Th!rdeye Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 That is immense, brother. Fantastic job! He needs really scary glowing eyes... Is that front tabard custom sculpting? Same with the crozius arm shoulder pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I see. Is this your entry for the for the "This is what Chuck Norris would look like if he was leading your Crusade" contest? I thought entries weren't due until the end of September? Love him. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmapa Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I love that Chaplain, its incredibly cinematic and it has so much character, amazing job although I think his face is way too hidden, you can barely see it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krikey Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Is that front tabard custom sculpting? Same with the crozius arm shoulder pad? The top (above the belt) of the tabard and the top of the peaked breastplate, as well as the crozius arm shoulder pad are both sculpted, yes. I used super-sculpt for them. I love that Chaplain, its incredibly cinematic and it has so much character, amazing job although I think his face is way too hidden, you can barely see it.. Yeah, it is pretty hidden, isn't it? I was wondering the same thing, but don't think I'll change it at this point. Or maybe I will. The skull actually has a nice jawline ... Not that you can see it. I'll have to consider. Edit: now that he's primed, I also find I hate the area where his halo joins to his head. Too protruding and too rough. I'm going to have to scrape it and try again. Bleah. And was that September, Honda? I thought maybe I entered too late again. He still needs painting, though. I don't think I'll win, either. Chuck Norris doesn't need a gun. Or a crozius. Or TDA. All he needs is jeans, boots, and a jean jacket ... with two built-in master-crafted power fists. ~K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Chaplain Ryld Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yep, I know what I'll be doing if I get my hands on a Space Hulk Libby. Excellent conversion Brother. And the Caestus really has me torn between getting one of those or a Spartan. You and Reinhard will be the death of my wallet!!! Well done mate.

Krikey Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Sorry it's been so long since an update. Here's another pic of the caestus I'm working on. I still need to do the lettering on the other side, touch up the lettering on this side, add some more highlights and shadows, and a good bit of weathering. ~K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krikey Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 you used stencils for those words right? I wish I had some that would work. No, I mark them in lightly with pencil and then paint them in. It's a bit of a pain. That side took me about 8 hours. ~K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 <lays sword down, and takes one knee, bows head> I am not worthy enough to even lurk on this thread, let alone comment on it, yet I was compelled to give praise.

Krikey Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks, guys. Sorry I'm so slow. My goal is to at least get the lettering done by the end of break. (Classes begin again on Monday.) ~K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHospitaller Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 You should very much consider working at Games Workshop. If you don't already that is!Very awesome work Krikey! Your standard of painting is really where I aspire to be. I love it all, and I might just pinch that text idea from you. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf33 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Brilliant work! I'm going to requisition your lettering idea for my crusade - if only I could requisition your talent, too :-) Are you printing out your text from a standard font before pencilling it onto the model, and if so, what font are you using? If you've just made up your own font, then I have no words to express my admiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krikey Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 @Golf33: I use Old English Text MT for the font, and I do a photoshop mockup before I start painting. I used to print out strips of text one after the other, and fiddle with them until they were the right size, but the image mockup does a better job for me (you can see an example on p.3 of this thread). Here are some pics of the completed text. I still haven't gotten around to weathering yet, but I'm working on it. Right now I'm painting a couple of templar crosses on the assault ramps on the business end of the caestus. It's a bit of a bother, really, because of the surface, but I think it'll turn out all right. Sorry for the image quality. I moved at the end of the year and destroyed my light box in the process. I've yet to make another. I'll post more pics as I continue, but it's slow going. ~K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
