[Commission] Space Hulk Genestealer Hybrids and Terminators

[Sigur]

Hey there, it's time for a new sci-fi project and again it is set in the grimdark future of the 41st millenium!

Here's a testmini that's still a little WIP:

I have no idea what went wrong with the lighting on this one. Some days that just happens. Anyway, stay tuned for more of his brethen and some dudes to fight them!

 

[Sigur]

Better picture along with a Magus (guess how psyched I am to get the chance to paint this venerable sculpt ):

Hope you like them!

Here's a little preview shot of the rest of the 4th generation Hybrids:

Update:

I plan to finish these by Sunday at the latest, hope to finish them until Friday, expect to finish them by Saturday.

A little shift in colour scheme:

 

[Eelco]

Excellent work, I like them a lot.
I think the bases are very nice.... just very simple, but in the same time some mysterious in a way. I guess because of the rasters, so you don't know what's down under.

Best regards,

Eelco

 

[Sigur]

@Eelco: Thanks.



So, the 4th generation (sans "Fatty" with whom I have a little trouble finishing his skin right) is finished:

Hope you like them. Next up: 3rd generation Hybrids, where things get a little more alien.

 

[Meph]

Excellent work indeed! They're looking very impressive. Keep doing what you're doing man, good stuff.

 

[khavor]

Beautiful work as always! Very nice coven you've got going. It's good to see someone out there is still playing a Cult army. There appear to be some very cool conversions too. Did you put them together or were you just hired to paint them?

Do you get to do a limo for them?

 

[cassar]

ditto above well presented.

 

[Sigur]

@Meph: Thanks very much. I'll keep going as long as I can.

@khavor: The conversions/sculpting as done my MajorTom11 over at dakka. He hired me to paint his Genestealer Cult. It's not so much a 40k army but a warband for Space Hulk. He made it his personal mission to recreate all the factions from 1st edition Space Hulk for 3rd edition. Very cool stuff. As for the limo - I'm afraid that there'll be no limo at this point.

@cassar: cheers!



The weekend has been rather eventful (friday and saturday at least. Sunday I wasn't able to do anything) so the first WIPs of the 3rd generation Hybrids are a little late:

Not all that much to say about these. I hope to finish them tonight. C&C welcome!

 

[CreganTur]

Man, you're really churning these guys out! They look fantastic- nothing more to say, really.

 

[Sigur]

Hehe, thanks. Well, I'm mostly just posting many updates these days I guess.


Here's probably the last update for tonight:

The second Meltagun dude in the far left is a very cool conversion. That thing arching over the back of his head almost makes him look like he's got a topknot which makes for insta-coolness.

 

[Sigur]

Okay, after a little hiatus from this thread, here's the long-awaited update!


First off, the finished 2nd generationers. The guy in the middle isn't wearing pink slippers. I thought he was wearing some kind of modified boots that were made to look like claws but then I notice that I had to change that to being his regular feet so that's just the basecoat of the skin I have to redo.

Some finished 1st generation Hybrids:

The last two Hybrid fellas finished - "Fatty" the 4th generation guy and the guy who controls the 1st generation hybrids (the ones with the heavy weapons on their backs):

So I guess we're up to date now on the Hybrids. Basically, they're all painted now and we can proceed to the rest of the set - three techpriests of the Adeptus Mechanicus and five Blood Angels Terminators. Here's early WIPs of the Techpriests:

The awesomeness of dark metal and dark red combined never ceases to astound me.

Hope you like everything. Feel free to comment!

 

[Sigur]

Adeptus Mechanicus Techpriests and Acolyte!

Here's the first WIP of the Space Hulk Terminators who are part of the Hybrids/Adeptus Mechanicus/BA Terminators commission project:

The guy in the middle obviously is the test mini. He's quite a bit darker in real life.


Things that are up next:
.) 40k Orks!
.) Lots of Blood Angels Terminators!
.) Malifaux! (The Ortegas, yay!)
.) Ironsides Handgunners, General and Battle Standard bearer for the Averland army!
.) ....and another Space Wolves army!


That's it for now. Hope you like everything, C&C welcome as always!

 

[khavor]

Oooooo. Blues on the Adeptus' axe really turned out well. I also like the nice bright Blood Angel. Kind of puts me in an old school BA frame of mind (though he's not as orange as the REALLY old red period guys used to be).

 

[Sigur]

@khavor: Thanks. Actually, the client wanted to go for a really dark red. Had to redo most of the red but it still came out pretty bright and high in contrast. Guess that's how I paint red armour. :S



Here's an update on the Terminators. I was told to add freehand stuffs as I please so I added a few bits here and there:

The shoulder shield/powerfist combo on the guy in the right looks a bit ...well, terrible in the picture but I'll tone that down. Again, the red isn't quite as it looks in real life. I have no idea what's going on with that.

 

[Sigur]

Anyhoo, update:

The red still is off. It's deeper, less flat and less orange in real life. Sorry about the pictures, no idea what's going wrong all the time. Fixed the overbearing hazard stripe pattern on the bald guy by reversing the pattern on the sholder shield thing and making the fingers of the powerglove red again. Looks much more balanced now. Apart from that, I added the white parts to the rmoud, did some more freehand stuffs, worked on the gold and silver as well. Now thinking wether or not I should use green. Nothing big, just proceeding. Hope everyone's having a nice weekend, happy May Day and congrats to John Paul II. on his quick Beatification. The weather is partly cloudy with chance of rain today so I I'll have to think of taking the laundry in before the rain starts. So much for fluffing out the update. Good Speed!

 

[Sigur]

Painting is going painfully slow. The level of detail on these guys...

 

[Sigur]

Again, tiny update:

I actually am just waiting for another little bit of feedback from the client so I know that I'm not totally off his plans.

Comments and critique from you guys also is appreciated always of course!
