We both do im wondering at which point i will dream about them...

Looks good the rivets. And Just wondering what guidlines are you using to build this? or are they your own?

I use a template i found on the web.
I will use the template for the basis of the warhound and create my own stuff around it, like the rivets and the vinyl profile thats under the rivets.

The template for the shinguard is angular shaped.. i will try to make a round one.

Cheers

Hey all, since i didnt find time to do much on my Warhound i thought i show pictures of the FIRST miniature my Lady is painting under my guidance .





Of course im quite fond of her painting skills especially when i remember how my first miniatures looked back in the days when i started painting.
This is the first miniatures of many i hope as we bought a whole Eldar army for her .

Cheers all

Looks very good. Some detail touch up where they black covered stuff up and she will be set! You should encourage her to join dakka and start a PM blog.

Thanks yes she will do more highlighting not only on the black. About the encouraging ^^ im not sure she likes to show off her miniatures. Well i for sure will post them every now and then here ^^ seems there will be more "stuff" than "Iron Angels" in this thread .

Stuff is good too

whalemusic360 wrote:Stuff is good too

Im quite fond of the "stuff" as well... maybe i change the thread title at some point . "Stuff and Iron Angels" or something like that.

Wow look really good and crisp shes doing a fine job! keep it up!

IHEARTLARGEBLASTTEMPLATES wrote:Wow look really good and crisp shes doing a fine job! keep it up!

She will and shes sending her thanks still trying to convince her to make an account .

Another little update on the Warhound, now the second foot is done with the L-profile and has many rivets already. Its maybe 2 hours more of riveting and im done with that.. for now.

The foot on the left, is the one im working on atm:


The foot alone:


Cheers all

The feet look great! time to move to leg land! can't wait to see!

Hey thanks for the comments, im eager to start with the legs as well. But the shop i ordered more plastic card hasnt delivered jet...
To post a little something while i wait i can show you an Eldar Jetbike im converting with GS for a warlock:





Cheers all

Well its good that kneadite isnt hardening so soon... i had to correct it every now and then till i had it the way i wanted.
And thanks for the kind words .

YESSS (imitating hissing ) im just not sure how i should paint it.. any idear? Its going to be Saim Hann.

IHEARTLARGEBLASTTEMPLATES wrote:Wow thats Awesome! Those fangs look really cool! great idea!

Only problem is, i forgot to include some wire.. now i have to drill into that gah...

ToxicsLayer wrote:Really like the work! Wish i was that skilled. lol

You want advice on the tools i use? Or some kind of "how to"? I really could make that some time i think.. at least on the Titan. If there is not enough for that out there already.

Cheers all and thanks great to have comments! Very encouraging!

For the teeth i would use bleached bone then wash with devlan mud (the wash is your call) then either put blood on the tips or like a greenish to represent venom. Just ideas..

I was just saying that my skills are of not that level. Really like the work on the titan.

Interesting and varied , will be following the titans progress.

Yeah i will try to go for a natural look with the snake. Im not sure about poison dripping but i will think about it .

Thanks then

Thanks for showing by and commenting, i hope i can continue to work on it soon..

How about a black snake, maybe highlighted with red, and the body in white with red details, kind of like a colonial viper from Battlestar Galactica ?

Hehe yes i could go for black with red ^^. I hope there are real snakes with these colours. I could look at nature for guidance then .

Nice thing is, i will soon make a commission (Tyranid) who also has black/red as colour scheme. I planned on painting the scales black with red highlights.

It seems i will paint these colors quite a lot in the future .

Cheers

Red bellied black snake

You can probably find some better pics, theres a few with red and black rings I believe too, can't recall their names though..

Hello again and sorry to all that i have not posted for quite a while now...

But i can assure you that you didnt miss much, as my titan is still only the feet .

I just wanted to show you a miniature im working on atm. With the upcoming Grey Knight Codex, I finally decided to make a Custodes Army, which i will play with the GK Codex.

The mini is self modelled with GS and Magic Sculp and not finished of course. The space marine next to him is for scale purposes only .
I want the Custodes to be huge, as they are going to represent Paladins .

And now the pictures (the second one is a little older):

Love evrrything you have done. Please post some more iron angels!!

risewiththefallen wrote:Love evrrything you have done. Please post some more iron angels!!

Thank you very much
I will continue with the Iron Angels at some point for sure, but right now i'm very invested in my Custodes project.
It's the first miniature i'm making nearly completely myself (bolter and blade are from GW) and i kind of fell in love with making my own miniatures.

Would I have to make a guess, then I would say that i'm going to paint again, after I have finished at least one squad of 5.

Ok i made some progress with my Custodes today i hope you like it:
