Midnightmare Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) No worries, and thanks for the positive comments guys :rolleyes: As promised an update of where I am at with Valek. Got quite a bit done over the weekend, but not the best photo's sorry as the camera was dying and I was rushing! Still a lot to do; ignore the skulls on his cloak for a start! He is getting there however:- http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh190/MidnightRunner81/DSC02245.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh190/MidnightRunner81/DSC02246.jpg Edited October 14, 2012 by Midnight Runner Marius Perdo, Inquisitor Eisenhorn and Thousand Eyes 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Oh wow. Valek is awesome. I love seeing folks use the original Flesh Eaters scheme and ignore the current fluff that they are disbanded(unless you are playing them pre disbandage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Can we get a back shot, bro? Kinda curious about the skull and cloak thing you got going on, even unfinished. Just to let you know, I'm a HUGE fan of your work, and I love that you kept to the original RT-era paint scheme (so many go for that black and red scheme someone made up). You've done such a beautiful job on these fellas, and you should be rightfully proud of this army. Edited October 14, 2012 by 1000heathens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the creator of the "modern" red-and-black colour scheme for the Flesh Eaters was Chaplain Desmodeus. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Valek is terrifying mate, great job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reckoning Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 In agreement about the need for a back shot. Rest of the model looks amazing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death given form Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 My jaw fell off. That's a beastly conversion. I mean... freakin' terrifying. In such an amazingly good way. Ohgad. That's... your tarnished gold is very nice, bro, I'm actually ashamed I haven't followed your thread more closely until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Glad you like him! I had hoped that Valek would personify the style I am going for with my FE and he seems to have aheived that. Basically rage+attitude+1 :devil: @ heathens & reckoning - no probs, I am just on my way to work now so I will get it done when I get back :) @ death given form the gold is actually really easy, so easy I may do a Sanguinary Guard army! I use mostly old line GW colours and it is basically Chainmail, with 4 coats of Sepia Wash, re-highlighted with Chainmail followed by a Leviathan Purple glaze. The green used around the rivets etc is the new Sotec Green! And thats it! It does need some more chipping to it but that will be the last thing I do. Thanks for all the amazing comments guys, I am stoked that he has went down so well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yosef Hausakluif Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Wow! Truly awesome and thematic, sick work, and by sick I mean really good. I love the vampire and zombie flesh eating feel to the characters in your army...someone has probably asked already, and I have not looked over the whole thread, BUT how do you do your skin tones? I would love to learn for my upcoming iron hands and black guard painting projects to get a really good looking pale and deathly skin tone like that! Whats the recipe?

Brother Excedis Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 This work is amazing and inspiring. You and heathens. The two of you keep me checking back and going on my painting. Just keep these guys coming. They are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG89 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 These look amazing. Lovely bold colour scheme coupled with some amazing conversions. Gotta say that your power and force weapons are easily some of the best I've seen. Lovely how they really look like thier arcing with power.

punkfish Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's been far too long since I last checked out your painting Midnight - Wow, this is such a lovely looking army, I'm loving the conversions and the paint scheme is brilliantly executed. Great great army - one of the best on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hey, thanks for the comments guys, apologies but I have not made any progress with Valek as I have got a neck injury from a car accident (got rear ended at speed :cuss ) Nothing major but it means I cannot paint :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkfish Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Mate, I'm sorry to hear about the whiplash - I hope it settles down soon. Slightly OT but acupuncture really helps. I've had it after a few bumps and it helped sort me out a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks Kobra, glad you approve B) . I am considering changing the weapons head to an axe for gaming reasons though, maybe. Mate, I'm sorry to hear about the whiplash - I hope it settles down soon. Slightly OT but acupuncture really helps. I've had it after a few bumps and it helped sort me out a lot quicker. Acupuncture sounds a bit Slaaneshi to me :lol: ! It will be alright soon enough, I'm 'ard me lol. Tbh I have gash on my head which is the most gutting as it is my daughter's Christening this Sunday - I will be looking good for the pictures ;) .....doh! @ Yosef Hausakluif the recipe and link for the skin tutorial is posted on the previous page :) Edited October 23, 2012 by Midnight Runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Gutted to hear about the crash buddy, hope you mend well. A mate of mine got an op on the nerves in his neck 4 days before his sones Christening so ended up with a ragged 8" scar on his neck for all the pics. lol. Lovely ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Valek is looking mighty beastly, and well made. All round BAMF! Sorry to hear about the whiplash incident. Might wanna try an Orthopedic doctor if it gets any worse. I might have to check my self in soon cause your lasted mini messed my neck up with the "holy :) double take" keep up the killer work MR.
