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

[Spagunk]

I wanna say those are tortuga bay torsos but I could be wrong.

[SkimaskMohawk]

They look great!

 

Going evil, you've managed to capture the wild nature of the scars better than any of the official stuff, which just focuses on their Asian influences. These guys look like they love what they do.

[Brofist]

Thanks so much guys. I started reading scars while working on these and its been making me wanna do a proper army after this ZM force.

 

 

Now with riders

 

hey man, those look awesome! do you have a link to the Stl for the mkii riders?

 

Man, it looks like I lost the link somewhere It was a free download from cults3d, taken from a jetbike iirc

[Brofist]

2nd to final stage on this project begins, this will be a slog:

 

[Brofist]

Making some progress. Should look super sick with the shields

 

[Brofist]

** hog sounds intensify **

 

[SkimaskMohawk]

Are those the old metal raptor packs? How'd you get so many lol.

[Brofist]

I saved them up over the years... also ebay and heresy trading. Got enough for 30 + characters :)

Anyway here's some stuff I've been working on while B&C was offline:

Those conversions look fantastic! Nice use of the AoS orruk shields, it looks really effective. If you don’t mind, what are all the bits you used for the sniper rifles?

[Brofist]

Cheers! Sniper rifles have a lot of parts I'm afraid: compensator is from anvil industry, barrel is from an admech rifle, body is from a necro enforcer sniper rifle, mag is from a primaris bolter, and the grip is from a melta

[Son of Sacrifice]

Those sniper rifles are insane, really well done! 

[Brofist]

Cheers man! Thanks!

I'm getting close to painting on this project. Its been about 2.5 months of conversion work so far and I'm itching to start putting paint down.

[Pearson73]

Cracking stuff, digging the texture and damage on the armour. Very much looking forward to seeing some paint on these guys!

[Brofist]

Creedsman of bong and blade, sagyar mazan vision bringer from the riff-filled planes of chogoris. Redacted and expunged are his twisted tales, unleashed from the path of heaven, free to maraud humankind's darkest hour.

I'm loving your take on the  sagyar mazan 

[Brofist]

Hey thanks! It's been a very fun project. I haven't been able to let loose and go wild on a marines for quite some time

[Brofist]

Still playing with poses, but made some progress on my preator

[Brofist]

Trying to figure out my colors now. Practicing my white. I wanna give them black helmets to make them a bit non traditional. It might not work out, but I'm gonna try to to make it a very dark SoH type green to play up the traitor angle.

Feels good to paint again :)

[Pearson73]

That scratched up, grimey white is ace. I think black helmets will pair with the white very nicely indeed.

[Brofist]

Looks who's conversion made it into white dwarf

[Brofist]

I've been quiet because I've been painting... pushing myself and trying new things. I set a time limit for myself- gotta wrap up by the end of this month and start full on production of this army. Here's where I'm at right now with the base color:

[SlickSamos]

Looks really neat!

What paints did you use?  Looks like a metallic white, kinda like a sprayed white contrast over metal basecoat?

Thanks!

[Brofist]

Hey thanks! My recipie has some exotic elements, but you can approximate:

• Prime and basecoat black
• Vallejo hull red into the shadows (cool, brownish red color)
• P3 cryx bane into the mid tones (cool, dark greenish grey color)
• White ink mixed with matte medium highlights (build up the color gradually from the mid tones to the highlights)
• Seal with gloss varnish
• Mix a burnt sienna oil wash (basically a dark warm brown) which I spray into the shadows and then give it a tiny misting from the top as a filter effect
• Once dry, I mix a super thin black oil wash with a touch of dark green, I pin wash the model a few times to build up the effect
• Extreme highlights with oil titanium white

 

 

[Brofist]

Been playing around with reactive armor. Hot or not?

 

[Cactus]

Hot, but it looks like a lot of effort.
