Brother Immolator Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It appears from what i garner that the challenge has no set of miniature noumbers so we set our own limits. Eagerly awaiting to see the progress brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Excellent, I'm not blind. Nice model, shame he still looks like a statue ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Neo Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 i was going for the stoic nature of the character in the sense he is the quiet one that you have got to watch out for, contemplating the scene at hand then going in for the decisive blow when necessary while looking at the bigger picture and controlling the whole battlefield as taught by the lion himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Sorry, misunderstanding. I wasn't commenting on the pose, that is cool I like the sword down look too. I was just joking about the current undercoated look B) s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Master Neo Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 @semper he is going to be the master of the 4th company, recently promoted from the position of banner bearer within the deathwing and former member of deathwatch killteam repentance, comprising of dark angels and successor chapter members by 'persuasion' towards the inquisition of supreme grandmaster azrael himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 @semperhe is going to be the master of the 4th company, recently promoted from the position of banner bearer within the deathwing and former member of deathwatch killteam repentance, comprising of dark angels and successor chapter members by 'persuasion' towards the inquisition of supreme grandmaster azrael himself He's got quite a story! Are you by any chance playing Deathwatch the rpg? Now the metal colored arm makes 100% sense! Well done mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Neo Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 not playing at the moment because i barely got enough time for painting let alone gaming (50+ hours per week with a wife that works nights as well is a killer) but i did get my rota and found out i've got a three day weekend this week so between family visits, cleaning the car and spending some quality time with the wife i should hopefully get a bit more done on abdiel and expand on the background story a bit (with any luck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Neo Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 so it turns out i got more work done this weekend than i though i was going to have time for, especially since i did a days overtime as well, so here is, i think finished, master abdiel of the 4th company http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/GrandMasterMurdicus/IMAG0034.jpghttp://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/GrandMasterMurdicus/IMAG0033.jpghttp://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/GrandMasterMurdicus/IMAG0032.jpghttp://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/GrandMasterMurdicus/IMAG0031.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You need his name on the banner, and i think the cloak and reds could use some further highlights/shadowing to really make them pop. The rubble may also benefit from some washes/drybrushing. Overall though he came out really well and already looks set to conquer on the tabletop. Good Job on this one Neo.

Captain Semper Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So is it "vow complete"? Cool! Excellent! It looks ace too! I like the work you put on the shoulder pads and the back banner is very well made! I especially like the detail with the 4th Comp. sign -nice touch! Congrats mate!

Congrats mate! still plenty of time to perfect so not vow complete yet. noticed i've gotta tidy up the banner a little and add a little more depth to the base some how(not sure how yet though) and i'm going to make the robe a little more fancy rather than just bleached bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 A very nice conversion. I wasn't sure about the pose at first but now he's painted I think it works very well. I love what you've done with the small scroll and servo skull behind the banner. Where did you get the plastic combi-plasma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Neo Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 combi-plasma was in the commander box. i wasn't too sure about the pose either but i had a few ideas of how to play the light a little to make it look like he was taking in the battlescene (i love the smell of napalm in the morning kind of thing) may actually create a green stuff cigar thinking about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Neo Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 sorry for the lack of updates. real life has taken over immensely but i have had to take some time off due to the dreaded man flu so i should have a bit more work done this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
