KBA Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Wow! Came together so well. The warping dead on the armor reminds me of:http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130815192853/studio-ghibli/images/5/59/Nago.jpg Which is very good.

Ratboy1664 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 That knight, just amazing and unique! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298477-the-doomstar-requiem-vlka/page/2/#findComment-3860590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromeZephyr Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Okay, how did you make that helm. I must know. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298477-the-doomstar-requiem-vlka/page/2/#findComment-3860642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrall Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks for all the comments guys! glad to know i'm not the only one happy with him. Okay, how did you make that helm. I must know. It's the original skull helmet from the Knight kit, the lower jaw is from the ogre kingdoms banner. Pretty simple conversion but i think it works. Now.... future plans. The Night lords are being delayed whilst i get my battle plan sorted. All i know at present is i want the following in my 2k army; Knights; Knight Paladin Knight AcheronKnight Castigator Knight Errant Marines;Either a fireraptor or similar with a squad. I'm actually looking at the space wolves codex because of its drop-barge. I never thought that would happen. -skrall Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298477-the-doomstar-requiem-vlka/page/2/#findComment-3861642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Dear sweet Emperor is that left pauldron creepy. The knight looks good.Even if I feel this kit's overrated and ubiquitous.

Skrall Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Dear sweet Emperor is that left pauldron creepy. The knight looks good. Even if I feel this kit's overrated and ubiquitous. Yeah the plastics are a bit limited. i'm buying the FW ones because, apparently, they are much easier to pose and make unique. This knight was a sod, and all i did was rebuilt the crotch and reposition the feet. Time for an update on the knight. I won't lie, this is some of my favourite work to date. http://i.imgur.com/ntEJNH7.jpg what do we think? -skrall Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298477-the-doomstar-requiem-vlka/page/2/#findComment-3862376 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromeZephyr Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 what do we think? -skrall I think we hate you and your magnificent weathering skills. That's just mind- ing-blowing. ETA: That might have sounded funnier in my head. No hate for you, skrall, just awe at your work.

Skrall Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 I think you've got this weathering thing *down* like a champ Thank you m'lady. Grimdark is my chosen painting style and i'm going to constantly practise painting until i have it flawless. what do we think? -skrall I think we hate you and your magnificent weathering skills. That's just mind- ing-blowing. ETA: That might have sounded funnier in my head. No hate for you, skrall, just awe at your work. i take it as a compliment of the highest order, i'm always trying to improve my style and the knights are a perfect canvas. -skrall Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298477-the-doomstar-requiem-vlka/page/2/#findComment-3863199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Blank Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Everything you've posted here is very impressive - the Knight really looks like a piece of heavy machinery. I'm surprised you didn't get more compliments on Horus - that's an amazing version of that model. I particularly like how rich the colors are; sometimes all the highlights on models that detailed seem to wash out the main colors and you've done a great job avoiding that. The only thing I would criticize is the thickness of the lightning on the Nightlord on the first page. Based on the freehand you've shown, I think you can get these lines thinner and crisper.

Marqol Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 That weathering is just...wow. The chipping is so good, and the Aquila is all sorts of yes!

Ah yes.... the lightning. my fine detail brush is knackered (in fact that's a polite way to describe it) so i'm waiting on a new one before i do any more VIII Legion. Thanks for the compliments though guys. I do love weathering... it's my thing. Totally my thing. Now for a post that will result in my lovely night lord friends want to drag me into the back of the van and flaying me. The Vlka Fenryka have come. May i present a grey hunter, one of the Jarl of Ellefta's men. I've wanted to do a scheme for the Vlka for a while, but this is the first time i've actually sat down and given it a go. I think i've got him looking suitably brutal without going over the top on runic devices and pelts for a first mini. http://i.imgur.com/sPkDpEy.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3HWBdT0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/P6Qc8Mw.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZTQJyuD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/nECDvfd.jpg I think he's turned up pretty well. -skrall Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298477-the-doomstar-requiem-vlka/page/2/#findComment-3863728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherJim Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Yeah he looks alright I suppose :P So tell me more about this weathering, do you prefer paints or powders? brushes or sponges? feel free to ramble. By God man! that is the most glorious Grey Hunter I have ever seen.

Ceadus Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Man, that's an awesome knight! Great stuff here. The Space Wolve is also really cool. I like the colors you used on him, is that mech. standard grey? Or which greys did you use on him? So, what's next?
