Howling at the Moon - Page 30 - 40K Terra

hairyyahoo · 04-18-2008

there are ideas that erus has inspired for the rune that i'm still trying to figure out how to manage, but if i can pull it off it should be pretty damn sweet!

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

bumpcity!

right then chaps, been busy this morning. i wired up the psychic hood, set light to the rune stone in the hand and runed up the right shoulder pad (remembering to take pics of the process for a tute

)

here's the results of my mornings work...

all that's left to do on this guy is the weapon which just needs the attention of a razor saw which i don't have and the cloak, which i've decided not to do strand-by-strand as was the plan. couple more days should see him el finito

Lord Commander Erus · 04-20-2008

Hairy, if I can send it I have a spare saw handle and some lovely blades. Would you like it?

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

nice of you to offer dude but the last time i sent something metal through the hands of the usps the package got ripped open and the item lost, so i wouldn't like to take the chance. apparently certain modelling items have possible terrorist applications

i'll just borrow my local GW's saw for 5 minutes.

Mart007 · 04-20-2008

I'm repping it! I dont care it's not finished!! This is so good it's rivaling the unmentionable!!

lol wow

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

thanks mart. whaddya think on the cabling for the hood? it was a bit akward getting the left side covered up because of the tilt of the head.

Mart007 · 04-20-2008

It looks really intricate, and hard to do as most of your things do Hairy! the model is looking awesome, if i saw an issue I would say, I cant, I tried, it looks so tidy, balance and pose ard spot on, i love that flame thingy, the beard almost turns me on! And the hood WOW

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

crapcrapediecrapcrapcrap!!!! while i was adding the furry cloak it dropped him, breaking off the runefire piece in the process and loosing the bit to the horrors of the underdesk! hope like hell there's a spare in my bits box

i' damn well pinning the next one on!!!!

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

glad you like it darighaaz_king, it's the most complex conversion i've ever attempted and i'm well chuffed with it so far

yes it's bigger than normal, all my marines are. i practice a method of truescaling that was shown to me by someone who's probably forgotton more about modelling than i'll ever know

typical that he ups and leaves just when i need his input the most!

the bit i lost was the flames that were on top of the runestone so at least i won't have to do the whole hand again. the flame itself was a tassley bit that was attached to a scout bolter. i found it randomly in the mess that populated my desk and i don't think i have another. i guess i'll have to brave the darkness under the desk and try to retrieve it

if i'm not back inside a week send out well armed search parties

Yeah, that item would have come in real handy last night. Now I gotta try to rework a bunch of GS grrrr. Oh, I have to say Hairy, that might be the best looking mini of yours I've seen. Very, very nice!

WAAAAIIIT!!!!

before you lose yourself in teh darkness, could I 'borrow' your mojo again? I seemed to have misplaced mine

The psychic hood looks WAY better now, and im loving that GSed shoulder pad. cant wait to see this guy completed!

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

yeah, mojo's all yours for a bit. i gotta hit the books big time anyhu

munkey joe paints · 04-20-2008

NIce work on the hood guy!!! very nice!!

But why is he holding a onion like that??? LMAO Well if you cant find it NP IMHO as it looked good but.....Meh. I think if you did a little GS mojo magik on it with a swirly whippy flame it would be better!

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

onion? ONION?!? whyiordda!!!

lol. well the mojo's on loan to ID for a bit so i guess i'll have to search for the bit under the desk. i'll tie a rope to my leg so i should be fine

*braces for the hammer!!

Well I had a second look at it and I think the main deal to me is its wide and thin. like an auspex. if you could bulk the flame out some with GS it would look better to me BUT it might detract from the actual stone....unless you paited the stone real bright to bring it back out.

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

hmmm... i see what you're saying. having looked again myself it does kinda look oniony

or at best it looks exactly like what it is...a bunch of hair growing out of a stone! lmao! guess i'll just have to do it the hard way then.

Mart007 · 04-20-2008

to be fair, it doesent help the fact its not painted as with regards the onion, I 'm sure with a paint job on it the onion would be thing in the past!

Why is it, if you drop somet, its always your favourite minis, everytime!!

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

or else it's avery small, easily lost component you're just about to glue into place and that always seems to be the exact colour of the floor

Mart007 · 04-20-2008

yeah, and you watch it fall, and it always takes a secondry bounce that you miss, argh, and lands about 2 foot away under a box!

Darighaaz_king · 04-20-2008

i know what it's like to loose modelling parts beneath a desk. its like a bag of holding down there. good luck finding it

thanks

hairyyahoo · 04-20-2008

lmao. i dropped one the other day with super glue on it and found it an hour later stuck to the side of my foot
