binary Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 (edited) There are many times that a big project can be overwhelming and I can feel like I’m either getting bored or burnt out. So, when I feel it’s that time I pick up something different, usually a character conversion, something with a story to it. and now this is where I’m going to post each as I work on them, as well as the ones I’ve completed. firstly a necromunda bounty hunter, Kazarto Van Sharpe, former palanite enforcer and now hunting the criminals of the ashwastes.

binary Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 My second is a duel scene I’ve had ideas about for a while, and this gave me a chance to experiment with weathering and different textures. “You Shall Not Pass” and Underhive juve against a piloted ambot. I wanted the ambiguity of not knowing who was the attacker and who was defending.

binary Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 Thirdly are a couple of WIPs first is the Palanite enforcer Prowler class Heavy pursuit vehicle. given the nature of the underhive I felt the Palanites would have a heavier rapid response vehicle that could handle both the hive and the ashwastes.

binary Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 (edited) And my most recent (and mostly complete) character. Kalgaro Thrice-born, former Seige master of the XIV legion, daemon Prince of Nurgle i wanted to imagine what would happen to the twisted soul of Gremus Kalgaro after his “death” at the hands of the White scars at the lions gate spaceport. He would also become not only the first Nurgle miniature id painted but also my first foray into the Grimdark style. he’s about 90% done… Edited October 14 by Firedrake Cordova Fixed formatting Dr_Ruminahui, Rusted Boltgun, Tallarn Commander and 6 others 4 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386883-character-distractions-or-how-i-get-my-motivation-back/#findComment-6136154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 (edited) Nice stuff - particularly like your enforcer buggy, great idea, great execution. The water on the bridge fight is also fantastic.

Tallarn Commander Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Wow! These are some impressive dioramas. I especially like the rust on Kalgaro and the bridge. Did you use Dirty Down?

Firedrake Cordova Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 They're all great, but I especially like the duel dioramas With the Palanite vehicle, you're right - in one of the Warhammer Crime novels (I want to say Grim Repast of Wraithbone Phoenix, but that might be wrong), they discuss the Sanctioners using something akin to a Rhino/Chimera cross, so I imagine they'll have some other things, too.

binary Posted Wednesday at 08:32 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 08:32 AM “And here I stand, again. Thrice blessed by the grandfather. I will see the walls fall again. I will see the sons of the storm fall. And we shall enjoy it. Won’t we Ulceraxis?” Kalgaro Thrice-born. Former seige master of the XIV legion. Struck down at the Lions Gate, and resurrected from the plague soaked ruins of Holy Terra. Now proceeded by his herald, the plague bearer Ulceraxis he stalks the sons of the Khan across the stars. And that’s the Daemon Prince Kalgaro Thrice-born finished. I wanted to go properly grimdark, weathered, and as disgusting as I could with this. He started as a Deredeo dreadnought (thought it’d be appropriate for a siege master) and went crazy from there. Loved playing around with the Villany inks and other special effect stuff for the weathering. What’s everyone think? Disgusting enough?
