Really like what you are doing here. That Gorgon is awesome.

[Marshal Rohr]

These Gorgons are inspiring.

Sorry for spamming with Termies but I am in a zone right now 3/5 ready!

Top notch work on these fellas. Perhaps some gore wouldn't be amiss on the fists, especially the chain fist; that's sure to make a mess.

[Stix]

Thanks! Hmmm, that is very cool idea, I am gonna test it :)

[Marshal Rohr]

Stix, are those just basic resin Cataphractii arms and legs with a Gorgon torso, or is there more to it?

[Stix]

Yes. I have only added that cog motif on lower part of legs, some tubes (but mosty at their backs when i think about it :D ) and those optical devices above their heads. And pads are modified SoH FW cataphractii upgrades.

[Brother Pheidias]

Plz keep spamming.

Thanks! That is very kind.

And here is my sarge. This squad is done for now. Time to move to something else. I should start with my immortals but geez, I am so tired of infantry! TANKS!

[Brother Dallo]

That’s a lovely black colour you’ve achieved Stix.

Amazing work brother, you make the Xth proud. I need to make a cataphractii centurion soon, consider the idea stolen!

[Marshal Rohr]

Truly amazing models

[Stix]

Thank you very much guys! :)

[Dosjetka]

These are fantastic-looking models. You've really done them justice!

 

Yes. I have only added that cog motif on lower part of legs, some tubes (but mosty at their backs when i think about it ) and those optical devices above their heads.

Is there any chance you could please go into more detail about this step? What do you use to add the cog motif? Are the tubes made out of greenstuff? What kind of optical devices have you been using?

[Stix]

Thank you so much! :)

Sure. Cog motif is super easy, I just glued those flexible decal strips from zinge (https://www.zinge.co.uk/collections/flexible-resin/products/flexible-decal-strips-large-medium-small-castellations-x-10 ). Tubes ae indeed greenstuff, I am using greenstuff world's roll maker ( http://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/roll-maker/69-roll-maker-tube-wire-machine.html ). For all  optics on top of the carapace I used bionics from some servoskulls. I have just carved them out and glued to my gorgons :D

Hope it helps, if you have any more questions feel free to ask :)

Stix, my dude, these (the Gorgon heads and Immortals wholesale) are absolutely awesome.  Seriously, they're incredible.  

 

My group's hoping to set up a Black Book 30K 'marathon', doing every single mission and campaign, and start a new army for each book.  I think you completely sold me on Iron Hands for Istvaan V.  These are the perfect scale model Iron Hands look that have a ton of character and are visually fantastic as they aren't just 'black and silver marines'.  

 

Bit of a question, how do you find the graphite behaves with varnish?  Always curious as the powders and usual additives I use tend to really mute everything down to a pretty significant degree.  May have ta hit ya up for the white recipe some time as man that's a perfect 'At twilight' look. 

 

Seriously rockin' work mate!
