Doghouse Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Marneus_Calgar_: Dark Apostle was close the head is SW but it's a WFB Beastman torso. Part of my Word Bearer army that never was, I did however refine the technique that I used on that Dark Apostle (mini not the Frater :P ) to create the Dark Angels. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90388-modelling-doghouse-pattern-gothic-marines/page/2/#findComment-1077407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellChyld Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 yep I think I'm gonna have to use this for chosen nightlords. once I add wings to them I think my chosen will have alook of their own which is what I want.

Bloodwraith Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Doghouse: is there an easier way to do those greaves? I am not good with GS, infact never used it but used it's cousin and i must say even greaves would be difficult.

Doghouse Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Nephren-ka: Great stuff! Remember to post pictures if you get the chance. :) Bloodwraith: Well, along with an update on this tutorial I'm working on a plasticard version so that Frater that aren't too confident with the old GS can have a go. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90388-modelling-doghouse-pattern-gothic-marines/page/2/#findComment-1082257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralStukov Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 yep that's exactly what Imma do to give my relictors a very ornate feeling, I love this tons thanks a bunch doghouse!! also.. if any of you have dremmel tools it might be easier to mold it with GS then sand it down abit so its the curved shape but you have to have a good eye for that..

Grey Knight Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 ok, well as promised, i will now post what i have achieved with techniques inspired by doghouse(other than my neophyte winning entry of course, that on is on the GW website and i think i made a thread for it). ok, well from start to current WIP is the mini i was going to use as my BnC mini me, but i wanted in my army too much :( brother mini dave http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/pointy_stick/DSC06861.jpg a basic layer of greenstuff, turned brown due to the larg ammount of red pigmint i had in my water( production line painting my marines, lots of red!) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/pointy_stick/DSC06866.jpg this one had another layer of GS, bigger than the last, Gsed on some oramental things, my first time sculpting chain, the chest thing turned out really well IMHO, and of course the boot was reworked to fit with the greave better. also chain on the shield, many purity seals http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/pointy_stick/DSC06867.jpg Added head, sculpted hair. sorry about the blurry pic. took this a while ago. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/pointy_stick/DSC06914.jpg and wha i have so far, my first time ever using white primer, it works WONDERFULLY! seriously, i have a mere 4 coats of red on this guy, it blends so much better than on a black undercoat, and red gre actualy sticks to white :lol: (note the helmet in particular, 4 layers and already it's blending well IMO) so there we have, the wonders of what you can do with this technique and ones like it. next up ill be trying to make some pointed feet like doghouse, little more of a challenge there.

Luther - the fallen Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 as promised, here's some WIP's of my Gothic Marines... WIP Luther..

GeneralStukov Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I like him, altho yea could clean up the GS work around the waist and feet, I'd use a file or dremmel tool to shave it down normal, other then that, I like it. Looks really cool for the chaos but then again, I like it more on the loyalist cause its.. well sexy!

Grey Knight Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Nice, nice to see everyone using this great technique in different ways, thanks again doghouse. The guardsman is awesome, you did a great job on having your mini holding him like that, as said before, a bit of fix up on the GS might help, i sanded it down a bit, which really helps, then you can use another layer to make it smoother if you feel like.

mellr0 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Aww man... if i had realised how awesome those finished marines look, i would have got ready for some converting and bought some. ill just have to get ahold of some lower torsos, and use them for the Aspiring champions of my chapter.

Gillyfish Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hello! I've been watching this tutorial for a while now and thought I would have a go at adding some Gothic pattern marines to my DA. The legs have just arrived and I hope to get to working on them sometime in the coming weeks. Doghouse, do you mind if I nick your idea? :) By the way, any tips on how to GS the greaves? My experience with green stuff has mostly been as a filler. I gather you shold leave it for a little while before smoothing it. Is that the same for the greaves? Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks, Gilyfish. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90388-modelling-doghouse-pattern-gothic-marines/page/2/#findComment-1101048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corai Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I hopw Doghouse dosn't mind me posting this here, but I was having a mess around with some of his techniques and after a semi-successful attempt at GS-ing some greaves (they weren't too smooth but it was okay becasue I covered them in PRe-Heresy Studs) I think I've been able to have a decent Stab at making a doghouse-pattern gothic marine without needing GS for anything more than filing some gaps: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/doghouse.jpg Obviously it still needs cleaning up and the foot-greave joint needs a little GS love, but a damn site quicker and easier for those of us not blesed with Doghouses' Primarch-like affinity for Green Stuff!

Chyttering Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 @ corai: Looks good, and it would definitely be easier to avoid GSing greaves... Only suggestion I have would be to sand down the left foot some so it can be flush with the base - right now it looks like he's about to sprain his ankle... ETA: Just to be sure, all you did was take the normal marine lower legs and attach them to the warrior knees, right?

LoyalSpaceMarine Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Since the post is back from the dead again, I'll mention that I was completely inspired and have several of these doghouse pattern marines in the works now. Pics to come either here or in their own thread when they're worth looking at. I'm not good with GS but this is good practice!

I second that question.. btw. I've got 18 of these buggers underway right now.. DON'T TRY MAKING AN ENTIRE ARMY!! damn it's tough.. but I'll love it when I'm done, and as it' was said, it's good practice with GS.. Luther...
