Karl_von_Krieg Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, i'm new here and i'll will show you my works on this topic. It's a "little" force i'm working on, and i already have a few paint models. But i'll not give you all the pics in this post, because i'm not a fast painter and i don't want to let you without news. So let's start with a little Castellax (three more coming soon): And a little preview of my magos, because i'm a bit cruel That's all folks, hope you will enjoy my first post!

Black Cohort Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Are the flames on the shoulders freehand? Overall I like the look of them but I feel like a bit of red would help. Most Mechanicus stuff has a at least a bit of red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl_von_Krieg Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Black Cohort: Yes they are freehands. And no red for me, every mechanicus army have some red on them, so i want something different. :p Ishagu: And you have seen nothing! :) More to come soon...

Cryptix Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Tell me, how do you like Valhallan Snow? I'm thinking of using them on my Death Guard to try and unify the army, but I hate working with bases (I just buy the Anvil Industry ones).

Confused Word Bearer Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) They look wonderful! Great freehanding too! I love Thantar, they're awesome looking models. Mind showing it next to the Castellax? I want to see how large it is compared to it. Edited November 8, 2016 by Warsmith Krast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol_Invictus Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Very nice! Why must you tease us so? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl_von_Krieg Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Grand Master Laertes: Incaladion for the win, isn't it? :D Loddfafnir113: Thank you, hope you will like what's coming up next. Cryptix: I never used Valhallan Snow, i just use a mix of artificial water and sodium bicarbonate. I think it looks well so... Warsmith Krast: Thanks dude! I will post a pics of them side by side :) Sol_Invictus: Hehe, no more teaser so! So, guys, here are the next pics. First of all a conversion i saw once on this forum, and i fell in love with. A renegade Thallax! And a pics of my three minis together That's all folks! :D Confused Word Bearer, Dr_Ruminahui, Dosjetka and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Excellent work so far. :tu: How do you paint your yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Laertes Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Grand Master Laertes: Incaladion for the win, isn't it? You can't go wrong with black flames on yellow plates It's nice to see some more love for this Forge World. And I second Dosjetka's question: how did you achieve that yellow tint? It is really great!

Confused Word Bearer Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I was about to ask where the Cyborg Skeletons were, but then you posted one! And it looks awesome. Man, I know Thallax are larger than Space Marines, and that Castellax are larger than Thallax, but man, that Thanatar just dwarfs them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cohort Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 That Thallax is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl_von_Krieg Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Dosjetka and Grand Master Laertes: First of all thanks a lot. :) Then the yellow is quiet easy to achieve. first i paint the plate in Averland Sunset. Then i add some Yriel Yellow. Finally the plate is in "pure" Yriel Yellow. Then, with a drawing pen, i draw the flames, and paint them. Come weathering time! Use some oil paint, Typhus Corrosion and pigments. And tadaaa! Warsmith Krast: Yes, the Thanatar is a real monster and his appearence has a huge impact on the table. :p Black Cohort: Thanks a lot dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 A lot of love in those minis! Really like the colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Laertes Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 We use the same formula for the yellow armour. Maybe it's the oil paints or the weathering that trick my eye in seeing your yellow with a richer orange-ish tint (that I like a lot), or maybe is the contrast with bigger black surfaces. However, I am really intrigued by that teaser of your Tech-priest, and I am looking forward to se him in all his glory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl_von_Krieg Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Charlo: Thanks a lot! :) Grand Master Laertes: The oil did that i think. But it's possible that the bigger black surfaces help a lot. So, no more spoiler, here are some pics of my Magos! And some details I hope you will like it! :D Cadmus Tyro, Legionnaire of the VIIth, Confused Word Bearer and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Master Laertes Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 While I am not entirely sold on this modern idea of the Techpriests wearing the colours of their Forge World's army instead of the red of the Cult (man, I look old!), I really like your paintjob. More than that, however, I love your conversion. It's grim-dark, it's a frightful fusion of a necromancer with a cyborg-engineer, exactly what the Adeptus Mechanicus has always been. Also it nods subtly to a parte of the background of our belowed Forge World that I've loved since the release of the 3rd edition Codex: Necrons (those minuscule scarabs are a touch of genius)!

Confused Word Bearer Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Now that's one nice Magos! Mind sharing on how you made him? I can tell that you used some of the 40k Dominus parts, but I'm not sure what else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Laertes Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I recognize the body amd the shoulder guards of a Myrmidon, the powerfist of drakyvaak, a mechanic arm and the cortex from the archmagos dominus, the staff top of a necron, some necron scarabs. Not sure about his dataslate and his head, though. Edited November 9, 2016 by Grand Master Laertes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
