So here's a test model for a death company unit led by Astorath the Grim. The reason for the coloring is behind Astorath's fluff, he would kill any death company that would become too crazed by the black rage. So this would be a unit of death company that he killed before they got too crazed. Enjoy.

Thanks! Its actually Astronomican Grey which gives it a slight blue tint when it dries, so that gives it a kinda ghostly look I guess, should have a second one finished by tonight I'll post him up.

 

[Raurik]

Thanks Rot, and those bases are just the result of the washing : P I'll base them properly once i get the full 10 man squad done.

Here's the second marine I finished a little while ago.

Mold lines fixed, my buddy lent me his 'mold line remover' and it worked real nicely, gotta pick one up lol, thanks for pointing it out heh

On a side note I'll probably finish 5 of these guys than take a break and work on Astorath then finish off the squad.

 

[Raurik]

Hey all, sorry I have'nt been posting up, I haven't been painting much since classes started but I've been cleaning up the models a bit, when I get a chance I'll paint up Astorath and the remaining 5 death company models.

 

[Raurik]

What it was, was a like curved blade thing with a handle, idk its weird but it was easier than filing it down heh

 

[Raurik]

Finally got some free time tomorrow so im gonna start painting the Death Company Dreadnought, pretty excited for this one hopefully I can do him justice heh post pics tomorrow!

 

[Raurik]

Alrighty so football got the best of me today (Go Fins! ) but the Dread is mostly done, will definitely have pics tomorrow when I get back from class.

 

[Raurik]

Alright so I lied, managed to get some decent lighting thanks to some oddly placed lights :laugh:

Here's the Death Company Dread with two blood talons (slightly converted)

Those blood talons are fantastic. What did you use for them?

They're just made from regular Dread CCW's (used the venerable dread set's and had a spare metal furioso which i used the whore right arm) and just attached the blades of some WHFB goblin swords to the fingers. I liked how they came out better than the old Wolves dreadnought claws.

 

[Raurik]

Just doing some planning for Astorath, will most likely keep his scheme traditional red with black wings, will hopefully get time to start him up over the week/weekend

 

[Raurik]

Just finished up a banner quick for the Dread, thinking of what I should put on the banner... Any suggestions? :laugh:

Also, here's my librarian dread conversion(ish) and paint job, the banner here is just a placeholder I made outta GS till I get a real one.

EDIT: Fixed dead link

 

[Raurik]

Fixed the broken link (I think?) I'll have Astorath done by the weekend hopefully heh.

 

[Raurik]

Astorath is done, if I find a good light to take the pic in I'll post tonight, if not he'll be up tomorrow

 

[Raurik]

@Isarofeen: its just a small file or blade that takes off the crease left by the mold when the pieces of the model are made.

Well here's Astorath, It was very difficult to get a decent picture due to his dark color without it seeming either too glossy or too flat, so here's the best I could do with my phone camera XD

And the Squad

I was a little reluctant to post the pics because it doesn't show much of the detailing off but I figured you guys wanted to see the finished squad Enjoy!
