Scythes of the emperor.... Update 13/11/18


Recommended Posts

Thanks a lot guys, noted on the shark symbol....shall be corrected

 

Brother Melice, thank you for that advice. Will give it a go and post up the fi signed model once it's done.

 

I'll be Back working on these guys as my airbrush has decided to play up, which I took apart to clean and now it won't go back together....and I needed the airbrush for a space hulk commission I have along with doing my tanks (not a happy fist)

 

 

The only complaint is the sharks facing the wrong way :smile.: but the grey is great nice hunts if rust and dynamic posing!

Love the space hulk terminator :smile.:

It is? I know there are images of both ways around the internet. But the forge world chapter tactics .PDF shows it looking left.

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/a/a4/Carcharodon5.jpg This is the best example I think, it seems to always face towards the front of what ever it's on and as we read left to right (English) the first thing should be it's head :smile.:

 

This goes the same for most modern military patches/insignia as well, you want the symbol facing "forward" as though it is moving towards the battle, not away.  The U.S. flag on a troop's arms should show the stars moving towards the enemy.  I noticed that as well.  But otherwise, great stuff as per usual!

Once I've gotten round to then again I'll post up how I did the grey for the sharks.

 

Thanks again for the comments.....

 

Well....last week I got a commission.....space hulk.....I was testing out reds on some of my own models when my customer changed his mind and asked if I could turn the terminators into scythes......so to my joy I was glad as it's a scheme I'm familiar with (who knew) so I took a dremel to most of the areas of the termies but through my suggestion to save most of the models's details, so the few remaining blood drops will represent either fallen brothers or honour marks fighting alongside the BA or Lamentors as they too suffered greatly at the hands (claws) of hive fleet kraken also....

 

So here's the work so far....

 

The first 6

Here's still loads to do as you can see

 

Made a start too in these two

Hope you guys like the update. I am working on my scouts still....but this commission is taking priority, with this commission the guy (the hobby room on instergram) and I will be catching up very soon, he's building a space hulk style board along with a city block and we are planning/writing out our own version of space hulk....to play.....it'll be centralised around the missions in space hulk but with 40k rules in genes of moving, shooting etc with added special rules and tactics, along with space crusade style missions too (Biohazard is helping with that also)

Nice Termi conversions. I'm either converting mine to run as Deathwatch or Blood Ravens, and am dreading the amount of filing and sanding I'll have to do to get rid of the Angels iconography. Keen to see the finished models.

  • 2 weeks later...

A commission, eh? Clearly moving up in the world.

 

 

Very nice so far, mate. I'm set to turn my Hulk Termies into Marines Errant shortly, its a pain getting all the blood drops off... :wacko:

  

 

Thanks fella, yeah the blood drops were a pain....until I purchased a dremel hehe

 

Such a nice paintjob! The black looks amazing on the lightning claws dude. Not sure if it has been asked before, but could you explain how you achieve such a nice black tone?

Great blog, keep the Scythes in fight!

  

 

Cheers fella and yep, undercoat grey, base coat VMC Black, broad highlight with shadow grey chaos back (70/30 mix) then use pure shadow grey for extreme highs Lights, was with army painter dart tone and re so the last two stages before.

 

Beautiful! The only problem I can see with them is that you're going to want to keep them for your own Scythes rather than hand them over!

  

 

Ha ha it has crossed my mind lol

 

Love your stuff man, keep em coming.

Claudio - now THAT is a Terminator!! Excellent work my friend, well deserved commission your client will be happy with these dudes :tu:

  

Ditto !!!

  

 

Those are looking lovely mate, always been a fan of the old scythes, great to see then getting some love!

  

 

Beautiful stuff, love the skill , cracking work on the back of that claw termie, love it just love it.

  

 

Nice Termi conversions. I'm either converting mine to run as Deathwatch or Blood Ravens, and am dreading the amount of filing and sanding I'll have to do to get rid of the Angels iconography. Keen to see the finished models.

  

 

Thank you so much gents, so much appreciation towards you guys

 

Commisions now eh?

 

Wish I could get in on that :lol:

 

Nice Termies though, Although claws there could do with his eyes being highlighted further as they sort of blend into the osl at the mo :tu:

Thanks a lot bro, the claws and eyes aren't finished yet, I'm going to get the bulk of these first 6 done and then go back and touch up on parts.

 

 

Right into a small update.....I recently got some anvil industry stuff for some extra scout parts.....here's what Managed to create

As I said just a small update.....my head hasn't really been on hobby related stuff for a while as my nan has been in hospital twice on the last month and regrettably with much heart ache she passed away last Friday (3/10/14) truly the end of a Titan for me, as she was more then just my nan.

 

Any way, hope you like what I've made, leave your comments and critism as always. And again thanks for checking my work

Sorry to hear about your loss.

 

Thanks for the black break down. Amazing scouts conversions. Quite cool to see Anvil Industry bitz on scouts, I've used the carbines and rifles on some of mine but didn't know if the Afterlife parts would fit.

 

Hope to see more of your inspiring work!

1000heatheans: thank you bro, me changing how my scouts look was inspired by your work on your malevs.

 

Right. Not really a massive update, I'm going to keep the commission stuff to a bar min on this thread as its a tad confusing as the scheme is obviously mine too lol

 

BUT before I show where I'm at with things.....here's a blast from the past, from my old DIY chapter

 

Fallen brother Fradiō

I think it's great seeing old models you painted and put together.

 

I'm also entering golden demon next year, diorama category, "1st company's final stand"

 

Here's just the first mock up of a sketch just to get a basic look and feel of how I want the terminators to look

Now we move on to the big man him self of the chapter.....the chapter master him self, which I do believe I've shown in earlier pages....

 

BUT I've got a dilemma....what should he be armed with in his right hand....

Thanks for looking
