Brother_Israfil Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The first couple images are the assembled mini, to give an idea of the parts that went into it. (Yes, my camera and photography skills are... lacking) http://imgur.com/XgRZ8.jpg http://imgur.com/ugMFR.jpg I have base-coated him black and done the Mechrite Red coat so far: http://imgur.com/XeLui.jpg http://imgur.com/Buurf.jpg His right hand is magnetized so I can switch out his gun. I imagine I will always equip him with some manner of power weapon/relic blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Israfil Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Update for this evening. http://imgur.com/BcxU7.jpg http://imgur.com/3g3Xz.jpg The red has gotten it's 3rd layer of thinned blood red. Most of the other areas have their undercoat. I'm hoping I can highlight the gold enough and enrich the red with Baal wash because right now he's looking very... Khorne-ate. Rumors has it the new codex will give BA access to a piece of wargear called A Laurel of Thorns which will help them dictate if the Red Thirst overcomes a squad or not. I added the laurel to stand in for that but I'm unsure what to paint it. I could go with gold, but there is a lot of that already. I thought about trying metallic green a-la viva metallica. I have a few test pieces in the works to see if I can even pull that off. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 so far looks good dude its turns out that i have the same wings so what i would sugest is to lightly drybrush the wings with a lighter color like so that is my Dark Angels Company Master. I used that idea to paint up my Golden Bolter single mini entry but sadly i got 4 votes :/ but meh hopefully this will help you out - Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Israfil Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 so far looks good dude Thanks! ... i would sugest is to lightly drybrush the wings with a lighter color Indeed. The plan is to hit them with white and then a coat of black wash. I tested a few undercoats and a few different washes. All the brown-ish washes just looked hideous while the black sort of greyed it some but did an excellent job of picking out the details. And there are a lot of details in those wings. I was sad to read that this mini would not be tourney-legal b/c the wings are not GW and the base is "not the base the miniature came with." But I used 40mm instead of the 25mm because of those big metal wings. This mini is very top heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Israfil Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Almost done! A few details like the sword and purity seal remain. I need to do something more with the plasma pistol, too. http://imgur.com/fmkQU.jpg http://imgur.com/ZVO92.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
