Trysanna Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hey there B&C! A while ago, I posted up a test mini for a Carcharodon project I wanted to start. I debated going back to Ultramarines, or doing Crimson Fists. But when I got The Badab War for Yule, I decided that Carcharodons were the right Chapter. Well, I have finally gotten around to working on this army, and progress is coming along. I do have a few other projects on the go, but I want to have at least 1000 points of these guys done by the summer. Onto the first images! http://forgeofsouls.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/10/files/sites/10/2014/07/015.jpg I had a lot of fun building these guys, and I wanted to make sure each of them were unique. I already have another 10 legs lined up for another Tactical squad, and I have 2 Drop Pods ready to be built. I have a little more work on this squad, but not much. Something else I am working on right now is a gift for my girlfriend, an Art Scale Rainbow Warrior Captain. It's just a one off right now, but he may get a squad for fun sometime down the road. I wanted to go with a Nordic feel, like a Valkyrie, and I hope to get that across once he is finished. http://forgeofsouls.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/10/files/sites/10/2014/07/014.jpg Hopefully I can get more work done on these guys during the weekend, and get another squad built. I want to go more tribal with the next ones, and if anyone has any ideas on how I can get that across, I would love to hear it. Cheers.-Trysanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Samoan tribal tattoos would work the decal sheet from FW has some also. Would like to see the RW Capiain done since I'am working on some RWs myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Very nice work on the Carcharadons! But my real interest is the Rainbow Warriors Captain Such a cool mini and in keeping with the Bifrost "Rainbow bridge" theme. I must admit I don't know where the bits used for the helmet is from. It looks like a very good way of making the Chapter Symbol instead of having to paint it on! Samoan markings would look good as DSS7 has said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Those look huge. Not totally sold on the bare heads for Carcharodons but you'll make them look great either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trysanna Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just wanted to share a small update. I've been working on my Marines all weekend, and I almost have another Tactical squad as finished as the first. I've also decided that one Squad will be ranged support, and the other will act as a rampage squad, meant to get stuck in as fast as possible. I've also given the Rainbow Warrior some shoulder pads, so all I need now is a hand. Hopefully I can get some photos taken tomorrow, so I can show you what I've done and get some opinions. -Tarvik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trysanna Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Been a while since my last post, but I finally have some photos! First up is the Close Combat Tactical squad. I'm unsure how I want to transport them. I'm torn between a Drop Pod and Storm Raven. Any recommendations? http://tarvick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/002.jpg http://tarvick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/003.jpg http://tarvick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/000.jpg Next up is my support squad. I love the hell out of some of these guys, and I'm really proud of my poses. http://tarvick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/006.jpg http://tarvick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/005.jpg http://tarvick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/004.jpg I've also been working on an Assault Squad, and Jump Pack Chaplain to accompany them. Hopefully I can get a Contemptor to join these guys, and figure out the rest of my list. I hope you all enjoy my Marines. All that hard work is starting to come together. And don't worry Aquilanus, that Rainbow Warrior is coming along! -Tarvik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeaky Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Awesome :D I'm far to lazy to do art-scale/tru-scale marines and I'm glad you have chosen the best chapter ever .... almost ever ;) great work look forward to some paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trysanna Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Man I thought leg extensions were tiring, I applaud your ironclad will sir, keep up the good work. Many thanks! Each Marine takes a while, but I think it's worth the effort. Those are going to look seriously brutal in the Carcharodon colours. I hope so! The Rampager squad will be pretty messy, covered in a fair amount of blood. Awesome I'm far to lazy to do art-scale/tru-scale marines and I'm glad you have chosen the best chapter ever .... almost ever great work look forward to some paint As I've said they are a ton of work, and I can't blame anyone for not doing it. And someone better than the Space Sharks? Heresy! And don't worry Aquilanus, that Rainbow Warrior is coming along! -Tarvik Am I that single minded? (Don't