Malchy's WIP thread : Kohuru head hunter squad (up 12/10)

[hushrong]

Lord do I love seeing that mandrake archon fella! You definitely have a unique scheme going on with your drum hair and you've definitely hit it out of the park.

[malcharion]

Awesome stuff on the Eldar, mate!

Though I prefer your Carcharodons.

 

Have you seen the newest cover art for Outer Dark? It got a really good depiction of Bail Sharr.

 

Thanks man ! For the carcharodons I've some left to do but i'm not particulary fan of the Primaris vibes for this chapter so i'm waiting for something inspiring. Beside I really try to get my brush skills to another level lately with colors that I usualy dont use and for that the carcharodon are not the best choice. As for Bail sharr yeah i'm relly exited by that cover ! But I've already made my version of him. Maybe one day I'll give him another one

 

 

Your DE colour scheme works really well, the mandrake lord is amazing!

  

Thanks ! Hope you'll like it now that he is finished

Looks cool, the dryad claw (it is  from the dryad kit, isn´t it) works well with the mysterious nature of the Mandrakes. 

 

Are you beginning to leave the "white faces" thing behind a bit? 

 

Edit: Nice blog by the way!

[Sagentus]

Dam that looks amazing. The colour of the armour always get me and it contrasts brilliantly with the metaland skin tone. 

 

How did you do the effect on the side of the spear head? 

[hushrong]

First off, I am still loving it!

 

Also, my phone autocorrected 'drukhari' for 'drum hair' in my earlier post.  I just spent 5 minutes wondering what the hell was I writing about.

[The Traitor]

Awesome! The NMM are very good, and the general colour scheme is very eye-catching... Not quite a white-face however, huh :P?

Thanks dude ! Haha it seem that I may have step a little further out of the white faces circle ^^

Cool that you've enjoyed the blog !

Cheers Sagentus ! For the effect it's simply a gradiant with a dumbull brown base, then I add gradualy a flashy orange, then yellow and I finished with white ;) (the add of dark blue in the shadows of the blade edges go well with it and increase the effect )

Haha ! Don't bother I had it ;) Glade you like it !

Thanks a lot ! Nice if the NMM is looking good for you :)

For the white face like LordVelype said ... Maybe it's time for me to change the thread name ^^

but I've no ideas !

I'll think about it ;)

 

 

For now here is a Green face that I've made for a fun painting contest on a french forum. It was a reall pleasur to paint this one and it was another way to push the brush further :)

 

Here is : CapteN Kraken ! "Da freebootork" and MiniJaga'

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one was painted befor the Mandrake boss to give a try to the white base and nmm for the first time. I've try to improve the methode on the Drukharii after that and try gold :) .

 

Again out of the white face box I know... but Damn It feel good to use a brush on things other than palid Spaces marines ! :)

I might see if i can give that gradient paint effect a go. Really like how this Ork stands out so much, the skin is very vibrant and the effect on the armour is amazing! look forward to seeing more!  

[DaBoiKyknos]

Cool pirate! Seems like something my Space Marines would gladly hunt down!

 

Maybe a white faced Weird-Boy next? Seems like something which would qualify for a strange, pale face! 

[hushrong]

The ork is fantastic and that paint job is stellar. I love the colors on him and his little friend.

 

My favorite thing though is the vertical striped pants. I find that oddly satisfying.

[Sandlemad]

Those colours pop fantastically well, got a really vibrant comic-book look. The ironjaws conversion is also great, the new 'tilt' of the pose is very dynamic. I love the way you've turned the armour into something like dungarees with the ammo belts connecting the shell to the trousers, makes the ork look very different to the stock model.

[Markus_]

Amazing colours!

[The Traitor]

Really cool ork, I did some similar conversions recently mixing Ironjawz and Meganobz! The gretching though is a very nice detail, and the NMM looks sweet for being a test!

Malchy

[Dantay VI]

The NMM effect is stunning

[Wicced]

loving the paint job, fantastic work on the NMM!

 

in the first of the three pictures his sword looks a little bent, that might just be the angle of the picture though :unsure:

[Sagentus]

Coming along amazingly, the nmm looks spot on! great work all round. 

[The Traitor]

Awesome NMM, you're so talented Malchy, can't wait to see this beast finished!

[DaBoiKyknos]

Will you be painting 40ks very own gift bringer from the snowy lands aswell?
