Dude Talos is amazing but Xarl.......

 

I'm stealing that pose for my Night Lords!

 

I really love your painting style btw, I'm not sure what it is but the blue is really nice. I'm sure you've said before but could I have the recipe, or a link to where you've posted it.

WoW, Xarl is a real bad-ass :biggrin.: love his grumpy face <3 can't wait for the group-shot (aswell as the other cast ... you should do Vandred too!!)

It has been a bit of a hassle, but the finished model is totally worth it -- Xarl is perfect, just as I would have imagined him: A hulking, threatening brute with an enormous chainsword. Excellent job!

 

I second the demand for a group shot, btw! Oh, and doing a model for Deltrian is also a fantastic idea -- that guy just steals every scene he's in, in my opinion ;)

 

Anyway, amazing work! Congrats on a fantastic First Claw!

Thanks everyone, for the replies and likes! 

 

@SalvationOfReason: I'm not sure yet about the truescale dread. It seems I'm in way over my head to build a proper Octavia at this point..

 

@Flint13: Nope, not gonna stop. Trying to keep the momentum going. If I look at your learning curve, there's much to improve on mine.

 

@Black_out: Thanks. Just thanks! thanks thanks thanks ;)

 

@Kriegsmacht: Yeah that is cool huh? Mercutian has 'smite', which considering his heavy bolter also seemed fitting. ;)

 

@Kizzdougs: Coming up tonight!

 

@The Hydra: Sure mate, I posted my colour scheme secrets here.

 

@Atia: He IS a grumpy face! Hahaha And while Vandred isn't part of First Claw anymore, I might do him someday.

 

@KRautScientist: Group shot en route. What do you think of this guy as a bsae for Deltrian?

@Brother Heinrich: :tu: Glad you like him mate!

 

@Brother Captain Arkhan: Cheers!

 

@AlDuderino: Will do will do!!

Hmm, to be honest, that's not how I pictured Deltrian at all: He is always described as skeletally thin and deceptively delicate, if I recall correctly. Maybe you should take a look at kitbashing him from some Necron bitz and a Cairn Wraith (or something like that)...?

 

As for Octavia, there are some Necromunda Escher juves that might fit the bill.

^^ That is true. He is described as having a "skeletal thin" frame several times with a frame work exoskeleton.

 

Wasn't it mentioned he was even taller than the Astartes though? I'm 90% sure...

i'm with Kraut and Flint on the Deltrian topic. he should be very thin and bony in my opinion. i always figured he would look like a mechanised mummy or skeleton.

Gave to agree with Kraut, Cairn Wraith body/robes combined with necron legs might do the trick, would have to extend the robe though. Maybe lengthen the body using part of a necron body/spinal bits.
Plus, there's that grinning skull mask bit for the Wraith head that would work perfectly for how his face is supposed to look.

I know the Cairn Wraith model is almost overused as far as Adeptus Mechanicus characters go, but to be honest, whilst reading the Night Lords omnibus I couldn't think of a better match for that figure than Deltrian's description (plus some legs). He's like an exceptionally slender, tall Grim Reaper.

Thanks for the input everyone. To be honest I was so wrapped up in getting the details of the Astartes members of First Claw during my last read-through of the trilogy, I haven't paid attention to Deltrian. So your descriptions are most welcome. 

 

The Cairn Wraith also sounds like a good basis. Basically Kierdale's awesome techpriest conversion over at the Arena Challenge thread, right? Perhaps with Thallax legs?

Hope you like! Thanks for all the awesome feedback, suggestions and the discussion. I really enjoyed it and it has all pushed me to complete this squad to the best of my abilities!! :thumbsup:

 

There's a collection of all individual pics here in my showcase.

A bit late to the party (as I missed Xarl being finished) but that group picture is jaw-droppingly good! They look absolutely brilliant!
