TheOneTrueZon Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've been tabarding! After watching some tutorials by the FB user Dawn Crusade - I commissioned him to do tabards for my Primaris HQ. Here's two of them: As an art teacher told me once (back in the day when we used books in class) - "there's looking at art on page in a book, and then there's going to a museum and seeing the real thing". I've learned that a good reference makes all the difference. Here's some of my Primaris Intercessors with tabards sculpted by myself, that are in the beginning phases of painting: And here's some that are sculpted and based but unassembled. At one point early on I didn't realize that most of the chest would be obscured by the Bolter so I stopped trying to work out the chest area too much. KISS method prevails. And after some practice - I've done about 15 Primaris with tabards so far, I have this Primaris Sword Brethren mocked up and ready for ETL, some extra bits on here courtesy of Rogue Crusader / Red Dog Minis: Link to the Dawn Crusade FB page, tutorials are in his video page.

The Spanish Inquisitor Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Great tabards, now they are real Black Templars ! How hard was it to sculpt them ? I might try myself on my intercessors but my sculpting skills are not very good. The sword brethren with extra bits is excellent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly suggest you try your own, it's like a gateway to a whole other world of possibilities if you give it some time and practice. It's probably not has hard as you think but there's definitely a learning curve and the right tools make an incredible amount of difference. There's a lot of the things that will certainly help any tabard crafting using green / brown stuff, like letting the material cure out for about an hour before working on it - that way it shapes more like fabric, you have to push it around a bit more. If you work with it without curing first the epoxy will respond much differently. I also use silicone shaped sculpting tools, such as these (https://bit.ly/2HKLfga) - the triangle shaped head is the one I use 90% of the time. It's perfect for making valleys and folds. Always a good idea to find something that serves as a test mini and do some practice runs before you get to the main event. The tutorial on the Dawn Crusade page is really good, but there's a multitude of others out there. The Spanish Inquisitor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneTrueZon Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Saw these and thought these might make nice Neophyte / Reiver proxies (with some head swaps): Also extra points that the heads are based on "The Expendables" characters, and that cyber dog!

Marshal Wolfhart Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 If i were nitpicky i'd ask why the vision slits radiate light. Then again, i'm not the nitpicky kind - or so i'd like to think :P - and i seriously need to go wash some drool off myself. Wonderful work!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Why is that... tower... shaped that way? Is it the remains of a building that was subjected to an artillery barrage or orbital bombardment? Or did Chaos raise the tower so, relying on Warpcraft to keep the structure standing?

Marshal Vespasian Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Are you starting a diorama? The tower looks vaguely orkish or like something you can access during play because Walls have been left off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
