Show us your Grave Guards

[Theerteen]

Ah ok, thank you. The look a little bit like the (dunno what ed...) chaos warriors ( http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/033/5/c/Chaos_Warriors_Rank_One____by_Djartistknight.jpg ).
Maybe a friend of mine has some of them unused, I will try to converse them in that style (or die trying to get the models you mentioned!).

 

[Seneschal]

Good freehand on the shields, Reaper. I wish I could paint skulls that well, sheesh!

Hehe thanks! I might do a videotutorial if I manage to get the last shield

Those are the current ed Chaos Warriors. So getting your hands on them shouldn't be hard at all.

 

[Petterwass]

The Cirmson Guard, elite bodyguard of Dragoth the Defiler.

Nothing fancy, standard GW issue GG.
I'm rather happe with how I managed to avoid anyone having a duplicate hat. Appropriately for elite fighers from a pre-Empire society, they each have their own unique helmets.

 

[Melle]

My four grave guards with freehanded shields. Unfortunatelly I don't have shield for the last one

shields to those are just standard shields. easy enough to get. old Bretonnia are same size, just file down emblem.
i got some to spare if al else fails though

 

[Santawraith]

And now the grave guard. Same as before but with scorched grass.

 

[Eyeless]

Just finished 10 of my GG, I'll be adding 10 more later on during the summer =]

Hope you like them :skull:

 

[Minty]

I likes me the concept, Eyeless, but the execution is... Unsatisfying. It's a nice crisp job, good detailing, no errors that I can see. It's flat, though.

I really feel a few washes would do wonders for your work.

Specifically, black ink or wash on the metalwork, and brown on the bone.


Most of all though, your champion's sword let's paint us some green fire! Easy and effective:

Basecoat white. Block colour yellow. Green wash. It really is that easy. I mean, you can make it more complex and you can make it look better, but those three steps will look awesome.


(Psst! Over here! Green is also a good wash for blue armour. Just saying...)

 

[Eyeless]

oh thanks a lot mate, I'll try experimenting a bit with washes and head back over here then =D

 

[SoulSeeker]

My grave guard, painted to look like draugr from Skyrim.

 

[Theerteen]

The flash took much of the spirit, but the pics are ok so far I think.

 

[TheBlobThing]

Here are my speed-painted GG. Haven't worked up the courage to free-hand a standard for them yet.

 

[benvoliothefirst]

Made from the 5th (?) edition hunchbacked chaos warriors, contemporary skeleton sprue, and a whole bunch of sawing and gluing!

 

[Adam_Barrow]

I love the Nurgle guy best. Though they all read well. Great job!

 

[Theerteen]

I second Adam Barrow, the nurglic one looks best, while I can't decide if it's on the armour colour or the "type" of the armour, cause I love those throat protector things Winner of hearts is the Khorne favourite, the pose just says "Violence and bloodshed? Hell yeah, here we go!"

 

[Thindol]

My grave guard, painted to look like draugr from Skyrim.

My gosh. Those are fantastic. Though why did you base them like that?

 

[Count Vorri Von Rapt]

Here's my GG WIP. I've only managed to complete the one on the far right at the moment!

No way I can follow on from Soulseekers work... wow!

 

[Count Lupei]

I take it the purple guy on the rights a vamp. He looks awsome! The heavily armored gg are looking pretty good.

 

[Juljima]

Sorry to dissapoint you all, this is not a picture of Graveguards, rather a way to make you look at this post and hopefully share my opinion that some new photoes here would be nice.

I myselfe will try to capture my graveguards on a picture tonight and try to upload it here for your amusment.

I hope this message got your attention and that I will be able to drool over new wonders in this post tonight after a busy day at work.

Kind Regards,
Juljima

 

[Borgnine]

Now that you mention it, I noticed that I posted my GGs only in the plog and not here. So - I leave something here for posterity

A little sloppy tutorial on how to get such effect on armor is HERE

 

[Mad 'At]

Well then, I too can share my Grave Guards here.

Hope you like them.

EDIT: PM me if you want a tutorial for the mirrored effect on the swords (though in other colours).

 

[Juljima]

Borgnine and Mad 'At, very nice models indeed! Great work!

I never got the chance to upload any pictures this weekend. Will do it when I can.

Cheers!

Boy, that's one of the best usages of the BC coffin I ever saw! Very impressive. I'd love to know how you did the swords, the effect looks awesome! (while I don't really like the red, cause ima greeny one, I'd try to copy them in green ).

 

[Olethros70]

Just sharing some pictures. If you find them of interest, more will be taken.
