Forté's creations: Started Crimson Fists (pg 67)

[Barabbas Sogalon]

I was a little worried when I first saw the colour scheme several pages back, but after seeing it on the models I must say it's nothing less than awesome. Fits the slaaneshi perfectly. 

[The Nephilim]

Looking good. Even if they do kinda look like Slaaneshi Thousand Sons. ;)

 

 

 

Just poking fun.

+++[session 6]+++

 

Time for a bit of an update after spending two sessions on the main turquoise colour (which still needs at least two more highlights till I'll be happy with it). Glad I decided that there's going to be a lot of variation in colours in this Slaanesh army. Painting so much of one would drive me mental.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Added bonus...the Forgefiend/ Maulerfiend kit arrived today. That things a bit of a beast and not decided on forge or mauler yet so may see if I can do it as either. Also, the spawn thoughts have been growing so I may take a mini break from armour and work on those before tackling the Noise Marines 

thats how i felt doing the call to chaos comp, i was close to jacking it in on the last few days. 

 

have you seen that iron warriors army in whit dwarf last year? i think the guy put the cannons on the shoulders of the fiend so he can use it as both, and it would look brutal with your painting :D

[Forté]

Will have to track it down. Seen a fair few through Google.

[Natanael]

Very nice. The scheme is really coming along. I like it.

[Ace Debonair]

That is one really nice blue, although I think I see what you mean about going mad from painting lots of it.

That would be pretty apropos for a scion of Slaanesh though, wouldn't it?

That's a fair point.

 

Put like that, Forte, maybe you should try painting everything blue all at once!

[Forté]

Noooooo...... Couldn't anyway. Don't have enough ;)

[Forté]

:cuss I painted the trim on two raptors last night using the planned nauseating blue and I'm not happy with it. Doesn't really stand out.

 

Now, I could go with black. But that is too typical of chaos and I'm using it on weapons. Metallic is another option. But I'm already using gold on the shoulder trim.

 

What I'm thinking is a pastel/ almost white trim. Possibly using a different base colour for each squad as if it's the unit marking.

 

Any thoughts or ideas?

 

And I've decided that the Forgefiend/ Maulerfiend will be next. The kit just keeps taunting me.

[Natanael]

White is quite in tune with the heresy-era Emperors Children, and I Think it would work well with the rest of your colours. I'd go with White.

[Ace Debonair]

White or pastelly-off-white gets my vote. It's got to be worth a try at least!

[Flint13]

I'll third that. White sounds like it would stand out quite well, but still be definitively Emperor's Children-esque. 

 

Also, I know what you mean about that Maulerfiend. The kit is pretty awesome, and I could only resist playing with mine for a couple of days. Ended up as a pretty awesome K'daii destroyer for my chaos dwarves ^_^

[Forté]

Still not fully decided whether it will be Forge or Mauler though. But it will be in the Mauler position and have flayed skin added. Maybe the odd blade and spike too. Few trophies maybe too.

[Doghouse]

Fantastic stuff, these are coming together nicely now. Just found this thread and I've read it start to end and there is nothing here I don't like, the colouring and sculpting are especially nice. Keep at it. :tu:

Wow. Thank you. Been seeing your work for quite a while so I take this as a high compliment.

[Flint13]

He sounds reserved, but on the inside, he's totally nerd salivating that Doghouse showed up ^_^

 

Can't wait to see the mauler/forgefiend!

[Slave to Darkness]

i cant wait to see anything new :)

[Forté]

i cant wait to see anything new :)

Soon. Had a few really tired days which doesn't help when painting at night. It helps when your eyes can focus :tu:

[Slave to Darkness]

pffft. i cant focus and my stuff looks epic :D

[Forté]

Just a little something to get me motivated.

[Ace Debonair]

Whoa, that's crazy.

 

That creature looks so messed-up, and wrong, and perfect for the this warband.

[Forté]

Just wish that creature was my creation. May have to see what I can do and push myself.

[deathspectersgt7]

It would look cool like the rest of your stuff!!.  

[Flint13]

... that makes me physically uncomfortable.

 

Must be on the right track!
