Traitor's Rage - a Traitor Guard blog/plog

Cheers, thanks for the upload. I take it this stuff is a bit like the fine gravel and the like, just white?

its like really fine sugar smile

got a couple Iron Warriors and an Iron Warriors themed Melta-Servitor based on a Ogre Kingdoms model done, photos to follow shortly!  

[DarkElf27]

Love the minis, both the modeling and the painting. I'm finding it hard to pick on any details, there doesn't seem to be much to critique!

Like others have mentioned, the bases could use some work. I know Dark Art Miniatures sells rocky bases, maybe if you took some of those, attached some crystals, and dusted the whole thing with snow, it would add some depth to the bases.

thanks smile gonna put my Iron Warriors up tonight too

and as for the base, it was done purely as a test to see how the snow worked and to show mac. when i finally get ahold of good fine grey gravel that will be the majority of each base, plus crystals, and a light scatter of snow (the ammount on the test peice would probs do snow for 6 models, just lightly patched about)

sorry for the delay in getting these up. my gravel arrived biggrin its Woodland Scenics; "Coarse Cinders" and it is exactly what i was after

so, the promised photos. first up I've got the first batch of Iron Warriors painted and based:




then a Praetorian Servitor (to join the techpriest i'll be getting next). His multi Melta is an old metal peice from the original LR Crusader kits, the head is Green Stuff with an IG Tank Lamp pushed into it





and finally, 3 of my fav Traitors so far (incl. the Psyker) all based up ninja

While I find the sentinel leg a bit oversized and out of place, not to mention the gut plate is a bit bland compared to the rest of the model, the rest of it is.. burning_eyes Nice nice nice! Give yourself a cigar if you are of the smoking sort. The diving helmet in particular is something done in a style I'm a sucker for myself and the weedy technical arm is done using the servo arm of either a Tech Marine or Enginseer, right? This is awesome s**t.

the gut plate is awaiting an Iron Warriors transfer, hence why its still plain, and the servo arm was hacked from a normal servitor. the sentinel leg was... perhaps not the best choice but i kinda like its uber-bulkiness

I love the use of the yellow/black striping, gives them an awesome industrial look. The servitor looks like something out of Bioshock.
