Fire Golem Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 So, having finally settled on a plan of action, I thought I'd start a general WIP thread for my Heresy stuff. Seeing as I could not for the life of me pick a legion and stick to it, I've decided I'm going to do models from all the legions, and use the Shattered Legions rules in the upcoming book to play them. Not sure how the rules will work out yet, but this lets me try my hand at every legion and still have a playable force at the end. If I discover I like modelling one/a couple of legions more than the others, I can then expand them into a full force. Not much to show to start with, just a couple of models I've built that I'm pretty happy with. First up is a Sons of Horus Sergeant/maybe Centurion or something: http://i.imgur.com/qvX5DKZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LZ2wUmD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZmoPYj9.jpg The other one is a Space Wolf, I'm really happy with the pose on this guy: http://i.imgur.com/PWFCkz0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IxHjptx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1Asrh8p.jpg I tried to cut the eye/mark of aversion into his shoulder: http://i.imgur.com/WunVQSD.jpg Sorry for any rubbing photos. Any C&C welcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314761-fire-golems-wip-stuff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Liking them both, but the space wolf is by far my fave. the knife and pose work well Since you said C&C welcome...from the first picture of the wolf, his head seems to be very much looking down, was that something you wanted?

Fire Golem Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks! The Wolf is my favourite too. And yeah he is looking down, and it wasn't intentional, but I think I'm going to base him on a rock or something slightly higher so it looks like he's stepping down something. The pose looks like he's stalking someone so I think it'll work.

Fire Golem Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Been a little while since I've posted any models, working on a couple at the moment. First up are test models for Night Lords and Alpha Legion (both WIP). The NL scheme is based off of Loddfafnir113 scheme, from here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318642-i-shall-wear-midnight-loddfafnir113s-viiith-legion/. It still needs lightning, and I'm not sure it's dark enough, but I'm fairly happy. The Alpha Legion scheme was an experiment, and I think it might be a bit dark and a bit green, but I thought I'd get some feedback. http://i.imgur.com/uMCLu6c.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4lJLT7e.jpg http://i.imgur.com/u679CnO.jpg The other one is a kitbash I'm working on that I think looks cool, but I don't have a clue what to use it for. I don't think any characters can take a shotgun so it's gonna have to be counts as if I ever play it. Thinking a Night Lord or an Iron Warrior, maybe: http://i.imgur.com/mte5pzN.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314761-fire-golems-wip-stuff/#findComment-4332973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 WHAT?! FIRE GOLEM PAINTED STUFF!?!WHO ARE YOU?! WHERES THE REAL FG!?!?!?!? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314761-fire-golems-wip-stuff/#findComment-4333030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Crazy right? I think I do about a model every 6 months. It's not even like they look like they took 6 months at the end of it ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314761-fire-golems-wip-stuff/#findComment-4333055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loddfafnir113 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Loving the mix of bits on these guys! And thanks for answering something thats been buzzing round my head for a while: MkIV and MkV do look great together. The night lords looking good, but I agree he's a little bit light. Did you drybrush runefang before the first glaze? If so it might have just been a bit heavy. I've found a watered down purple wash darkens them a bit, and a black recess wash will deepen it down a bit. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Fire Golem Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Yeah I like MkIV and MkV together too - makes it seem more brutal, I think. Thanks! I did do runefang steel, but I thought it was light - I could barely see it! I did think maybe I went too far with the original dark silver drybrush? Or just not enough with the blue.

Lord-Commander Macarian Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Can we get some more pictures of the Shotgun-armed Marine? Blackshield Marauders can take Shotguns, so I might take inspiration from yours if I may be so bold Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314761-fire-golems-wip-stuff/#findComment-4334000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loddfafnir113 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I went fairly heavy with leadbealcher, so I think you're safe there. How many coats of glaze did you do? I did three but I probably didn't thin mine down as much as I should have. Also quick tip, best to avoid bronze shoulder rims. I gave it a go, ended up with an ultramarine :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314761-fire-golems-wip-stuff/#findComment-4334003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Aged bronze should be fine for the shoulder trim - just hit it with a few washes of a brown color.

Blackshield Marauders can take Shotguns, so I might take inspiration from yours if I may be so bold :) Sure, I'll take some more when I'm home tomorrow :) it is actually a scout arm, but the mix of power armour and less armoured arm should work okay for a Blackshield? I went fairly heavy with leadbealcher, so I think you're safe there. How many coats of glaze did you do? I did three but I probably didn't thin mine down as much as I should have. Also quick tip, best to avoid bronze shoulder rims. I gave it a go, ended up with an ultramarine :P Aged bronze should be fine for the shoulder trim - just hit it with a few washes of a brown color. I did three coats of undiluted glaze, so I either did lighter coats, or I went heavier on the runefang than I thought! As for the trim, I was mainly going to do silver as I prefer it, but I might try some aged bronze here and there for variety.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 On my Crimson Sons praetor, I went quite dark on the bronze shoulder trim aging. http://i.imgur.com/AG4U0c8.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314761-fire-golems-wip-stuff/#findComment-4334031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I like that bronze. The model as a whole is fantastic, actually. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314761-fire-golems-wip-stuff/#findComment-4334040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loddfafnir113 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Think BCK's got the right of it, I just did warplock and didn't like it, but a bit of extra work might well give better results.

Originally I was going to do all of the feather decorations and the rest of the trim in bronze, but I did the shading on the base coat first and really liked the look of it. The Vallejo bronze color I use is really bright, so it took a lot of washes to tone it down to what you see.

Fire Golem Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Was it just Agrax Earth over bronze base? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314761-fire-golems-wip-stuff/#findComment-4334051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I don't have any of the new washes; I'm stubbornly holding on to my old 1st gen ones, but I actually thinned down brown paint when straight Devlan Mud had almost no effect on the bronze.

Fire Golem Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Okay thank you, sounds simple enough.
