I'm actually very excited to put up a pic of the assembled Zoanthrope. It just happens to be my first attempt at any sort of base that is more than just a plain black circle.

Hmm, deja vu - I'm posting this in an attempt to see the zoey that I think you've put up

edit: partially worked, got page 11 up now, but you haven't put a finished zoey up yet, guess I'll wait a bit more

2nd edit: Ahh, just got your pm, thanks

Ok. This ones for you Monkeytroll, well you and anyone else checking this My first Zoey is almost done! Bear in mind the toothpick is temporary... you'll know what I'm talking about soon







Let me know what you all think!

Nice, love the toothpick

Good work on the head there, very smooth, nice sculpting
My only suggestion would be to maybe tilt it slightly (head if still seperate, whole body if not) so it doesn't appear to be looking straight down? Unless there's going to be a cowering guardsman down there.

I might just do that, but bare in mind that the metal Zoeys that GW makes look as though they are searching for something on the ground too.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I already rotated him

Very nice GSing. Was that a warrior base or massive amounts of GS?

The only thing on the head that isn't GS is the face.

Awesome. I really like the way he seems relaxed. It really looks like he's levitating. Cool

i suck at GS.... teach me...

Wonderful work, rotating the head or giving him something to dominate over would go miles with him.


But since you say you rotated him can we see the updated pics?

I will try to get something posted later today pic-wise. As I am sitting here looking at some bits I have lying about I'm thinking that making an injured -insert army unit here- would look even more fun I'm going to get started on that straight away!

Ah. Sorry. I really liked the runaways movie, and I'm in love with kristen stewart, so I express that by putting her picture up on a forum <3<3Kristen

Good enough reason.

Yay,acceptance. :3

What? Anyway, I got some pictures of my Commander, but I decided to show off my new sexy Guardsmen. Here's some pics I took like 20 minutes ago. I'm taking more tommorw when the lighting's better





And one more with flash that I don't really like at all.

Not going to lie, if she smiled ever instead of that stupid pouty look all the time she would be very attractive... but theres just something that bugs me about her pouty face. Go get some sun and smile woman!

Have you decided on a dead guy yet? Oh wait...

I'm well into the process of making my "soon-to-be" dead guy

What gets me about the head sculpt is how uniform and smooth it is. The ridges, and sections of the plates is great, and the additions of the minor imperfections and cracks sells it totally. You've got real skill, and I'm jealous as hell

@Vent- That means a ton to me! I've been trying real hard to get better with things like GS and believe me it has not always been fun, nor has it always had the best results!


OK! After a little work I have added something for the Zoanthrope to look at... Let me know what you guys think!



And one with everyone at the party



Again please let me know your thoughts.

Oh yeah

Make him more dead. The zoanthrope actually looks threatened there. At point blank range, a bolt would be able to kill it. Might as well give him a plsama pistol !

If I may make a suggestion?
Green-stuff over its eyes. Zoanthropes shouldn't need to see, they should know where everything is by their incredible psychic force.
And when you paint the marine? Either pin-point pupils or huge pupils, to give it a feel of something messing with his head, rather than a last valiant stand against the bug.
