Flint13 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Heinrich point +1. I suppose it comes to noone's surprise that this was just the thing I was in my workshop fixing. Funny how that tiny detail was starting to bug me Praetor/Sevatar take #2! ... Praetotar?... Sevatator? Eh whatevs... new digs! http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA020023_zps14a438aa.jpg And the new shoulder. I fiddled around with the old one for awhile, but couldn't really find anything to do with it that I particularly liked, so I defaulted to my normal solution. Stick a SoH part on it! http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA020024_zpse5698b15.jpg At first I thought it looked a bit large, but I'm starting to like it now. When I began building marines, I tried for a consistent match on the shoulder pads. Now I kinda like that "lop-sided" look Besides... that's his duelin' arm! Huh... I just realized my jetpack Sevrin Loth infiltrated his way into that last shot. **EDIT** Holy crap Heathens and Heinrich in the same day! @Heathens - see above. He is a bit messy, I'll be sure to wash him up a bit before the primer goes on! And thanks for the constructive crits. I'll admit I learned a few things from your awesome Iron Warriors.

deathspectersgt7 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Outstanding!!! The pose looks great. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/2/#findComment-3511683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The new shoulderpad looks much better. He's rocking skulls on his beltline anyway, so no loss on trophies :) . Â Any reason you're keeping the purity seal on his right leg? Oath of moment, maybe? Â Overall, he's looking great. I'm glad my humble work can inspire you. Looking forward to paint, Flint. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/2/#findComment-3511835 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Oh wow, thanks for all the positive replies, guys! Of course, feel free to let loose with a little criticism as well. Already managed to fix that little anti-grav skull issue. @Heathens - Thanks for the crit! I admit, I'm not a great painter, so I tend to avoid it until friends or the girlfriend finally peer pressure me into it. As for his seal, I love the idea of "twisted nobility and honor" that some takes on the Nightlords have. Something of a lawful evil. I have a few of those sprinkled around my company as little oaths of moment. My Nightlords just have less "honor and ideal" oaths and more "I'll vow to murdercate the *hell* out of those guys," types of oaths @DeathSpectre - Thanks! @Tanith and Wicced - Thanks and shoulderpad seconded! For today, I have two for you all! Firstly, my legion champion. Also where the rest of the most awesome SoH parts went... http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA030024_zpsd9492657.jpg Helmet close up http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA030023_zps0ac43677.jpg And from the back http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA030025_zps60716c72.jpg And the penultimate member of the command squad bodyguard. Also probably the most ambitious conversion in the group so far. http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA030027_zpsa6962df7.jpg His axe is kinda big compared to the rest of them. Maybe to counterbalance his combi-plasma http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA030029_zps24f8c8cc.jpg Combi plasma! http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA030030_zpsdb635174.jpg And... wow... haha, I *love* how much of those little messy details come out when you turn on Macro-mode. http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA030028_zps967557dd.jpg Again, thanks for all the compliments and help so far!

batu Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 They are all very cool mate ! I love how much character they have. I don't like the combi gun on the last guy, it is too large for me.

Oojamaflip Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 These are looking great, I'm always jealous when I see people working with the SoH models, no matter how they're using them. Â Sorry to go back a bit though, but isn't that a SoH Cthonian symbol on the shinguard of the first guy?

