Pip update on northstar

 

First time doing chipping/battledamage

 

before i state issues:

 

On top of this still needs to go, weathering/dirt effects and light source glow effects

 

- for a first time doing it i kinda like it, however i got a little brush drunk, so I have to go back and clean it up a bit

Here it is. I was beginning to think it was all a lucid dream. But no this genuinely happened, these models do exist. I must have stumbled across this weeks ago but not been able to find it again.

 

These are bananas. The fun is really coming across in the models. Your just going for it..

 

Particularly like the Wulfen Priest. The whole theme is great. All of the free hand on Ulrik and the knot work is subtle at first but then you see all the detail when you look closer. The big stuff is really out there and original. Looks like loads of fun.

lots of fun painting this, a lot easier than I anticipated.

 

Did some markings, then got to do the weathering.

 

My thinking behind the heavy weathering is,  this 4th breakaway fleet doesnt have full access to repair its equipment, thats why the suits look so different. made from found parts on an abondoned forgeworld, and scraped together tau parts.

 

These suits endure extensivly long combat operations, and even when those operations end, they may not have the time to repair and refinish the suits as most normal tau do.

learned boat loads about weathering and chipping on this model so far. the next tau models will be more reserved in terms of chipping

The camouflage pattern, weathering, and dynamic pose make your battlesuit look great!

thanks bjorn.

 

I'm hoping to get northstar done by this weekend. SO I may start on my ETL vow.

 

I'm holding off on my wolves atm, waiting for the new codex to drop

thanks naryn!

 

thanks brother lunkhead, I try my best to make the posing seem natural and fluid, its pretty difficult to do with the tau suits in general as they have a limited movement range

-------------------------------

update on northstar

 

base done, did the dirt weathering ( have to touch up the gun after the flow effects)

 

started doing the glow effects, its all at step 1 or 2, of about 5 steps

"You! Yes you! You are dead."- That Battle Suit probably.

Jokes aside fantastic work, I can see that thing doing the Titanfall 2 Legion execution on a Tyranid Bio-Titan.

Starting my GSC/NIDS allied army.

 

It is themed after The Locust swarm from Gears of war.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

quick background.

 

Hive Fleet Locust was thought destroyed by the Ultramarines and imperial navy,  yet it's tendrils were insidious.

 

It's hive ship crashed on a hostile world. Its outer shell almost barren of all life, the worlds original name is gone, it was virus bombed to destroy any and all organic life. Yet, there existed Hives on this world, underground, built around mining colonies.

 

When the hive ship crashed, there were few surviving, or slowly dying the organisms went dormant, all except for the Genestealers. THey burrowed into the ground, and made their way into a small mining dome at first.

 

Over the years, they stole children from outposts, and indoctrinated them into the brood. initially only doing this on the most isolated outposts, and careful never to take to many.

 

And thus the urban legend spread around the world.

 

The fringe mining colonies however were slowly mining more and more year after year. to the surprise pleasure of the hive cities, and upon inspection it was noted that the fringe colonies were devolving into abhumans. Some looked like ogryns, others ratlings, but all had Pale Skin. It was often overlooked, and played down the extents to the abhumans, due to their high output of raw mineral.

 

The urban legend would describe them as having pale thick skin, with Tough ethereally like calluses.

 

These "molemen" were mining, not for the minerals, but to reach other tyranid organisms that eitehr fell into crevasses  on the surface or burrowed beneath. IT was noted that the organisms they reached were highly damaged. and in an undocumented and unexplained action towards the greater tyranid organisms was taken. The cults were "salvaging" them, it is noted that damaged Harpys they have reached they have retrofitted with imperial equipment. to make them fulfill the roll they initially did.

 

At the moment it is noted that This outbreak, and behavior is limited to this system, admech and biologus have sent observation specialists to document the strange creations and amalgamations taking place in this imperial backwater.

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

Started this the other day, pictures will come friday.

 

First project:

 

Harpy: REaver

 

retro fit:

- onsalaught cannon replacing the main harpy weapons

- retro thrusters. harpies damaged wings, mutated into spindly limbs.

- Further augmented and controlled by two GSC cultists now riding the harpy.

 

should look similar to this

Hey man, new to your thread. I just happened to notice a post by my friend saying he thought your stuff was awesome so I had a good look through and he wasn't wrong was he!

 

Space wolves are fantastic, really enjoy the dymanism and rebuids for your counts as units. They look so cool. You Tau are fun, they some of them kind of remind me of those robots from Portal 2? Anyway yeah they were also great and the GSC themed army looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing some more stuff and please you've posted again.
