paintedyellow Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I haven't seen this model painted yet so I finished him up because I think its such a nice sculpt. Let me know what you think. http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc114/painted_yellow/IMG_3703.jpg http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc114/painted_yellow/IMG_3704.jpg http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc114/painted_yellow/IMG_3705.jpg http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc114/painted_yellow/IMG_3706.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faol Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Very nice, the gray and red mesh well and look very smooth I like that metallic section on the jet pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haunter! Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Good work with the grey, it's not a direction I would normally think of with Blood Angels or a successor. The power sword has a nice 'crackle' within the lightning and the metal on the jump pack is very bright and clean-looking. I really like the gems the most though. They really stand out in a nice way. That being said, I think face could use some more brightening. The highlights are very abrupt and you see what should be shadows too early. Just a little more highlighting along the jawline, the cheekbones, and the brow would be a great boon to mini in my humblest of opinions. I have to say, I've been waiting for someone to post pics of this mini from more angles. It's a great sculpt, but the sword arm looks a tad awkward to me.

paintedyellow Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 Thanks everyone. As for the face, I always do mine a bit dark like this because I like the idea that a space marine spends a lot of time in the sun so he will have a pretty dark complexion. I am grateful for the advice though and will take it into consideration on the many other bare heads I have to paint to finish this army. I prefer bare heads over helmets.

nurgling6688 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 looks good. As far as space marines having a dark complexion from being in the sun i tend to think the other way. Unless they have been in a protracted campaign they spend a good deal of their time in space. Even when on the battlefield they have their helmets on, and unless its a desert world most Imperial worlds have little sun due to all the pollutants and smog in the atmosphere, especially once a war gets going, even more smoke. So i tend to think of them as being fairly pale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 is he a KOB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rognvaldr Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I think the KOB are metallic, but i think he looks really sweet like this. Very close to my Ironbloods paint scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedyellow Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 My chapter name is the Brotherhood of Thronos. Thronos is one of the choir of angels, they carry the throne of god and deal out his justice. Thronos is Greek I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
