He's trying to kill something the spell I assume so it'd be a little more powerful than your average nightlight... then again, I'm also assuming he's holding the charms pretty close to his face...

hairyyahoo · 08-20-2007

ides; hmmm...thats a good point...i'll have a think about it and let you know.

oh im with you, ive seen some great thousand sons and necrons made in that way, but real lighting is something that should be used as the theme of the army i think, rather than a 1 off piece on a character.

hairyyahoo · 08-20-2007

cool, i was looking for something like that, but could i bloody find it?

Ides · 08-20-2007

Hmmm sarcasm I sense...

hairyyahoo · 08-23-2007

second marine is finished.

this is the sort of pose i have in mind for all the grey hunters, bolter in one hand an knife in the other.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 08-23-2007

nice stuff! cool pose too.

will you arm any of them with chainswords/bolters or will they all just have puny knives?

like the GS on the leg, especially the gubbinzy bits that i leave out due to laziness

though if its not dry try going over it with the sculpting tool again and lots of water the get it smoother

Ides · 08-23-2007

extending the arms too? now that's just evil...

hairyyahoo · 08-23-2007

d_c: nope they'll all have knives. being utter badases they won't need anything else

and i'm gonna go over it lightly with a file to smooth it out.

ides: its the only way i could fit the oversized shoulder pad on and still get the bolter into position properly.

Ides · 08-23-2007

it still evil. I must outdo this somehow...

what planning a realscale one?

please dont

thatll mean ill have to make an even bigger one...

its vicious cycle. lets just stop it here

Yahoo: just noticed the opening on the knife sheath - nice touch

hairyyahoo · 08-30-2007

ok hairy w.i.p fans, this is the big one; the first group shot of the fully modelled pack. i know the bases aren't all done but i'm too excited to finish them before i show them off

these will be the last pics before the undercoat so please scrutenise closely for any mistakes/improvements.

hairyyahoo · 08-30-2007

heres some close up shots of a few of the finer details you may have missed

this arm was cut into 4 seperate pieces before being pinned back together and gs'ed. first time i've tried this so let me know what you think. (ps i'm waiting for the gs to dry before taking a file to it to smooth it out a bit)

this is supposed to be a piece of wolf pelt wrapped around the guys arm but i'm not sure it looks right, more like a bundle of straw?!? might redo this.

Ides · 08-30-2007

can't really think of anything other than giving the GS a light sanding... a few more trophies/wolf tails hanging from shoulderpads for the sergeant maybe, but I'm unfamiliar with SW fluff...

Lord Commander Erus · 08-30-2007

*twitch* Damn you... Too cool...

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 08-30-2007

oooh. i missed the update. i am ashamed of myself...

my fave is marine 6 - great pose.

i like how the left shoudler pads have ridges where the right one are flush with the rim. very cool.

legs should be sanded a bit, but great job - now get 'em painted before you make any more. having a unit thats finished will give you the push to make the rest

Ides · 08-30-2007

pretty and practical.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 08-30-2007

some scale pics would be much appreceated actually yahoo. they dont look very truescaled all by their lonesomes, though im sure your scarred fingers would beg to differ

hairyyahoo · 08-30-2007

*sigh* some people are never satisfied. here you go...

i'm so excited about finally painting these guys still i can't sit still!

i even went out and got whole new paint brushes for the occasion. its been about 3-4 weeks since i last painted anything. gods i'm so stoked!!!

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 08-31-2007

cuz of the way you truescaled them, theyre very proportioned and just look like normal marines on their own, so now theyre next to a normal marine, its great cuz you see how big they realy are!

cool stuff, and im liking the base

is it gonna be urban/snow? if it is, may i suggest making the rubble very dark, so it contrasts with the wolves armour

hairyyahoo · 08-31-2007

yeah urban/snow for the base. i'll do the rubble black with a light drybrush of codex/fortress grey so its nice and contrasty with the snow.

what do y'all think about the furry bracer thing on the last detail shot? personally i think it could be better, so i might just rip it off and start again.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 08-31-2007

i think its cool - the fur, with a thin band of leather in the middle.

hairyyahoo · 08-31-2007

really? i might paint it up and see how it looks. i can always rip it off later and try again.

Lord Commander Erus · 08-31-2007

+rep... all I can say is wow.. Just wow.
