Haemonculus #2 WIP 2

I did a little more work tonight.  The stitching looks a lot better in person, but by looking at the pictures I'll have to clean it up tomorrow.  The metallics need to be highlighted.  The grey highlight on the apron will need one more highlight of a lighter grey because its looking too flat right now.

I also started prepping the Wracks.  Whilst doing so I noticed one of them was missing about a two millimeter chunk out of the right ankle.  I phoned GW up and they're sending me out another box of Wracks.  GW's customer service is second to none.  I've had them do this for me before when I bought a Lightning Claw Wolf Guard and it showed up without a backpack in the blister.  Hopefully, I'll be able to green stuff the ankle and then I'll have ten Wracks instead of only five.  Overall, I'm pleased with Finecast.  Once GW gets its quality control issues down I think people will forget all about metals.  That is, if the internet can get over its nerd rage and move on with their lives.  Hey, if I(being someone that has actually spent money on Finecast as opposed to the thousands of others out there raging against it without ever having spent a dime) can hobby along without hissing and spitting then so can everyone else.  Fear is the mind killer.

Haemonculus #2 WIP

Did a little work on my finecast Haemy so I figured I'd post a few pics.  I think I screwed his head up a bit.  Well, a couple screw ups.  I based the Haemy's skin with Tallarn Flesh along with the skin cloak when I should have used Astronomicon Grey or Dheneb Stone.  Then I over compensated with Rotting Flesh and then Dead White.  So...its thick and generally crappy looking, but oh well.  I like how everything else is coming out so I doubt I'll strip it.  At least, not until I feel that my skills have gone up a level.

On an unrelated note, I'm currently watching Event Horizon.  Good movie.  I get some weird looks when I say this, but...I think its the closest we'll ever get to a good 40K movie.  You just have to use your imagination a little bit.  Think of the Event Horizon as a Rogue Trader ship lost in the warp for a while.  Not that big of a stretch since I think Paul W.S. Anderson used 40K as a bit of "inspiration" when he wrote it.  He is a Brit after all.

Haemonculus WIP

I still have plenty of work to do on him, but I'm getting there.  He's going to be rebased on one of the Bone Fields once he's painted up.  Well, maybe.  I'll have to see how easy thats going to be with the worms near his feet.  This is the Urien Rakarth model, but I don't think I'll ever run him as Urien.  More likely an Ancient Haemi or normal Haemi.

Skin is the New Black 12/21

Fallout: New Vegas Dead Money is queued up on XBL, but it cycles endlessly through a load screen when I A button that obstinant executable.  This has forced me to paint and make my own photo box out of duct tape and foam board from a painter's palette.  Its so weird not painting space marines.

Clap your hands or cover your mouths because all orifices can be made to know suffering...

More DE wip pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tallarn Flesh basecoat for refurbished flesh and  Dheneb Stone for actual flesh.

I still haven no idea what color I'm going to make the bodysuit.  Possibly blue.  Really just working on my gold.  Scorched Brown/Shining Gold mix to pure shining gold to burnished gold to burnished gold/mythril silver mix.  Consecutive Gryphonne Sepia washes followed by leviathan purple painted into the recesses.

Still my first warrior squad...

Foam board

Duct tape.

Dark Eldar Kabalite Warrior Test Mini

I'm attempting to do the Kabal of the Flayed Skull.  So far I own a box of warriors, a box of Hellions, a Raider, an Archon, and Urien Rakarth.(just a counts as Haemonculus because I'm not fond of the character's rules)  I haven't done any of the detailing yet.  Just trying to nail my red.  The Rakarth pics are just there in case anyone was interested in seeing the model.  Its definitely one of my favorite sculpts.
