asmodai650 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Drakkar Windrider had asked about one of my freinds mini's I made for him, so I figured I would share the pics with everyone. Yes, there are mold lines, but I'm not planning on entering a contest with them anytime soon, their just for friendly games. I enjoy conveting my marines more than painting or playing, actually. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/asmodai650/d.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/asmodai650/c.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/asmodai650/b.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/asmodai650/a.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89296-a-few-berzerker-champions-for-my-friends-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyarl Deathaxe Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Holy hell! Thats some good conversion work there asmodai650 i especially like the converted axe, ive done some similar things with my own world eaters army. Goodstuff Nick ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89296-a-few-berzerker-champions-for-my-friends-army/#findComment-1027007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalifax Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Those beserkers are really nice ;) i like the howwge axe especially, but IMO it could do with something between the join of the blades and the haft, like more skulls!

Chronophague Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Am I the only one sensing a contradiction here... Yes, there are mold lines, but I'm not planning on entering a contest with them anytime soon Versus I enjoy conveting my marines more than painting or playing, actually. You like to convert models, but you're still too lazy to remove mold lines? Mold lines have nothing to do with painting contests, it's about making the model look decent, no matter your skill with a brush.

NoxI Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I agree with Chronophague. However, nice conersions. One thing I would suggest with the big axe is putting some greenstuff in the gaps between the blades and haft. It looks a little... iffy. Good Job!

asmodai650 Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Now that I look at it through the web, the axe handle does need something. I'll see if I can find some string to do some banding around the handles, and maybe a skull or two. Never enough for the blood god! RANT MODE ON: @ Chronophague: I can handle comments and such, but to call me lazy just really pisses me off. If that is all you have to add, and nothing constructive, then next time please don't post. The mold lines are staying, as this is just a hobby for me. I have no concerns about great paint-jobs or winning any awards. If someone doesn't like the way my models turn out, then no sweat off my back. For me, 40k is a way to relax in the evenings. If I manage to play a few games and maybe win one, even better. Just don't call me lazy. Period. RANT MODE OFF.

Brother Lysander Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Some decent minis there, good character. However, I think the last one looks a little too much like his roots, eg. a fantasy chaos warrior. It doesn't look like power armour IMO. I'm not a fan of the giant axe either, but it is original, just a bit too much for me.

Removing mold lines is like, page 2 of GWs beginners guide. Anywayl, scraping off mold lines takes a few seconds. If you don't have time to do it, I don't know other words for it than "lazy"? Unattentive? Taking off mold lines isn't a "pro-painter" thing, it isn't even a "good" painter or converter thing. It's basics of assembling almost any plastic kit. And anyone who doesn't scrape them off, are viewed by most gamers/modellers(not only in the GW models community) as lazy. Not taking off mold lines is the classic "I'm too lazy" gamers approach. It's not difficult, it doesn't require just about any time or skill. You can call it whatever you want, but I think not removing mold lines is lazy. Espessially if you say you like converting and building stuff. Then the penultimate sacrifice of a few extra seconds shouldn't hurt at all. Mold lines are flaws in the miniature. It's like having a hole in the head of marine, except now there's a unnatural thin line type protrusion running across his features. How weird is that. I dunno, but I don't see the satisfaction in making models that are blemished. Just my point of view, spit on it as much as you like.

asmodai650 Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Chronophague, lets just agree to disagree. It's nothing personal at all against you. I've seen your iron warriors, and I'll probably never get to the point your at painting or modeling. Like I said I do this for fun, and have never really been bothered by mold lines. I know that they're a flaw created in the molding process at the individual halves. I just have a personal pet-peve about being called lazy. I bust my butt all day at my job, and I have since I've had a job. As I said, 40k is just a way of relaxing for me. Thats why I mentioned the mold lines at the top of the post. I knew that it would be mentioned, so I tried to stop it in advance.

Chronophague Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Nothing personal at all about this, I just enjoy debating stuff in general. I don't just see mold lines as a big issue, but if you seriously want your models to have them, by all means do. Try scraping them off one model at times, you might start to enjoy the habit ;) After all, most people will want to end up becoming better at what they do, and removing mold lines is part of that process. Calling you a lazy modeller, has nothing to do with hard you work in real life, and you can be a lazy modeller but a hard worker, different aspects of work. But just as in work, you have to earn your pay, and if you don't scrape off those mold lines, I will call you a lazy "modeller" ;) Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89296-a-few-berzerker-champions-for-my-friends-army/#findComment-1027273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratoKhan Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Why no shoulderpads? The conversions are good, but seeing the mold lines spoils my enjoyment of what are essentially good models. A file and a couple of minutes is all it takes. Let me put it this way, would they look worse if you took off the mold lines? No, they'd look better. Anyways, is that giant axe made from a Dark Eldar vehicle?

How can you do a good conversion without scraping off the mould lines? they get in the way, make parts not join as well as they could, let alone how horrible they look. Also, suggesting you do something to improve the appearance of your models is constructive criticism. -Legacy40k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89296-a-few-berzerker-champions-for-my-friends-army/#findComment-1027562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
