GrandMagnus Posted Tuesday at 03:06 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 03:06 PM Final 2 boyz of the squad Ive been working on. To think this kit has been looking at me for aboyt 3 years its so NICE to fibslly have it all done. As you know, Im doing a primarily bad moonz army. What do I mean by that? Well the tribe includes all the klan kultures of the orks, because I like to think thats how orks work. After all their kulture is more like a sect within the ork tribes. So for example my walkers, meks and tankbusters will be deff skulls and to represent this I will use yellow armoue with blue details. Vehicles will be evil sunz, so yellow with red details, etc. Now my BOYZ, are the orks who may not yet have found their calling. So they will be a bit of a weird mix. You can see one of them wears camouflage, I have a couple of other boyz with camouflage in variois patterns. My thought process being that perhabs these boyz have begun to take a liking to the ways of the kommandoz but have reached the peak of their adaptation. 1 10 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388765-behold-my-stuff/page/2/#findComment-6194739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM And back to space marines, specifically the Taurans, whose lore (fanon) Ive been expanding. For aesthetical vibes I am mostly going for 75% imperial space marine and only a light light cultural touch. Because well, I'm not really a fan of chapters lile Space Wolves or Minotaurs who are so on the nose "historical". So Ive been sculpting tonight. This flask is meant to be a ceramic urn containing the ashes of a dead battle brother, a close friend and companion of this marine. i sculpted the body of the urn from a piece of sprue, slowly cutting and sanding it down. The straps are made of miliput and not super beautiful but Im still learning so its psrt of the process. The green stuff cap was painted on in 3 layers with liquid green stuff. 2 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388765-behold-my-stuff/page/2/#findComment-6194793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to oblige. Here is the first ork kommando I did, still 9 more to go Obviously painted as blood axes, but with the yellow details to tie them into my Bad Moonz warband. 1 10 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388765-behold-my-stuff/page/2/#findComment-6194832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted Wednesday at 07:29 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 07:29 PM Oh yeah. And another of my all time favorite. The blood angels smash captain! I really went all in with the NMM on this one. Its also the last Blood Angel I painted and I can never seem to get good enough pictures of him. 1 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388765-behold-my-stuff/page/2/#findComment-6194933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GedofParagon Posted Friday at 04:14 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:14 PM I especially love the tiny blue crackles of energy coming off of the front of a smash captain's hammer! 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388765-behold-my-stuff/page/2/#findComment-6195173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Garibaldi Posted Friday at 04:17 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:17 PM This is some superb painting and a masterclass in freehand work, loving your use of colour and the 'Eavy metal style. If you can get a hold of some regular two part green stuff and mix it in to your milliput it becomes much easier to work with and also has the added benefit of being sandable, cure time shortens a touch but the material properties more than make up for this. If I was going to do something like leatherwork or webbing I would probably go with pure greenstuff due to its elastic nature it's stickyness is also helpful in regards to the draping property. That paint scheme on the last fig is awesome. totally diggin' the crisp highlights 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388765-behold-my-stuff/page/2/#findComment-6195174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for me then that I still have a lot of old (still good) greenstuff but Im very new when it comes to sculpting. I have a buddy who does comission sculpting in Madrid, he did a couple of minis Ive worked on for other people. He is helping me out a lot when it comes to the tips and tricks. Thank you all for the kind words. Being on the Eavy Metal team would be an impossible dream haha since I can't just up and move to the UK. But it has been something I've had dreams about haha 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388765-behold-my-stuff/page/2/#findComment-6195184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted Friday at 04:51 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 04:51 PM Speaking of my friend in Madrid he did the sculpting snd conversion work on thos squat and I did the paintjob. OSL is still something Im getting the hang of, but I do like how this volkite, plasma looking weapon turned out. I am not super thrilled with the sword, but it is what it is. 3 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388765-behold-my-stuff/page/2/#findComment-6195186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted yesterday at 01:24 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:24 AM There is a pretty useful basic primer for GS sculpting here: Obviously you can consult your friend, but there is some good advice there. 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388765-behold-my-stuff/page/2/#findComment-6195230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago Did I mention I hate decals? I need to practice, so I decided to practice a bit. Dear god I hate decals, but I really should learn haha Sargeant marking. Tactical marking for 3rd squad. In regards to unit markings, I have decided to use the following (nice and old codex compliant icons): The ones marked with a blue circle.

The Pounder Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I don’t have enough positive words for what you’re doing here! Decals are a great way to add those little details that would be a ball ache to freehand. I’m sure an artist of your calibre will get the hang of them soon enough!
