thamier Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 ElDuderino is correct, it's one of the Plague Bearer heads, with a sculpted salade helmet. Out of curiosity, what are you planning? :) I was the one who said it was a Plague Bearer head :mellow: :) Where's the hat from for the skullhead? Looks great. dont know what kit its from, had the head in my bits box a human with cyberntetic eye , can take a picture if needed. also did some sculpting today, its the smallest chaos star i ever sculpted, actually its the smallest anything i’ve ever sculpted, took about 50minutes http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/AC6016E5-3857-4AA9-A6C5-B2EE1EBF7A5D.jpg The Traitor, Biohazard, Pearson73 and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thamier Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Wow, 50 minutes for that! And I thought I was patient... really looks great though. i had fun doing it, and im quite happy with the result, also might have to do another one. hope to have something to show soon. playing around with a friends vacuum/pressure rig for casting it’s very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thamier Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 so i meed more bits for the en reslut and a friend had a vacuum and pressure system i could borrow, so unable to resist trying that and learn some new casting skills i made a test mould http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/2A48F44D-64EF-4027-A5CB-FF2529A5B663.jpg so now i am pretty happy with the results, but also learned a bit about the mould how to make the placement and the sprue channels. i want a final mould to cast 10 complte bodys and a 2nd mould for weapons and accessories, atlest thats is the plan Dosjetka, Eldrick Shadowblade, The Traitor and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDuderino Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 That's amazing, you've made your own multipart kit. Can we get some close-ups of the results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thamier Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 They look epic! Crisp clean details on them and you got to learn something new too! thanks! it turned out pretty good, the first cast didnt fikk all the way ( the top left of the picture) but 2nd cast was better(learning) Those cultists look great. thanks hoping they be even better onve finished and painted. That's amazing, you've made your own multipart kit. Can we get some close-ups of the results? well only half and its not even near the end goal yet, im planning new and better moulds and have to finish sculpting and customization of all the bits needed. but im working on it, and i’ll post sone detailed pictures for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thamier Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 now if i am to get these cultists ready anytime soon i’ll need to get started on the trophy rack. now i been pondering changing my original design, the goal is always for the end result to look cool! but maybe it should be a different kind of cool then originally planned. here is what im thinking my original idea was to have a square pack on the back with some long spikes branching outwards and held together by a band curving between the spikes there 3-4 of them. now now i thinking maybe i should combine some practicality and tactics with the design. you might remeber thse guys http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/A2EA4613-E5E2-456E-956A-FAB546DC579A.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/AFD618D5-9F9D-4F03-A43E-4F0F1742DEEC.jpg these are what we could call mk 1 cultists back from 2015. when i finally gotten around to building them, but i wasn’t all happy with them, just not cool enough needed more chaos. so it evolved a bit since then. anyways...... tangent over what i was getting at was the trophy racks on the picture is pretty much how i imagined the champion has the kind i meant, but now im thinking if it was smaller it would make the models easier to store and with the new rules not make them so easy to get line of sight on, so i was thinking same idea 3-4 spikes with a curved connection but not as long, half lenght maybe a little under half, so it’s visible but dosent stick out over the head so very important what do you guys think? would it look better or not? am i nuts? is the original idea better? hopefully i get time to build tomorrow, would like to hear any feedback as soon as possible Marius Perdo, DuskRaider and Thousand Eyes 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Most impressive work, brother. It's nice to see so much care and attention put into Cultists... even if they are removed from the table by the handful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Perdo Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Yeah, long and thin is a storage and/or snapping or bending risk. Shorter is less risk. I mean looking cool is great and all, but snapped painted models don't look cool and are disheartening. I'd agree that there needs to be some balance towards practicality. As DuskRaider said we remove handfuls of them (which I have to do when I play), which to me means there is also the risk those trophy racks tangle up as well. Isn't there a chaos space marine bit that is like a quarter circle with 3 spikes coming out of it? Do you stylistically man something like that but short enough to almost be like a halo just above their head from behind (although it would need a plastic rod(s) as a mini-banner pole)? You've got me thinking now about adding some racks to some of my champions just so I know which one in the hordes of 40 man units to remember to remove last.

Agraorth Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Heads seem's an little bit big but it's still really cool :D ( Following your work since an long time, your BL is one of the most stunning i ever seen :) ) thamier 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look cool. Cool and safe from the horrors of transport :) I normally have a problem with DV weapons snaring, and the hood champions axe in particular. i balme my lack of sleep for not really understanding that sorry The heads are way to big. Everything else (including the design of the heads) is fantastic. hmm i thought i had them in scale i lined them up next to standard guardsman heads just to compare. what do you think? http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/3A84A53F-3464-4A2E-95BE-E997B584EB6C.jpg Marius Perdo and DuskRaider 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBoiKyknos Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 a bit out of the ordnary but i need some help identifying this head, what kit is it from? anyone? http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/7043D905-D974-4ADB-99C5-58C346752115.jpg This reminded me alot of this dude... https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/2056760205/Untitled_400x400.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDuderino Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I think it's just the fact that it's a good over a helmet that might make the heads come across as big. They look fine to me at least, didn't strike me as large earlier at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Those cultists/renegades are insane Thamier, the concept is soooo cool, and it's amazing that you've actually made a "kit" of them. Also I think that your actual length of spikes is spot on, unless you plan on adding trophies like skulls and such, in which case you might need to make them longer...

Great Chaos Guard! thanks for the compliment, very glad people like them. a bit out of the ordnary but i need some help identifying this head, what kit is it from? anyone?http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/7043D905-D974-4ADB-99C5-58C346752115.jpg This reminded me alot of this dude... https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/2056760205/Untitled_400x400.png i see the resemblance i might try making something like that I think it's just the fact that it's a good over a helmet that might make the heads come across as big. They look fine to me at least, didn't strike me as large earlier at least i think you are right, they are wearing the skull helmet then the hood ontop off that, and without the arms the heads seems bigger. Those cultists/renegades are insane Thamier, the concept is soooo cool, and it's amazing that you've actually made a "kit" of them. Also I think that your actual length of spikes is spot on, unless you plan on adding trophies like skulls and such, in which case you might need to make them longer... thanks traitor, i was worryed about the spikes, i dont think i add any skulls or other bits to the spikes anyways. i like the reactions of the “kit” the plan is to make a actual kit for myself with one or two moulds with enough bits to build a complete squad of 10 cultists/renegade guardsmen. I'd buy those cultist :O they are awesome i dont think that the base bits i used are unique enough for it the be legal for me to sell, the plan was to make them for myself, didn’t think any would want them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
