Hi all. I recently posted in the Trading Boards that I will soon have some of the Primarchs and their illustrious leader - LINKY

I also said that I would have concept art to do with this range. so without further ado, here you go...

Sanguinius


Mortarion



Leman Russ



The Emperor (This is for the old model, but the artwork is too good not to show)




And now someone that I know many of you are looking forward to getting your hands on...

Lion El'Jonson




Available approx end April/ early May

PM me if you are interested B)

Awesome! :D

For the benefit of any GW loyalist/money-grubbing IP snoopers - I would like to point out that none of this material is the product of any of our members, but is rather the work of independent miniatures designers with whom none of us have any business interest. These images have been linked from external sources. So there.

Just thought I'd clear that up now... :P

Great art work none the less.

wow! any chance of seeing a couple of Roboute???

It is being done at the moment.

Will post it when completed.

Does it have a red hat & pants ? :lol:

Well, the time has come for a long overdue update. The Lion is well behind schedule, but can't be long now, however Papa Smurf is now coming off the drawing board and into our forum.

The action pose is the proposed finished article and there will definitely be some tweaking - not least the "U" on the end of the sword, but for now, HERE'S GUILLIE!!







sing along kids...la-la-lala-lala-lala-la-la....

That's good. :) I like the Roman feel. Between this and the new GW figures, Ultramarines are beginning to look cool!

Sorry to one up you, but I don't think that Smurf's will ever be cool! (I wish Gargamel would stop messing about and just crush them :lol: )

That said it is a rather nice sketch. :D

Hey! Ultramarines were my first army...its not their fault that GW uses them for every marine thing. They ARE cool! :P

looking great! I cant wait for both this and the lion to be made I want both!

Awesome he looks better than the Scibor sculpt! :D
I want!

AWESOME!

I hope that it helps to inspire everyone as to the sort of thing that might be looked for in the Phoenix Knight competition B)

Very nice work!

Just curious, the note says '5 blade talon' but I see 4 ?

If you mean his left hand, then I believe you haven't counted the thumb?

I was sat here thinking I must be a right spanner cos I couldnt see the note Horn was referring to on the Smurf pic, and finally realised he was referring to the Emperor pic, which does indeed only appear to show 4 blades (including the thumb).

Perpsective, guys... of COURSE the Emperor has 5 digits! :lol:

Not in this case it would seem - look at the reverse angle shot. Clearly only three separate finger sections joining onto the palm part of the glove...

Obviously that doesnt mean he doesnt have five digits within the glove, just that the note is wrong in reference to the number of talons.

Papa Smurf looks well good. I think my bank balance might become quite low very soon...

Ah, that's who he meant... It was probably a note after the artist had finished the drawing, as the model has five talons...

That might become a rather cool mini, damn this is going to hurt my wallet.

absolutly amazing.....Dorn?

i wish i can draw like that i can only draw and it's sh*t how about magnus(nudge nudge)

Here's the studio reworking of Jormangundr's winning art including his likeness


Complete with Slaaneshi base!


More coming soon...

*drools*....one big bad *censored*thats Fulgrim for sure...hmm but im wondering where is his Plasma Pistol ?

That will be a top miniature for sure *ggg*

Nice! :D Looks like my wallet's going to be missing a few
bucks for a few months!(Including my B-day!)

Coo – only just found this thread, and wanted to comment on how great the reference material is for the sculptors – what a talented set of artists!

Extremely impressed by Fulgrim – the finery of the armour and the sculpted base will really set off the pose: a nice combination of intense and driven that belies his later fall...

I like the Gulliman concept too: I presume it's based on this piccy, right?


That said, if there's still the opportunity for critique, I think I'd have preferred to see armour that owes more to this:

It just looks more pre-heresy to me (as well as having a cool giant inverted Omega on the breastplate).

Not quite sure on the shouting pose, either – I prefer the brooding look of the lower concept sketch, though obviously a little dynamism would help! Perhaps the cape whipping across the front of him while he gazes off into the distance with 'model pose #34: brooding and intense'. ;)

Minor niggles and personal preferences aside, I really like the face and hair design – exactly how I see Roboute – and the shoulder pads are very striking; combining Graeco-roman influences with the traditional 'marine' feel.

Actually, at the risk of sounding like a cheeky git, any chance the Graeco-Roman influence could be extended over the armour? Mark II segmented armour already owes a lot to the 'lorica segmentum' worn by some Roman legionaries, and a shorter stabby sword without the crosspiece on the handle would not only look cool, but would mean that the pose could concentrate more on the power claw.

no :unsure: *shuffles uncomfortably* It is of course not based on any pre-existing artwork and completely independently devised...... :ph43r:

As for the other picture, there is already a mini in circulation that is extremely similar to this made by a certain Polish artist.

;)

Facepalm!
*Crunch*

Whoops. Better replace the bionic eye and rebreather while I'm fixing the great big bionic foot in my mouth. :lol:

Dang straight,Apologist,and let that be a lesson to you! :)
Forty hail Emporer's and scourge yourself while your at it! :D
(Dang,I should be a chaplain! :lol: )

Here's Johnny!!



Don't worry honey. I'm not gonna hurt you....

I have but one thing to say: Skulls for the Golden Throne, Blood for the emperor! :angry:

wait a second....Dreadlocks ???????????? :huh:

And is he a Psyguy like his Brother One Eye ? Because this in the back is a psychic hood (if you see this without the cables for that brain thing with the cables he is the Gladiator)....

He looks like a Gladiator yes he does....but not like the Gladiator Knight he should be...he need more cables going into the head because of the brain surgery and that brain stimulating apparatus...

Iacton is he already in the making ? Because they are also redoing the other knight they should take their time....

I think take the best of Reglucs Heads and combine it with this complete body and you have the perfect Gladiator Knight.

I must admit, the Head would really profit from a few changes...

And I just thougt I had finally decided myself to do Iron Warriors. And now you show me THIS... ;)

He looks like he has just seen Fulgrim's Slaaneshi girl base!

Angron looks absoloutely incredible.. just like some kind of barbarian, exactly how I imagine him to be!

Now that made me laugh :D

New art....

That's tasty!

Any word on when the Phoenix Knight will be done?

Just put it in the other thread.

The Phoenix is looking much MUCH better this time!! ^_^