Flint13 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Wow, thanks for all the awesome positive replies so far guys! I should have one of the two squad members left up either today or tmrw.  @Chaplain - Ugh, tell me about it. I swear I spend just as much time cleaning up wayward glue and missed xacto knife cuts as I do building the little guys in the first place.  @batu - I know what you mean. He is *HEROIC* scale, but it does look a little heavy doesn't it? I'm torn so far. To be fair, it is converted from a tartaros terminator's combi-bolter, as I was too lazy/broke at the time to special order a few sternguard combi-plasmas.  @Knight of the Raven - Thanks! I try, as does Ace, apparently ^_^  @Ace Debonair - Thanks, I was worried a bit that they were a bit large, but I like the aesthetic now that I see them all together.  @skillingspree - They are from the new-ish Catalan Reaver squad from Forgeworld. I hope this doesn't make folks on here hate me a bit, but I got this pack of five for free from Forgeworld... it went something like this:  Me- "Hi Forgeworld, I ordered a Castallex robot from you a week ago, and I just got the order today. It looks like you sent me a pack of Sons of Horus and a terminator powerfist set instead." Forgeworld- "We are very sorry for the packaging mistake. We are re dispatching the order immediately with express shipping. Please keep the old package as an apology for the inconvenience."  same thing happened with a warpfire dragon a few months back. So I'm putting them to good use. I can't complain about costs from Forgeworld really... they've sent me quite a bit of free stuff accidentally over the last year.  @Balthamal & Dark Rage - Thanks guys! I'm trying to argue myself into painting them as we speak.  @Oojamaflip - It is. I was hoping shaving off a few bits would leave me with something that looked less like a Cthonian glyph and more like generic "edging" but I think I'm going to have to slice it all the way off. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/2/#findComment-3514990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Morning folks!  Something a tad new today. It's my goal to eventually have at least one of all of the centurion options present in Betrayal, of course with a little evil Nightlordy twist. I've already got one Legion Champion above, so here's my take on a slightly less popular option.  Everyone, please welcome Brother-"Redemptor" Vakariel http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA070032_zps20878c59.jpg  BAM! Vigilator. Complete with legion iconography, trophy helmets and Nostraman glaive-axe.  http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA070033_zps867642a9.jpg  I feel like he is only 75% done though... He's missing something somewhere,  I just can't place it.  http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA070034_zps9eb541e4.jpg  Feel free to let loose with helpful suggestions with what can be done to improve him a bit!

Noctus Cornix Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Meaty bits, gore, and some remnants of a spinal cord coming from the Centurion helmet under the crook of his arm. Â I would suggest you do some adjustments to his pose. As his is a static model with the legs and torso as one, you have his left foot hanging sort of half way on the ground. I would recommend you cut out the foot and then repose it. A little green stuff and that should look right as rain. Another recommendation is the axe arm. I can tell that you're going for a relaxed calm and cool badass pose but the axe arm is too seized up. I would recommend you push the arm back just ever so slightly and then turn the hand slack so its arched downwards, then fill the gap with some greenstuff to make it look like soft armour joints. Lastly is the helmet. Like I said before, since you're trying to go for that calm pose, and given the weight of the model's direct, you should arc his head slightly his right shoulderpad, then turn it so he's looking off to his left, not seeming to really care about the two Champions of the Emperor that he's slain. Three helmets all looking in the same direction just seems off and makes the direction of the model look completely asymmetrical. Â Aside from those adjustments that I think would really help the overall model, I think you've got a really solid piece right hear and I look forward to seeing him done. Just my two cents.

Flint13 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh wow, yeah. Good points, thanks Noctius! Alrighty, the greenstuff is still *Super* messy, but this should give a better idea. Mk, take #2 More relaxed overall... http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA070008_zps5b00fb87.jpg "Huh... I think I see another guy I should decapitate..." http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA070009_zpsd1b4f2fe.jpg Tiny spine nubbin' for thematic purposes! http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/Flint1324/PA070010_zpsca6896f7.jpg How's that looking now?

Noctus Cornix Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Much better, in my opinion. I would only say perhaps center his head just a bit further in. You're going for a more casual pose, correct? So I think it would be better if you make his pose more casual. At that far to the left, it seems like he's straining to get that 90o angle. Try more of a 45o or 60o. Â Just my two cents.

Olis Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I reckon you should do the Dark Angels.

Flint13 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hmm... I was originally thinking an angel collection of both the dark and blood variety ^_^ Â But I'm thinking when I paint his cloak black (like the recon squad on forgeworld) that a dark angel helmet would get lost in all the black. Â Now I'm thinking of making it a Terra in the Fall collection and going blood angel/imperial fist. Â Thoughts?

Kol Saresk Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Ooh, very nice. My only complaint is that the pics in the first post aren't working. For trophies, I actually want to say White Scars. The sheer white would contrast so well. But Imperial Fists get a thumbs up to. The Sons of Dorn need to be bloodied.

Brother Aiwass Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Typical and hate-able enemies of ours are the Bloody Angels, Imperial Fisters, the Ravens and Ultrasmurfs. As well as the Dark Angels IIRC. In different timelines, that is.
