Marshal Reinhard Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I find it kinda humuorus that there's this one traitor heretic being shot down by one initiate, yet everyone else more or less completely ignore him. Your marshal in particular, have absolutely no the time in the world to even care about the lowly heretic, even though he's directly to his right. There. Now that I poked fun at it, let me remedy the whole thing by saying I absolutely love it. At some point I need to do something similar for mine. Very easy way to get a diorama Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301583-the-thracian-crusade-gather-the-brethren/page/4/#findComment-4201693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciler Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 So, my armies on parade submission has been handed in as I am about to leave the country for the weekend. Unfortunately, my friendly local GW manager has informed me that the theme for november's painting contest is Halloween, so I had the crazy idea as illustrated below : http://reho.st/self/37d4f0a8cfc7f5a42e72b18882f5c5dd5c339c45.jpg The white dude on the left is a Thousand Son sorcerer, he'll be standing on a fire pit and chained to the pillars. The black dude on the right is a kitbashed Huron Blackheart (I got the body for free but nothing else out of someone's bit box). He's supposed to look like he's ringing the doorbell. The sign at the back behind Calgar and Huron reads : http://reho.st/self/3b80b1bdb924aafd74d0f1fd30dd04b51512fc7f.jpg For the inside walls of the chapter keep frat house, I figured it'd be nice to have a few posters, so around the doors I plan to have : http://reho.st/self/2105569af06b2bfb5b4e28120cb361269039044a.jpg and the old classic http://reho.st/self/38a087c9c184bd30f3babaf9682e6a8f2ec5bed2.jpg What do you think ?

Honda Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Here I was thinking this was a visual for a Knock Knock joke: A: Knock, knock B: Who's there? A: ZEAL! B: Zeal who? A: ZEAL YOU! <impales traitor behind the door with chainsword> On the other hand, have fun with your display. I think you could pull this off (frat party).

Marshal_Benjamin Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I Love this. I love the models of your crusade, and i love the Halloween idea.

Ciler Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 I'm abroad till Tuesday but when I get home I'll post some details on what I do. But it's very much trial and error and by no means a set method. All my capes end up being different Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301583-the-thracian-crusade-gather-the-brethren/page/4/#findComment-4206647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Sorry for not getting back sooner on this. For cloaks, I just make a thin sheet of green stuff that I cut and fold to shape. I let it cure a bit with the rough shape in place before I actually glue it to the model for final adjustments. On the shoulder pad, once the main cape is attached I add some small rolls of GS to give the impression of the cloth folding where it pools to the pin that attaches it. Update on the Halloween "diorama" http://reho.st/self/07ebe6d7f9c76510ce7e51257971299eadda3e8a.jpg Please note that the witch will be chained to the pillars and that the Blood Raven marine is a place-holder and will be replaced by a proper son on Sigismund. What do ye think of my brazier ?

Ciler Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Very nice and you don't see eyes that color, so nice touch! Thanks. I have plenty enough red on most of my models with the purity seals and weapon casings, so green eyes provide with a nice contrast colour. The skull is a nice touch. Glad people appreciate it. Again, it's not my own idea but for the life of me I can't recall who came up with it. Base done, now I need only get into a few more games so that I can have a few more skulls to add, even tho that may seem a bit khorny. http://reho.st/self/3704b9a25e8c5dde218720a52f1a69fbc0be788d.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301583-the-thracian-crusade-gather-the-brethren/page/4/#findComment-4250803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciler Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm doing some testing on my new "photo studio" (ergo a DIY lightbox). Do you believe the following photo does justice to the models, or would you go for a different background ? http://reho.st/self/c3d5dd06458ad1fa2c1c08bb4c6794c5a18e6c76.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301583-the-thracian-crusade-gather-the-brethren/page/4/#findComment-4265741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mattias Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Good start - I have similar plans for my own kneeling apothecary, although the fallen warrior is a smart use of bits without sacrificing valuable back/leg pieces ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301583-the-thracian-crusade-gather-the-brethren/page/4/#findComment-4277740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 WIP. http://reho.st/self/1858656ba0bfdff3cc27b4f4da9a9614c7063271.jpg I still need to work on the power sword, but I'm having my doubt on whether I should paint it with the power field "on". I have it magnetised as well anyway in case I have to play with a rule stickler that wants to see a chainsword. I also want to add a cape (as with all my other veterans).

Brother Christopher Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Amazing progress. Your WIP looks great, it has a "it's almost done" quality to it. With your plan of adding a cape, I must say that's a shame you haven't done that earlier. The model is pretty cool without the cape, IMO. It seems to me that integrating a cape to the model in its current state may be difficult. You'll also probably have to find a way to position it in so that it won't obscure the holstered pistol - it would be a shame to cover it up.

Ciler Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Well, the backpack isn't glued in place yet so the back is still fairly accessible. You have a point with regard to the holstered pistol though, it would be a pity to hide it. I'll have to flow the cape around it.
