Nemac's WIP Log - Abaddon the Despoiler

Contemptor looking fantastic buddy

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks Bio :D. Just highlighting the skin patches on the left shoulder and then he is finished for now. I have taken a cast of the dead Space Wolf from Ahriman's base and I'm going to use that to make the corpse for this guy to stand over. Pictures will follow tomorrow :tu:

Morning all!

 

I have finished the main body and first two arms of the Contemptor. I still have the corpse to add and the blood on the claw but I figure I should finish my last Atrementar first. I have now added chains to the shoulder of one of the assault cannons on the Contemptors left arm so I'm nearly ready to undercoat them and then I can get them painted for this guy.

 

 

 

 

Also doe's anyone know of a good way to make chain links stiff without blocking them in? I though about running glue along them but didn't want to clog the links. Would be handy so I could add a hanging chain along the barrel of one of the assault cannons.

 

Anyway, C&C is always welcome :)

Whoa your contemptor looks even better than the FW painted one. Really great flayed skin as usual. I've tried using 'ardcoat spray (i think its called purity seal now) to make chains stiff in the past but it wasn't very durable in the long run. Maybe a few thin washes of watered down white glue could work (haven't tried it before though). 

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks Vairocanum, that's great praise indeed :D I have a few bits of the chain so I'll be sure to give those a go. Thanks for the tips :tu:

You can add a touch of superglue in the links and it will hold its shape. I get what you mean about not wanting to fill the inks in though. Can't wait to see the Atramentar as well as the Contemptor finished mate.

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks Bio, so I should attach each end of the chain to the AC and then keep it in the position I want it to be in and then apply the glue? To be fair, the links are so small I may be asking for a bit much with not wanting them to clog. The final Atrementar only needs his base and the metals/lightning claws and he is done, giving me 3 units of five marines (to be increased to ten one mini at a time), 5 teminators and a contemptor :)

[Biohazard]

Yeah pretty much exactly how I did it, I can't find a pic of the model I'd used it on. I couldn't show it here anyway but I'd used this technique on DE Cold One rider Lord. I had glue with a brush applicator which helped.

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks dude, I have taken your advice and am very happy with it. There is some glue in the links but I think once painted it will look OK. All I need to do now is find some skulls and bits to hang from it :D

Afternoon!

 

The Atrementar are now finished so here is a group shot for your viewing pleasure :). Very happy with these guys, especially the Sergeant who is fast becoming my favourite model in this Night Lord's army.

 

 

Solo pictures of the final Terminator will come at a later date. As I stated before, I removed two of the cloaks because It didn't look right to me that the rank and file guys were wearing them.

 

And the Autocannons on the Contemptor are nearing completion. I have to add the trophies to the chains and do a bit of filling on the left arm but they are slowly taking shape.

 

 

C&C welcome as always :)

That contemptor looks amazing brother as do the terminators keep up the awesome work man

[Son of Carnelian]

Great looking Night Lords. I especially love the capes on the Terminators.

[Biohazard]

Fantastic work

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks guys :D. I have also built a couple more marines for each of the Veteran squads. They will eventually be ten man. I will try and get some pictures of them in the next few days.

[The Nephilim]

Great looking Night Lords. I like the alternate paint scheme.

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks Nephilim :D

[Tzen]

Great looking force there Nemac! Would be a great game seeing those across the table top! :D

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks Tzen, that would be an awesome game against any one of your armies :)

[Midnightmare]

Your Contemptor is looking amazing bro, AMAZING!! As are Atrementar, simply excellent work.

 

Good to see my powersword tute being used so well (ie better than I could do!)

 

Stellar work :tu:

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks very much Midnight, It took some work but am very pleased with how it's turning out. I'm not sure my power weapons are better mate haha, but I do love that tutorial so cheers :)

[Brother Pheidias]

Looks stunning, but maybe some larger images, pwetty pwease?

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks Pheidias :), as requested (these are the biggest I could upload to my blog)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having taken these pictures I can see a few things I need to sort out so I'll try and get those bits done today (just a few areas that need blending a bit better). The final Atrementar and actually the first one I painted I am not at all happy with so he will no longer be getting any thread time until I have stripped and re-painted him.

 

Thanks
