Here he is at the moment, in all his blue-tac-y goodness (dont mind the stick-fas in the background though :P ): Lemartes WIP.1 Lemartes WIP.2 - he's supposed to replace my chappy (seen as the bleached bone dude front of my DeathCo. marines in my army pic) - I have never bought the figure when I first started (wh40k AND BA) but instead opted to buy a generic chappy (opponent's consent blah-blahs back then :) ) - having never bought the pewtery, I have no idea what other details he has on his right shoulderpad, as well as what his behind looks like (well, since the fig looks BS4WS4, then perhaps nothing fancy back there) - I'm aware I used Mk6 for the legs... my funeral :P - I realized the 'mullet' looked weird in the second pic (the head's also WIP) - things to do include (but not limited to): adding bones on chest skull/jp harness in the form of 'X' (re)creating his crozius arcanum, however BS4WS4 it looks... (re)creating his Ray-Ban deathmask dangling somewhere on his body (re)creating the details found on the orig fig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolven Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Wow fantastic looking army you have there. Can't see the close up detail but I love the "table presence" it gives. <= like that term? Pulled that one outta nowhere. Can't wait to see the rest of this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajan Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 looks really good... please please some close ups? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I Love the Lemartes! hes very very dynamic looking, and it's nice to see that old model inspired at least somone :P the rest of the army looks great, keep up the good work! but yeah I agree, closeups would be very nice :P -Blind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 hmm, the model is very dynamic in it's posing. but i'm not sure if a non-helmeted Lemartes is the way to go. I am anxious to see more updates though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Dropout Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ayt, thanks guys ;) Hmmm... closeups... of what? :P Almost all of my figs listed are WIPs (apart from the two VetSgt, all the DC I'll ever need, and the rest of the squads :P ) ^Helmeted or non-helmeted... somehow his spikey helmet doesnt appeal to me... maybe in a few days time :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 A very nice dynamic pose. But, is it possible to get close ups of your other chaplain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Dropout Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 ^as requested: Chaplain Thematt (v2) (got lazy to finish his JP and CA staff jejejejeje) (shameless plugs: Chaplain Thematt (v1) and a DC marine; 5th Squad VetSgt (with 1st squad VetSgt in background)) Back to Lemartes: - man, didnt wake up when my alarm went off this afternoon, so I gotta work with 5-hour old putty (but still workable ;) ) - had to stop because 1) the putty is well into setting and doesnt stick as much as I wanted to and 2) I keep pushing onto the skull on the fig's left greave that I had to rework it 3x ^_^ - I decided to have him helmeted (but not the same as the orig), going over the (only 2?) art available for Lemartes, I'm going with the art in our previous codex (last page)... and FTLOG please no spikey things, no Ray-Ban shades, no guitar wires :lol: ... - onto the pics: "blanked" a helmet (left some eye lens for guide), skulls on the greaves and bones on his JP harness View1 View2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baal Dropout Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Just a quickie: my version of Lemartes' helmet: Lemartes helmet v0.1 - based on the art from the (supplemental/old) codex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolven Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Dude SICK helmet. Edit: I might change the eyes from raised, to sunken. Will make it look more menacing. Just smooth down those bumps so they lie flat in the socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ephrael Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Looks really good so far. Is that Fimo you are sculpting with? I like the subtle Stikfa in the background. Those ninjas are everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Dropout Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 @LoneWolven: Thanks, and yah, was procrastinating about the eye lenses, good thing teh putty hasnt set yet :P @ac4155: from my WIP pics in post #8, then topped off with putty works, leaving parts of the lens as guide (plus a picture of a skull and the reference art :P ) @Grumps: Thanks also, but nope, not green stuff, wish I could get my hands on some, great to work with but always out of stock here (or maybe I'm always short on cash whenever there's stock) :( @mikhail: Nope, no Fimo either, just your regular 2-part epo putty (I just desat the pic so everything looked your regular GW codex gray plastic) Quicky small update: blue-tack'd the head to the body when the puttyworx amply set, and was dissapointed: too "wide" for my liking, so I had to remove the "earmuff" skulls, thinned it up to less than half the thickness and slapped them back on; now it looks much better... but still felt wide because of the absence of that thingamajig that runs at the top of the helm back-down to it's rear...

