So I've been thinking about it and i figured out what to do for my objective markers. I decided to make 3 markers with my interpretation to three of the artifacts of vulkan . First is the Eye of Vulkan, what i decided to do was take an auspex and add a purity seal to the handle. nex i decided to make the "unbound flame" and i took a melta bomb and added a purity seal to that too. last one i did was the "chalice of fire" and i took a vehicle melta gun and added a purity seal to it. but to make them more... ancient looking i decided to give them pillars that are Romanesque . made out of marble and made the items look like thy were floating above the pillar.

sorry for no pix.. lemme look for some batteries for my camera

Ok guys what you've been waiting for







i know i still gotta do some GS work around the columns and base... but that's what i got so far

They look like power ups in a videogame to me.

I'll reserve judgment until they're painted, but they look alright for a start.

i see what you mean. But i still have loads of gs work to do and i wanna make them look like roman pillars made of marble. well the marble part will be more towards the end... because thats how i plan to paint it

Make collums out of the ones you find on a cake.

Its nice

just a small update right now.. so i let my green stuff dry.. then painted them black this afternoon.. took the weapons off the stands so i can detail them better. Shortly i'm gonna give the columns the look of marble and after that im gonna hunt around for some batteries so i can take a few pix.

just finished doing the faux marble texture...and it looks great but as i was hunting for batteries... i woke up my niece who decided uncle bob was scary at 11pm looking through the junk drawer

I think I get where you're going with these, but the pillars really need to be redone. They look pretty bad. They are off center and the tops and bottoms are jagged and disproportionate.
They don't represent the artistry found in Imperial architecture at all.
