Just wanted to gt people's opinions, I'm planning on adding a khorne icon/trophy rack to by entry and can't decide which one, what do you guys think?





Also I really like where the looted hive tyrant it going, the warrior head on he tail is a nice touch

Personally, Id go with the first one. I think it looks more impressive, plus SM helms I think make better trophies. Can bring more color to your model as well!

And thanks for the complement on the Tyrant- The Warrior head is on there because I wasnt given a tail for him- so I built one! Part of one of the guns for the tail, then the head as the ridge at the end of it. Shortly after doing all that my friend walks up to me with the actual tail in his hands. Seems he just found it

i cant say as i am a judge!

i think the necron head is a bit useless... i don´t think necrons could be scared by using one of their own slain...tho the KG head is a suitable trophy if there ever was one... also the tau head! i bet they wet their pants sooner than they thought^^

and...


the hero... captain victory...













note... there is no blue in the scheme for this captain... i know it rather makes this captian look like a UK version of the US Agent... but since queen victoria the great is still after 40 millenia in deep mourning over her late husband... and his favorite color was blue... all blue was banished from usage for the whole empire... so cap looks like this... the model is by the way pre wash... so may the lords help me for the next steps...


cheers, vik

Very nice vik-tory! love the color choice and like how you did the stripes definatly not overdone! ( plust I think the black suits 40k more than a blue suit)

Neat!

As a huge Captain America fan, lemme say that Cap. V is AWESOME!

thanks mates... greatly apreciated!... hopefully i get around to work today some more on cap

Quick query, for final shot do you want single image, series of pics, or a composite shot?

good question, i didnt really think about it. A single shot of a Wip, and Final and if you wanna do composite for all the angles that be great.

Now Wip... do you want the full build pre-primer? I may not be able to meet that due to lost pictures

The Necron trophy on a Champion's rack isn't to strike fear into the 'hearts' of Necrons, it's to show all his buddies that he kicked Necron butt.

There is a UK version of Captain America. His name is... how so very original... Union Jack. Spoiler because the pic is huge and I didn't want to junk up the thread.



No update to share, buried on my Terrain project this weekend, I'll be back w/ more Hero stuff later.

No problem, just one to prove you made it. Doesnt mattter the stage, as long it is pre paint. Primer is fine.

sounds good mate!

Amazingly, I'm pretty much done with my hero (and base). Have some finishing touches to do which I'll aim to complete tomorrow when there's some daylight (hopefully), although rain is forecast...

Once this is done I'll take some final photos to go with the WIPs - have a pop-up lightbox that will finally see some use, rather than the usual green cutting mat background

at skalk... yeah i know of union jack... if i was a better painter... for such a model...i would need a new sort of model i think... with cadians and catachan bitz i think it isn´t possible...?

My post was generally ignored, so I'll quote it to bring it here, together with a query.

My finished model. It's taken a couple of days that I shouldn't have spent on it, but I suppose it was worth it. I really don't have anymore time to spare, I hope you like it. More images in my gallery (front, side, back). They're located here
This is the WIP

I hope you like it! I enjoyed building and painting it, and I suppose that's what matters the most.

And 'cuz of this...

Will my quoted post be enough for a final submission since it directs you to my gallery for more pictures?

So, didn't get a chance to do anything today - broken toilet cistern took precedence, and constant rain scuppered any hopes of good daylight photos.

As a teaser though, here's a pre-touched up image...


Want to do some more on the banner and some tidying up of the armour. Possibly also some OSL on the power fist

@ Know no pear: I didn't respond to the images cuz i don't want to give my opponents even more of an edge, specially when they do a good job like that one...

@ Ruglud... nah... its done man Don't do OSL or the banner...

Seriously though... yeah, i think some OSL might do it... Maybe I should try some too... but never done that before, and really wouldn't even know where to begin...

@know no pear - nice, looks like he's enjoying him self in all that gore

@Maus - only some minor tweeks needed now... Problem I have with OSL is I've also never attempted it before. Having said that I experimented with NMM on the gold - pretty happy withthe results for a first time so maybe OSL is achievable?

The gold is NMM? Wow!

Very well done, and at Know no Pear, your submission is perfect. Thank you all the work here is amazing.

woot, need more paint and super glue...

probably a week until I get any more work done on my entry... Not that I can decide wether to enter the herald I've finished modeling or the one I'm still working on...

Well then, we'll see which looks best when they're both done!

Painting them both at the same time!

Ah, that makes me feel better. Thanks man, although I suppose this is a competition, it's all friendly, right?

Alright, thanks!

Hey guys! how is the work coming along?

Swimmingly!









Got to do a bit more work on him, and I need to finish his remaining arms and base. Almost done though!

that looks great! love the grots.

I'd love to enter if the options still open?
it would be a decent motivational tool to get cracking on my army.
