Oneyah Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 This looks fantastic, really fits in with the rest of your army, red and blue looks excellent in the axe, will this be repeated on the head and shield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield yes. Helmet no. Helmet will be getting more depth and highlights added to create a golden spot in the middle that I hope will draw the eye. I’ve used the helm before in the army on a liche priest and I ended up really liking how simple but effective it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TristanGray Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Started laying down the first few spooky layers and washes onto my Engine Of Souls. I have a probably too time consuming method for my ghostly magic clouds. Base coat of Ulthuan Grey Wash of watered down Beil-tan Green Dry brush of Ulthuan Grey Wash of watered down Nihilakh Oxcide Dry brush of Ulthuan Grey. I’ll also target some of the deepest recesses and speckling with a mix of Beil-Tan green and black wash. still need to do the final dry brush and recess shading on the ghostly bits here. It’s coming along! I’m going to try and do some glazing with purple to bring out all the robes. Hope I can blend/fade those into the spirits. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit a bit of a painting road block but I’ve been able to get some work done, little by little, over the last few weeks. Here are a couple terrible pictures: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide contents “Things I Didn’t Know Existed for 400 Alex” Well that’s rad. I’d really like to figure out a good way to do the horse helmets like that. Think it would give a great differentiation from the deathrattle horses. ————————— Decided that some hobby was better than no hobby and worked on some wings for a fun future project. Making my own Settra conversion where he’s on a flying chariot being pulled by a massive carrion. Filed, drilled, scraped and used a hot pin to cut up and puncture the fins. Pleased with the result. Really happy with the way the hot pin pulled up the plastic to give the holes a lip, so it seems more like fabric. Want to smooth out some of the transitions with some fine grit sand paper next before moving onto the chariot itself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TristanGray Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Speaking of that carrion here’s a wip I did up. Going to try and extend the neck and make the wings and body a lot more dead and covered in wrappings. Also getting dangerously close to finishing that Mortis Engine / Casket Of Souls up! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added a longer neck and I think that makes it even better. Now im working on putting holes into the wings to add some exposed bone for more of an undead look. After that I’m going to work on the head/neck positioning. I want to get that so it has a bit less pull to the side, but keeps the sense of movement This project is me trying to push myself and try some new things, namely trying out green stuff for the first time! I’ve bought it over the years but I’ve never ended up using it for one reason or another. Pretty excited and nervous for it. Going to be green stuffing feathers and covering up the gap between the neck and body. Also doing some wrappings for the wings. I don’t think any of it will be especially challenging, but first time for anything is always a bit nerve wracking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TristanGray Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Put in a bunch of work lately and my Exalted Tomb King is starting to come together. My big bird got a long neck attached to it from the Lord of Change along with a few choice bits from several Tomb Kings kits. Most notably the back armour plates from the Necropolis Knights/Sepulchral Stalkers. It was so nice to find a good use for those! Some of my favourite pieces from the TK range that are very difficult to use in other places. This was also my first foray into the wide world of green stuff. While a bit scary off the top it ended up going pretty well! I’ll do things a bit differently in the future(actually watch a couple videos on it might help!) but I’m pleased with the results! More updates incoming. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TristanGray Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 After I got the bird together I decided to work on my base. I knew I wanted something considerable, and with the release of the Azyrite Ruins it was a pretty easy decision to include one of those. I tried to find the positioning of the boat and the vulture in relation to the ruins and came up with something that worked. Oddly when I went to go try it again after I found a better spot for the bird. Happy accidents are the best. After I got the position down I checked out the great Paint Picker app that guy named Aaron Tunney built. If you haven’t heard about it yet I highly recommend it. With my army having a lot of teal, purple, gold and bone to it I wanted something that would compliment it well. The app generates the complimentary colours for what you’re working with and it spit out a nice emerald green for me. I’m really pleased with the result and think that the green was a solid addition to the pallet. I’m going to paint up the rest of my ruins to match! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to convert up a few of the endless spells for my army when I figure out what one's I'm going to use. Cogs seem like the club house leader. Just have to figure out how to best Tomb King them! 20 hours ago, ManyBothans said: awesome work...i ran out of likes today just looking at your stuff I really... really love the "Soul Engine" Cheers, MB Thanks MB!

ManyBothans Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 @TristanGray - Cool thanks, i look fwd to it. I was wondering if the Eidolon model could be converted and used as a mummy/tomb king figure with that cape of his modeled/painted up like a huge sandstorm type cape idea ...?!...
