bluntblade Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Question: would the Wardens who pitch straight into the Insurrection wear the same colours right the way through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Good that you ask^^. Yes they do, but those coming with Gwal change from blue to black. The destroyers are labeled with black colors prior to show their " unhonorable" approach. And the late wardens see themselves dishonored. As well as gwal. Not sure if guaire changes colors^^ Edited February 24, 2017 by MikhalLeNoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Is Guaire one of the old Apostles? You could have a section of the Wardens stand apart from Gwal at the Siege, highlighting just how far their paths have diverged (ad heightening Gwal's sorrow at how brutally his sons act in the aftermath( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Guaire is in effect THE apostle. He was their leader until disaster took place. I had meros on writing it but with his withdrawal it is kinda lost. Their is a battle in canonverse and broverse which defines thr apostles heavily. In canon guaire amalasan makes the right choices and his confidence and arrogance is bolstered. He is the one who brings their primarch to fall and delivers the.killing blow to gwal. In broverse the same mission goes wrong. Guaire is nearly killed by orks, ripped apart and loses both arms and one leg, awakening the pariah gene in him and his then shunned by his legion as he is the first to ever awaken the gene. He is not confident and lost everthing. Whem gwal is found he "frees" the pariahs and give them their place in the legion. Guiare becomes here his most loyal follower who stays even on his side when half of the legion leaves. However he sees no fault in his actions and so i am not sure if he changes the blue with black.

Vairocanum Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 That is some seriously fantastic artwork! I really like the look of the pariah masks and the jump packs would be great conversion bits if they existed. The red energy effects are also great, kinda give off a sith lord feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Thx man. Although i wanted purple power blade effects^^ But actually the jump packs do exist Edited February 24, 2017 by MikhalLeNoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 While the new raptors look cool, I really do not understand why GW didn't build the plastic kit based on the old metal ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 While the new raptors look cool, I really do not understand why GW didn't build the plastic kit based on the old metal ones. Yeah, to be that is the biggest mystery in GW product policy. Those were so damn awesome. Make them with.this design and modular...my dream unit. Now I have to beg if those jump packs can be casted or hunt down resin ones for ridiculous prices because the metal ones are to heavy for plastic minis.

Vairocanum Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 In the artwork the arched vents come to a more tapered point which I like more than the old metal jump packs. And I feel the same about having plastic raptors in the old metal style, those arched packs and the clawed feet were brilliant.

MikhalLeNoir Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 It i will ever be able to cast, then i cast the feet too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The new artwork is very cool, I specially like the blood effect in the water. About the raptor jump packs I'm pretty sure that with your skill you could sculpt one and cast it to have more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I could make the Raptor pads like those in the artworks. But casting must be made by someone.else. i can't cast anything. I can't even use proper instanmould techniques to copy front and backside of a model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Blank Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 You may be able able to get away with metal jump packs if you're really committed to it. I've used metal arms on plastic bodies and you can compensate with weight on the base, either in the form of actual rocks mixed in with basing material or weights glued to the underside.

Arms are possible, however the jumppacks are huge&heavy and i am not sure if i can find enough weight to balance them out. But I may give it a try.

MikhalLeNoir Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 So, after hitting a wall with the blind primarch, I decided to give myself a pause ( damn you elbow protectors) and try something else and I remembered that Isengrin challenged me... Good thing: I took a lot of photos and I might be able to make a tutorial out of this^^ And yes, he is far from finished^^ Luna707, binary, The Traitor and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Traitor Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Damn I still remember when I didn't like truescale, but with so many good sculptors in B&C I might even have to give it a go... Looking forward to see him finished, he's looking great, specially the rivets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Looking beautiful! Thx man, means a lot. Your Termis were one of the greatest sources of inspiration. Damn I still remember when I didn't like truescale, but with so many good sculptors in B&C I might even have to give it a go... Looking forward to see him finished, he's looking great, specially the rivets. Thx and yeah, have a go at it. I was always awstrucked when I saw them, never thought I would be able to truscale but with all those great kits recently released it is so easy. Even if you were not the great sculptor you are traitor, with the custodes and termilegs you can easily achieve truscale. However...to me it was a way of no return. I simoly can't do the old scale anymore. I quickly assembled the termi above in normal scale to try the pose out....that looked ridiculously silly to me.

Vairocanum Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Awesome true scale terminator! Really crisp GS work and great additions with the rivets. Will he be armed similarly like your other one or something different this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really crisp GS work and great additions with the rivets. Will he be armed similarly like your other one or something different this time? Thx man, I bought about 30k rivets via nailart studio design and wanted to test them out. Happy that it came out so well. He get's another setup because the other will be the leader of the bunch (and part of a killteam). This guy gets an autocannon and power fist. Fine work is now at hand. Sanding down and filling gaps with gs. Also the skirt is missing. No warden without a skirt^^. Hope I can write down the tutorial tomorrow.

The Traitor Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 While I think that he's looking really good I think that with the truescale resize the power fist looks a bit small now and should also be bulked. And yes please, a tutorial on how to do this would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
