Brother Aiwass Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Litanies of Hate http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/4777/tyraelfront.jpg Tyrael, Captain of the third Company C haos lay daggers before us Passion speaks in grue vehement stabs Trance my eyes, fix my focus to pain The rage grows until the enemy is slain Slightless storm Knee-deep in hate I seeth My purpose here has woken to breath Total war on the brethren of Men Millions regardless Dying by our hands A Black Rage Of Fire Brief in its vicious eloquence Removing the dross The Imperium will arise from the ashes of your loss Then and only then Will the pleasure of Death be our And the sinews of life itself will be tied In the very veins of our blood And their tears taste like wine... We will rule as a kings And the Emperor will sit as our guiding Light In the glory of Terra our crowns are studded With the jewels of the Golden Throne -Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost. Tyrael, Captain of the Third Company Tyrael Machiavi was the First Sargeant of the First Squad of the Third Company of the Chapter. He was promoted because of the death of his predecessor, the Captain Erasmus Tycho, Heroe of the Chapter, pride of Sanguinius. This model has been inspired by the wonderful conversion of noodlenerd that you can see here. As you can see, my model is not anywhere near as good as the original, but I'm very satisfied and I no needed green stuff! I would like to restore a sense of the old Star Crusade, and I have thought about painting his power armor in white. Since I'm not exactly a great painter, the result can be catastrophic. Pray to the Emperor! W e kill without scruple or silent regret In haunts of the sinister aspect For we are the pain that comes from your death Rain of blood falling from the skies The incessant pall of death surrounds we But this is not the part of us that wishes to breed There will be no dread thereafter The mysteries are reveal unto thee We stir the hearts of the wisest By the fools we will always be feared Our Kingdom feeds off their slaughter... A crescendo of passion bleeding... On the pale reflection of dawn Devour The Sun -Reclusiarch Asmodai S words in hand at the bloody fields of history, we rend our blades through dogma and humility. Carve the future according to our will set worlds ablaze with our seething fire. Let you all acknowledge that we are here as masters to rule this failing humanity. Our beings formed in rage and defiance with strength to trample the weak and the foolish. And so we march with burning brands, Temples of flame on our path to glory! -Tyrael, Captain of the Third Company http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/6576/lemartes.jpg Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost A n Archangel in blood Bediademed, souled With a murder of ravens The Astartes brethren Abandoned to thirst To the blood, dark and past Gravid with madness Like a feculent dirge That obsesses the heart We are covened by rage We tore a battle banner from His hide Splashed in red goetia Hues of Hell and deicide So came the night Its obsidian light Then we smite the Chaos For our true nature is win To strip tender flesh from these swine Like the lick of carnivorous winds The breath of the storm that begins The world unfurled at last Now the wolves of time who stalk Mankind Shall be as one in grim repast Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost This model was the first that I've assembled. Fit the skull -of a model of WHFB - in the neck of a Space Marine gave me real headaches! Initially it would be a Reclusiarch, but... I tried a Jump Pack and I liked it. But... My eyes turns to the wings of the Sanguinary Guard sprue... You can see the outcome, a true Angel of Death! The Crozius is from one Sanguinary Guard's axe, and the Halo from the Iron Halo of the Assault on Black Reach Captain. A crown upon a dead man Daylights crucified in sleep And lives that hide in scriptured lies To the memories of a scream If all must we damn for this moment Then it shall be so For our souls have crossed oceans of time To clasp one another more tightly Than Death could alone... As cyclone beats reign to make crawl The talons of blood raise a gore call To the lick of carnivorous winds Beneath the howling stars -Chaplain Invictor http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/5694/companychampion.jpg Tammuz, the Company Champion W e will give to drink without cost, From the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this... And we will be his sons... and he will be our Emperor." When contrary winds blow across the sands Their murmurs can be easily swayed But when storms quicken one cannot placate The howling of their murderous rages Winged seraphim hold hate's trembling hand Beside our waiting graves As war roars about out precious land Seeking cause to subjugate Tonight in flames Tonight the xenos will fear our names Tonight in flames Stay our strong heart Our deaths will be the start Of glory and war Tonight in flames There is no fanaticism as virile as faith To the blind his words are clear "Suffer not the heretic! Suffer not the heretic! The Emperor bless you" Tammuz, Company Champion I told you! My skills as a painter are very poor. This is the first mini I've painted from the new BA models. Is not finished yet and looks pretty much better in the real life! But I must tweak him very much. Anyway, I managed a wing as a shield mainly because I have no shields, but I think that looks good. The torso and the sword are from AoBR Captain -The remains, are going to be the Initiate of the honor Guard. I hope you like it! Winged seraphim hold hate's trembling hand Beside our waiting graves We will revenge, do or damned Sanguinius did the same The Xenos sword must fall Tonight in flames Tonight the world will fear our names Tonight in flames Stay our strong heart Our deaths will be the start Of glory and war Tonight in flames -Reclusiarch Asmodai, Armaggedon Sermons General Warning! This is a slow project log and my painting skills are not enough, but I have fun with this and I will do. Reckon advised. Cheers! :wacko: -Maximvs, aka Aiwass.

igotsmeakabob!! Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'd like a shot of the wing-shield from the other side.. but I really like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vostok3 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yeah, the wing-as-a-shield idea is pretty nifty, as is the glaive-as-a-crozius. That's some out-side-the-box thinking. You've earned some gratuitous hyphens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telliphas Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 That Chaplain crozius is brilliant, I recently got the Sanguinary Guard box purely for its bits and I've been umming and ahhhing about what I could do from it. Seeing these guys has given me so many ideas for my chaps. Would you mind if I steal the winged shield idea for my Thunder Hammer Terminators?

