Flint13 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Finished up the right pauldron for Thunder Daughter. I'm curious as to what photo sorcery causes the straight lines I painted to look so wonky :p http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/743/f3u01t.jpg @ DSS7 - Thanks buddy! Glad to see you back in ^_^ @ Barabbas - Pretty simple. Netflix, a foam roller and sushi. @ Balth - Can't wait to see them. We should totally have a raptor-off! @ Quixus - I've debated that myself. I really wanted to keep the Orange/reds minimum, but I'm considering it regardless. It would jump out a lot better. @ sheep - haha, I'll take that as a compliment. Is bastard gender-neutral as a noun, or am I technically something like a bastardess? @ Daemon2027 - glad to hear it looks decent. Seems suspiciously good looking proportional to how simple it is.

Brother Ambroz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 That front shot is awesome, shows off some nigh perfect highlights. Well done! Edit: raptor that is, phone didn't load the knight pics till after I posted haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The plates look great. I wouldn't worry to much about the wonky lines... I have similar issues with the camera here at work, where I face all my guys in the same direction, but the outer guys in the pic have "moved", so to get them all in a line I have to have them almost in a semicircle. Not sure if its an Olympus or Nikon I am using here, Maybe its the same with you? Plus its curved plates. The lighter colours are a really nice counterpoint to the darker scheme of Jackal Dawn....

Augustus b'Raass Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Wow on the night Raptor! Regarding any pre-finish feedback: where's his amrour's lightning??? Regarding the knight pouldrons: I'm still seriously jealous of your trim metal technique! It works so well with the clours you'r putting down on the actual armour. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Raptor off? I've just had vivid images off the Run DMC video for It's Like That but with chainglaives and flaying knives included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That Night Raptor went "WOMP" right into my mind :wub: EDIT: Also liking the crisper highlights and generally slightly higher quality painting you're displaying lately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackDaw Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Raptor is looking sweet, cant wait to see a whole squad of those gents up and running. And stabbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Debonair Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Digging the new pauldron's colours. It's a bit of a departure from the usual Night Lords shades, but none the worse for it. Top stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Morning Guys! So, what I've been up to recently, getting ready for Call of Chaos this year. Extra special thanks go out to everyone who helped with constructive feedback to help me tweak and adjust these guys over the past week or so. Please welcome my little Slaaneshi Warband, The Cult of the Fanged Blossom! Terminator Squad: Razored Orchid http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/540/dDrWjU.jpg Combat Support Squad: Barbed Hyacinth http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/661/JSMtQr.jpg Fire Support Squad: Jagged Violet http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/912/2b5iKX.jpg And their Warlord, Belucifariel the Serrated Seraph; Annointed Atreyan of Slaanesh; The Angeline Holocaust http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/910/SgrUvY.jpg Replies! @ DSS7 - Will do! @ Tanith Ghost - Thanks! I feel like I "get" how highlighting works now @ Daytay - Fun story, I've been using my Ipad air to take pics recently. I'm still getting hilariously inconsistent results, so I think it's more my crap technique than the hardware @ Augustus - No worries, the raptor will have lightning aplenty! The trim is actually hella easy. Just a light gold color, edge highlighted with silver and washed sepia. @ Balth - Haha, excellent! I approve. @ BB Ludo - WHOOP der it is! Haha, glad to hear the paint work is visibly improving. @ Jackdaw - I'll do my best to keep it timely. @ Ace Debonair - Yep, I wanted something as a pretty (sansa) stark departure from my normal dark blues and blacks... so I went Ice blues and whites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Good: These are excellent kitbashes! Love the Kefka/Sephiroth-style chaos lord! The toenails on the Termie champ are a nice touch. Bad: Slaaneshi? Aw man, Flint, come on ;) I can only ever get two of the photos at most to show up at the same time, btw -- must be the B&C's machine spirit itself rebelling against the sheer wrongness of these guys ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm at maximum Likes already :\ Really like your Warlord. I'm assuming you were inspired by that BA Conversion that looks similar? Edit: Namely this one : http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286986-lucifer-first-of-the-host-blood-angels-chapter-master/ I was also kinda hoping for "<synonym for sharp> Petunia" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Ooph, that is a nice-looking lord you got right there. And like the Kraut, totally put me in mind of Final Fantasy VI/VII villains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yes! I love these. Good old-fashioned kit bashes tot he max. :D Well done Flint - I like the champions especially. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 A bolter with a power sword? A plasma pistol with a lightning claw? It's supposed to be the other way round! It's so unoptimized! It's so kxdfds kotr.exe has stopped working. Would you like to reboot? - Good kitbashes. A shame there's still no updated (i.e. Dark Vengeance chosen style) chaos marine box.

