Yosef Hausakluif Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Work in progress of my version of Thulsa Kane. Looking for feedback as this model draws closer to completion. What else should I work on? Keep in mind I’ve still gotta paint one eye, and some other details. But let me know what you think.

Ryltar Thamior Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Really cool use of a somewaht unexpected base miniature for the concept. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 @Ryltar Thamior; thanks! I was always planning on doing a converted model of his character, and was going to go the traditional skull helmed chaplain route, but between the CSM executioner’s huge axe (Lifetaker) and the bone elements of the armor (Grendel’s bones) the body was a good fit. Then the row we helms are pretty cool and a few bits later what you see is what I made. Glad u liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Personally, I would have used a different left arm+shoulder pad, as while the model looks really nice, he kind of still reads a bit too much as the Master of Executions. Also: I would have filled in the divot on the cloak where the arm with heads normally would attach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) @Gederas; thanks for the feedback. I hear you about the left arm/shoulder pad as I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to carve up the initial base model’s arms and shoulders and have to resculpt as a result. Idea was a quick and easy conversion. Not sure what divot you’re seeing as it may be a result of the pic and lighting. Do you mean where the plasma pistol hand attaches? Regardless; much appreciate the constructive criticism! (Rethinking the left shoulder pad and maybe make a sculpted chapter symbol instead of tilt plate/ shield i attached... AND I see the divot on the cloak now! Wow totally missed that. Maybe an opportune placed purity seal will do as don’t want to have to GS it and re blend and wash that section again. Thanks for the catch !! Edited March 19, 2020 by Yosef Hausakluif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've seen enough people using the Master of Executions as the basis for a conversion and not filling in that divot or covering it that it makes it feel like people are lazy about it :lol: And no problem, glad to help!

Yosef Hausakluif Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 So made some changes to the left shoulder pad as that old metal tilt plate/shield was way too thick and much happier with the result overall: And also filled the divot which I didn’t even notice until pics made it obvious; once I saw it I couldn’t unsee it ! Simple fix: Now to get the fixes painted up; and thanks again for the feedback about improving the overall model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 So more progress on the big guy. Still not 100% happy with the left Shoulder pad. Thinking maybe sculpt a pelt instead of sculpt some bones as armor. What do you think!? Also noticed I really need to use a little red or purple wash for his empty eye socket to differentiate it form the other and clean up the skull helm respirator on that side too. Pics really help with what you’ve missed and time painting a Reiver helm for me. Any advice welcome, especially for the shoulder and chapter insignia giving me grief.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Excellent work on Chapter Master Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Repainted the face/eye socket and helm; and solved my issue with the shoulder pad; kept it simple and painted it all black (duh). Looks soo much better IMHO. Pics to follow soon to finish. Gallery upload says they’re too large so have to retake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Finally happy with the face after some old school purple ink and then re done bleached bone on the death mask. And kept it simple, back in Black: (Looks much better, simpler and less busy) Brother Pheidias 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
