Wel I've been converting some models the last few months, and the last two were rather good in my opinion
I participated in a convertion tournament, theme Valentine. Me and my friend came up with the idea of making an Cupidogre. An ogre with fals wings, a gigantic cupido bow, pulled upby a scrappy construction, pulled by gnoblars. I became second in the game, I've got 20 votes, and the 1st one (a julia and romeo convershion from elves) got 21 votes

I've only got pics when it was unpainted, as he still stands in my local gamestore. maybe you wil see it painted later. I made and painted the ogre, the base, and the gnoblars, my friend the construction. Its overal brownish, with some hearts. it looks good to me. The ogre wears a large white boxershorts with hearts on it

My other project was a Mawseeker ogre, an ogre who came back from a pilgramage to the Maw. Well, he mutaded, and everyone says it looks like an chaos ogre(from nurgle), which I don't like as I see chaos ogres trators to the Maw.
How can i make him look like a Maw-ogre by painting it?

here are some pics:

awesome sculpt man! those tentacles are really awesome!!! i love that custom ogre!

The cupid ogre is great. Nice conversion. Will you use it as a scraplauncher in games?
And the mawseeker, while well done, is heavily mutated for a mawseeker. I don't know your fluff behind it, but the Maw itself doesn't cause mutation.

ghark Ironskin · « **Reply #3 on:** Mar 12, 2009, 07:43:14 PM »

@ Reg: yes, I'll be using him as a scraplauncher, but I also wrote down some fluff and rules about him, if you guys want to, i can post him up.

About the mawseeker, it could be wrong, but my intrepetation about the coming of the maw was that there came a huge meteorite out of the sky, a large 'chaos stone' which went into the deserts near cathay were the ogres used to live. Some ogres manage to succes in their pilgramage to the stone which they identify with the Maw,and to find their way back. The book states that a mawseeker is stupid and parts of him have mutated and rotten away. I wanted him to look like that. Maybe I did a litle to 'much' about him. I liked how it came out and wanted every time to add more and more.

I like the model, and your fluff for it is fine. But officially, the Maw doesn't cause such rampant mutation (and it isn't explicitly a chunk of warp stone, though we know it is). The mutation it causes is partly due to the incredible heat and dryness of the desert surrounding it, and it causes a wasting away effect (think radiation sickness). But since it is a large chunk of warp stone, and there are so few reported cases of mawseekers, who knows what the extent of the effects are.

ooh, well, I should have miss-understood the fluff around the ogre pilgramage. I'll say he managed to succesfully make the pilgramag twice then.

Thanks

Is the great maw some "old god" like thing eating away the world then?

Also i really like the conversions

And if you dont mind telling me, how exactly did you do the tentacles?

BeastMum · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 13, 2009, 01:07:40 AM »

Your Cupidogre is wonderful, very Michaelangelo/Da Vinci somehow! I love the Mawseeker too, tentacles are always so cool! I'm really looking forward to seeing both of these guys with paint on. Perhaps your Mawseeker could be sort of blackened with radiation burns, with some cool glowing green.. or maybe really pallid purpley sores.

Well, I began with a great tentacle around the sword(I used miliput, as its harder then greenstuf) then, I began at the bottom of the great tentacle, adding smaller ones, in the air or also around the sword. Just repeat this until your at the top of the arm. If this is finished, I added some destroyed skin over the tentacles at the top, like it was growing from the inside of his arm, pulling the 'real' arm away. if I'm planning on making a new mawseeker with tentacles, I should maybe make a litle tutorial around it.

I shall use my regular colour sheme (grey skin colour, dark red pants) and on his mutated skin parts some greenish glow if I manage to paint it that way. The tentacles will be painted verry dark green with a very lichtgreen highlight. I will start painting sunday, and will take pictures of the finished cupidogre tomorrow if I don't forget.

ghark Ironskin · « **Reply #9 on:** Mar 15, 2009, 04:07:30 PM »

Well, I decided I'll post all my new models over here. I forgot to take pictures of the painted cupidogre, but I managed to finished my mawseeker. I'm happy with the result. Because I enyoyed making and painting him that much, I'll make a unit of 3 mawseekers. But first something else, I bought a new tyrant yesterday. He'll become a real 'ironskin' tyrant.