LoneWolven Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Perhaps do a ridge of studs or something along the top to take the place of the vent on normal marine helmets. Might balance it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Dropout Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 One and a half months with NO updates, waaay to go Dropout :nuke: Anyways, got my camera now and here's how my (WIP) big papa lunatic looks like: WIP Shot - as posted, had to ditch the previous helmet design coz' of the reasons stated and instead made the current one... - had to ditch the base seen in the first few updates of Lemartes as it'll be hard to balance the figure in an actual game... - somebody over at GW has to make a better and manlier crozius for him - crozius-holding arm isn't permanently put on yet to be on the safe side of handling things - WIP jumppack, base as well as highlights again, tune in next month for an update... just kidding... well, maybe half meant... oh well... when I get over the bridge :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Dropout Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well, finally got the will to FINISH something :D Here he is, my Big Papa Lunatic... Chaplain Lemartes http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics13/img48935afdccaf3.jpg Nothing special: plastic SM parts mixed and matched, putty-work and taking more time than usual sitting on the Ceramic Throne :( ... - helm is "carved" with putty work; took a normal SM helmet, carved off most of the face to make it "blank" (left the area where the"eyes" are as guide) and the rest is putty - his BS4WS4 crozius: the topmost part is from the BA (?) banner top (from command squad box), "wings" cut to length, also using the skull; smaller skulls from sgt banner pole (tac squad command sprue)... Now off to the next month... I mean, miniatures... Attack Bike MM sidecars x3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikemike Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Looking good! The free-hand on the chaplain's shoulder pad is well done! I believe you are a chaplain lover, am I right? (I love chaplain too :o ) Anyway, good work! Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baal Dropout Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Here's a belated thanks to all ^_^ Short update: basecoated the attack bike parts with black, had to pause 'coz water's starting to form in my airbrush hose (had to research how to effectively reduce the condensation short of routing hoses to/from compressor and my air regulator :/ ) Cheers!

Baal Dropout Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Let's beat a dead horse back to the living! :lol: (yay, 3 months since I last posted something here -_- ) ------------------------------ Anyways, did I say I was doing my Attack Bikes? well here they are: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/matt_atknsn/WH40k%20BA%204th/BA4thCoAttackBike1stSqdr.jpg bikes painted by a friend, the rest are done by me (sidecar, driver, passenger, sidecar heavy weapon) sidecar are attached via pegs/screws under the bike still has to paint multi-melta have to put some stowage or whatnot on the fender with the hole ------------------------------ So what have I been doing during my free time for the past months? Some tactical marines: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/matt_atknsn/WH40k%20BA%204th/IMG_1718.jpg To save me some headaches, I decided that my tactical marines follow something like: VetSgt (any pose, side loincloth red BA icon over black, full monty battlegear) demisquad leader (any pose, side loincloth black BA icon over red, full battlegear) kneeling marine (full battlegear) running pose (full battlegear) "doing something else" pose (full battlegear) assault weapon marine (regular pose) regular posed marine (full battlegear, campaign/army badge) snap-fit marine (BfM or AoBR) regular posed marine (no battlegear, secondary casualty choice) heavy weapon proxy (regular pose, no squad markings/kneepad, no battlegear, primary casualty choice) 2 barehead 1 has/carries an auspex 1 with Corvus helm ------------------------------ First three Veteran Assault Marines (inspired back when teaser pics of the Vanguard marines first came out) weapon loadout (L-R): power fist, flamer/meltagun, power weapon (current WIP: puttywork) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/matt_atknsn/WH40k%20BA%204th/VAS0_WIP0.jpg ------------------------------ And since it's 5th ed. (and I'm broke), I decided to do a Corbs conversion: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/matt_atknsn/WH40k%20BA%204th/Corbulo_WIP0.jpg needs blood drop at chest (puttywork) needs ornamentation at greaves (probably just puttywork the winged blood drop and paint the pattern) the head will be repainted to traditional scheme (blond caucasian) needs his personal badge at right shoulderpad (puttywork) the Grail will be stowed in a pouch of sort (strapped to the left side), the "straw" thingy is only to hold the sprue while I work on its contour, not as a drinking apparatus :P the Exanguinator still needs the part that wraps around the arm (puttywork) blood drop on his chainsword (puttywork) change apothecarion icon on backpack with something appropriate for the cult (puttywork) needs a holstered bolt pistol somewhere (not the small bit, like the holstered bolter on the new attack bike sprue) ------------------------------ Hmmm... guess that's all I have to post for this time, dont know when'll next time be though :P (now off to bed *yawn* :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
