Soulsmith Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Brutal. Good work buddy. I am interested in making a megaboss with a more dramatic pose, don't suppose you have ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 For a Megaboss, I'm not sure. The model has that plate on the top/back which prevents for easy shift of arms. I like the model tho, I think that pose is hella dynamic. I have converted a lot of models previous years to keep that pose. Perhaps you could change the axe from one arm to the left and tilt it forward to make that "Charge" pose. Use Godrakks head with that cool beard thing and maybe use a dagger in the opposite hand? @Soulsmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thats a neat idea mate. Might sub it for a spear instead, like the big mawkrusha boss one. Gets the juices flowing anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 My apartment sucks in forms of light and I am a starving artist/student soooooo... sorry The Yellow light enhanced the yellow a little, but I tried to make it not too far off. Originally I had his armor being rusty, but that didn't work so I changed it to black. I left one shoulder pad copper that I will weather with blueish green tones. I am trying to find the spare weapons I magnatized but they seem to have packed the suitcase and left. Either way, here is my Megaboss/Gordrakk on Maw Crusha. He got about an hours work tonight. mostly did some minor highlights on the black and major highlights on the purple bones. I hope y'all like him. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohojoe Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Really liking the purple tones, very impressive mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Amazing! Been looking forward to seeing this guy completed! There is just so much to look at! The crusher is stunning and the armour of the boss is fantastic.One small bit of constructive feedback that caught my eye...could be the angle but the tuft between the rocks looks quite squashed up to me and the shape perhaps a bit unnatural.

Turragor Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Like the muted tones on rider contrasted with bright mount! Bit like my beastclaw idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 @Turragor Thanks man! Yeah changing the armor on him was well worth it. I just posted in the 1k army blog, but here are the same pics: 1000pts Ironjawz 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHappyTime Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Posted in the 1K thread, then noticed you updated your own post instead. I think the yellow is nailed down on both these, and the Mawcrusha (which I dig, since I bleed purple and gold as its my alma mater's colors). The Green in greenskin though, it seems kind of muted. I think you got it right on the Warchanter, but the rest of the army doesn't have the pop. I actually get more of a Imperial Fists feel than an Orcs feel (which is why I'm not really a fan of Ironjawz in the first place) As far as painting quality goes though, they're awesome!

As for the skin, I am in a complete opposite with you. I changed a few orcs from the poppy green to a more muted one. I like to contrast of the two qualities rather than getting too much "lego" feel. I was super close to gluing some 40k backpacks on them, but that would have just made them completely indistinguishable from the real Space Marines.

As I said in the 1K thread, I have kept my greenskins the classic look, because I run a muted colour scheme. That skin with yellow armour would be like old school 40k orks (bluergh). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have a few of those poppy green skin tones on my brown/black clothing rusty armor greenskinz. It looks so much better on those than it did on the Ironjawz! You're right, I too think that contrast is very important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysandestolpe Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ugh, have been super busy with school and commissions so been bad at updating any of my threads. Here are some new units and work on Megaboss on Maw-Krusha: Make Gore-Gruntas great... I could not deal with the ugly Gruntas, so I sculpted some pig snouts instead. It's not my best work but I did want to keep them simple to have them blend with the minis and not become the focal point either. Forgive me for my crappy non-cropped image presentation, I'm burning the candle at both ends and want to make sure I give you guys some updates (for those who follow me). For those who do not, I hope you like it. Ardboyz: Megaboss on Maw-krusha (When will he ever be done? I don't know.... never?) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysandestolpe Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 New Megaboss conversion in between working on commission: I wanted to repose him a little, turned out harder than I thought. A lot of greenstuff work was required to make this work. Still need the outer layer of sculpting muscles. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus of Paint Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I like how you took the Megaboss' very openly aggressive pose and closed it a lot whilst maintaining that threatening presence - usually pose conversions involve the opposite! (going from closed to open physical expression). Only teeny suggestion I have is the angle of the axe hand - it might work better turned so the axe handle is pointing further up than sideways? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
