Shadowwolf's Stuff

[Shadowwolf]

Well, as I said they're only haöf-done. I'm going to add bone to hooves and teeth and green ink to most details.

Anyway, someone made it out of painting today! :-) Thanks for the support and encouragement during this project! You deserve some nice pics!





And some swarm pics for the upcoming apocalypse! Enjoy!

That is awesome. I love how it is coming out of the road.

Awesome conversion!

[Grythic]

Wow, that came out really well. Im surprised how well the liopleurodon head works on it.

What've you got going on where the back legs of the phant would have been? Looks like some sort of birthing thing.

That's his transport sacs. :-) Fluffwise he lets smaller tyranids tag along inside the rear parts of his body. Not my best sculpt ever, though... :/

Could use as that armor cast creature with it's transport rule if in an official battle. Else love that viragon, came out awesome. Have to say though, the arm's are a little weak, blan and too simple for my taste on something so large that will get alot of admirers.

You hit me right in the soft spot there :-P I can't really say I'm a good sculptor. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate honest criticism and agree with everything you say, but can't really (in this time frame) produce a better result :-P I'd have loved to be able to make the arms as detailed as the Hierophant's but for a first time freeform sculpt I keep trying to convince myself it's good enough :-P

Needless to say; the Gaunt horde kinda did a number on the patience as well ;-)

I bet. Hey if you ever need help with arms, I have been getting pretty good at it. Finishing up my flyrants so that I can put the webbing on here soon. Though like you I'm just starting out with sculpting. Sure I've mastered adding little details to sockets to cover up seems and attaching mandibles to the sides of heads, but full on sculpts, I'm in the same boat. Just would have liked to see this big baddy really blow the other armies out of the water. But perhaps next time, can always hack them off and redo them when you have more time.

That's why I always pin, never glue such things ;-) Whole thing is dismountable, comes into 6 pieces for easy transport and eventual weapon exchange ;-)

The head just makes it, I can imagine it swallowing guardsmen whole without even trying!

Guardsmen? Leman Russes!

Did my first attempt ever last night with my T-fex, I'm happyish how it turned out....

Ha! Funny you should mention that! I actually lowered the saturation of one of the gaunts' blue shell in that picture, because it was all too light blue. You can easily spot him in the one above. That is my very first test gaunt, and while the contrast between the models is not very noticable IRL, it is a sore poke in the eye on camera

And 2nd day of chrstmas will see him munch his way across an apocalypse battlefield! Then we'll see how much he can swallow! If you like, I'll take some pics.

Not much has happened on the nid front, but hiveguard alpha kick-started my creativity again by mailing me some legs and arms I needed for my looted tyrant guards. They've been lying around, missing rending claws and legs, for a long time but now my tyrant can finally get fimself some decent back-up!

It's nice to have such an easy color scheme ^^
