The Ouroboros Crusade. Old to new, the Crusade continues.

[Eberious]

The crosses are off of existing bits, or certain areas of a part. Then cut/modified onto the model.

Ah okay.

 

I guess I'll have to try my luck with blue stuff then

[Eberious]

You'll be surprised how easy it is. Best £8 odd I've spent in a while.

:cuss yea! Thats what I come here for!

Would you be willig to share the recipe for the sword in the very first picture?

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work, Eberius.

[librisrouge]

Holy cow! That is some amazing work, sir. I can feel the zeal from here.

[Marshal Vespasian]

Also: how Are you doing These bases? They look great! Edited October 30, 2019 by Marshal Vespasian

The practical battle damage is a really nice touch. Adds a very photo-real aspect to the piece. Are you using a rounded drill head or a hot knife tool?

[DranuTemplar]

Where did you get the shoulder for the first guy you just posted (the one with the huge sword).

Nope , it's a Mk3 shoulder pad with the rounded bit cut out. Then a BT pad from the upgrade sprue, trimmed the outer bits off leaving the cross and fitted it to the Mk3. filed while the glue is still a little wet to fill in the small lines/gaps between the two parts.   

 

If you have a look at page one and scroll down you'll see. I'll be using a fair bit of this style throughout my army. You can see the same design on other marines in this thread. cheers.

 

 

@Marshal Vespasian, the sword is greyseer primer, bt contrast, the highlights up and down the blade and edges are, as i recall, stegadon scale green and then built up with temple guard blue. then a final slight whip of temple guard blue for the extreme edge highlight.

 

The bases: I build a support structure underneath onto what would be the top plate/main area, glue it to the base.Then attach a shell of plasticard around the sides(usually fairly thin plasticard, 1mm thick) and build the steps up. Then use general COD bits  and other gubbins to decorate. Then from plasticard I make the tiles and details,  file, scrape and score it until detailed enough. Then any other details, spent shells, the dead, battlefield scrap etc. 

 

@TheOneTrueZon, aye, various drill bits turned by hand, but also use a hobby knife. So a mix.

Wow thats a surprisingly easy recipe for an incredible effect. Wouldn't have thought about doing it that way though.

 

On the topic of your bases: you might have the dubious honour of having decided for me, how I'll base my heresy era fists.

For normal dudes I will propably Stick to just some tiles, but for Dreads and characters I wanted to do some strais and so on.

Howd you paint this? (that being said, I'll propably habe to paint it as Black or green marble to go with my fists.

Oops. My bad.

Great work! Shoulder pad looks very good!

[Hymnblade]

Can I ask how you paint the bases for that marble look?

[Eberious]

You may ask.....

lol, was just going to leave it at that, but I won't.

 

Think it was  Greyseer spray base > Almost dry brush screamming skull lightly to colour but not to make it a solid colour > think it was a 50/50 agrax earth shade/medium to thin it out. > then dry brush screamming skull again to pick out highlights.  > then some careful agrax and or nuln oil mix for the cracks and such.

 

I honestly can't remember exactly. next time I run it, which should be soon I'll keep a closer note.  

[Eberious]

A little Christmas Templar bauble, as is my tradition to make a little something each year. 

 

[Eberious]

And the food side, ginger and cinnamon BT biscuits for my tiny Templars (kids and the missus). Big one is for me... obviously, lol. 

 

Didn't come out right but meh. It's all down the hatch anyways.

I give you Grimaldus.

 

Just the right amount of Blackest of black and white. 

 

 

I'm also back to painting stuff after a break. But anyone that knows me I have these periods. I'll have that Redemptor Chaplain Dreadnought painted soon. Just working on a heavy onslaught cannon for it. But, I thought I'd share this as just got him today. Going to have to get him a Templar cross ID tag.   

[Medjugorje]

well. Thats the model as youngest Sword Brethren^^

[Marshal Reinhard]

Floof!

[Eberious]

Battle Brothers! I give you..
