Huh, didn't actually notice the christmas feel until i read your post Flint.

 

Them Wings are beautiful.

You better not sleep you better not cry you better watch out I'm telling you why, Raum and argal tal are hunting you down

Well, there's definite improvement, so kudos for that :tu:

 

However, I still think that you can make that transition even smoother, but I won't bother you with that if you're satisfied with the current results. Besides, I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunities in the future for you to improve your blending skills ;)

I never seen that backpack before that's why I like it. lol

Also after your Christmassy comment I looked at the pic(the greenstuff part didn't click in) and thought to myself "Yeah those wings look green"...then I realized what you meant. Damn my color deficiency. wacko.png

@ Conn - Ok, five replies in before a Failbaddon joke. That's pretty remarkable restraint biggrin.png

I am nothing if not the picture of self-restraint.

 

I have tons of them, but I have yet to find a helm that looks like one Konrad would wear. Any suggestions for a starting point?

What, I gotta do everything? I'm honestly at a loss, since I don't paint or do any modelling. I'm not really all that familiar with models.

 

I don't know, I gotta agree with with Atia that he needs a skull helmet, but not like Sev's. Sev is of a nameless alien breed (or is it Ork? I kinda forgot), but xenos are beneath Curze. Nothing other than a human skull could serve for one such as the Night Haunters, of all the death-mask wearing Night Lords.

 

The simplest skull-helm that I know of that could work is the Dark Vengeance Chappy, if you happen to have him handy. It would need some work, and might be too small, but maybe?

If you want to go crazy . . . Do you have any Necron heads? Do you have another Sanguinary death mask? Slice off their faces, slap the Necron on the death mask head, smooth it out with some greenstuff, and stick it on Konrad?

 

 

Ooh, ooh! Forget all that. Alternatively crazy, you know those Mechanicum units with the smooth glass heads? Thallax, maybe? Borrow that idea, and give him a helm that appears to have a reflective surface. Like, maybe do that Necron thing but with that Mechanicum unit, on a more conventional helm? The Night Lords like their victims to look upon the visages of death in all its forms as they do their work. But the Night Haunter is far more pure than that. When their screams fill the air like a song, as their muscles strain helplessly against claws that gingerly, tenderly peel back skin from quivering flesh, the face they look upon is their own. 

 

Konrad Curze's (twisted) sense of justice is of retribution, even preemptively, of meeting sin with like sin. Of course he forces the damned to look upon their own corruption, as he carves into it.

Night Haunter Looks ace. Great work, Flint.

Your Argel Tal conversion is exellent. But i´m not sure about the paint job of the sword. Actual it looks dirty and unfinished. Maybe i´ll have to see it at the finished model...

Guys, girls... job's all done. Well, 'cept for the base biggrin.png

Replies!

@ Augustus - Thanks! I like the darker wings too. Seems more gloomy.

I was actually looking at a Catalan reaver helm last night. Might be something there.

@ Atia - I dunno, skulls are so over done biggrin.png

How's his sword and gunglaive look now?

@ Wicced - Haha, I noticed that. Cyrene was pretty slight, I imagine she didn't make too much of a dent in a Custodes blade biggrin.png

@ Hydra - Thanks! Still sorting through helms yet.

@ KBA - Thanks! I'm pretty sure Argel Tal is my favorite HH character too. Between First Heretic and Betrayer, he is just such a damn good tragic anti-hero. Hope I did him justice.

@ Forte - Appreciate it! How's the rest of him look?

@ Lokkorex - Throw enough things at a wall and eventually one will stick, haha.

@ Helter - Sweet. We should make a fan club.

@ Lokkorex x2 - Thanks! I spent probably as much time on the wings as I did the entire rest of the model.

@ Kurama - You get points for making me giggle.

@ Dos - Indeed I shall! Glad to hear there's a visible improvement.

@ Kreig - Fair enough! Heh, to be fair, they are purple-black, which I'm told is like green's arch nemesis.

@ Conn - Oh that isn't a bad idea! I think I've got a couple extra Thallax heads laying around I could play with.

@ Dark Bjoern - Glad to hear you like the Haunter. It's been awhile since I've painted something that big.

How do his weapons look now a little more dolled up?

@ Midnight - Hah, that's pretty big praise coming from you biggrin.png

@ Black_out - Then go make one! He was a silly easy conversion.

@ Kol - The Black Templar are totally known for slaughtering whole worlds. As long as they are xenos, heretics or witchlings. Or associated with any of the above.

 

For contextual reference, my company's strike cruiser is named the "Vindictive Genocide"

 

 

so like I said, they don't do it on whims. :P

Morning all! 

 

So for those that remember farther back than three pages or so (gosh knows I certainly don't) I tried my hand at painting one of the Mournival back in the Luna Wolf days. I was moderately amused with my take on Little Horus. So for the actual XVI Legion March event, I decided to give my favorite of the Mournival a go. He's still pretty WiP-y, so feel very free to yell helpful things at him ^_^

@ Kol - Indeed not! Takes a long ass time to bring together everything for a Crusade. You don't want to just go declaring them all willy nilly.

 

@ Forte - Can and will do!

 

 

Oh, my bad. Just to clarify...

 

This is my L'il Horus.

I was going to try and save him to paint for this March of Legions. That lasted all of about 30 seconds.

 

So this time around, I thought I'd try my favorite of the Mournival, Tarik Torgaddon (pictured dashingly above in WiP format ^_^ )

 

Replies!

 

@ Dark Bjoern - Thanks! Glad to hear it.

 

@ Fire Golem - Just Lil Horus and Tarik so far. They seemed so much more characterful than the crowd favorites ^_^

 

@ Recon - his arms are. I thought it would be fitting. His legs are a vanguard vet's and his torso & shoulder pads are from the tact marine box. I was aiming to imitate the pose of FW Loken, so I'm glad to hear it worked!

 

@ Augustus - Let's see, there's Horus Aximand, Tarik Torgaddon, Garvi Loken and Zeke Abbadon. I wanted models of Tarik and Aximand since the other half of the Mournival are so popular. I'm all about the popularity under dogs ^_^

Nice Little Horus! What's teh fourth guy's name again? And will you do him?

There's Loken, Horus Aximund, Torgaddon and Abaddon. After Istvaan III Loken and Torgadden are replaced with Kibre from the Justaerin and Grael Noctua.

Great work on Argel, his Custodes-spear is awesome :P 

 

Torgaddon is also great so far, not sure on the shoulders though (maybe Mk II or III could work better with his helmet?)

 

either way, can't wait to see him finished =)

Torgaddon is looking good the only slight criticism at this point is I think he's about a head too tall... tongue.png



Joking aside, I find your work inspirational and I'm almost tempted to try and build a Luna Wolf or two for this months March of the Legions...
