WarriorFish Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Remember that you learn much more from defeat so use it to make yourself better for next time Looks like you'll have some more models to pick from soon too, so everyone wins Now, get some paint on them and post some pictures up ASAP soldier!

CyderPirate Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just lulling them into a false sense of security, Fish. The losing streak'll break soon enough, though. Probably once I can squeeze a Colossus into the list... Try Jinking that, bikers!

elmo Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Excellent work on the Dodo cav (sorry the name has now stuck ;)). As a quick comment, the yellow needs a good agrax wash to bring out the creases in the skin. I know you are not quite up to gluing the riders on but you could do reins using either fishing wire or light gauge guitar wire. Drill a hole through the beak where a horses bit would go then green stuff up the rest of the bridle and attach the wire using a hole drilled into the riders hand to pass it through.... Just a thought :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302122-euryalean-stoneborn-plog/page/2/#findComment-3952032 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderPirate Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Cheers guys! I had thought about giving them reins, but thought it beyond my ability. I've pretty much only used GS to fill gaps so far, so actually making something specific is a daunting prospect. Elmo's idea actually sounds pretty doable, though. I've got a sixth one that I haven't started on yet, so I'll have a go with that one. That way if I balls it up I've still got a full squad, and if it goes well I can try it with the others as well. (Good catch with the wash, as well Elmo. The legs need a bit more love) Yup, Blightwheel for the Dodos. Lovely sculpts, had one little issue with a bubble in one of the necks but a bit of GS sorted that out fine. They're a bit boring with just the one pose, but I think they're working on some more at the mo.

elmo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 try using real life to give yourself ideas... Chicken legs http://www.inflexwetrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/IFWT_Chicken2.jpg Wash the yellow you already have, highlight it again with yellow then try lightly sponging on some black or dark grey. That should give you this sort of look. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302122-euryalean-stoneborn-plog/page/2/#findComment-3952734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderPirate Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Cheers for the tips Elmo, good advice. My first attempt was a dark grey, using emus and ostriches for inspiration, but the end result just didn't look right. Chickens look like a much better real-life example of what I'm aiming for. My only doubt is that the splodges of dark brown will look out of place next to the bright blue feathers. Only one way to find out though...

CyderPirate Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Aw alright, you twisted my arm. I'll get some more pics up tonight. I've got some battle reports to write up as well - (2 more Kill Team losses and a Draw :s) so should be plenty of pretty pics soon.

CyderPirate Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Well, trying to stay avoid the wrath of the commissariat... Some progress on the 2nd squad: An improvised Rapier laser destroyer And finally....my first attempt at reins on the death chickens.The superglue around the harnass looks a lot worse here than in the flesh, and hopefully it won't be noticable once its got a bit of paint on it.

elmo Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Looks great.

CyderPirate Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cheers guys :D Yeah, agree 100% on the reins being shorter. It was such a fiddly job getting it to that stage I just couldn't face re-doing it. The next ones should be easier, though, now that I've done it once.

CyderPirate Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Apologies for the lack of updates. There's been plenty going on, just not a lot of finished projects. Top priority were the entrants for B&G, Lord Commander Arvind 'Arvey' Darvaal, and guardsman Kernoc Stoneborn, reporting for duty, Sirs! A career soldier, Lord Commander Arvind 'Arvey' Darvaal has gradually crept up the ranks over his 25-year long service to the Stoneborn. Like the majority of the men under his command, Arvind cut his teeth battling greenskins in the deep mines of his homeworld, Euryale, before being sent further afield. A naturally charismatic character, Arvey took to leadership easily and his skill as a warrior quickly earned him the respect of his superiors. A combination of luck, skill and sheer stubbornnesssaw Darvaal persevere, surviving through the Stoneborn's greatest victories and most terrible defeats.More recently, however, Darvaal has been promoted beyond his ability. After the death of the company's former Lord Commander, Eryn Kerphos, Arvind's years of experience made him the obvious candidate. Whilst his skill and tenacity are unquestionable, Darvaal's lack of formal education and years on the front line have left him ill-equipped to manage the movements of the entire company. Worse, Arvey detests the politics of the regiment's upper command structure and yearns for the opportunity to return to the front line proper. Guardsman Kernoc joined the Stoneborn at the age of 15, and in the five years since has seen little but the dark walls of Euryale's mines, illuminated by the flaring prometheum of his crude flamethrower. Orders have recently come in, however, that the regiment is being dispatched to a new warzone and, after years of stalking through a subterranean hell-hole Kernoc is eager for the chance to fight the enemies of the Imperium underneath a new sky. As icing on the cake, in readiness for the new deployment, the soldiery are receiving additional training, which for Kernoc means trading in his flamer for a melta gun. As well as these two, I've finished the regiment's first Storm Chimera, Xenakis and I've done most of the work on an as-yet-unnamed Medusa (definitely NOT a chopped down Bassie - alright) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302122-euryalean-stoneborn-plog/page/2/#findComment-3981682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The troopers turned out very nicely, well done! Also good to see some tanks coming along as you can never have enough ;) I'd give the Chimera a wash or two and a highlight on the grey, it won't take long to do especially if you dry brush and it'll make a big difference :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302122-euryalean-stoneborn-plog/page/2/#findComment-3982106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
