daemonclaw Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 OMG OMG you have actually done a ten man SQUAD and sir it was worth the wait as they look so cool together nice work bro i think we found your muse Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287730-we-die-on-our-feet-start-of-a-new-century/page/4/#findComment-3664971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Missed two updates! Argh. Very nice, very very nice...World Eater-y sorts. The full squad looks excellent, and looking forward to seeing how you tackle a Contemptor. Also, I didn't realise that you were using Tamiya paints, how'd you rate them - i've picked up a few odd colours over a period of time but i've never tried them on anything? I really like the redo on Sharn - for what it's worth I think both the upright and minor-tilt versions work. The whole balance issue is so minimal when you consider the whole model that it's unlikely to make much difference - i'd go with whichever you preferred. The axe is epic enough to be an Excoriator - i'm not sure how that works with a powerfist though? From a game PoV (and I may be wrong) presumably since it's two handed and unwieldy it wouldn't help that much to have a powerfist as a second weapon as you wouldn't get an attack in CC and it's strikes-last? From a purely rule of cool look its badass though! :D I guess the powerfist will be useful when fighting high T models or weapon "one-shot-ing" marine characters. Not to hijack your thread at all, but I thought i'd reply to your post on my plog directly if that's ok? As far as a multi-member plog, I thought it might be interesting to have a log for a few of the disparate HH logs that are about, and try and tie some of the concepts together. In short I thought a shared-fluff "Expedition Fleet" with a few legions crusading in the same-ish are of space might be interesting. And considering the various loyalties on show... Anyway if you'd be interesting in joining in then gimme a shout, I can see that the WE and BA could potentially be good rivals! - i'll be posting some preliminary fluff from an area of the Segmentum Ultima that i've used in my gaming groups 40K campaigns on my plog later.

Haha not bad eh, just gotta keep foccusdd now..cheers again mate. @November...again, cheers for replying and for nice comments..very appreciated. The Tamiya paints are from there enamel range...very nostalgic when you smell those buggers...takes you back to airfix spitfire days lol. For Capt Sharn..definitely rule of cool there..for some reason I have always put powerfists on my lead h.q models..and sometimes that has helped me out no end being able to powerfist demons upside the head..thanks again for your input on the build of him..mucho appreciated.. Replied on your thread regarding joint work as interested in seeing where this could go!

Augustus b'Raass Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Borther, the new axe head looks really good. I'm glad you appreciated my input. I really like it - though it seems pic 1 and pic 2 depict two different angels. If I had to choose, I would definitely go for number two. Of course, as November said, go with whatever YOU prefer. they're your models so YOu are the ultimate judge Regarding the little blood spray tut you gave in your response to me - the CHILD's toothbrush is because of the smaller hairs on the brush right (which make you able to aim better) Congrats on the full ten man sqaud. They look GREAT. Well done, sir.

chaplain mortis Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 @DSS7...thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment..big thumbs up to you. @Augustus b'Raass..cheers again mate for helping with ideas for the build of Sharn..always helps to have other people's perspectives on things.. Your right about using the childs toothbrush. .smaller bristles helps give you more control..not only that but kids toothbrushes have Softer bristles than adult ones...this helps by making the "flicking" of the blood more gentle...when tried with an adult brush it just dumps the blood in one go rather than make a "splatter"..hope this helps and thanks again for taking the time to reply!

chaplain mortis Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 About half way through this guy at the moment.. Was wondering if I should add a white decal to his left knee pad?

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 White decal is definitely a good idea. Nice work brother! I would straighten those antenna's though. Is this the master of signals? What's going to be in his right hand?

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Congrats on finishing him - he looks great. Better than great, actually. One nitpick I have is this (and I am only allowing myself to nitpick about this because your skill and the sense of realism in you models made me notice): the blood on his armour looks fresher than the blood on his axe, which doesn't make sense to me - it should be the other way around no? Or is this the light combined with the angle? Also I am torn: On the one hand I love your ETL progress because it means more pics of great models. On the other hand I hate your ETL progress because you're a WE and you're not contributing to the Chaos team.

Pyromancer Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nice model brother, the gold is very well done! I also like the realism you have created with your models, with the chipping and blood.

Knight of the Raven Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Dear god these french cancan dancers creep me out. They all look good.

chaplain mortis Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 @Daemonclaw..cheers again mate!..trying to crack through these to get on with more vows! @Raass...I would never class it as nitpicking mate...just glad your having a good look and taking an interest! ..regarding the blood. .its a combination of a few things..light and angle, and a sense of trying to go real with it..the blood on the axe is darker as is a greater quantity on it, were as the armour has just been splashed with old (darker) and fresh (lighter) ..the base colour makes a difference aswell..I did a lot of research on blood and its effects..gets very morbid very quick haha..and the best examples where pictures of butchers white aprons and the cleavers, knifes they use..lol probably trying for to much realism here.. And regards the ETL..my guys are chaos, they just dont know it yet haha..you could have pledged for the heresy forum! Cheers again for your comments Raass @Pyromancer...cheers again for taking the time to comment...gotta keep up the momentum with these guys as got more planned for the ETL! Cheers again @Knight of the raven..when you talk of your skills, are you referring to your painting or can-can dancing lol..but seriously thanks for taking the time to look and leave a comment. .very appreciated First of the termies done..as usual just needs basing and blooding Thanks for looking http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20140508_195131.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20140508_195146.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20140508_195208.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20140508_195155.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287730-we-die-on-our-feet-start-of-a-new-century/page/4/#findComment-3680088 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyromancer Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Nice termi, I think the cataphrsctii may be my favourite there are. On your blue areas, do you intentionally have them glossy? It is a somewhat unusual to see them like that is all.
