Ovidius Incertus Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Love it! Would happily use something like that for my 31k Flesh Tearers. One quibble, though: shouldn't one of the eagles be blind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Those designs look excellent. Only thing I would say is eagles and laurels are more at home on Ultrasmurfs but less so on Flesh Tearers; that's just my opinion of course. Reason being is that Blood Angels and their successors are more based around the renaissance whereas ultrasmurfs are greco-roman. Also, I love the fluff about the tearers being much darker and I think if you could pull that theme into your designs that would be awesome.

kansuke Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thank You All @Ovidius yess one of the eagle heads must be blind but I will do this later cause wen i Print it, i will flip it several times. If I do it now I will do it wrong for sure! @Lamenter Eagle is imperial symbol so I think I'ts Allways ok. However I will try A version without laurels.

Mr Yellow Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 How about a winged circular saw and blood drop. Like the blood angels winged blood drop but flesh tearer-ified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Yellow Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yeah, I like that....much more grim dark without the imperial eagle and laurel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I actually prefer the first, I like seeing the chapter stuff incorporated with the eagle etc. The wings don't look 40k enough for me on the second lot. Top work all around though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I think the second set of designs is about right, a saw + just the laurel would look cool too.The FTs always seem quite austere in terms of ornamentation and low on aquilas, so I think the first designs would be a bit much.

Bronze Beast in the Dark Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Both are great, but the second reminds me more of the Blood Angels wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k0nahrik Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The first design is perfect, the blood angels have just as much Aquila iconography as the rest of the imperium. Looking great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Yellow Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Are you doing this at home? If so I think a tutorial is in order soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansuke Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 @Ashenwite: tankyou very much @Lamentermarine: yes I'm doyng this at home. There is plenty of tutorial abot this tecnique. It's usually used to make pcb board. There are several method to make an etched brass or metal. The best is photoetching but i use the simpliest toner trasfer method. To make a long story short I print (with a laser printer) the master over a sheet of press'n peel paper and then transfer it over a sheet of metal whit a hot iron. It's possible to find all you need in elettronics components store. I dont know if it permitted to post external link in this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Yeah, should be OK to post external links if you're explaining a method [not a MODERATI]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Yellow Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Thanks Kansuke, how thin is the brass? In terms of cutting your etched designs are you looking at tin snips or could yet get away with a pair of scissors? Cheers LM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansuke Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) I use not very thin shet of metal (I tink 1/2 or 1/3 of millimeter) and I use the etched sheet as a mold (or to make a mold) so I use a dremel to cut it. I think it's possible to use a thinner sheet that will be easyer to cut. If you go for a true double layer Photoetching there is no need of cut, the etch cut the sheet. tutorial: http://www.instructables.com/id/Etching-PCBs-with-PressnPeel/ I also use an acquarium heater and bubbles generator in a vertical tank to speed the etching Edited July 2, 2017 by kansuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kansuke Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 @sockwithaticket: thankyou very much. I will work on it as soon as my Magic Sculpt putty arrive (I hope a copuple of days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansuke Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 There are some problem using the etched brass as a press mould. Now i'm using a mix of green stuff and magic sculpt (30-70%). I mix the putty wait 15 minutes press a foil (whit a little of vaseline) of putti on the etched brass and wait again 30 minutes! The details are not ok. Some Advaices?
