Dantay VI Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Really like the Tarvitz head. Without the GS and a tiny beard, you would have a decent-ish GoT Hound head :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackalwolf Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thank you so much for the kind comments. I already finished all my airbrush work in my two tactical squads and I'm finishing them off with brush on batches of five now, first five armor complete! http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20III/036F5728-8BB2-4B07-85C2-F1A190C9FFBB_zps3bngglum.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Commander Eidolon Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Looking good mate - as soon as the ETL is finished, I'll see those 5 tacticals and raise you 5..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Haha that´s a deal, I´m doing a real heavy hobby push for the next 10 days! I´d like to have all my tactical squads done by the 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Great work here Grieux !, Really Loving the Gold, next time you paint the Gold could i trouble you to make a picture tutorial on your gold technique i think it's a really great look and would be a welcome addition to be pinned into the - +Tutorials & How To's + , Painting tutorial section.... Cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Certainly, I'll be most happy to do so. I just finished the purples in my first tactical squad so it's time to move on to metals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 I know I said I would not redo Saul Tarvitz but the scale of the champion torso always threw me off, and when I saw the magnificent conversion from Eidolon, I knew I had to base mine on his interpretation: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20III/C5793A60-EBF5-4EF2-B7F1-33DE441299F4_zpssdbavj7p.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20III/BF3C9844-9D1C-424C-998B-5E15633C853D_zpszvuta3fb.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20III/693A08BA-D6C3-4A4C-86E2-34F455F23865_zpsakw5q3ss.jpg I'm only waiting for a sniper rifle to convert the bolter to his long range rifle and that's it. Arms and head are magnetised so I can run him as a Praetor or champion with Phoenix spear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Commander Eidolon Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Nice work!! Infact I think I hate you, as I might prefer yours! Good use of the boarding marine, using him for Tarvitz is a worthy sacrifice!! I also like Eidolon's dagger on his belt, I might have to steal that and see if I can put it on mine!! I also like the pose slightly more on yours! He looks much more rugged!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Very nice. I do like Marines with their bolters slung like that: it's one of my favorite poses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Oh man!!! Dude, that's amazing! Easily the best Tarvitz that I've seen. The combination of bits and the awesome pose all work perfectly together. To be honest, I'm pretty jealous. I wish he was mine :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Marines with their bolters slung like that: it's one of my favorite poses. I thought it was particularly relevant for Tarvitz since a sniper bolter is one of his trademarks. Oh man!!! Dude, that's amazing! Easily the best Tarvitz that I've seen. The combination of bits and the awesome pose all work perfectly together. To be honest, I'm pretty jealous. I wish he was mine Thank you kizz! It was a pain since until I set on this base of Loken from Eidolon's conversion i must have chopped 40 pounds worth of bits that just ended on the rubbish bin lol. To do it again though it's quite straightforward, the hardest part being the torso from the Boarding Marine from 2011 which was a bit of a risk to cut.

Nomus Sardauk Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 That's a beautiful Tarvitz conversion Grieux, will you be adding the half-Aquila on his vambrace? Man, I always wanted FW to give Saul a model despite his brief part in the Heresy, given how his actions changed the course of the Heresy by allowing Garro & Loken to survive Istvaan III, and become the first Knights Errant.

Thanks man! I will try painting the vambrace aquilas in. And I totally agree on the FW model. It's a pitty it wasn't done during books I to III since now it's really unlikely with all the queue they have for new releases for playable new models. Another one I'm sad they didn't recreate on it's day is Lucius since I'd have appreciated having a version of him you can use both pre and post heresy like Eidolon rather than a mutated freak like they'll most probably sculpt.

Jackalwolf Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Been a while since the last update but back on hobby track with the promised gold tutorial. Step one is just covering all gold parts carefully with retributor gold, two or three layers to ensure good coverage. http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Army%20Sale%20-%20Sons%20of%20Horus/E7F54ED9-C3F6-49F5-A151-C31E00CE28B1_zpsfslmpigv.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackalwolf Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 I finally managed to finish my first tactical squad! http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20III/3DE65036-7F64-47F0-9804-87DE11DC0C6B_zpsnkbpnc7z.jpg Just need to varnish them for some nice protection for which I'll use the usual vallejo gloss spray plus dullcote combination. I'm still very much wondering about the basing for the army. I did buy the new gw basing kit as I thought it would be nice to represent Istvann III but to be honest I'm wondering if I truly like it. Any ideas are very welcome. The second squad already has all the airbrush work done on them so they shouldn't take that long to finish off, just need line highlights, chipping damage, blacks, metals and then gold! P.S. Made some wip pictures on how to paint the gold so will upload these later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Commander Eidolon Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Didn't spot the update here, those tactical faces look pretty swish to me! I love that Praetor head, might have to demote my guy to a Sgt.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Introducing... Chaplain Culln. http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20III/D4EB8FE5-68E3-451C-B881-1442AE4218E9_zpsctbi3vl4.jpg Pending some finishing touches. Left arm and right hand are magnetised so I can swap for a powerfist plus crozius combination. Wondering on the shield to be honest when he's just with the crozius. His role is to go with the Phoenix Guard so thought breacher shiny was useful for defensive grenades but if I'm getting charged I'm toast anyway. Thoughts in terms of usefulness vs a refractor field? Also, aesthetic wise the shield makes him look more brutal and less noble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Chaplain Culln looks absolutely badass! About the head of the praetor/officer with the phoenix spear from the previous picture, where is it from? I've seen a couple times but I can't locate it.

Jackalwolf Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thank you so much! That head is from the space marine tank crew from FW, easily one of the coolest ones they've ever sculpted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo13 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 That needs to get painted like yesterday... It's a beautiful model/conversion. He looks like a true skull basher Also will he be painted purple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Thank you so much, I was planning on painting him black with the shoulder pads purple as an accent color, both to give him a distinct flavour to the rest of my force and because his fluff is that he recovered the armor of Charmosian from the ruins of Istvann III and donned it, finally becoming a Chaplain after years of dreadful visions that started when Fulgrim stepped on Laeran.

Dantay VI Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think it is a cool idea. A quick question though. Charmosian was a traitor following Fulgrim. So why use his armour? Is it like the ghost of Charmosian? Also do we know what happened to Charmosians jelmet after Lucius beheaded him and used the helmet to contact the traitors?