Candleshoes Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Really like the work done so far. One thing you might want to hear - the new codex says on pg 17 that Machiavi's first name is Galan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Two thumbs way up for the wing-shield! I will also be stealing it. Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, I'll have you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing you might want to hear - the new codex says on pg 17 that Machiavi's first name is Galan. Thanks for the compliments :P I know about his name, but in spanish (my native language) Galan means beau or squire, something that I don't want. Really. Like Castigon, what means # scourger in a derogatory way. I'm most for the daemonic/angelic/latin names, that the renaissance ones, so I've taken the license of change that. Two thumbs way up for the wing-shield! I will also be stealing it. Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, I'll have you know. Thanks! :mellow: For those who "steal" the winged shield I would like to see some of your results! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodlenerd Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Oh my, great minds must be thinking alike, because I am doing a model with the wing as a shield right now! :mellow: I like your creativity, especially the crozius idea. much potential :P Also, I'm flattered that I could inspire with my Tycho (big thanks for giving me creds, hehe) :P As for the painting, I think you need to take more time on the captain model to do it more justice, because I really like how you converted him. Alternatively, you could invest in the army painter dip. Link to armypainter website. Makes the painting go quick, and you get pretty good results. I use it for my troops (I HATE painting rank and file troops), and as long as you apply a matte varnish in the end, I'm really happy with it. I'm looking forward to see how this force turns out. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telliphas Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 For those who "steal" the winged shield I would like to see some of your results! When I get home from work this evening I'll be putting together a test Thunder Hammer Terminator, I did a dry fit test with the one wing last night it looked a tad small. Two wings is the way to go me thinks. I'll post up some pictures when he is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recipe is very simple and effective. You can found it in http://www.exlibrismortis.org/ a great, great site about the Blood Angels. One example here: http://www.exlibrismortis.org/TacSquadOneTrooper2.jpg And here the direct link to the tutorial: Click!

Hope to see your work soon :) And a little update: http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2134/initiate.jpg This is the very WIP stage of Numitor, the initiate of the Honor Guard. http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/7370/deathcompany.jpg And the rude boys of the Death Co.

noodlenerd Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Numitor looks extremely promising. Very good use of the AoBR captain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oloff Hammeraxe Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Keep up the good work! I'm digging all your tweaks/conversions/kitbashing you're busting out for this project. I particularly like the Crozius and the Winged Shield. Those ideas used on a unit of TH/SS Termies would potentially look amazing. Looking forward to future updates!

Telliphas Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Here is the first of 5 Thunder Hammer Terminators. Hope you don't mind me tagging this one in your thread? #1 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/daaveed/Thunderhammer3.jpg #2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/daaveed/Thunderhammer2.jpg #3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/daaveed/Thunderhammer1.jpg I've magnetised the shield arm to allow for movement, and easy access to paint. The dual wings are a lot bigger than I thought they would be and cover up quite a lot of the model. I'll be adding something to cover the flat area on the front of the wings some time this week, not 100% sure what though to be honest. Hope you like them.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Double-wing storm shield looks hardcore. Covers enough of the model that it actually looks like it could protect the user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperialis_Dominatus Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Shield idea is awesome. Especially cool on that Terminator. Would advise shaving down the center and putting some sort of icon in place to cover the job- as now it looks... well... like two wings stuck together. Maybe GS a big blood drop?

Brother Aiwass Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Update! Not the big one, btw. I really HATE paint faces :pinch: http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/8595/buddies.jpg A new DC guy with his old friend. The red boy is one of the first marines that I have, blessed Space Crusade!! Preparing one of the SC commanders to Blood-Angel-ify ;) The rest of the DC members are primed, also Lemartes and Tyrael. And shamely... http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/9290/numitor.jpg The ugly Numitor :( I get the feeling that every time I paint worse. A part from this, I have no grails, so I managed to make one for Numitor, here is a better view. http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/3139/numitorside.jpg And a bloody close-up. http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/459/grailcloseup.jpg I'm take it easy now, specially with the Captain and Lemartes. Going to paint some black armoured dudes. Telliphas, your shield looks pretty good!, If you can get a bretonian shield to put in the middle of the wings that would be great! Thank you all for those inspiring comments! Now, in the artistic side, I'm trying to make another member of the Honor Guard, the Standard Bearer. Sadly, a part from the Sanguinary Guard banner (that I don't like it) the only banner that I have is a metal one from the WHFB 3ed. Of the undead army specifically. I think that is easy to swap the dead's head in the top of the banner, but there are more things to cut! We'll see, we'll see :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekyr Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I think the problem with your painting is just that the paint it too thick. From what I see on the Numitor model, the strokes are in the right spot. and the layering is where you need it to be. With the paint so thick it just looks chunky and doesn't blend well. Try adding more water to highlighted areas. the base coat should be thicker than the highlighted coats. the final coat to an area should be slightly thinner than milk. Some say just slightly thicker than water. It takes time and experimenting to get it right. Your local GW should be able to help you out with it if they have staff on hand. Don't be afraid to use multiple layers of the same color to get the consistancy right. When I do reds ( reds, whites, and yellows are the hardest to do btw), I have 7 layers of paint. 2 of which are 2 layers of blood red just to get the consistency right. Where are you guys getting the skulls from? The Tomb kings skulls just don't seem right to me. Too skinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarnak Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I don't know about thickness but I usually just put on a coat of desired flesh colour (I think I use elf flesh atm), and give it a splash of Devlan Mud. Atleast looks TT-decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaleOpener Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 A fine start, to be sure. I liked how you created pieces from converted pieces. As far as I'm concerned, you get far better results from the plastic kits than the metal models GW makes...Though Forge World ain't too bad, but are pretty pricy. Love the battleshield idea, and the twin wing storm shield posted by another person. I'll make sure to check back to see what's happening... Nice lacey curtains, btw ;) :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
