Callas Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Ahh, I was wondering when this would be back - lots and lots of inspiration-type goodness will be mine to unashamedly steal.... :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85151-jokers-blog-is-back/#findComment-984848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheex Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Beautiful, except he almost looks like he's about to pounce on that purity seal :wub: Regardless, flawless painting style as always, joker :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85151-jokers-blog-is-back/#findComment-984983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I like the CXXI... a very subtle but clever touch. They're looking promising, Joker. I look forward to seeing them later on.

Broken Fang Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 A little off topic, I'm sorry, but I'm loving the Vet. Sarge Ajax. Such a simple conversion, yet offers such a menacing look. Consider the pose stolen. :ph34r: :) (If I ever get around to actually working on minis...)

StratoKhan Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 BANNER - Nice work, it's good to see a very simple design, that however is intricate at the same time. Is he praying? Maybe a bowed head would have been better, I haven't made up my mind yet. Regardless, I really like it. BROTHER PONT - He has a great pose, I really like the way he's holding his melta. EYE LENSES - They look good right now. The red will work very well with the black. Mortifactors are black and bone aren't they?

Callas Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 You know, you could just keep them as they are - because those eyes on matt black Marines are seriously intimidating - perhaps have them emergig from a tunnel or something? :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85151-jokers-blog-is-back/#findComment-985147 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt_Tiberius Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Wow! I really dig that banner and am excited to see how these guys ( and the Lamenter :) ) turn out. My only critique is that...

Callas Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I actually think the captain looks better for the head swap, less a charging nutter, more a dignified, commander-like 'Look, I'm going to walk up to you and carve you up - and there's nothing you can do to stop me, okay?'

Jokersminis Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 UPDATES! I added a halo and some script to the banner. The phrase is latin, and says Memento Mori which can be translated as 'Remember the Dead' or 'Be Reminded You Will Die'. http://jokersminiatures.com/BALT06/Mortifactors/bannerFinal2.jpg I also put the replacement model up for 40k Single, and started work on that.

Ahmato Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 What can I say ;) By the way, how was the banner made? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85151-jokers-blog-is-back/#findComment-988032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyinghippo Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I feel really stupid but what is the significance of CXXI Molotov was talking about? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85151-jokers-blog-is-back/#findComment-988059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Tiberius Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Yeah, that halo is sweet. I like the phrase (very approriate) but I'm not wild about the way it is done. But that's my opinion. I'm really excited to see how your pieces turn out. You said you had some fantasy stuff for the GD as well, Is there any place I can look at them? Keep up the good work. <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85151-jokers-blog-is-back/#findComment-988118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I feel really stupid but what is the significance of CXXI Molotov was talking about? Don't feel stupid. CXXI (Latin for '121') represents the one hundred and twenty-one days the B+C was offline - unless Joker's got another reason for having it on there. <_< By the way, how was the banner made? It's the banner from the Blood Angels honour guard - with the blood-drop snipped off and replaced with a skull.

gebann Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I always check your posts Joker. Your work is always imaginative,super detailed and over all excellent qquality. Looking foward to seeing more. gebann Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85151-jokers-blog-is-back/#findComment-988207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratoKhan Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hey Joker, the halo is great, very nicely done, and it adds a lot to to the banner, but I think that although the phrase you've chosen and painted is fitting, the execution of it detracts from the banner's appearance. It looks a bit rushed unfortunately. =( Mostly however, I think the banner is very cool.

flyinghippo Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I got the 121 part but I wasnt sure why 121 had any significance. cool :jaw: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85151-jokers-blog-is-back/#findComment-988327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Desmodus Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Looks very cool so far, love the banner and the white helmet. :wub: Eye lenses need more highlights though IMO. I'd add Fiery Orange or similar in a thin line-shape along the front/lower lense, at least.
