Battybattybats Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Interesting look for the Castellax with the silver on the torso and red on the top. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrall Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 @xenith; hopefully the new update will only improve your opinion.@callius; thanks mate!The Warmaster....http://i.imgur.com/qiSXMwt.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/0BSYuKJ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/KETJHtZ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/woNRUTt.jpgthoughts?-skrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Callius Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thoughts on that Horus you say? Â Well I think it is one of the best Horus minis I've ever seen, the black and gold is especially well handled. The only thing Im curious about is in the first pic his eyes seem all white, although I suspect the camera is the culprit here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Well I think it is one of the best Horus minis I've ever seen, the black and gold is especially well handled. The only thing Im curious about is in the first pic his eyes seem all white, although I suspect the camera is the culprit here... Â That's actually a design choice i've made. Whenever i've seen, or indeed done eyes they always.... limit a models atmosphere. They give it a sense of humanity, which i've tried to avoid. I've tried to push horus down the path of being a god in flesh which meant i wanted to avoid that. It's also why i put a large amount of work into the red eye lids, as though they were being illuminated from beneath or perhaps being boiled by such an intese gaze. Â I thank you for the compliment, i've actually tried to ground the entire model in a dark and dusty colouring. I want this to be Horus Ascendant, but not Horus the increadably pimped out boss daddy as i've seen most people go for. It's why i'm happy with the model, with the objectives i've tried to achieve i think it's pulled them off successfully without being too bright or too grimdark (an acusation i own up to with my standard painting style) Â @Lokko; thanks!

That is the first time I've heard someone doing anything like this to the FW Horus mini and as such, kudos to you my good sir for thinking out of the box and treading the road less traveled...

Skrall Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 IV legion time, Traitor legio-titan.Now time for the table-top ready warhound. I won't get time to work on it until late november now but at least it isn't a block of silver anymore.http://i.imgur.com/M0bkVKl.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/7pYpBHh.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/u9KJ49W.gifI think i've got the balance of zoican ochre, iron warrior hazard stripes and worn/rusty metal down... do we agree or is there something i could do to improve the basics?-skrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telhdrat Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Fantastic weathering on the titan! Horus is amazing too and I really like your design choice with the eyes, it works great giving his face a slightly godlike feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of the Raven Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I never liked titans but it looks good with chevrons. Â I love the Iron Warriors BFG fleet. That Shadows of Olympia flagship is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrall Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Time for a new model.It's bare-bones at the moment while i get the concept and parts together to make it a quality build, but this is how it stands at the moment with its lovely gun.http://i.imgur.com/OYVnvQy.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kOMhKEl.jpgKeep your eyes open.... this ones going to be a scream.-skrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The more mechanicum I see done this well the more I feel I should get me some robots. Curse your fine skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 When I read the post with the titan and you said it was table top quality, I had to do a double take due to it looks way better than table top quality! Your entire log so far has had a lot of cool and awesome stuff in it, keep it up! Moar! Please :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrall Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks guys!I'm starting to up the design plan for this army, i'm going to try and get it all done to as high a quality as the 4-5 weeks i have left allows.So update, family photo's included.http://i.imgur.com/eKe7lRr.jpgMy XV105 with heavy-burst cannon (or at least a heavy cannon) and my bare-bones conversion for the new flying riptide model. I'm hoping to refine and finish the conversion before new year with some breaks for painting more conventional models.http://i.imgur.com/satyePV.jpgFire-warrior count as. love these guys.... so buying an army next year.Finally a family photo, though i've no where near finished anything in this army yet.http://i.imgur.com/L29mjPu.jpgUpdates will start picking up...i hope.-skrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
