Dosjetka Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 +] WIP shot of the test model; at this point I'm not sure about the sepia wash used for the armour, the bronze used for the shoulder pad trim, or the tone of grey I used for weathering [+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I think the test model looks great with my only minor criticism being the wash. It doesn't look bad but it looks too yellow. I wonder if a brown would look a bit more fitting. The bronze and the grey you used look pretty spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykes Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 All in, and all awesome. Leeeeets see, I think I'd agree with hushrong about at least a concentrated but minimal amount of brown wash would likely help really make some of the joints 'pop'. While GW washes are great, I seem to recall using both oils and P3 inks to really good effect on Death Guard in the past. They're just really thin and high contrast so they stick to the crevices really well. I think the yellowed sepia works fine near the rolled plate tops and rivets but it might need a touch more contrast around the elbow couter plate, the knee poleyn plate, and maybe around the major seperations of the power pack. Tone wise I think it's good, whatcha thinking up for a basing scheme? That can always matter depending on if you're planning more weathering powders or the like :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Thank you for the feedback, folks. Much appreciated. :tu: True to my Hobby Butterfly Syndrome, I've been thinking of another facet of this project which involves a group of loyalist Sons of Horus. The betrayal of both their gene-father and brothers has had a profound and traumatic effect on them, and I would like for them to decide on a new name for their warband (them, quite understandably, not wanting to be called Sons of Horus any more). I've been spitballing some ideas but would appreciate some community input on these. So far I have the following list: Ashen Sons Cindered Sons Cloven Sons Shattered Sons Splintered Sons Sons of Ash Sons of Oblivion Sons of Shards Brotherhood of Ash Brotherhood of Oblivion Brotherhood of Shards Company of Ash Company of Oblivion Company of Shards Ashen Spear(s) Ashen Blade(s) Ashen Claw(s) Ashen Maw(s) Ashen Wolves Shattered Spear(s) Shattered Blade(s) Shattered Claw(s) Shattered Maw(s) Shattered Wolves This list is by no means exhaustive and I encourage people to pitch their suggestions should they consider the above name ideas inadequate. :) Thank you for looking. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgersinHills Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The Death Guard test mini looks great, though I agree with Vykes that some brown wash in the recesses would really make it pop. As for the Sons of Horus naming, the Ashen Wolves is reminiscent of Wolf of Ash and Fire. Perhaps you could shorten it to Ash Wolves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If you do go with something ashen for their name please call their main warship 'The Urn'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBear Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Tester looking good, even though I agree with hushrong that it looks a bit too yellow, and that a more brown tone might improve it. Regarding the name I think that 'Ash Wolves' sounds rather good, or perhaps 'Broken Wolves'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykes Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Heh, naturally I'm gonna be predisposed to liking the 'Ash Wolves' :P My mongrel Ash Jackals are happy to see some other wasteland 'treats' poking their heads from their dens! I'd strike out the Ashen Claws (already the Raven Guard), but you could give them both their loyalist and original legion style to differentiate them from the traitor main force, what with the Sons of Horus/Luna Wolves traitor-loyalist split. You could go right back to Dusk Raiders 'allied' group, combining the cognomen of both the XVI and XIV legions: the Dusk Wolves. Other ones I like are Sundered Sons, Dusk Fangs, do like Sons of Oblivion too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
