The Venom Legion of Quetza (Temple Guard are up!)

Re: The Venom Legion of Quetza (Ripperdactyl is here!)

Awesome paintjob! Like the basing!

 

Re: The Venom Legion of Quetza (Ripperdactyl is here!)

I second that. That pattern just makes him look fierce!

 

Re: The Venom Legion of Quetza (Ripperdactyl is here!)

Very cool looking models and bases!

Curious, what material are you using for your bases?

 

Re: The Venom Legion of Quetza (Ripperdactyl is here!)

The materials I use for my bases, along with a short tutorial can be found on page 4 of this topic If there is a desire from people, I can put together a picture tutorial for my bases and post it individually. My bases are neither difficult nor expensive to do.

Here are my latest creations: My finished Ripperdactyl unit, along with the all-important Blot Toad!








Im currently working on bulking out my skinks, but after that I plan to finish of my almost-compleat temple guard unit, and a new Carnosaur. Stay tuned!

 

Re: The Venom Legion of Quetza (Ripperdactyl unit finished!)

Excellent work! The Ripper unit looks great together and again I love the pattern and color choice for them. That blot toad is also very nice.

 

Re: The Venom Legion of Quetza (Ripperdactyl unit finished!)

Well, im back at long last. Been very busy painting the last couple of months, but most of it has been simply adding to existing units. Got a finished carnosaur to show you though, and once I get hold of them, a unit of temple guard (left them on the mainland, as I have a tournament there this weekend).

Enjoy!

 

Re: The Venom Legion of Quetza (New Carnosaur! 20/11)

Nice carnosaur, I like it. However, I can see a mould line under the largest saddle spike, but it won't show on the table, so I guess it's of small importance. I just feel details like that should match the quality of the paint job, which is high indeed!

Is it games-workshop trees you use on your bases?

 

Re: The Venom Legion of Quetza (New Carnosaur! 20/11)

You caught me. If there is one thing in Warhammer I truly suck at (apart from choosing a new army and sticking to it) it is fixing mold lines. I just cannot figure out how to do it without making the lines more noticable!

And yes, it is indeed the GW trees.

Right, here are my now completed Temple Guard. And I truly hope I never have to paint any again. A truly daunting task at 4-5 hours per saurus!

 

Awesome work man.. All of it! I would love a base tutorial!

 

Awesome paint job (might have to steal it!)

No seriously though nice fluff/models


On the topic of Blot-Toads I put mine on the base on one of my Terradons!

 

Wow. The Carno is amzing and I really like the bright colours across your army as a whole. The contrast between the rider and his shield is really striking.

The uniformity of the Temple Guard is very nice especially the identical positioning of weapon arm. They look very disciplined. I might have to rip the arms of my unpainted Temple Guard now

4-5 hours p/m - a labour of love! I feel a little better about how long it's taking me to paint my second unit of Saurus now. I've only got two more Saurus to paint and then I've scheduled a break from them.

 

Heya, sorry for bumping such an old topic but I can't seem to find the trees you used for the Ripperdactyl flying stands. I can't believe how hard i'm finding it to find trees suitable as flying stands! Anybody aware where I may be able to obtain them?

 

Those are the "Citadel Woods" that Games Workshop sells.

 

So they are.....

I guess thats what happens when you're trained to seek out third party for tablestop stuff in Aus, you miss the defaults.

Thankyou for the pointer!

EDIT: I don't know if it was ever pointed out what grey was used for the rippas? Like the almost blue tinge it has.

 

Very cool -- what's that unit-filler?

 

nice steg conversion

 

Digging the paint scheme. You mentioned you used a speed-painting technique. Care to share?

 

Hey just followed this thread and gotta say I really like your story and paint job for your army! May they have the blessings of sotek upon them in battle!

 

I found your page when looking for razordon alternatives and really loves yours, a shock when I discover that our armies have something very much in common and I could see fighting side by side against Clan Pestilence. Obviously I am a few years late but I love your back story and find it hilarious that although separated by 6 years our stories are very similar and both use Quetza as a few component of the story/lore.

*Both our armies are immune to clan pestilence (I include nurgle in mine).

*My army is immune due to their spawning pools being altered by Sotek and Quetzl themselves, making all spawned bulkier and immune to the above.*

*both stories place Quetza as key areas to be held/protected/recaptured.

Few other things but those are the two big ones

Oh a separate note: My Dragon Isles Temple City is named Xiuhcoatl, I had no idea that there was a character named it! Or is that your OC?

Love what you have going on here in this first entry, going to keep reading, hope youre still goin at it! Love the story and colors so far!

Nice find! Never seen this stuff before.

And all the saurus are GREEN! ​

Loved the standard bearer!

...and the unique dino-croc!

And those temple guard are definitely my favorite... so much character on that base!
