Chronophague Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I didn't quite like the old sod, and wanted to better portray demonic speed, so I used raptor legs, and I painted him a sword which is sorta dark, but still has some color. I think he looks very imposing, and he's actually pretty big, sorta "true scale" sized. :) Comments welcome. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h289/kronork/Iron%20Warriors/IWbossfront.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h289/kronork/Iron%20Warriors/IWbossfront2.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h289/kronork/Iron%20Warriors/IWbossside.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h289/kronork/Iron%20Warriors/IWbossback.jpg Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKTROOPER Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 :) good try...his head looks a little off like he is looking the wrong way. Just my opinion...awesome job on the painting side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychosisPC Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Awesome look. Love the conversion, great paint as usual. Really like the hazard striped tubes across the chest, thats a nice accent to all of the metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher441 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Right, I cannot fault the painting at all, flawless. But I don't know what is going on with his left leg. It seems to be just hovering in mid air, giving him a sort of feminine touch. :wacko: I'll leave it there. Besides that, it's win win all around.

frydog Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Amazing conversion. Looks very light on his feet, you can practically see him skittering across the battlefield. Ugh, I don't know why that disturbs me so much. Nice work on the backpack, sword, tube, cape, face, and base, too. The sword on such a metallic model really pops. Beautiful. What bitz did you use for the backpack, or is that all greenstuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Iron Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Awsome Lord conversion, never thought I'd see the model holding a helmet and keeping both hands with wepons. The hazard lines are beautiful, I'm very envious of those. The face as well. So...... this mean your re-doing your demon prince too? *attempts not to drool on the keyboard* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 OOOOh very nice,love the raptor legs ! great idea for demonic speed the purple as they say makes it "POP" care to give a color breakdown on it ? is this the guy that should own the yellow gloves :wacko: cant fault this at all except for the background material,makes some of the model blend in and detail is blurred into all the grey,great stuff with the mini. mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Nice job on the yellow, the hazard stripes, the skintone and the metallics. Everything from the repositioning to the converted backpack screams unique. :D I'm not too fond of the purple as it looks a bit bland compared to the rest, what about giving it a few paint-on coats of gloss varnish? May I ask how you removed the flames on the raptor feet ?, it looks like a very clean job. A few years ago I was working on my Raptor Cult army and after doing 4 squads of 8, I was ready to bin all my raptors, it simply took ages to remove the flames and flash.. Oh and I think it would be nice if you would show us a shot of your entire army one day so we can see it in all it's glory. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Again nice stuff, really like how you done the flesh on his head. Care to tell us how you did this???? The raptor legs work very well & like the Imperial Fist head in his foot :D IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitor Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 That looks very good, I like the dark mood that he is, very "lay the smack down on puny servent of the false emperor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebooter Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I really like that... I'd suggest putting him on a 40mm base and beilding up the height of the base a bit to make him look more lordish. I really like that...

Grimdarkness Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Looks great i would have gone a different colour on his cloak though all that grey tends to blend into one grey mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 What bitz did you use for the backpack, or is that all greenstuff? I snipped the "exhaust thingies" or whatever they are called from a standard chaos backpack. I cut off the orblike things at the ends. I glued them onto the fur part of the cloak(having cut away a little fur at the destined places). Then I took some skulls with chains from the spiky vehicle sprue, and glued them on. After that I sculpted a little fur over the areas where the backpack parts connect with the cloak, and it was ready for paint. So...... this mean your re-doing your demon prince too?*attempts not to drool on the keyboard* No, even consider such a thing makes me shiver, the amount of time to make a new dp would take ages. And unlike my old liutenant, there's nothing wrong with my Demon Prince. At least in my opinion OOOOh very nice,love the raptor legs ! great idea for demonic speedthe purple as they say makes it "POP" care to give a color breakdown on it ? Black basecoat. Then I just painted lines adding liche purple to black, and then spacewolf grey to liche purple. Was really a pretty quick job, I think I'll go back to the sword and do one or two more highlights, make it look a bit more "magical"... :D May I ask how you removed the flames on the raptor feet ?, it looks like a very clean job.A few years ago I was working on my Raptor Cult army and after doing 4 squads of 8, I was ready to bin all my raptors, it simply took ages to remove the flames and flash.. Oh and I think it would be nice if you would show us a shot of your entire army one day so we can see it in all it's glory Well, if you look at the raptors, the champion has a very puny flame attached to his feet, unlike the other raptors. Tho, that didn't really affect my choise of legs, since I just wanted the one with the tabard. I haven't noticed any special flash on them ? Nothing you can't scrape away quick with your modelling knife(curved blade). And yes, there will be bloo.. I mean an army shot, there's still some stuff to do, then I need to start thinking of a nice background for the army and whatnot. :wacko: My puny background I use can probably fit 3 predators a breast, barely. Again nice stuff, really like how you done the flesh on his head. Care to tell us how you did this???? I've posted this flesh recipe a few times already. :) Commando khaki. liche purple+tank brown(vallejo)+chaosblack wash. Highlight liche purple(just the tiniest drop)+commando khaki, then add white for successive highlights. I did a VERY thin wash of black+DAgreen and black+liche purple too. I'd suggest putting him on a 40mm base and beilding up the height of the base a bit to make him look more lordish. He already towers above normal marines. Looks great i would have gone a different colour on his cloak though all that grey tends to blend into one grey mass. Well, I don't want the focus of the model to be on the cloak. ;) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Absolutely Gorgeous, Chrono. Amazing job all around. Your army is going to be SICK when its done.

Cpt_Tiberius Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I just have to say, I'm a huge fan of your IW army. every piece you produce is wonderfully painted. This is an awesome conversion and I'm thoroughly in awe. :) I am amazed by your metallics and was wondering if you could post your recipe/tutorial for it, or if you've already done that a link to the thread? Greatly Appreciated. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death given form Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 You've raised the bar again Chrono... I hate you... Ok, so I don't. That is a model worthy of lord status. He's HUGE!!!!