Pics of the finished mawseeker:

what do you think about him?

Reg06 · « **Reply #10 on:** Mar 15, 2009, 07:19:36 PM »

I like it. The photo quality makes it hard to determine exactly how well it is painted, but it looks nice. The tentacles seem undone though, partially because they look like unpainted greenstuff.

Momada · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 15, 2009, 07:25:39 PM »

i like the paintjob from what i can see. It really brings out the monstrousity of it

Though i have to agree with Mr. 06 with the tentacles

CaNNiBaLLZ · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 15, 2009, 07:27:13 PM »

i love it! awesome mate! just awesome!

but i think that the tentacles should be purple-ish.. but hey its your model and i love it

BeastMum · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 16, 2009, 12:24:40 AM »

He looks great, although your photos aren't doing him justice! (If only we could take photos as well as we can paint...

) I like the tentacles, I can see that you have shaded them nicely, and I'm sure that IRL they don't look like greenstuff at all. He's very cool, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!

ghark Ironskin · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 16, 2009, 04:39:16 PM »

I know the pics aren't that clear. I took them with my cellphone, but the camera photo's are even worse. In real the tentacles look better. They look a bit dry, but I'm going to wash it with some green ink. if I coeld get my hands on a better camera...

ghark Ironskin · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 26, 2009, 04:05:08 PM »

I've finished my new Tyrant/bruiser today. I gave him some extra armor, changed some poses and different wapons.
Here are the results:

any comments?

CaNNiBaLLZ · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 26, 2009, 06:05:56 PM »

good model

kin545 · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 08, 2009, 02:16:30 AM »

I'm with leet!

but seriously, these are really great

ghark Ironskin · « **Reply #18 on:** Apr 08, 2009, 08:59:57 AM »

Thanks for the comments

at the moment, I'm working on a stegadon scraplauncher:D I've cut an ogre in three pieces, and made him fit on the stegadon, gave him a cannon, filles some gaps in the stegadon.(I had to sculpt some skin) and started painting. i only have to paint the ogre, and a final highlight on the skin of the stegadon

the stegadon is realy fun to paint. heres my WIP:

thats it

CaNNiBaLLZ · « **Reply #19 on:** Apr 08, 2009, 11:18:35 AM »

wery nice! i like the idea of the leadblecher.. it would be cooler if the cannon would be modified!

maby 2 barrels to make it shoot twice

i like this model and its nicely painted too!

Enkiel · « **Reply #20 on:** Apr 09, 2009, 12:36:41 AM »

or to make it really look random like the scraplauncher, have him aim at the sky.

that would be a good idea

, but i already painted him yesterdayevening

Belchfist Beastkiller · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 13, 2009, 03:11:03 AM »

I really like the mawseeker ogre, though he does look chaosy. I love the way you've painted the section between the two faces which could have easily messed up!

Loving the scraplauncher idea, and also the cupidogre! Looking forward to some finished pics!

BeastMum · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 15, 2009, 12:29:25 AM »

Tyrant looks great, and your Stegadon is really coming along nicely! Good idea, good execution! I like your painting style.

ghark Ironskin · « **Reply #24 on:** Apr 15, 2009, 08:27:31 AM »

Thanks for those comments

I've taken pics of my finished stegoscraplauncher. I've painted the ogre and his cannon, and added some skink traitors. They kept moving with the stegadon once he was captured by the ogre. They think the ogre wants to protect the stegadon, and they want to help him. The ogre just wants an easy way to travel through the mountains with his heavy cannon.

I'm sorry for the bad quality...

my next project will be another mawseeker.

thanks