Noctem Cultor Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Great work on all the Night Lords in the thread, such grim character suits the Legion well. The Winged Angel of Death there has a very Sephiroth feel to him that makes me edgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marqol Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The warlord is just all types of awesome. Don't get me wrong, the squads are great, but the warlord leaves me speechless. I don't even know how to describe the awesomeness of a winged chaos lord chopping everyone up Edward Scissorhand style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Oh wow, thanks for all the replies guys. Totally my favorite part of a new project Firstly, here's a slightly better picture of the Serrated Seraph, on what will probably be his actual base. It amuses me to no end that the daylight bulb gives him a little angelic glow up top http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/674/3z0h9w.jpg Replies! @ K-Sci - Thanks! Believe it or not, I've only *really* recently started to embrace the idea of Chaos marks in 40k. My first was with Khorne though, so that should count for something However, on the other side of the fence in square-bases, I have a Warriors of Chaos army of mixed Khorne and Slaanesh, called the Cult of Blood Red Romance @ Slipstreams - I really like Lil Loser's work, but I have never seen that badass model before. I was more thinking the mythological higher choir of angels, like Alan Rickman. A buddy mentioned that traditionally, Seraphim were always pictured with three pair of wings, and six is the number of Slaanesh... Thus an entire little warband idea was born. @ Cormac - Thanks! Funnily enough, I've only every played Final Fantasy X-2: The J-Pop Experience. @ Augustus - If you think these are "old-fashioned" wait until you see the paint scheme I'm going with, haha! @ Knight of the Raven - That totally made my evening. I do feel the pain of not having new Dark Vengeance marines in anything other than mono-pose. They are such cool minis, but they don't fit in with *anything* @ Heinrich - Thanks buddy! I'm glad he seems so popular so far. Gotta give your awesome Word Bearers a little competition this CoC @ Firepower - You, Sir, win the pun award for this page @ Forte - I might remember something along those lines, haha. Thanks for the assistance! They might not quite be Devine Flayer level (with all the wacky mirror toe-claw goodness that entails) yet, but I'm working at it. @ Noctem Cultor - Thanks! Its always nice to hear that my Night Lords have entertained and kept the character of the Legion intact. @ Marqol - Full of win(g)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The leader looks really cool. Have you considered angling his head slightly up the way as if in rapture/ascension? Either that or looking slightly down as if looking over his adoring devotees/ acolytes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomus Sardauk Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Really like your Warlord. I'm assuming you were inspired by that BA Conversion that looks similar? Edit: Namely this one : http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286986-lucifer-first-of-the-host-blood-angels-chapter-master/ Aye, an easy assumption to make given the similarities, and who wouldn't take inspiration from such a madly brilliant model? Though that said when I saw him my mind went more to our own brother Greyall's Emperor's Children Raptor; Vinicius, To Whom You Bow. @ Slipstreams - I really like Lil Loser's work, but I have never seen that badass model before. I was more thinking the mythological higher choir of angels, like Alan Rickman. A buddy mentioned that traditionally, Seraphim were always pictured with three pair of wings, and six is the number of Slaanesh... Thus an entire little warband idea was born. Mmhmm, the modern pop culture interpretations of angels are actually immensely inaccurate. Angels only took the "winged human" form in biblical myth when descending to Earth because their true forms were too vast and terrible for a human to comprehend, it would literally destroy their minds. Even then they still had to tell the human in question the whole "be not afraid, I'm an angel from heaven" schtick before they calmed the feth down at the sight of the toned-down, but still borderline-terrifying celestial being. Anyhoo, back on topic, that is a very impressive model Flint, I can't imagine how difficult getting those wings in position must have been. Though one nitpick I have (although this is probably more just down to taste) is that I don't really feel like the helmet fits with the rest of the model, the Mk.III just feels out of place, ya'know?
