Mandragola Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just had a look at the sprue and yes, the terminators come with a spare pair of shoulder pads. The guards don't, so one of my guys will be shoulderpad-less... if I ever get round to building them. To be honest the point I began cannibalising these guys for bits is kind of an acknowledgement that I'm unlikely to finish them. Got the sprues pretty cheap when the Heresy box set was out and they've been in a box since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoon Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Inspired bitz use Bjorn! Another idea I'm going to have to "lift" for my own use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rejects of Anvilus Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Here's my far more low tech, and less skillful bodge job at adding a lion to the shoulders. Again using Scibor bits. Dark Bjoern 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 That works well. The twiddly stuff around the head looks a bit like what you get on some Custodes bits. Rejects of Anvilus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrypie Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It fits well, looks a bit more restrained and elegant in that classical antique sculpture fashion. Rejects of Anvilus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) And i´ve another idea for some more decorative additions for my psi-warlord. http://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x120/DarkBjoern/4/Ordo%20Sinister%20WIP%2015.JPG I think that should be enought bling bling.

Mandragola Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Photobucket seems to be becoming more restrictive. I've switched to Flickr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fajita Fan Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Photobucket seems to be becoming more restrictive. I've switched to Flickr. It it quick? I take pictures with my phone, airdrop them to my iPad, and upload them to the gallery using my iPad's new image reduction option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 I totally freaked out with the base. What do you guys think? Too much? http://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x120/DarkBjoern/4/Ordo%20Sinister%20WIP%2016.JPG http://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x120/DarkBjoern/4/Ordo%20Sinister%20WIP%2017.JPG Shovellovin, General Zodd, Fajita Fan and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrypie Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I like that, floating bits and bobs fit the odd nature of the thing just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The floating rocks on the base looks most promising and imaginative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoon Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'll be shaving the "wings" off the shoulders of mine, and 3D printing something very close to this as a replacement. Will hollow some of the center, add some detail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 A lion profile would look cool too. Thundercats logo anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zodd Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I totally freaked out with the base. What do you guys think? Too much? This looks brilliant! I had half a mind to do something similar but couldn’t for the life of me think how to achieve it! I think it makes absolute sense that this thing is so unnatural even the ground wants to get away from it. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 I was inspired by a pic in HH7: Inferno. But i think i will redo it and replace the wire with clear 1mm acryl rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think the wire might be fine if painted dark. If doing acrylic you might want to do individual stalks for each one because you'll get reflections off laterals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The boater Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 From the artwork, looks like the new model for the dark angels primarch will have a lion shoulder plate... might be some good conversion potential for making sinister emblems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoon Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Concerning the base, if you can connect the rocks in such a way that they still give the impression of floating, I think it would end up better that the wires. You could use ghosts trails from AOS or some of the endless spell packs to get the "whispy immaterium" effect you're looking for while still giving you something mechanically solid and aesthetically pleasing. In my experience, wires are tough to hide, and the paint tends to flake off them over time since they flex slightly every time the miniature is moved.

Dark Bjoern Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 The Titan is done. Next will be the base. But i fear that have to wait ´till end of the lockdown. http://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x120/DarkBjoern/Ordo%20Sinister%20WIP%2018.JPGhttp://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x120/DarkBjoern/Ordo%20Sinister%20WIP%2019.JPGhttp://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x120/DarkBjoern/Ordo%20Sinister%20WIP%2020.JPGhttp://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x120/DarkBjoern/Ordo%20Sinister%20WIP%2021.JPGhttp://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x120/DarkBjoern/Ordo%20Sinister%20WIP%2022.JPGhttp://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x120/DarkBjoern/Ordo%20Sinister%20WIP%2023.JPG Interrogator Stobz, Bjorn Firewalker, Sandlemad and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
