Arael Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) *OLDER PHOTOS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN, NEW ONE ARE ON PAGE 2* " Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god, Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. [Points to sword]This you can trust." And sooooooo another blog It's been a long time since I want to convert my own free people and now I 've got the right inspiration! I want a classic of fantasy the good barbarian! Here are the first 3 member ( I'm thinking when I ve finished the bases conversion for every model to add fur boots to all of them) Comments and critics welcomed.

Uveron Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 They Look great! Maybe a touch of green stuff on the edges of the firs would help make them look more apart of the model. The Edges are kinda sharp. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FractalRain Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 These look spectacular! Would you might sharing how you will use them, i.e. what Free People unit these represent; suspect a Stormcast? Also, I can see you used the Kairic Acolyte bodies, but where did you get the heads? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Hi !tnk for ur appreciation! The heads come from the space wolves grey hunters. About how I will use them rulewise I think they will be vulkite berserker, lorewise they are free people. 1 hour ago, Kramer said: Those Acalytes just keep on giving I use them as a base too, fantastic models.

Arael Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Update! As suggested by @Uveron I have resculpted the edge of the ventral fur, and as I 've sad i've started doing the boots! As always C&C are welcomed ^^ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arael Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Some more friend with boots and fur resculpted In this last one I still have to do boots and the fur loincloth but I have redone the shoulder where the fur before seem like it was rigid and straight (u can see the difference in the second post) C&c welcomed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uveron Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 They are starting to look Very Cool! I do have one other critical observation. (and this one may be a hard to fix). A number of the models with 'shoulder pads' have straps modeled showing how it is 'secured' to the torso, Others do not. You may try and make something that looks like rope with green stuff and use that. But it is the final missing detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking great! Just a quick tip before you undercoat, some of the hammersurfaces have left over mould edges. You know the little points that attached them to the sprue. See you pictures above. Quick fix with great improvement is to file them away. See also the left arm of the long haired warrior.

Pigbones Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm curious where your patches of fur came from? Also, what shields were you planning on giving to them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davariel Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Wonderful conversions you've got here, full of character but still very cohesive as an army. Plus it's always awesome to see someone doing a human army other than Renaissance Germans (that's one area the AoS model line really doesn't live up to its background)! Looking forward to seeing the finished result 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, they would both fit well enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The posing is really great. Only thing I can think off, and that's if you push me, is that the hammer might be a tad large. But it also gives it a certain brutal feel to it. So it's personal flavour I guess. But all the greenstuff work looks really good. Think the remaking will be invisible after the first coat of paint. Really great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
