Step 1 : Winter is coming - the final result

After watching a bunch of videos thanks to DAKKA and WARSEER advisers, I realised a couple of things : there is the GW fur and the other furs. There is the "long thin S method" and the "V shape style". So I went for the "other GW S & V school"...  ;)

I feel relieved that the fur is looking better, even though I had to keep the previous "side pelts". So as to stop brainstorming at work on how should I sculpt my Sprenger's pelt, I'll leave it as is.

Once again, thank you very much everyone for your support and tips !

Here are the results (*drumroll*)

 

 

Once cured, I'll give the borders a bite so as to make it more, erh, edge ...

Step 1 : Winter is coming

I had a try at making some GS fur.

I am, well, torn apart between thinking it looks good and it looks awkward. Let me read your thoughts on this please :

I eventually cut it in two, as you may notice.

The bottom right part will be added some claws

What do you think ? I think it could be improved but I don't know in what ways ...

Please let me know your C&C  :)

Step 1 : quick update

A little update on this slow pace project.

Inquisitor Dvorak got more than just a plain rejuvenat treat, he simply changed face.

As for inquisitor Sprenger, he got a bit of a facelift too :

His left arm will not be left as such, I plan on adding a kind of pelt to hide the gap of his armpit. And his back will be draped in a cloak. I am really new to GS manipulation so I'll follow a few tuts here and there ...

If you stop by this post, I will be glad to read your comments. I know I have a long way to go to achieve what I have in mind and I know I can do it thanks to your thoughts on this :)

Back again, part 4734 ...

So I've been away for more than a year and it's been full of activities. New GF, back on Aion, GF moving at my flat, new hobby impulse thanks to GF, etc ... All in all, she made me come back !

Now I am highly motived and under fierce adrenaline rush. I bought new stuff and realised that I do need some kind of plan to get things organised. I discovered a small PC program that will help me cut my project into smaller pieces. Here it is : http://www.warhammer-forum.com/index.php?showtopic=139155

It allows for a given amount of points to split the completion of your army into several sessions. Here, and according to the brand new Codex : Inquisition, I roughly have 900 points of pure inquisitorial force.

Here is how I plan the on-going process of assembling and painting my inquisitorial escort.
Steps are :

1. Purchase
2. Conversion
3. Basecoat
4. Paint job
5. Basing

Each session should (hopefully) last 1 month ...

All in all, a lot of work to come so got to go to work on that !
