Maldreth Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone, A little while ago I send three Thousand Sons Sorcerers riding Disks of Tzeentch to a commission painter. I am hoping to have them back by the end of the month. In the mean time I have been working on a display base for them which I wanted to share here. It's supposed to look like they ripped a temple out of the ground and are using it to travel around. I am going to add three more floating rocks above the main structure to add more height. I am very happy with it so far and I can't wait to start painting it Thanks for looking!

BubblesMcBub Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Awesome work! So just one question are you gonna put anything on the big floating platform or is that the temple? Anyway really cool i think i am gonna "borrow" this idea can't wait to see it painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway really cool i think i am gonna "borrow" this idea can't wait to see it painted! Hey, thanks for the compliment! The pictures don't really show it all too well but the models are on scenic bases like the ones to the side of the platform. The large open space will be where the main sorcerer will go. This will hopefully give the effect of a cracked egyptian temple floor. Floating above the main rock structure will be smaller rocks with the two other sorcerers and familiars. Like this little one, preparing some nefarious ritual for his masters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maldreth Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the compliments everyone! I hope to receive the sorcerers in about three weeks time. Hopefully the base will be completed by then and I'll be sure to post pictures of them on it. Painting starts tomorrow, after I've picked up several pots of texture paint Edited August 4, 2017 by Maldreth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldreth Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Painting has begun! Unfortunately I vastly underestimated the amount of texture paint I would need for this project :P Progress continues when I have gone to the store to pick up more. Thanks for looking!

BubblesMcBub Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Just curious how many pots of texture paints do you think you need fo this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldreth Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 It took around two pots to get to this stage. You keep seeing the horizontal lines after painting on a single layer of paint. It takes several layers to build up a smooth effect and make it look like solid rock. I'm still not entirely satisfied with the smaller platforms so they will probably get another layer in certain places. When I build something similar in the future, I'll probably coat the cork in a layer of modelling sand before putting the texture paint on.
