Tundaran Knights-73 big update, tree demon, things!

[Argent aquila]

Impressive. What did you write (in runes) on the Leviathan Dreadnought?

Not gonna lie, i always just do random scribbles. i took inspiration from math symbols like pi and square root, as well as arabic text and just made random streaks and built up what looked cool and filled the space.

But i do plan on discovering what they mean and divulging all the little details in depth whenever i get around to creating the name and backstory for this beast, rest assured! Soon....

Good stuff. Cool army.

Thank ya much brother!

Wow you came back with a bang! Leviathan is looking good. Congrats on graduating HS and have fun at wonderfest.

Hahaha, much appreciated as always Guardian! It means alot.

So,Wonderfest was an absolute blast as always, and i managed to do far better than i could have hoped. Every single one of my entries placed!

In the end this is what i ended up with:

tau broadside battlesuit-bronze

non WH entry-bronze

breacher assault squad-bronze

tyranid broodlord-silver

assault squad-silver

siege master Dvorak-silver

assasin space marine-silver

relic dreadnought-silver

Librarian and first company marines-gold

leviathan dreadnought-gold

now, only about 10-12 until my second contest, gotta get my tail in gear and make a couple more entries!!

The next several weeks are still quite busy for me schedule wise, i have camping trips, grad parties, trying to learn z brush, a massive model to finish as much as possible, and a company to design parts for. So posting is going to be less frequent than i'd like, but i'll be sure to stop in as much as i can, even if it isn't posting.

so i'll se you all soon, thanks for looking and i hope you have a marvelous day as always!

[Thousand Eyes]

That is quite the haul. Well done.

[gaurdian31]

Wow, congrats on the haul there. You deserve it!

[deathspectersgt7]

Congrats !!!!

[NightHunters]

Huge haul fella, great job and loving the dread, super sense of movement!

[Argent aquila]

Thank you so much everyone! i deeply appreciate it.

I have approximately 2 days to finish as many more entries as humanly possible for my next contest "Eagle Quest", so as you all may have guessed, i've been quite busy.

i finished off the last two members of the assault squad

thank ya! hope you'll like these as well then!

As i've alluded to before, i entered a bunch of my pieces into another contest called eagle quest. Well i'm proud to announce that, after taking the risk of entering in the adult open categories, i managed to bring home five bronzes for my work! I'm ecstatic to have gotten this far and i'd like to thank you all for the help and support thus far, and i look forward to what we come up here in the future.

ANYWAYS

big picture dump time. My anti deathwatch assault veterans are done!

Oh and also, ideas for the missing fifth member (pose, weapons, etc.) are more than welcome! i'm drawing a blank as to what kinda marine would fill the last spot...

That's all for now! i plan on tackling my other converted stormtalon next, then... maybe a fire raptor? maybe some more marines? who knows

Have a good one y'all!

[hushrong]

Loving that assault squad! I am going to copy that lightning claw pose for a Chaos Raptor.

[gaurdian31]

These guys look great too, love the lightning claws.

[Argent aquila]

Thank ya! and i can't wait to see your take on it! i'm flattered you like the pose so much

These guys look great too, love the lightning claws.

Thank you! i'd hoped ya would!

Now, on my next project-the second modded stormtalon, which i hope to have done within a week (fingers crossed!), i need some opinions...

i'd originally planned on adding some larger runic markings (much like the leviathan) to all the areas i masked and drubrushed black.... but it almost feels like it's..... too simple, maybe? i feel like i need another color of sorts on here, like maybe the yellow of the third company, the white of the first, the gray of the fifth, or the blue of the seventh.. But which color fits best?! and Where?!

y'alls opinions are more than appreciated, as i'm a bit indecisive atm.

the parts in question:

Thanks in advance! Y'all have a good one!

[hushrong]

I do like that aggressive pose with the claws. Plus, I just love raptors with lightning claws thanks to Zso Sahaal.

 

As for the flyer I think it looks good now. However I have been digging your brown and yellow combo.

[gaurdian31]

I agree with the yellow, it has been looking great on the assault marines.

[Charlo]

Four-headed axe is my new favourite thing.

 

Welldone, all looking great!

She's nearly done, lacking highlights some small details and a name.

Hope y'all liked it! Have a good day!

[gaurdian31]

That looks great! The yellow really pops and the runes are placed in great spots.

[hushrong]

That hits the spot!

Haha great! i'm happy with how it turned out too!

so, i've come to realize that i'm coming up on a problem with the army.

I'm running out of models to make.

currently in the wip are a handful of individual marines, my not yet winged contemptor, and a knight that i need to design and convert.

oh, and these guys who i am now happily calling completed!

of course, they will be representing the psychic familiars/summoned creatures characteristic of the chapter. (and i think the big base makes a good siege objective too lol)

so anyways, i have an option here, i can try to push progress on the knight, which is quite the daunting task as i'm fresh outta ideas and inspiration here, or i can clean up my mess with the Fire stallions and the leftover pieces i've left half finished over the past year and change... what would y'all rather see?

in parting, a quick shot of my army arrayed for war, from my friends' kitchen table. just a note, i lost that game, miserably

Have a good one y'all!

[hushrong]

Nice army shot!

I also like that my storm eagle is at the same exact stage as your fire raptor. Built except the cockpit is not attached...but mine has been in that stage since those things came out

[deathspectersgt7]

Bring back the Stallions !!!!!

[Argent aquila]

Thanks man!

hahaha, ya i need to fill in the major gaps still, but i think i'm doing good for only being at this stage for a couple months!

She's up next on the list.

Bring back the Stallions !!!!!

with pleasure! i have a bunch of rhinos to finish off and then i can hop to on the infantry.

Right after i do the fire raptor.....

[gaurdian31]

I want to see the fire raptor in the Tundaran Knights colors and the Knight. The Knight is going to be awesome in your hands.

I will certainly hafta figure out what i do with the imperial knight! it's quite the challenge! hopefully by the end of the summer if not by fall break.

well, i was in the middle of doing the priming for the fireraptor, when i came across the remnants of an old face i'd almost completely forgotten about!

remember him?

[/url]">http://

yeah, well meet the new and improved, Vrah Sveratel Kostin- the shadestalker, master of the ashen, lord of the forgotten

so one could imagine that took up quite a bit of my time! input and ideas for any possible alterations to him are more than welcome!

in other news, i'll be putting together an armies on parade entry for my knights! fun stuff!

and i'm also about to dabble into truescaling via the terminator bodies just to get a feel for it, ideas and suggestions there are more than appreciated as i'm clueless!

Thanks for looking y'all hope you enjoyed!

[MikhalLeNoir]

The new chapter master looks boss. But why a sword amd a dualsaber?

No idea!

at the time i kinda thought i could paint it like a fire stallions chainsword, so he disarmed an enemy, then, literally, disarmed them, hence the corpses, haha.

any suggestions on what i could replace it with if you feel it doesn't fit? i'm more than happy to experiment.
