Quixus Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 The sword and arm ain't half bad either. You may consider filling and thus removing the =I= though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Maikel Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 The cutout in the sword for the furioso is shaped like an inquisitorial "=I=" symbol. Quixus is suggesting you fill it in and paint over it, so that your BA libby doesn't look like he stole a GK sword. I think it could go either way... it isn't immediately obvious, but once you're looking at it it is hard to miss. You could also just cut off the little nubs, leaving the rest of the cutout.

Quixus Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 The dreadnought above the one with the spear has an inquisitorial I on the blade (of the GK Dreadknight IIRC). I don't think a Blood Angels Dreadnought would carry such a weapon, unless there is a special reason for it. Is there? Â Drat, ninja'd by Brother Maikel.

Memento Of Prospero Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Super awesome, but my take on the I on the blade is go for a blood grove down it. It would fit with BA armies. Either way love the work, definitely got me inspired to sit down at the table again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 It took a few weeks, but I finally got my Sanguinor for my Vow. spent an evening cuting him up and reposing. Scultped a obsidian shard shard, which should look nice in a red/dark red wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I like the new sword however have you considered having it come to a point rather than be rounded off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 I was actually thinking of having it with a flat top. what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdruthless Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I think that the flat topped sword will help to draw attention to the fact that its a bit diiferent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsev Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 this is some really great stuff youve got here, how do you manage to get your gs so smooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 Green stuff has a long dry time. When I need to do large strips for scrollwork or ribbons I will first roughly shape the greenstuff, and let it dry for half an hour to an hour depending on how resilient I want it to be. I use my fingers to rub it down to stretch. as long as you stroke quickly and wet your fingers with water, they will not leave fingerprints fingerprints occure when the GS is too soft and pressure is applied directly. Â once I've rubbed it down to the appropirate length and width, I use an exacto knife to cut the ribbon sides until they are strait and even. because I've let it dry a bit, the GS will no warp as you cut off the excess. Â I hope this helps, let me know if you need more information. Always glad to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 I've been in the process of unpacking my gear, having moved a 6 hour drive away from montreal. Once I get setup I'll get back to work! I finished painting Corbulo - I'll post an update on him. I will keep working on my last assault on blackreach dreads.

Memento Of Prospero Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 Once I settle down from moving, I will post a tutorial on how to convert muktiple blackreach dreads to blood angels with 1 furioso kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 finally settled down, I unpacked my gear and got to work. I couldn't get the sword to look good so I decided to kill two birds with a rocket launcher. I decomposed and magnetized my Sanguinor body, and can not run him has either Dante, or Sanguinor. Here's the result : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calnus Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Really loving your work Wolf_Pack! Got a couple questions I hope you can answer though--What color are you using for your gold/bronze paint, and what bits did you use for your Frag Cannons?  And from working with the contemptor, what would you use/recommend to make a contemptor-sized Frag Cannon?

Memento Of Prospero Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Really loving your work Wolf_Pack! Got a couple questions I hope you can answer though--What color are you using for your gold/bronze paint, and what bits did you use for your Frag Cannons?  And from working with the contemptor, what would you use/recommend to make a contemptor-sized Frag Cannon?  For the brass, it's very simple. Balthasar Gold, Dev. mud wash (or Agrax earhshade) I tiny bit of bit of Sycorax bronze for detailed areas that require highlights to make them pop. You can also water down your Balthasar gold a tiny bit to get an uneven coat, which will make interesting patterns with the wash. then layer over it to even it out.  My frag cannons are made from the Rift cannon bottom part from the Dark Angels flyer kit. got some on Ebay for 3$  For the contemptor,I really like the palm mounted weapon. for the "heavy flamer" count as. I am going to order more contemptor arms next month, and I am toying with the idea of making a megaman style cannon with the Riftcannon bit at the end.  the other option I am contemplating is a shoulder mount or wrist mounted cannon.

Memento Of Prospero Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 time permitting, I will paint in him in a second vow, here is the finished body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 It looks like you magnetized the arms on this guy. Was it hard getting the magnets in the right place to hold the arm? I'm looking to pick up a Contemptor myself and want options when it comes to the arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
