Purifier Flame Conversions

Posted by Unknown

My computer broke again, awesome. Anyway got some pictures loaded up onto my USB I thought I'd show you since I don't have continuous access to a computer obviously. For my Purifiers I wanted to make them stand out more than just having different colored helmets and Halberds compared to the normal GKSS w/Force Swords. So I thought, why not model their cleansing flame ability and what better way to do it than with flaming Halberds? Sounds good...

So then the question was how to do. Green stuff obviously but to make the Halberd look like it's producing the flame or a halo of flame sort of thing? I went for the flaming Halberd look and attached a blob of green stuff, let it harden and then pulled it for the flame effect. What I've then tried to do with the paint job is make it look like the flames are coming off the Halberd. Not sure I've done this too well as I was hungover when I did the paint job (go figure...) but I'm liking the overall concept and can hopefully perfect it for my Purifiers.

Anyway here are some pictures on an already painted model (no the arms do not belong on this model; thanks magnets). Comments appreciated!

Looks good, though I think a black to grey to white flame would look cooler. Or just old fashioned fire colors.

Very nice. Here I was thinking you'd bugger it up when you first mentioned you were gonna do it.

Pink flames, though. Come on.

Will do some other colors and see how they look but I'm glad I've met you're 'non-buggering up approval' =D.

I have to try this out lol... bit more white on the flames might help to convey the idea of intense, psychic heat.

Inlike the basic idea, but I think the paint job ing the flames could be proved. Perhaps having the flames a different color, or start the same color and blend up to a different one... Just a thought. Also, it may be the pic, but perhaps blending the GS a little more into the blade might help the overall effect. All in all those are small comments, it looks cool!

I agree. Start the flames the color of the blade and then move to either a different color or to a significantly lighter color.

The greenstuff work is very nice! The paintjob needs to be a lot brighter, imo.

I agree. At the moment, it kinda looks like you did something nasty to a Nurgling..

Aye paint job isn't fantastic and will be experimenting with other colors (base blade color will be green though to go with the rest of my army). Should have pics of development soon, thanks for feedback!
