[The Traitor]

Really great army, hope to see it grow soon!

[Kizzdougs]

Really nice work! The army looks great together so far :tu:

[hushrong]

That is sweet. Love that tribal theme they have going on

[malcharion]

Beautiful dude! how long does it take you to do all those tribal markings? It's a stunning army

 

Nemac

Thank you man ;) . The tribal marking are not as complicated as on my Carcharodons so it's not too long ^^

 

Really great army, hope to see it grow soon!

Haha ! Me too, because I'm diying too play those crows !

Thanks ! still a lot to do but I'm happy with how the army turn out :)

[vharing]

Hey Malcharion, do you use a brush or markers to draw the tribal on you models?

Hi Vharing ! I only use brush to make the tribal marks :)

[malcharion]

Hi there !! Here is some news !

 

First the Raven guards with a finished tactical squad :

Then we go for another Carcharodon project. Wanted to make a Forge lord for my 8th company and Ma'o Toa "the Hammerhead" is born

But it's not enough.. As you know Carcharodon are one of the best at recycling looted equipment and Ma'o Toa is a king at this game.. He never show up on the battlefield without is favourite looted treasure :

Yeeep that's what you think

 

Hope you'll like those adds !

[BeatTheBeat]

Ooooh, looking forward to some backstory on this guy. Love all your armies, amazing stuff really. Keep it up!

Cheers,

[The Traitor]

The Raven Guard tacticals look great and your paintjob is seamless as usual, but I still think that the bases are a bit plain, specially considering how cool are the ones of your Carcharodons.

Also Ma'o Toa is amazing, the helmet mask is specially badass! Can't wait to see the automata painted.

[KrautScientist]

That Forgelord is amazing: A fantastic conversion (where's that clawed hand from, by the way -- it seems familiar, but I cannot quite place it), and a brilliant paintjob to boot! The only thing I am not 100% sold on is that strange Landspeeder antenna bit -- I think something more arcane would work even better with the rest of the model.

 

But this guy is lovely. Thumbs up! :)

Claw (and sword) are from the Carnosaur kit. Had me fooled for a few seconds too.

[Vairocanum]

The raven guard are looking great, but the forge lord is seriously brilliant work. Looking forward to the looted automata!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Holy crap man, that Forgelord is looking goooood. A brilliant conversion - with a very original paint job to boot. The way the mechanicum red integrates with the charcharodon's grey and tribals is seamless. I will echo Kraut about the antenna, but that's a minor thing. 

[Tekman]

lovely paint job on the forgelord, going to perpetuate the echo here and say that the landspeeder antenna looks off.

[Kelborn]

Your tactical squad made me smile again.

 

But that Forgelord and his little friend though....

Love you painting. Especially that glow effect on the ravenguard.

Thanks Dudes ! I'll try to keep on postings some WIP for the Automata ;)

Thanks man ! You're a reference when it came to conversion so your opinion on the antenna will count double ^^ (2 so far*)

Thanks ! it will come soon : )

HAhA ! Thanks a lot !

Thank you Steamius, I've put a lot of time in thoses ^^

 

 

For the antenna things now that you say it, it seems a little bit off yeah maybe a thinner one would be good ? Or just rip it off the model and not replacing it ?

 

Well Thanks you for your advices ;)

 

In the meantime here is a start on "Da Looted Beast" aka "Gro0t"

Well that's just a start and there is a lot more to do but we are in the WIP section so ... ^^

 

As always feel free for C&Cs  !

 

Malchy / Nebriuson

[Kizzdougs]

The Forge Lord looks fantastic :tu:

[m0nolith]

Love the aesthetics!

Fantastic work mate!

[Karl_von_Krieg]

Wonderful my dear Malchy! 

Keep going! :)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Is the Forge Lord bearing an Eldar weapon (the left hand) to demonstrate martial prowess, to provoke the xenos (and radical Inquisitors who traffic with them), to exploit its destructive power, or simply to show off?

[KrautScientist]

I think replacing the antenna with something like the antenna bit from the Skitarii Vanguard/Rangers might look great -- but only if you want to. It already is a fantastic model, after all!

 

Those decorations work so well on that Iron Circle model -- it's Heresy, of course, but lovely to look at ;)

[airinhere]

Awesome work on "Groot"  Your conversions always come out so clean.  It really works with the Carcharodon theme.

[Augustus b'Raass]

You could clip off the antenna rightabove the first bit that attached to the armour - right where it gets thinner. Drill a 1mm hole in what's left and stick in a straight piece of paperclip that is sanded smooth at the top. That's what I do with my antennas and it yields a very convincing (imo) and most of all sturdy antenna, that will last.

[hushrong]

Tao is awesome. Love the paint job on the helm.

 

Groot is also great. This may be blasphemous for me as I love Iron Warriors but it's nice to see that Iron Circle in something other than metallic. The freehand tribal markings are still fantastic.
