hushrong Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Awesome work! Great conversions and I am going to have to take some mental notes for future work! What legs were you using for those first few warriors? Skalpynock 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson73 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Some wicked new brethren you've added there, the new shoulder pad on Khârn works especially well to emphasise his brutality. I think the neck of the Slaughter-Priest conversion looks overly long with the Iron helm on top, there's something not quite right about the proportions to my eye; the added chains are a very characterful touch, however.

ElDuderino Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Nice work as usual, I quite like the repose of Khârn. Btw, I've ordered a box of blood warriors and some MK III marines, guess what I'm building:) I hope you're ok with me stealing the idea, thanks for coming up with that combo!

Im starting from Scratch on those bad boys and i wasn't thrilled with the Ashencirlce so i repurposed them. Is that last guy Delvarus?! I think so haha I just saw some artwork i love and wanted t more or less recreate it.

I agree, i think it's his traps. Ive already cut down his neck quite a bit. He will be having a spiked pad on his left shoulder which should hide some of the neck, ill post that later and get opinions. Nice work as usual, I quite like the repose of Khârn. Btw, I've ordered a box of blood warriors and some MK III marines, guess what I'm building:) I hope you're ok with me stealing the idea, thanks for coming up with that combo! Thanks Mate, I just wasn't a huge huge fan of falling forward Khârn. Steal away it's probably my favorite thing ive done in 40k. And somehow the proportions actually work. Can't wait to see em!

hushrong Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Man. I may have to get a few of the Ashen Circle and go choppy on them! I also want some meteor hammers too. May have to buy rampagers now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right!? Those meteor hammers are dope. Betrayer, thanks for showing how simple the leg swap is! Having done it now, they'll make great antagonists for my Ultramarines. hushrong 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Glad you like guys. I am constantly buying up rampagers mostly for their amazing spiked pads but their weapon selection is also top notch. Just a note on the Ashen circle, they're not very well proportioned wit normal torsos. You will definitely need some sanding and maneuvering. Also i used chains as belts to help make up for bad proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I may scoop up one or two torsos on eBay to experiment with. Thanks for the heads up! The proportions of the FW HH minis have some range. One I’ve dealt with is how the kakophoni are larger than your regular plastic marines and how the SoH traverse seem a tad smaller. Especially the SoH command set. The leader holding his helm in the crook of his arm seems tiny. And yeah. I really wouldn’t mind the meteor hammers and those sweet two handed chainaxes. For a meteor hammer I want to place one in the hand of a berzerker, like palming a basketball, with the chaindangling down and then back up to be tied around it’s wrist. I’m afraid of the the resin chain they’ve sculpted. Is it pretty sturdy? betrayer41 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, but my best advice to any WE player is picking up small jewelry chain from ebay.....Life changer. especially for what you suggested. I bought gunmetal which is badass but you can also paint over it. ElDuderino 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I bought some chain from Hobby Lobby and only have used it little on my dreads. Have yet to paint it and now hope it’ll work. I’ll keep an eye out for gunmetal but is there a specific size to look for? I remember something like 40 links per inch that Kizzdougs uses. I definitely would love to use it for weapons and on armor too for trophies and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betrayer41 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 I bought lite 5 Yard Nickel Free Color-Keeping Brass Cross Chains Size 2x1.5x0.5mm. Seems to work really well. I love the gunmetal because you can paint it obviously or use as is and kind of rust or up hushrong 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4thHorseman Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Awesome Stuff. Maybe I missed it somewhere in your Amazing Thread, but How do you do your Custodes Gold? I'm looking to do similar on my Sanguinary Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Thanks for looking, glad you enjoy! Gold is black primer. Two layers of Valdor Gold. Wash with agrax not too heavily. Dry brush with p3 platinum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4thHorseman Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Valdor Gold is from which company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Unfortunately from FW which is discontinued. I think if you get a gold that isn't incredibly yellow it still should look similar after the wash and highlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betrayer41 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Ok so taking a break from painting as a pallet cleanser just wanna get some mindless building in. Doing a side project I’ve wanted to do for 10 plus years.....Templars. Very early WIP http://i.imgur.com/8HzdCbI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vMFAMLD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mYuIEkS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DOkEv59.jpg hushrong and ranulf the revenant 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 That's a nice distraction! what are you using for the kneepads? They look good on those primaris marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 That's a nice distraction! what are you using for the kneepads? They look good on those primaris marines. They are from shapeways. Really cool. Help change the whole look. Big random update. Got most of the templars built minus pads which are on the way. Also very very early WIP on my Eaters of Worlds. These don't even have all the base colors on. I am doing a new way of painting white. It's hard to tell from the pics but im liking it SO much better gives alot of depth before i get to washes and highlighting.

hushrong Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I ran out of likes so I will have to tag you back later! Black Templars are looking good. Those third party bits look appropriate for them with the robes. Every bit of power armored warrior monk is shown off there. Plus, they aren't covered in layers like the Dark Angels who raided joann fabrics. World eaters are also looking good with paint. Interested in seeing the final products with this new white recipe you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