answer that ) The progress on the Carcharodons looks very good, especially as you've added helmets and armour of various marks (Mark IV and VI FTW! ) *Cough* Mark V is easily one of my favorite for this project, and I wish I had more. I think another Forge World order is due... Very nice stuff Thank you for the kind words. Means a lot coming from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trysanna Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I return! Sorry for the radio silence. I've been working on my Sharks when time allows, but I've had to finish a few commissions, a charity project, and it has left me little hobby time of my own. But, I have finally finished the last of the work on said projects, and I can really try to focus on these guys. I'm going to attempt to make at least a small update a week, and really get these guys done. First up, I ordered this beastie a little while back. It look me a while to get him together, but I'm happy with him. Looking at him at the moment, I'm unsure about the pose. Thoughts welcome on this guy! http://33.media.tumblr.com/88e59741b2ddf367c71ea02a01a0579b/tumblr_n91dl3ACrp1thxldxo1_1280.jpg With the Contemptor, I now have all but 2 models for my 1000pt army. All I'm missing are a pair of rhinos, but those will come in time. I've assembled a squad of Assaiult Marines to go with my Jump Pack Chaplain. I'll try for photos this weekend. Speaking, of Jump Packs, I was finally able to finish a certain Marine. http://tarvick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/015.jpg http://tarvick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/014.jpg I'm really pleased with how I painted this Rainbow Warrior, and I'm really considering doing an allied detachment for my Carcharodons force. For those curious, I was going for a slight Valkyrie theme with the wings on the helm, and it's a concept I'd like to play with more. -Tarvick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Awesome stuff! I might have rethink the central theme of my own Rainbow Warriors to include a bit of Viking/Asguardian to the Aztec/Mayan after seeing him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trysanna Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Awesome stuff! I might have rethink the central theme of my own Rainbow Warriors to include a bit of Viking/Asguardian to the Aztec/Mayan after seeing him! I approve of this idea. Glad you like him! I got some quick photos of my Art Scale Terminators that I've been working on for a couple months. A big thanks to Apologist, who was a big help with them. I will be using these Marines as The Red Brethren, who will be fielded with Tyberos at 1500 points. Onto the photos! http://31.media.tumblr.com/a1a07d405d3fc0982d963d475f7a5074/tumblr_n9k8yvWzoT1thxldxo1_1280.jpg http://38.media.tumblr.com/71a277701d3f0fa1934f7d107a659ac2/tumblr_n9k8yvWzoT1thxldxo3_1280.jpg http://38.media.tumblr.com/42e5ceb4a47b89ae631e366a39580bfb/tumblr_n9k8yvWzoT1thxldxo5_1280.jpg I've got a bit of work to do on them yet. I want to bulk out the knee pads, add a thicker belt, and sculpt some lightning bolts on them. I would also like some opinions on the second Terminators head. I don't know if it sticks out too much, or if having a similar head in the squad would help. Thoughts, ideas, and criticism is welcome! -Tarvick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Those are awesome! Great work :) I would also like some opinions on the second Terminators head. I don't know if it sticks out too much, or if having a similar head in the squad would help. I think he's the best of them all – a really threatening pose that suits the chapter well. The helmet also has slits slightly reminiscent of gills, which obviously fits quite nicely. That said, he works so well because he's mixed in with the others, so I'd keep to the regular Terminator style for the rest, personally Anyway, fantastic work – looking forward to seeing these with some paint.

Squeaky Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Great work on the terminators the last guy as a real sense of movement ;) look forward to some paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Loving the poses for those Termi's. Literal hulks the way they hold themselves and far more intimidating. Looking forward to seeing more Edit: Missed the question about the second helmet - that was the one I went "Wow!" over. I suppose it's because it's a break from the "norm" for Terminator armour. I dig it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trysanna Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 So to start, I make no promises on how often I will update! I'm working on a Deathwatch Overkill commission, along with 2 small-ish Age of Sigmar armies. That being said, in a moment of inspiration thanks to the upcoming Carcharodons novel, Red Tithe, I quickly touched up and painted a single Marine. Hope you like him!

Dosjetka Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 He's looking excellent, Trysanna. :tu: I especially like the splatter on his left leg: is that dried blood? The freehand is also impressive, much respect for that! Last but not least, loving the red stripe. Great addition! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
