Hah, thanks guys!

What do you think is putting you off of it Rama?

I thought the staff looked weird too, at first. But that's because I didn't see the runes, so it looked like he was holding the staff in his hand, but not really. So, maybe the staff lacks weight against his body? It could be pressing into the flesh and muscle of his forearm a bit more, eh?

I see what you mean. I'm hoping the furred mantle on his shoulders will help since the staff will be parting it. It may be challenging to do anything about the arm though, but ill investigate.

I just don't like it. I tried the pose out myself with a big pipe I had lying around, but it felt really weird. It's just not something I see someone doing for any reason whatsover. Okay, he needs both hands for his runes, I get that. And he probably doesn't want to put down his staff every time. But the pose is just not working for me, I can't help it!

Fantastic work!

Looking good as usual

You, sir, are insane.


Looking forward to more progress on this

Thanks guys for the kind words!

Except you Rama!!!! Jk <3

Well i added a few things and normally at this stage I'd just wait to post it until 100% done but the changes ended up bringing the piece together quite a bit.







A bit more layering to be done on the fur and the top edge of the cloak to hide the wire still to do. I also made an edged shield for him since Slaughtermasters can take Ironfists but i don't know where to put it...I'm thinking like it's half under his cloak on his lower back but I'm not sure.

Great sculpt yet again, loving the stones being dropped between his hands!

This is legendary stuff buddy, you can really feel the cosmic winds billowing around him just by the movement of his cape, that's the mark of a damned good sculptor

Subbed!

These are absolutely incredible.

Wow, just found this thread from the link in DCM today and it's amazing...

1. Seeing how much you have to cut up that first ogre to get the pose you wanted
2. Incredible GS on the fur leggings/boots on the first guy, they look so natural!
3. Planning to use (Avatars of War?) dwarfs as gnoblars... awesome!
4. From the pics, only ~5 models going so far? It might be a while before this sees the field if you keep up this incredible standard!

I completly agree. Your use of gs is outstanding!
Even more so for me because I am a complete novice with the stuff.
keep up the good work!

He's looking amazing. All the fur and hair on him is fantastic. I really dig his eyebrows. That cape is quite impressive as well.

One thing, it looks like there is a mold line on the side of his head. I know he's still WIP, but I thought I'd mention it, just in case.

Exalted, Subbed and Pics saved in EPIC INSPIRING FOLDER.

I believe we have found a new Super Hero by the name of FearPeteySodes!!

keep it up,

cheers,

Bra'tac

The runes falling from hand to hand look awesome, and the cloak is outstanding, i love the ragged edge to it.

Quite so
super job.

The runes looks great. There's a real movement in them and you didn't even have to use some sort of wire.

The scythe itself has a lot of character. I love how he just tied the jaw bone to a regular ogre club.

I love the poses, they look a lot more natural than 90% of sculpts ive seen, even when ive tried with my peices i cant get them looking as natural as that!

You have a lot of skill with GS and i can only hope to acheive half the quality you get

I'll be watching this with interest

I wonder if gm has ever asked him for a sculpting job?

He looks wonderful.

Damn response-splosion! Thanks guys!

@RiTides - Yea it will take a while but with the low model count and my new job (far less hours) it won't be too long. I would love to maybe have something for Adepticon this spring but that's pie in the sky. I do plan to at least make the pilgrimage even if i cant play.

This is what i have in mind for the core (2K) of my army for those interested and to get a better timeline:


I ran out of GS stuff doing the mantle yesterday but i knew i would and ordered a crap load more that should be here tomorrow (Thanks Warstore!). The stuff i had previously was also almost a decade old too . Hopefully having fresh GS might make it easier to work with. Plan for the immediate future is to finish the Shaman and the 2 remaining ogres in the kit i have, then make some dwarves since the AoW order should be here this week too. I don't want to start my Bear-horn/hunter yet since thats going to suck me in and not let go and i want to get more ogres done before the monsters (as incentive).

Edit: Tracking shows the GS is at my house! Tonight I drink mead, watch Thor on Blu-ray, and sculpt some Frosties!

Amazing Sculpts, its going to be an insanely charactiful army. The Shaman is mind blowing.

Will be subscribing to this one.

Very nice, will continue to watch this thread.
