PowerFisted: Traitor Sagyar Mazan, The Blazing Suns + other (5.1 general annoucement)

[Brofist]

Thanks so much guys Feels good to be painting again. I pushed myself on this one- particularly happy with how the OSL and gore turned out.

 

YESS! this is the right there.

 

Whats the process for the slimey gore?

I cant get uhu glue to work sadly. It clumps up on my palette and doesnt want to stick to the model

You know, same. I've watched a few youtube videos of people mixing uhu glue with paint and mine absolutely does not behave the same way. If I mix it with paint it clumps and becomes unusable. So I have to apply it directly onto the model and paint it afterwards.

 

Gore I've found to be pretty easy. The key I think is texture and different shades of blood. I use the GW blood technical paint and combine it with black, another time with brown, and another time with magenta. Each time I do this I apply it with a sponge onto the gore areas, building up the effect. Once it looks good, I use the technical paint straight from the bottle. This gives it the depth it has. After that I flick on some paint with a brush for spatter and apply the uhu glue. Once dry, I paint the glue using those colors I mentioned before.

Thanks for the run down on the gore process! Getting those different shades in seems to be key.

[Brofist]

I've found this to be true with all of my painting, not just gore.

 

The exact colors you use aren't even that important- its the depth that they provide when mixed and layered with the base color. As your eye sees subtle differences when paired with the others it interprets a richness compared to using say just one base color and or shades

[Marshal Vespasian]

Thanks for the ezplanation. Layering as many textures and tones over each other seems to be what gets interesting hobbying done. Be it terrain, modelling or painting.

[Chaeron]

Simply amazing - the whole force looked brilliant, and then... wow. That is some Arlatax! 

[Brofist]

 

WIP of some Chosen of Malal that will be part of diorama project I'm working on

[Marshal Vespasian]

Awesome stuff dude. I'd never even get the idea to build something like that.

[Brofist]

Cheers man! Part of the fun for me is to come up with crazy ideas and to make them real. The diorama I have planned is gonna be super sick

 

My idea is this: a champion of malal dies and stands before the mirror of apotheosis, somewhere between reality and the afterlife

[Brofist]

To the shame of the V, when the Warmaster raised his banner at Isstvan, many felt compelled to answer his call. Of the rebellious Sagyar Mazan, exiled and redeemed, stories are still whispered. Redacted and expunged are the tales of twisted brotherhoods who eschewed these vows, unleashing themselves to the services of dark forces, marauding humankind's darkest hour since old night.

 

 

 

 

 

Early concept on a fallen stormseer. Getting ready for heresy 2.0. Hype is real.

Is that a not-Cypher base to it? This looks very cool, can't wait to see him painted up.

[SkimaskMohawk]

Looks great!

 

Are you going to have predominantly a standard white scar scheme, or are you going to lean into the ebon keshig/chaos style a bit more?

[Excessus]

LOVE IT!

[Brofist]

Thanks everyone! I'm very hype for heresy.

 

Visual identity is important, so I'm going to try sticking to a mostly standard white scheme as most models will be heavily converted. I'm going to experiment with some color schemes to make sure I get the right balance. If I can nail 'loyalist looking, but not quite right' I'll be happy.

[Brofist]

Some experiments as I wait for a bunch of bits to come in the mail from all around the world

 

 

[Brofist]

Some good guy chainswords for my good guy white scars, plus a proof of concept for my preator. It'll take work to de-aosify him, but he should look pretty crazy in all the right ways once I'm done:

 

 

[Brofist]

Sergent experiments. I'll probably do both, but I kinda dig the mega top knot not gonna lie

 

[tinpact]

Brilliant work on the praetors! The AoS bits work really well for White Scars (for a legion with such a deep mystic tradition, it's a shame that the official models for their special units don't really get to show it off compared to, say, the Space Wolves or Word Bearers).

[Xin Ceithan]

Wow. Just wow. To my shame, I‘ve missed some updates :( 

 

The Stormseer and Praetor in particular are simply amazing! 

[Chaeron]

Love how characterful those kitbashes are: great work! 

[Brofist]

Cheers guys. I'm having fun with these because I can go pretty wild with the theme. I've been doing IWs as my marine army for so long, feels good to cut loose on this project

[Brofist]

Space bushido levels: rising

 

gonna try to pull off an open helmet design

My bodies came in the mail! The project can now begin in earnest:

I'm not sold on the antenna or mega bolter, but I do love the curvy proportions on these.

 

[Brofist]

Figured out how to pull off these backpacks- somebody suggested I try broom bristles and it worked like a charm. Much better than before imo.

 

 

 

[Brofist]

Thoughts on shield sensors? Trying to bring them into the 30th millennium:
