Like i said on msn mate, lovely work - consider the cloth scheme *stolen*

Well, 10 days is almost like a week.

Anyway, here is my first Tactical Squad for the Black Dragons.
The assault on black reach models got really, really tedious after a while...

But they are done, so I'm happy with that.

So, thoughts?

You aren't on MSN for me to say it, so...

I hate you.

danjones87 · November 11th, 2008, 19:24

Nice loyalist scum.

You wont finish them for the meet though!

Tedious or not they came out looking really well. And since I missed it before, Nemo and the Journeylady are dead on. I like the darker, less regal pallet you're using on the Cygnar stuff. Are you going to keep working on more Cygnar stuff or table it for your double ToP?

Exciting new developments!
Well, exciting for me, anyway...

I've been recently rather drastically converting/kit-bashing myself a new Baldur, as I think the original is pretty dull and lifeless... (you can see him *here*).

Anyway, I started off with a Wolf of Orboros, and Baldur.
I took the sword from his back, and reposed the wolf's hand's so that they would be at least almost plausibly holding it.
The wolf's shoulders were removed, so that Baldur's pads could be attached, and then the Green Stuff work commenced.

This is significantly more sculpting than I have ever done before, and while it is still very much WIP, I'm pretty chuffed with myself. I think I'm probably finished with the beard, though I may add a little more. The hood will be extended a fair amount forward, so that I would imagine most of his face will be covered, but I think I want to try and add more detail to the face, just to see if I can, to be honest.

There are other sculpted bits and bobs, but they're not really much compared to the face.

Anyway, enough babble. Pics!

Let me know what you guys think, as that would be awesome.
Anyone having any hints and tips, or links to hints and tips would be most welcome too!

Thanks,
-t.

Very nice, ~t. Looking forward to the finished sculpt!

Hand looks really good, same with the hair, but that mask, dunno, it just seems out of place/proportioned wrong.

danjones87 · November 14th, 2008, 08:44

I think you have done a really good job of the face so far. I have never attempted one as they are super hard. I do have a gamesworkshop tutorial though that is real in depth.

Great work.

I cant rep you as you have been TOO good of recent.

Anyone want rep?

Dan

Really like the seargent's head. very smooth color transitions, though the face grills look a tad bit flat. The sculpting looks good, though the mask is a bit... off.
