Very amazing details! Very tallented!

Simply beautiful.

wow........just awesome dude.

Bloody hell Pyriel! that looks even more amazing than the last helmet! honest dude you need to do everything in your power to get these latest sculpts into production, you have just blown open the level of conversion parts we usually see, the details and ideas are totally brilliant and if i may be so bold, what you've done is take things some of us want to do ourselves or see on our models and you have bought the baroque beauty to life! i've known you for a while now and you still amaze me and I still have to finish by just saying!

THANK YOU! :-) for keeping the dream alive!

That helmet looks soviet, probably the gas mask...

The only way to describe that helmet is "brutal". Very nicely done Pyriel.

I do hope all of the stuff in this thread makes it to a shop sooner or later!

And if it is in resin too - so much the better!

I hope all of these things make it into the CH store ASAP the sooner the better keep up the great work

That was the 'shop' I was talking about...

Lol.

Really, nothing? Come on guys!TBH: chapterhouse dosnt seem to have much stuff. I mean everything there is top notch, but there just isnt much there. Im glad you are rectifying this problem with these amazing sculpts. By any chance are you taking suggestions? I don't think so.

This is all so great. Keep it up!

I do love that helmet. Actually, CH has come out with a good variety of marine helmets that I've really loved. Don't know if pyriel was responsible for those, but they've been welcome additions to my marine army.

Yup. All mine.

Why not. Shoot!

I think a cat in a santa hat would sell fast! ...... just an idea you don't have to use it........ but if you do :-)

Shoot? No! I talk!
I was just thinking about the kinds of thing I would sculpt/buy/if I had your skill and came up with:
1. A dragon style head - look good with AL and salamander and black dragons.
2. A wolf helmet- not like what GW does, more along the lines of real wolves, would be awesome.
Probably crap ideas but mehh.

Beautiful sculpts! I'd be worried about the green stuff drying before I even got to half that level of detail lol

1. A dragon style head - look good with AL and salamander and black dragons.

Well, that´s what I did (previous page) so guess that´s 50% of your ideas done right there

I can feel great things stirring in the warp for 2014 from you my friend!

Oh things are stirring alright. Maybe not exactly what you might expect though.

Absolutely exquisite detail

@ Pyriel - First off, that some insane skill you have there. I was wondering though, what exactly do you use as a base and tools to build upon when sculpting? Not that I could ever emulate your own sculpts, but I've always wanted to give it a go.

Oh, and seeing as you seem to be willing to take in potential ideas for sculpts - I'd love to see Chapterhouse do a helmet based along the lines of the cover of 'Scorched Earth'. Whilst I'm in awe of the dragon helm on the last page, I have to say that, IMHO, it's too 'Predator' like for use in a Salamanders army. Hence, my ten-penneth would be to humbly suggest this as a next sculpt:



Keep up the awesome work!

Awesome work - if these are castable I bet they would sell well to both Chaos marine players & pre-Heresy players.
The terminator armour is also very cool.
Keep up the good work & thanks for sharing your work.

A scalpel and a small pocket knife. Thats it.

@Pyriel - Wow, that's it? I was expecting all kinds of sorcery...

Do you build the greenstuff around anything - like a ball bearing or a cured ball of GS? Sincere apologies for pestering you, but I'm curious as to how such superb results can be achieved with GS - like I say, I'm only just getting the hang of sculpting basic capes and icons.

@Pyriel - Wow, that's it? I was expecting all kinds of sorcery...

Yup. Just extremely annoying that some arrogant "idiots" think that my sculpts like these should be done in a few hours and that I´m worthless.

Yes I do.
And for capes do use a fine metallic mesh that you shape into a proper form and then add a thin layer of green on, after curing you basically have your cape, just some filling and smoothing to do.
Second hint, never "cut" green while it is still soft, this is the biggest beginner mistake and makes for soft, "melted" edges.




One of the big-collar fronts that I did that goes with that segmented helmet. Was meant to come perforated (the collar) to make it look like a medieval knight visor (full of holes to look out from) but casting made that an impossibility.
Thus it´s a sort of like it or not visuals with an over protective collar but you could always drill small holes in it or file it down if you dont like it.
That is IF it goes into sales, I still havent decided on that one.

That one is AWESOME!

I love all of the 'high collar' looking models.

MK8 "Errant" Power Armor is my all time favorite mark, and I'd seriously build an entire army with it if GW and/or FW would just finally release a proper full version of it...

PLEASE tell me that one's going on sale soon?

Please?

This is amazing stuff pyriel-, I really hope it goes to sale.

WOW seriously impressed.

Holy cow. How do you do that thing? Some sort of grey greenstuff? okay, you use gs but how? and to what effekt... absolutely crazy man.
