in my non-digital life's aspirations to be Dr. Flint one day. Listened to Templar (barely edging out The Long Night for my favs audio drama) for the fifteenth time and decided to get some work done.

 

Here's my WiP take on Jubal Khan, Lord of Summer Lightning and the Swift Death That Comes with Laughter. Also he made fun of Sigismund this one time :D

 

 

Still have to smooth the connections btwn his topknot/helm and the Guan-dao, but otherwise, I think he's mostly there. Feel free to yell helpful things at him.

Looks pretty good.  How smooth is the connection of the cape to the back?  That looks like one of those things with a predestined messy finish.  

 

If only you updated this as often as you changed your avatar... ;)

Ummfff. Once again Flint, you are the undisputed God-Empress of modelling amazing heroes, Jubal looks so fantastic. I love the gigantic cloak of dramatic silhouette and that Guan Dao looks so badass. :)
