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

[Eberious]

yep, plain platicard heated up over the oven using smooth plyers to hold it. Then using things like large felt tip pens or some of my thicker paint brush handles to bend it around. While using the plyers to bend and manipulate the plastic to where I want it. 

 

Heated multiple times and re-bent, just like forging metal work I suppose.

Once again it's been a while, was taken back a little of just how long. 

 

Been working on painting The Chaplain Dreadnought, got so far before being side tracked by this little beast. Wanted to make it now so while I paint the rest of the model its tied into the same level. Annd, I wanted to. Needed something a little bulkier than the standard onslaught as it looked puny when equipped to the overall bulk of the Chaplain. 

 

So slapped this together. 

 

 

 

 

Under-slung ammo barrel with motor assistance.

 

 

 

Magnetized of course.

 

 

Looks a little awkwardly big here, but it balances well. Didn't want to much of the paint work so far shown(rather it be finished first)

 

Oh, And I've also removed the plasma cannons I had on the chest area and reduced them to Storm Bolters. Decided in the end was a bit much on the front and was a bit of a distraction.  

 

Can get back to painting now.

Holy smokes, this is amazing. That onslaught cannon is perfect, just the right combination of brutal weapon and gothic ornamentation. The melted wax from the candles around the banner base is really nicely done too.

This chaplain dread makes me cry pure GOTHIC tears of joy when I look at him!
Fantastic work on the gatling!

[Monstra Sumus]

Nice to see you continuing work on Chapnought!

[Eberious]

Thanks very much all, was just checking the thread to see where I got up to in terms of posts and, sorry I hadn't replied before was going to then forgot... clearly.  :( 

 

Just a little picture-less update. Progress has been slow, almost finished the main body of the Chaplain now. Taking ages as had to relearn some painting techniques and make some changes. However with the teaser of something on the way for Templars it certainly is motivating me to to crank it up somewhat.  

 

Would also just like to say, it's hotter then a melta gun here in the UK right now, especially where I live.

Holy cow! Great dreadnought. I love it when marines get a lot of "bling"

[Eberious]

Thanks space wolf, 

 

annnd.. at this late stage in the Chaplain Dread I've have decided to remodel parts. The arms mostly. Going to make a left arm and fist a right arm and fist holding the hammer aloft and the gun arm on the left. 

 

Might also strip some gubbins details off, it's either I'm fed up of looking at it or there might just be a tad to much bling on him. Only slightly mind. 

 

Anyone have a complete Redemptor left arm spare ?  found a few online or I might just buy another dread as planning on a third anyways and just swap the arms around. 

[Eberious]

Left fist right fist. 

 

Had a few other pics but I think there is an issues with my camera, think it corrupting the pics. Not sure how I managed this one. 

 

Anyways, stripped the ammo box thing off carefully to be reattached. Some plasticard work and once again using the oven hobs to bend the card into shape. Few gaps to fill in and should be fine. Better then shelling out £29 plus VAT per fist off of a certain 3d printing site.

 

 

 

Planning to angle the base platform that the fingers connect to, to help with the forward motion on the hammer position. Might have to knock up some internal hydraulics if the base has to come out so far. Should be noted that the pics show the base not quite sitting inline with the knuckle coverings/sockets. I had knocked it slightly with my finger when taking the pics and not noticed, everything matches up. 

 

Think its time to strip the hammer and gubbins off the original arm.

missed you updating this thread way back in may... that  chaplain dreadnought gun makes me moist 

[Eberious]

No worries, and I'm not sure what to say....

Managed to get a fair bit done on this last night. Successfully created a right fist out of the left, tilted the hand section forwards, removed the hammer from old fist and fitted, re-positioned the gatling cannon and moved the knuckle skulls and chain clasp across. A busy knight, get it... Still some decoration and chains to add, but will do that once glued to the rest of the model.

Every time I come to this thread:

 

[Eberious]

Thanks both,  

 

and hahaha, that guy.  cheers means a lot. :) 

[Guest Triszin]

Glorious

[Custom Hero]

Awesome work!

[Eberious]

Thank you both.

 

Shouldn't be to long before the whole Dread is painted. Almost finished the dual cannon gun. 

[reckoning]

Can't believe I missed this until now. By far the best primaris templars I've seen and some truly inspirational pieces.

 

Happy to have you back!

[Eberious]

Thank you reckoning, for your kind words. It's good to be more active here, I usually dip in and out for periods of time which I hate doing as some folks are watching for updates and the like. But, with a certain launch/update on the way I'm guessing I'm going to be a lot more active. 

[space wolf]

Very fine work. I don't play templars, but you got the ol conversion juices flowing anyway. Very inspirational!

[Red_Shift]

Your work is fantastic. I actually got emailed your Emperors champion miniature picture by Pinterest and I’ve spent a happy half hour scrolling through the thread. Well done!

[Eberious]

Thank you very much, I think sites like pinterest and instagram share my stuff around more than I do, lol.  Always good to know though. :) 

[Marshal Reinhard]

Ah, my heart always skips a beat when I see this thread updated, even before I know its just more (extremely well deserved) praise....
