Let The Galaxy Burn! Balefire Legion: 40k again!

[thamier]

Only remembered this after Traitor mentioned the cow skull thing and I'm not sure if this'll help much but the old warhammer fantasy skeletons use to have a cow skull with separate horns among other things in the sprue. Alternate horn types for the Reaver helmets could make them stand out a bit more (although that might end up making them look comical). Really enjoying seeing where you take your Sons of Horus.

Speaking of those old "cow skulls" Soric mentioned, I think I have quite a few of them left, in case you're interested?

thanks guys but i have some of those in my bitzbox, they come with normal horns or ramshorns, gonna have a look at it :)

[thamier]

been sculpting a little during the night couldent sleep and baam suddenly its 6 in the morning so have a few hours before classes starts

 

once cured i think the sons of horus librarian is ready for assembly pretty happy with my sjoulderplate psy hood and the insta mould supprort worked pretty well for sculpting the loincloth but cant be sure until its cured

 

the fun is in the details

Wow, the details on the hood are amazing, I wonder how you're able to do that tiny cables... Really wainting to see this one finished and painted!

roll a little bit of green stuff into a thin string cut a bit and put onto model, i assembled him now and most of the details are covered by the backpack :)

[thamier]

update time, got my hands on a dark vengeance box, so a minor adjustment to the chest emblem and i think its a good 30k sons of horus libraian, oh and also finished the first libraian! :)

there you go, I hope you like them and let me know what you think about it:)

[Pearson73]

Great sculpting skills with the green stuff!

thanks my trick is good tools and spending extra long time on it :D

[Thousand Eyes]

Something to aspire to with your green stuff sculpting, well played.

[KrautScientist]

I feel rather vindicated, seeing that Librarian's staff, as it does indeed work 100% better without the skull :) It's a lovely model all around, although I cannot help wondering whether the staff arm would work better if it were straight instead of bent at the elbow, and facing away from the body a bit more...

[Augustus b'Raass]

Wow, that hood looks amazing! :d

 

Great job as well on the staff. I think you did the right thing following Kraut's suggestion. :tu:

[Col.hertford]

Fantastic job. Taking the skull of the staff takes it down a notch on the chaos meter. That hood is brilliant too! As are the details. Great progress on all fronts!

one can always get better, so I need to practice more.

that's why I ask what you guys think ;)

and as for staff pose, I like it planted gives the model weight, also if both arm and staff is pointing out it might look silly

thanks man, and think I should have the staff pointing out too?

thanks! I agree it is way better without the skull, and had alot of fun with the hood

[DaBoiKyknos]

Awesome sculpting as always!

Will you leave the librarians/ sorcerors like that or will you add details to make them look more chaotic?

 

Edit: Just read that those are 30k sons of Horus, maybe that answers my question... or not?

thanks alot glad you liked it and yes they are for 30k so they can be newbi chaotic not too much but just a bit ;)

[thamier]

need a litte info getting some droppods and my question is if i convert upp one droppod to a dreadclaw is it still a droppod ? i mean you get half of them rounded upp turn one is the dreadclaw allowed to be one of them?

[Quixus]

The Dreadclaw and even the Kharybdis count as a drop pod for the purpose of the Drop Pod Assault rule. So round up((#drop pods+#dreadclaws+#kharybdis)/2) come in on turn one.

[thamier]

thanks Quixus! thats awsome

[Doctor Perils]

Gods of the Warp, what witchery has given you these skills ?

 

Seriously good work on this last batch Thamier. That's the best psychic hood I've ever seen, bar none.

 

That insta-mould technique looks pretty interesting, do you know how you're gonna melt it out (without damaging the model) ?

thanks alot Lord Thörn, if you mean the instamould between the legs for sculpting the tabbard, that worked like a charm it turned out fine, since it was nonstick i could pull it free with my fingers, but otherwise i would just have needed warm water that wouldent have hurt the model only made it wet :)

[Eldrick Shadowblade]

the two librarians look awesome. Especially the fine details on the hood!

[Soldier of Dorn]

The newest Reaver looks absolutely wicked, man. Just... damn, those are some sexy legs he's got. Wow.

[The Traitor]

Great reaver, I recently have scratch-built some of my own, but this are much better. You are really good at posing, it actually looks as he is descending with his jump pack.
