Works as an explanation for me. And it is always interesting to see something that isn't regularly done. If you ever wanted it, you have my full blessing on this endeavour.

Thanks

Have a wolfscout conversion to show, though he is fairly vanilla.

Nice work mate , the arm and seam are spot on .

Welcome back Neil! Cheers was fairly chuffed with the cape, have decided to slowly develop my sculpting instead of going straight for the scratch builds lol. I am currently sculpting a hand for the libby, havent lost patience yet so thats a good sign.

This lots look really nice mate. I too am interested in following the development of this librarian, so consider this to be subbed

Thanks for commenting on my Blog. Your poses are just awesometastic, i love the cloak on the libby, you have joined them together really well.

Yellow is such a hard colour to paint, and you have done it really well, it inspires me to go back and sort out the yellow on my Necrons

So finally got round to some modelling in the past week. Have been attempting some stuff with space marine legs that may be of interest but thats for a future post.

For Now i give you the last two members of my Stern-wolf-guard. I kinda wimped out with the last guy, he may yet just be a normal marine/sergeant but i really want to start painting these doods. So look out for one last combi melta/fist guy somewhere along the line.

Here's the Sergeant (fluffwise, AFAIK ruleswise wolf guard dont have a sergeant upgrade). He actually had a fairly cool 360 gorget with Master chief syle vents at the sides, until i realized space marines had massive shoulder pads .



+I had a tiny blob of waste GS so I rather half-arsedly re-sculpted some of the chest eagle i filed off, it looks horrible this close but i can live with it.



+The combi melta looks pretty nifty here, sorry there are no better pics .

Rather annoyingly i came up with the definitive (imo) combi melta for him, i really wish i had thought of it ealrier. It is simply a melta barrel (for wysiwyg purposes, obviously any 'Thermic gun' looking doo-hickey would suffice) stuck on a powerplant from an astartes chainsword stuck on the bottom of a UF bolter. I filed the foregrip right down to the barrel, including the rail as i dont like my combi weapons looking too 'Tall'.

This last guy does look good its just from the side he looks like he is doing something between the Thriller strut and the more recent 'Creep'.


+And yes, i did cut down the fingers so they were the right sizes. Infact hobby tip, the 'socket' hand in your bog standard bolter arms has freakishly long fingers, bear this in mind if you wish to use them. Imo the same can be said for the Missile launcher hand, though many people still use it for the 'martial arts' look.



+This angle much better illustrates what i was going for. I called this picture 'the failed ambush' as it what i imagine some sneaky traitor would see when he bursts from cover.

Good job, Perk!

finally some signs of life in this long dormant thread...

and what signs... for me the resculpted eagle looks good! and i really like your posed marines...

one thing tho... the hand of the last guy you modeled...he looks a bit...well as if the hand just lost his handkerchief, if you catch my drift...the rest is pretty classy looking...


vik

Always love seeing your conversions dude! and you have some great poses again! I quite like the creeper! :-)

Nice work Perkustin , The combi melta is genius , consider that idea stolen matey ;-) will have to get me some of those bolters though to do it. The chest eagle will be fine until you come to paint it . Really cool to see your stuff on here again mate. glad the mojo is back .. Merry christmas mate.

Here's some dreadnought. Did a bit of spongey dirt on it, quite chuffed with the results.

the dirt looks very good to me...same with the base color of the armour...what i am not so much satisfied with is the white splashes...i bet they should look like waer and tear ...but they do look somewhat...iffy...some more scratched look i think would have helped here...
but then again on the bare metalwork, the scratched look is next to perfect...

Thanks very much. The large chip on the combat shield is mithril silver, it just looks white in the picture.

Am thinking of dirtying up the marines as well now, though mainly on the lower legs.

Forgot to say thanks for all the great comments between posts.

yeah with that sponge methode it will be cool to see dirtied up marines!

Some painting, i kinda dropped him so his gun fell off. I have yet to do the detailing although the joints will remain black as that's How i like 'em. This guy took forever to paint and apart from the helmet and chest i am not entirely happy.

I have included a close up just to show how messily painted it truly is. The LED daylight bulb has kinda neutralised the orange shading, so you will have to trust me when i say it is a nice warm yellow IRL.

the white is really bright and crisp...with some added details he will be very good!

oh so fragile man is... will you pin the hand with the boltgun?

Yeah think so, dont want 'bloom' from super glue ruining the paintjob. Will be tricky though lol.

i assuming as much... pinning is still nothing i feel comfortable with... it is something very similar as a visit to the dentist... needed but i don´t get a kick out of it

Wow! Missed a lot of cool stuff since I visited last! Sternguard are fantastic and look even better with a slap of paint!

Keep up the great work bud!

Cain

He looks great, even minus his hand. The blending looks very smooth indeed. I hope he comes through the surgery ok. The other option is to give him a hook like a pirate?

Great colour scheme mate , I really like him , lots of depth .

Great job on the paint, messy (in your mind) or not he looks awesome! the colour is great!

This is a really cool colour sheme! : O I think these models look great so far! : )

A hook would be pretty Awesome Mordain, though an improbably large underslung Holocaust canon is a bit more 40k.

Thanks for all the great comments guys! Especially for the complements on the scheme.

So i reatached the Improbably large underslung holocaust canon.

He's largely finished, just need to do some basing. Also the bullets need to be painted gold. The chipped black looks a little weird after the auto-adjustment but i am fairly happy with it irl.




Once it warms up and isnt raining i'll prime the last of the dreadnought bits and finish that up.

Then i may do some more modelling, think it is about time i finished my leg project. I just need to do the feet and the knee tube bits behind the knee guard. Then i am looking to cast them as i dont like the default 'squat lunge' the static marines have.

Failing that i will just assemble my 'Dynamic' tactical squad. This is the one that will utilise the running legs from the battleforce assault marines and forgeworld kits. As i am starting to notice that alot of my reticence in painting comes from not actually assembling stuff. Looks at the rhino and razorback kits.

Oh and anyone know where i put my librarian? Cant seem to find him lol.

That one is looking really good

The shadows on the yellow are lovely! Reddish brown with some black, I like complex shadows...
