update on my conversions (with pics)

first off i have to say i love the technical paint blood for the blood god from gw... it really looks good on these minis. i only got the flesh done on these two, will add pics when finished first time using green stuff, I'm no sculpter (wish the eye woulda bin better but i think i can fix it with the paint job) but i like the way these came out so far for my coven army








the newer talos, think i did a better job then the last one i posted. this is the color scheme i will put on my raider and venom also.

That is some of the most beautiful fleshcrafting I've ever seen.

wow thx man, iv spent a lot of time painting up my army since I'm just getting back into the game. i really want a good looking army because i know i will be losing a lot so at least il look good while doing it.

I can only add to what Lord Alino sad, that is some really nice crafting ;-) and the painting looks also really good. I like that the heamonculi construct in the front of the raider looks as if it is swimming...

And your paint job on the Talos is also really nice. Is it just dry brushing?

Thx again. Ya its all dry brushing an laying washes. I use 3 different reds to get the blend (always use at least 3 diff shades of a color to get nice blends)  I use 4 colors an I ink at two different times for the skin. Normally I start with the skin cuz it's the messiest. Then I re paint anything I got paint on that needs to b black. I then do my reds, then my metals, then greens then I add gloss to the green and blood to whatever.  When I dry brush I use a brush with thick bristles and small enough for the job. I put the paint on the brush then spin it around on my pallet until just about all the paint is off before I actually hit on the model. Takes a while but better to slowly build up the shades u want then botching it an starting all over. And for the blood on the raider venom an talos I use blood for the blood god that's it. Really glob it on and it will stay dark red instead of like a pink if u don't use enough an it drys to look super wet an narly

An alternative for blood is tamiya clear red - build it up in a couple of layers one as it is and one mixed with black wash - the way it dries you can stipple it when partially dry to create a really lumpy, gory effect.

Can only repeat the love for the gory skin, fantastic stuff!

so do you guys think i should continue with these conversions? because i am making a coven army it might look a lil weird when i start my kabal but I'm really diggn them... i got some tyranid players that are giving my some scything talons for my next conversions. i plan on doing something like this (one of the many references for conversions i found dunno who originated it)

Is that a giant eye in the cockpit? Wicked.

As for the sails - yes yes yes.

And with the raider - It looks cool so yeah, I'm in.

i figured since the dark eldar enslave every known species as it is a giant eye or bids parts wouldn't be a stretch to make sentient vehicles

Wow...it´s disgusting and fascinating...I love it!

How did you make the flesh? with green stuff?

Wow, I really like the gondolier! Hah, great idea that I have to steal ;-)

I find them extremely repulsive and borderline nauseating.... So mission accomplished, I suppose

ya its green stuff

still hoping to get some scything talons
