lamby Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Wow lamby. Your stuff is really coming along. Rare to see so much milliput use too. Thanks - the dark green is pure Greenstuff, the paler green is GS and milliput This is awesome! Where's that head from on the ax-wielder? Thanks - I think it's from the Chaos Lord on the Manticore? http://www.quickmeme.com/img/29/29db411914f980415f23fad69311c356278a6ab55117f4e7d939da2a934d4c4a.jpg What he said. Thanks! which brand of crackle did you use? ive not had results as good as that ! Tim Holtz Ranger Ink - it's fickle like all crackle - that was the third attempt to get it right.

-Brutus- Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The use of the crackle paint medium is brilliant. I think I might have steal that :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289554-the-wretched-sons/page/2/#findComment-3670324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamby Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Ok. I really need to try mixing my modelling putties. Hear good things about doing it. I use 50/50 GS/milliput (yellow) - the mix sets harder than plain GS, and it sand really well. The use of the crackle paint medium is brilliant. I think I might have steal that Thanks! Good luck with the crackle - it has a mind of its own...

lamby Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Over in my Inqu][sitor blog, the Swordsman Inigo 'Scarface' Montoya is finished and based but I need daylight to photograph him properly... tomorrow, I swear!!! So meanwhile, the new Wretched Sons Astartes with the working title of Hatchet went from this: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/13/612408-ugly1.jpg To this: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/13/612409-ugly2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289554-the-wretched-sons/page/2/#findComment-3685336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamby Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 So, Hatchet moves along slowly: - Press-copied the forearm of the Chaos Knight's arm - The original RH arm will be wielding the chain-axe - it was going to be a hatchet but I found this left over Cataphractii ax and it's too cool not to use - Completely managed to destroy the plasma pistol and hand I was going to use, thought I'd see what a bolter looked like but this one isn't cool enough, so it'll either be a plasma pistol (when I can source one) or a newer bolter with the hanging strap http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/20/614577-hatch3.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/20/614576-hatch2.jpg ... However, moments later, Hatchet is back to carrying a hatchet/ax instead of the chain-axe, because the chain-axe was too big for the way the right arm hangs... and I just realised the right arm isn't in these pics, so instead, here's the left forearm made by press-molding the right arm: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/23/615258-hatchet21.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/23/615259-hatchet22.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289554-the-wretched-sons/page/2/#findComment-3696181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamby Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Hatchet is all but completed, only shoulder pads - one of them stupidly complicated (why? WHY?) - and some minor detailing like knives and pouches to go! - I re-aligned the arm as it was drooping a bit, added the plasma pistol hand, and filled in the gaps with GS, a bit of sanding to blend and this arm will be done: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/24/615448-hatchet41.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/24/615449-Hatchet42.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/24/615450-Hatchet43.jpg Then Hatchet had a his ab-plate attached, and his hatchet arm added, and a small ridge to the rim of the torso - all these Wretched Sons are going to have different armour styles, and nothing too ostentacious since the crackle paint job (go back and look at Zamael the Helbrute) tends to eliminate spurious detail... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/26/616253-hatchet41.jpg And here's the shoulder pauldrons - the doctored Chaos pad is a little fiddly, but the WoC Knights pad with the GS pad almost defeated me! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/26/616254-hatchet44.jpg Thanks for looking!

lamby Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Meanwhile, finished off positioning Hatchet's shoulder pads, realised after taking these pics I'd forgotten to put his backpack on... Also, yes: his head is lopsided (not glued in yet for painting): http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/27/616605-hatchet51.jpg Random question: should I drill out the plasma pistol barrels? http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/27/616606-hatchet52.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/27/616607-hatchet53.jpg foamy248 and deathspectersgt7 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289554-the-wretched-sons/page/2/#findComment-3697707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamael is amazing, and that's probably the most thorough helbrute conversion I've seen. Thanks! - Zamael nearly broke me, both the modelling and the painting - 3 attempts! to get the final effect - but he was worth it!

lamby Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 *Moved from my Inqu][sitor blog... Something new to knock the cobwebs off the skills: another Wretched Sons true-scale Marine... with a difference: Recognise anything in this pile of bitz? http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/10/26/753296-gut1.jpg First up - let's mod those awful split toe-hoof thingies... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/10/26/753297-gut2.jpg Next, get rid of the ugly triple shoulder armour: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/10/26/753299-gut4.jpg And start work on some new armour for the tenta-shoulder: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/10/26/753298-gut3.jpg And now... Sliced off whatever that ugly face was on the left rear hip: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/11/756810-Gut2.jpg Added the pouch (cos even dudes with tentacles need places to put stuff...): http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/11/756811-Gut3.jpg Press-copied the gripping tentacle part: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/11/756812-Gut4.jpg If you hadn't picked it up from the 'tease' image earlier, the main 'arm' tentacle will be holding a bolter - hence the press-copy of the gripper... so after some minor gun mods... Pinned and glued it into position - unfortunately, the GS and milliput didn't mix very well (lazy mixing on my behalf) and was crumbling as I drilled it, so I had to cut away a lot of the tentacle part and super-glue the b-jebus out of it to make it solid, hence the ugly bits: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/11/756813-Gut5.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/11/756814-Gut6.jpg And then sculpted the remainder of the tentacle: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/11/756816-Gut8.jpg It's pretty rough for now, but once it dries I'll sand it into shape and smoothness: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/11/756817-Gut9.jpg While sculpting the tentacle I noticed the old style bolter (from Forge World) was really plain and dull, so it requires some detailing next, and even this servant of Nurgle needs a power-pack for the remnants of his armour - so still plenty to do...

lamby Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 And then - back to Gutrot... Sprayed primer on those hard-to-get-to parts and what the Hell, glued him together and then went all the way and slapped the modified power-unit and cables onto him: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/12/10/763148-Gut21.jpg You get a better appreciation of the bulked out bolter now he's a whole body, not just a tentacled skeleton: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/12/10/763149-Gut22.jpg He needs a bit of green-stuff clean-up to smooth out the gaps in the skin created by my tampering with knife and file.

lamby Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Gutrot progressing as well - - GS work on the skin - Need to fix the lowest tentacle join - Added some bulk to the helmet - Position the main tentacle armour pad as well http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/12/24/766135-Gut51.jpg - mmm, note to self - remove strap next to the tabard, it's ruining the flow of the model http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/12/24/766136-Gut52.jpg Merry Christmas all!
