StoneMonk Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thank you sir! the skin tone has come out better than expected. Went with a real dark undertone and purple wash, then drybrush with a medium brown/orange tone...still deciding on final highlight being more orange or more yellow... The blue worked out better than expected, still gotta up my freehand game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMonk Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Got 5 hours in last night to finish the base and a few bibs and bobs on he model in order to enter my first painting contest, the @Mengel Miniatures Seasons of War. Totally missed @Vincent Venturella PMP large model voting by a day ugh. ill let Tyler post my photo(s) for the completed model before I post them here. But the last two days have been all about the base and I will show that. the base also reveals where the Ogornids hail from - the Endless Desert! Not a ploy to gain Tyler's favor, but a logical place for a Frostlord trying to escape the everwinter and run into some space bugs. shattered dominion bits, wood/poly filler, playground sand sprinkle, crackle paste (didn't have time for it to set), Orruk head. Painted it all bone, base color details and weathering of colors, flesh wash from secret weapon, drybrush terminates stone, retouch colors, army painter and warlord grass tufts, woodland scenic lichen.

thediceabide Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Quick question, what kind of tufts are those that seem extra bushy? I've been looking for something like this for ages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those tufts are from warlord games. Can't remember name off hand but will post list soon. Winter tufts or something like that. A hint of purple in them.

Dez Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Are you going to be putting a backrest for the Ogres? At the moment it looks a bit precarious, as if they'll fall off....or worse, they are trying to mate with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji8] I stripped the backs down because there will be a lot going on with the Carnifex arms. Having more jaggy bits up high felt odd. But adding a backrest could be good. Another place to drape clothe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMonk Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I can't believe the Carnifex fit on a Mournfang base! Yeah they come with 60mm round, they sorta fit on the 90x52 but moving to a 105x70 may be more comfy. There a lot of open space underneath so I'm hesitant to go bigger as it could feel more empty.

AGPO Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Love your work mate, and I'm a real fan of the Mortal Realms podcasts too. I love the mounts, the nids work very well as AoS Beasts. If I could make one suggestion it would be to move the riders further forward, maybe by removing the middle row of spines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 are you going to put chains or like to make the rider hold on to and control the beast? I think that would help anchor him a little to his mount. Cool idea, cant wait to see how he turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The less experienced and wear legged ogors may get some chains. i magnetize the riders so chains would be too permanent for me but the point is well taken.

Yeah, I see that point. Makes it problematic indeed. Perhaps some form of stiffer handle would work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean on the mournfang/Carnifex? I definitely forced some limitations to try and feel like mournfang and limit how high up they sat. Mournfang riders sit a bit lower, but I definitely wanted them shorter than the riders of thundertusk/Haruspex, which they are shorter than the guy on stonehorn/Tervigon. Moving them higher on the carapace didn't feel right. Where they are at now feels pretty far back, but I think was best option for these mounts given how much bigger they are than mournfang. this was by far the hardest one to get right and while I'm happy with them, wish there was a Tyranid of slightly smaller stature, with the same build.

StoneMonk Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Latest pic after a massive assembly night. I think almost everything is in its most complete sub assemblies. Weapons still need sculpting. Some build on thundertusk/Haruspex seats. More detail pics soon. Waiting on some Hormagaunts as Frost Sabres. Back: Dread Maw-Loc, Thunder-spex. Middle: Mourn-ifex, Stone-ifex, Ironguts. Front: Hunter, Butcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMonk Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I so wanted to figure out how to have him exploding out of the sands...but I don't know if I have the time, and I've only seen a 1 maybe 2 done the way I would like. I will likely settle on him slithering out of the sands, with sand kicking out to show motion. Also need to tie him into the army, as more than just a tyranid. Thinking of adding an Ogor on the base, summoning it through some means of magic or sensor or drums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Great looking conversions. I have a whole swag of mournfang conversions riding various WHFB monsters but never bothered with a one off Nid as I've always thought of them as 40K only. A whole themed army looks good though.

Double Misfire Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Blimey, I hadn't realised scale creep had caught up with the carnifex in such a way, they look like rippers! Great stuff, I especially like the running poses you've got the carnifexes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
