KrautScientist Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Another lovely piece! It's especially impressive how smooth and well-balanced it all is. The one thing I am not 100% sold on is how the mutated arm is so very close to the armour in colour -- that seems like a bit of a missed opportunity. On the other hand, you've incorporated some of those crystalline feathers that also appear on your Magus, so that's definitely a plus ;) Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324794-tzens-thousand-sons/page/18/#findComment-4677755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Ta chaps! Those are the arms he comes with, you can swap and change them and all that so I just decided I wanted this fella to look this way. The kit is amazing, I am likely to pick up another one for making generic Sorcerers for when I eventually get back round to my Word Bearers. As for the arm Kraut, we discussed it in this thread when I first finished it! :D I think a few of us agree with you, (me included), but it's turned out better than I thought it would. It's not ideal, but I don't want to fret too much over a gaming piece. I may go back to it in the future, try and make it stand out a little more, but for now it'll do! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324794-tzens-thousand-sons/page/18/#findComment-4677954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 For anyone who cares I took a pic of him on a white background too. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/eswb.jpg I need a new camera. I am basically using a pretty bad £99 camera at the moment, which when using a white background it turns the picture pink. So in order to take a photo on white I have to open up a picture editor and manually paint the background white. :/ Also, it can't keep the model in focus. If you notice the end of the staff, it's started to get blurry. Time for a shopping trip methinks!

Tzen Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 So the paint job on this guy is done. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/rubric1.jpg The base and the legion symbol/squad markings will be done when the whole squad is finished so that I can do them all at once.

Tzen Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 This is the latest Rubric model I am working on, the leader for my squad. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/rubs2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/rubs1.jpg Still have some way to go. Need to do his backpack and cloak.

Tzen Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 I am going to do them the same as Magnus and the Terminators. On a kind of lava rock base. When Magnus invades Fenris they unleash a big old lava lake which they all walk across, I love the idea so I am trying to recapture the scene with my bases... ... and for my Armies on Parade board too! :D Eldrick Shadowblade, Biohazard and Dosjetka 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324794-tzens-thousand-sons/page/18/#findComment-4816642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Assuming you ignore the base (which will be completed when the entire squad is done), then the Sorcerer for my Rubric Marines is finished! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/sorcdone1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/sorcdone2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/sorcdone3.jpg That’s two down, eight to go!

Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 speaking of that line Tzen, do you find it easier on the psyche to paint 1 rubric at a time or try and crunch 3-4 out in a day ish?

Tzen Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 speaking of that line Tzen, do you find it easier on the psyche to paint 1 rubric at a time or try and crunch 3-4 out in a day ish? One at a time. I am still getting to the point were I could paint these in my sleep. With my Ultras I honestly just go on auto-pilot. Not so much with these chaps. I am also trying to find places I can cut corners. For example, the gold work on the latest guy isn't that great, but he is finished. Looking good, as per usual. Thanks man :D I need to do one more of these fellas then I will do their bases. It will be a squad of ten, but the lack of decals and base is driving me a bit mad! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/ts4.done_.jpg Panzer, Dolchiate Remembrancer, Dosjetka and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324794-tzens-thousand-sons/page/18/#findComment-4921725 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 I just edge highlight the outside of the carvings. Its the dark eldar colours if i remember correctly. Incubi darkness, kabalite green and sybarite. I might be wrong on the names but thats all it is. Just really fine edge highlights.
