PeteySödes Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Yea i really do like those helms on mkX. They always read a bit "Dorny" to me but its likely the only context id seen that conversion. It totally makes sense we would have those with a high number of mkIII. Cant wait to see you paint them, i think your style will really make them look brutal! Triszin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazzmos Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 @sbarnby71 Ta! I like the idea of squads picking up certain helmets and adapting them while out on extended crusades, but most importantly for me it just needs to look cool :D@peteysodes Yeah, I realised quickly that people associate certain helmet types with certain chapters. I've never played or gotten into HH (apart from Wolves backstory), is MKIII something that Wolves are more known for? I've been looking at them for a few days and I'm warming to them. I think I'll paint them up with them on and can just replace them if I really don't like the look I can swap them out. The fallback is just more beardy heads! sbarnby71 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazzmos Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 After sleeping on it and doing a bit of Instagram browsing, I think I've got a new plan. I really like the Soul Haunters that ThunderWulfen has designed: I think I might try something similar, but with more like war paint on the helmet, and try using a technique show by Vince Venturella by mixing pigment and paint: I'm starting with this guy: NightHowler, Triszin, infyrana and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Does he shave down the helmet, or sculpt on it? Those are some good looking helmets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 His Soul Haunters have a lovely gray armour, will take a peek at the youtube link when I get done at work, as youtube does not work on my company PC Have you puttied the grill to smooth out the faceplate? Some liquid GS might be the way to go, to get that blank face plate you are going for, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorin Helm-splitter Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) I love that the soul haunters model is a hell blaster. That army is going to look really aggressive :). Edited September 4, 2020 by Jorin Helm-splitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I love that the soul haunters model is a hell blaster. That army is going to look really aggressive :).Agreed - I’m really looking forward to how my Assault Hellblasters look with some Assault Intercessor bodies/legs. Chazzmos, that’s some nice inspiration you found there, but I have to come back to “I really like the Mk3 helms on Tacticus armor.” :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazzmos Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 @Dantay Those Soul Haunters are some of my favourite marines, so grimdark and full of character. I haven't smoothed the faceplate fully yet, I will put some greenstuff or other putty over the top to smooth it out. Maybe even just some gloss varnish. @Jorin Thunderwulfen has got some amazing conversions on Instagram, they all look particularly fierce. @Bryan I would love pretty much all running legs for my army :D I do like the Mk3 too, I just need to find the right models for it... I'm not certain these guys are it. I resculpted the hair on my Blade Guard that I wasn't happy with. Still not my favourite one, but it's an improvement: NightHowler, Dantay VI, ranulf the revenant and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Bladeguard's hair, beard, and fur loincloth are well-sculpted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazzmos Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'm getting my batch on and will go for the MkIII helmets, I saw a photo with some more gold on them and thought they looked great!

Chazzmos Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 @tangoalphatwo Thanks mate! I'm keen to get some paint on them and see how they look. I've made a bit of progress on the Assault Intercessors, though I need to get to the Bladguard to get ready for a tournament in a few weeks time. The MkIII is working for me :D ranulf the revenant, Triszin, PeteySödes and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazzmos Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 @Bjorn Thanks friend :D Almost done with the Assault Intercessors, just a few bits and bobs to finish off, and I'm on to getting some base coats and highlights on my Blade Guard: HvitrValdyr, TiguriusX, tangoalphatwo and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazzmos Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 @Triszin You shall have no shame Triszin, your wolves are amazing! And that gunship you're working on.... @PeteySodes I usually use a cheap, foldable light booth with some lamps, but that photo of the Blade Guard was just a white piece of paper and light from my window in the morning. I just use my Pixel 4XL phone to take photos. I need to make sure I get enough light in the future, as that photos really shows what some bright light does!

Chazzmos Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Bit of WIP on my Judiciar. Almost done, just need to get some more colours in the shadows, particularly on the cloak so it contrasts a little more with the armour. I'm thinking about putting a wolf next to him as well...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The Judiciar is beautifully painted and detailed. How will you decorate his base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
