Promising start, I agree that the tatoo was a good idea!

thanks traitor, gonna go for a big finish too, and now for something completely different!

 

havent had much maloghurst time becuase a friend was teaching me something new hobbywise and i spent what little warhammer time i have on testing this

so a group of friends did a sort of workshop and tested building some silicone moulds and do some resin casting, was fun to try and hopefully ill be able to design more things thensculp/build and then cast them.

 

what you see above is the sonic weapon i made for my converted noice marines gonna make a full set of them with all the upgrades i need, also planning on myaking a mk II of model i use as a obliterator.

 

and the defiler upgrade kitt i made to change a defiler into a two legged humanoid one :) could even be used as a count as chaos knight.

 

but it needs to be gone over and a litte more details added like a ton of rivets.......

 

but im out of matrialmatm so it be back to maloghurst as soon as i have more hobby time.

 

looking forward to hear what you guys think and thoughts and ideas.

I have never tried getting into serious silicone moulding as I see it as too cumbersome and maybe even expensive in the short run, but if you have a group of friends with which to do it and the space needed you should totally go for it, being able to duplicate bigger or more detailed bits you've converted should be a lot of help for your conversions. Can't wait to see this defler upgrade kit ;)!

most of it is learning a new skill, and the main reason is to be able to produce my very iwn model from idea to actual playable mini, or make my own custom bitz! its awsome and then there is always other people asking if they can buy the things i made or where i bought them

heya eveyone, havent had much time to paint but slowly been working my way forward, but got a little stuck and im hoping for some help.

 

any of you good at the true metallic or non metallic metals?

i been testing true metallic on maloghurst to learn something new, but trying to paint the gold on the chaos star eye i come to a dead stop.

mainly i think its bexause i have more than one lightsourse one from each side and that might messed it up, so dont know how to fit in the highlights and the contrast.

 

here is a picture of the area

I use true metals all the time, but I only drybrush highlight. I would try to take a picture of the whole model, and we might be better able to judge the metallic highlights you are doing.

hehe was trying to avid taking a picture of the whole thing since its gonna be one of the finishing touches, was hoping to show it off once complted .

 

none would want to see it twice one with gold details done and one without , was being really sneaky about it too

Don't show it! Now it's better to see it finished! About the true metallic I think that it's fine, the only problem would be the blending which is maybe too harsh.

i tryed getting the blends better.

 

how is this then?

Much much better, though it now seems to be missing some silver highlights on the most shiny zones. Can't wait to see more!

i simplified the lighting a bit and added more silver to the highlights.

 

and he is getting very close to done, it might not be golden demon standard but for me im pretty happy with it.

 

as soon as he is done ill try and get some pictures up.

 

maybe even tomorrow if im lucky

                                                                                               FOR THE WARMASTER!

                                                                                                        GLORY TO THE XVI









Known as "the Twisted" for the complex workings of his mind, Maloghurst was Horus's chief adviser and public voice, and a shrewd manipulator. He was also a formidable warrior, and was a speculated contender for the First Captaincy (the post held by Ezekyle Abaddon) when Horus made him his equerry.

During the Battle of Sixty-Three-Nineteen, Maloghurst was dispatched to the surface to parley with the "Emperor of Mankind", the impostor leader of the planet, but his Stormbird was shot down and he was seriously wounded in the crash. He was recovered from the surface, and the remembrancer Euphrati Keeler's pict-records of the rescue spread through the 63rd Expedition, making Maloghurst into a war hero. His body was badly mangled by the events (thus truly making him "twisted"), but he remained willing - and quite able - to serve his Warmaster. He also boldly stated that he was aware of his nickname among the rest of the Legion and had no wish to abandon it: his mind was as deft as ever, and if his body was now twisted to fit it, then so be it.

Maloghurst is looking amazing, mate! A fantastic conversion, and a great paintjob to match! I am weirdly fond of the red sword scabbard and almost wish you had used a dash of that red somewhere else (a red Eye of Horus jewel or something similar).

 

But anyway, fanastic job! Well worth the wait!
