Iron Skull Mask Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Wow, so many awesome works finished, or nearly finished. I enjoy this event already, although I couldn't start my own project as of yet. But the parts for the first dreadnought have already arrived, and so I hope to be able to start soon. Keep up the great work everyone! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303480-2015-augustus-arena-event-ended/page/18/#findComment-3963520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 OK guys and gals, some last minute challenges coming in. EXCELLENT! Â UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have been challenged by Brother-Chaplain Kage to finish Alaric Tyr, former XIX Legion Captain, loyal son of Terra and forefather of the Sons of Tyr.  I already had a few things I wanted to get 'right' with the eventual founder of my 40k chapter. Firstly I wanted him to have a unique armament, so I gave him enormous wrist-mounted vibroshivs which in game-terms count as Raven's Talons. I haven't yet decided if they should be painted to be electrified, bare metal, or (more unusually) as some kind of incredibly dense and (when properly smithed) very sharp bone, not unlike the talons of a Tyranid. My worry then is that with the black colour scheme he'll look like a Black Dragon. Any thoughts?  I also wanted there to be a visual link between him (as the leader of my 30k force) and Ludvos Arkhan, the leader of my 40k force. I feel using the same customised, artificer-crafted Mk.IV helm was a good way to do this.  Anyway, here's a WIP of him:   http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020667_zpsd3xplzkm.jpg  http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020669_zpsfaihugvn.jpg  http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020670_zpsylbpjmu9.jpg  http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020671_zpsrfq5wfar.jpg  Still in every sense of the term a WIP. Any thoughts? Should I stick with the base? More or less feathers? I haven't yet decided if I want to leave the wrist-blades as-is.

The only thing I can say brother is that the blades don't seem to "match" or "fit" with the rest of him. They seem added on. Maybe some green stuff to smoothen it out?  Aside for that, I love the look and pose!

Teetengee Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have to agree the blades don't look quite right just yet. I think they need to be better integrated into the arm. Also the angle seems to be too far from parallel with the arm by a few degrees.

ShVagYeR Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 First update: three tactical marines (link). Â Looks like I'll be done with this unit long before March 15th, let alone April 5th which is supposed to be my deadline. Already looking forward to the next challenge.

If he accepts and completes the challenge, eternal glory will be his. If he accepts and fails, he shall wear the badge of shame until Midsummer. Â Â I, the Psycho, as a Lord of Black and Midnight clad, accept my lord Tenebris's challenge to build, paint, and base a Champion of my Warmaster's Legion by 0287015.M03 (read: 15 April). If I succede, I shall surely win a place in the Ezekarion, but should I fail in my appointed task, may my lord Abaddon strike my head from my body and eat my beating hearts.

If he accepts and completes the challenge, eternal glory will be his. If he accepts and fails, he shall wear the badge of shame until Midsummer.

Let the Dark Gods bear witness to the trial, let them judge the worthy from the unworthy.  @Tenebris: thank you for challenging the Psycho, but you cannot issue more than one challenge: therefore I have to nullify your challenge to Master Pendragon (challenges have priority by chronology) . @The Psycho: You cannot have challenged Tenebris, as you have already issued a challenge to Castiel on 02/16 (and Castiel has accepted this challenge too).  Please carefully RTM, guys! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303480-2015-augustus-arena-event-ended/page/18/#findComment-3964469 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 ***Ignore the shoddy GS around the blade casing, this is to be filed down - this is a placeholder I wanted to show to get opinions***  OK, switched out the blades for a weapon set a little more practical and much more in scale with the rest of the figure. Thoughts?http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020683_zpspgm5fccb.jpg  http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020679_zpsmte3b1jj.jpg  I'm quite pleased with how the pose has worked out overall. I've also finalised the base he'll be on - I figured he needed a dramatic sprinting-off-a-cliff-face, death-from-above kind of base and this is about as close to it as I figured would be practical for gaming use.  Crits etc. welcome!
