Flint13 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Guys, girls... job's all done. Well, 'cept for the base http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/540/xEbltB.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/538/Ka2OjG.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/673/GhgvAU.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/537/tZxstf.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/912/SR5GNI.jpg and a dramatically lit one!http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/901/17H4VU.jpg Replies! @ Augustus - Thanks! I like the darker wings too. Seems more gloomy. I was actually looking at a Catalan reaver helm last night. Might be something there. @ Atia - I dunno, skulls are so over done How's his sword and gunglaive look now? @ Wicced - Haha, I noticed that. Cyrene was pretty slight, I imagine she didn't make too much of a dent in a Custodes blade @ Hydra - Thanks! Still sorting through helms yet. @ KBA - Thanks! I'm pretty sure Argel Tal is my favorite HH character too. Between First Heretic and Betrayer, he is just such a damn good tragic anti-hero. Hope I did him justice. @ Forte - Appreciate it! How's the rest of him look? @ Lokkorex - Throw enough things at a wall and eventually one will stick, haha. @ Helter - Sweet. We should make a fan club. @ Lokkorex x2 - Thanks! I spent probably as much time on the wings as I did the entire rest of the model. @ Kurama - You get points for making me giggle. @ Dos - Indeed I shall! Glad to hear there's a visible improvement. @ Kreig - Fair enough! Heh, to be fair, they are purple-black, which I'm told is like green's arch nemesis. @ Conn - Oh that isn't a bad idea! I think I've got a couple extra Thallax heads laying around I could play with. @ Dark Bjoern - Glad to hear you like the Haunter. It's been awhile since I've painted something that big. How do his weapons look now a little more dolled up? @ Midnight - Hah, that's pretty big praise coming from you @ Black_out - Then go make one! He was a silly easy conversion.

Kol Saresk Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 @ Kol - The Black Templar are totally known for slaughtering whole worlds. As long as they are xenos, heretics or witchlings. Or associated with any of the above. For contextual reference, my company's strike cruiser is named the "Vindictive Genocide" so like I said, they don't do it on whims. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 All looking good there Flint. Need to push yourself to do that one extra highlight on things now I think as your speed is great. Just one more to add a little more contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Morning all! So for those that remember farther back than three pages or so (gosh knows I certainly don't) I tried my hand at painting one of the Mournival back in the Luna Wolf days. I was moderately amused with my take on Little Horus. So for the actual XVI Legion March event, I decided to give my favorite of the Mournival a go. He's still pretty WiP-y, so feel very free to yell helpful things at him ^_^ http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/538/HTSeB1.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/537/uK0SZi.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/661/jGbVct.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/910/DGMZ2a.jpg Replies! @ Kol - Indeed not! Takes a long ass time to bring together everything for a Crusade. You don't want to just go declaring them all willy nilly. @ Forte - Can and will do!

Flint13 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Oh, my bad. Just to clarify... This is my L'il Horus. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/600x450q90/631/zQGBYO.jpg I was going to try and save him to paint for this March of Legions. That lasted all of about 30 seconds. So this time around, I thought I'd try my favorite of the Mournival, Tarik Torgaddon (pictured dashingly above in WiP format ^_^ ) Replies! @ Dark Bjoern - Thanks! Glad to hear it. @ Fire Golem - Just Lil Horus and Tarik so far. They seemed so much more characterful than the crowd favorites ^_^ @ Recon - his arms are. I thought it would be fitting. His legs are a vanguard vet's and his torso & shoulder pads are from the tact marine box. I was aiming to imitate the pose of FW Loken, so I'm glad to hear it worked! @ Augustus - Let's see, there's Horus Aximand, Tarik Torgaddon, Garvi Loken and Zeke Abbadon. I wanted models of Tarik and Aximand since the other half of the Mournival are so popular. I'm all about the popularity under dogs ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Nice Little Horus! What's teh fourth guy's name again? And will you do him? There's Loken, Horus Aximund, Torgaddon and Abaddon. After Istvaan III Loken and Torgadden are replaced with Kibre from the Justaerin and Grael Noctua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Tarik always was my favorite next to loken....ever think of doing Saul Tarvitz...would be cool to see the leaders of the resistance Of the virus bombing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Great work on Argel, his Custodes-spear is awesome :P Torgaddon is also great so far, not sure on the shoulders though (maybe Mk II or III could work better with his helmet?) either way, can't wait to see him finished =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsovitt Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Torgaddon is looking good the only slight criticism at this point is I think he's about a head too tall... Joking aside, I find your work inspirational and I'm almost tempted to try and build a Luna Wolf or two for this months March of the Legions...

Flint13 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Afternoon folks. Need a community opinion here. It's a pretty small part of Tarik, but a couple comments got me thinking. His original shoulder pads were made from MK7 pieces heisted from the tactical marine box set (as most of his parts are ^_^ ). I think I want to keep his left pad, since A.) it took forever to build from scratch and B.) Tarik's buddy Loken popularized the legion badge switch to the right shoulder with a riveted left pad to deflect small arms fire. (But hey, I could be persuaded otherwise) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/661/Ca5HYL.jpg But his right pad is still up in the air. **Which one looks best?** A.) Relic Armor http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/537/6DxhdM.jpg B.) Standard MKII http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/912/Ix75SE.jpg C.) Layered Championhttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/911/i4yTAo.jpg Replies! @ Fire Golem - Ah, I like Kibre and Noctua. Vengeful Spirit is prolly my favorite McNeil novel. @ Recon - That isn't a half bad idea. I was actually thinking of trying a few more Emperor's Children sometime soon. @ Atia - Thanks girl! Whatcha think of his ensemble options? @ Corsovitt - Hardy har har :P You should totally join the March event! You have an entire month, and its only one guy :D @ Kizzdougs - Thanks! I like how Argel Tal turned out quite a bit myself. Hope Tarik doesn't disappoint. @ Angrypantz - Dunno if it's always awesome, but I certainly appreciate it!

Slips Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I like the Relic Look more, personally. Layered Champion I prefer having on Both shoulders so it doesn't look lopsided (to me anyways). Mk II is ok but I don't feel like it suits a Captain. Also, the Higher rim makes it harder for side-swiping neck blows to connect and might actually deflect some bullets.

Teetengee Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Relic looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsovitt Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I think relic looks better but I think standard mark II possibly suits the fluff better as Slipstreams said the relic may deflect a decapitating blow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I kind of like plain mark II. The model looks great either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I actually like the layered champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 i would choose: A.) Relic Armor http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/537/6DxhdM.jpg after all, Tarik is on of the oldest members of the legion and the mournival (but not that old like poor qruze), he deserves a relic armor shoulder pad (but the other two are also great :P!)

Conn Eremon Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I actually like the layered champion. Pure aesthetics-wise, I'm with Kol. Relic is my least favorite. It just seems more ostentatious than I feel is appropriate for Tarik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'd say relic - after all, this is one of the most important guys in the entire Legion. Mk II just feels too plain for him to be honest, and I can't help but associate the layered pad with the 40k era. The relic pad gives him a lil' bit of ostentation whilst retaining the whole simple brutality vibe going on with the rest of his plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
