UltraRich Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Ive just got the two FW apothecary minis and Ive started on them for my Ultra chapter. After giving them an airbrushed base and first highlight I started on the first one and to introduce some blue Ive painted the tabard blue. Im not sure though as I think this may be too dark. Ive done a google search but there are very few painted FW Apothecary minis out there. Let me know what you think (Im going to paint the chest skull red too.) If you have this mini feel free to post it too. Thanks http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC10624_zps954234ae.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 He looks alright to me so far. More will need to be done before I can get a good impression of the finished article and properly comment, mind you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus-Alaska Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I think he looks awesome so far. just tighten up the white and your good to go. the shadows might be a little too big. if it helps, put a super thin "sausage" of blue-tac where you want the shadows to be, It works incredibly well. you can even put blue-tac over what you have already painted. I used to do it when I used an AB. great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Chaplain Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Absolutely lovely so far. If I might inquire, how are you achieving that dull brass on the captain's eagle shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks The_Chaplain Its pretty simple Black undercoat BathasarGold base coat (thin) Devlin Mud wash (thinned) Shining gold highlights Shining gold / Mithral silver mix 70/30 Nuln oil wash in the darkest cracks (where one wing overlaps the next) Seraphinm Sepia wash all over (thinned) Final Shining gold / mithral silver mix 50/50 for the absolute edge highlights Ive started work on the captains sword arm and jumped straight into the sword. Only thing is I dont know if it looks like hes ready for action or if it takes too much away from the model and I should have done it "switched off" What do you think? http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0655_zps68f59182-1_zps7b8a7ffb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Chronicler Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just beautiful Ultramarines, I think these are the best representation of them yet! I have seem many and they mostly look all the same but yours stand out, can't wait to see the entire company come together, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 The captains finished now and Im now onto the champion. Next up is one of the Mk5 marines and a Tyranid hunter. I really should do a power weapon tut then Id be allowed to enter these into my vow! http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-2copy-4_zpsda47969f.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-1copy-16_zps594dc479.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0678_zpsc41b2220.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxichobbit Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Very nice 1st Company Rich. The skin tone on the Captain is top notch and the rest is damn good too. The only thing i'm not keen on is the chipping on the Apothecaries left leg, The two scratches just don't sit right for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with you me and Rogan WIPs starting to look like Ultramarine central! Which leg do you mean on the apotecary? the one up on the rock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxichobbit Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Nope, not the one on the rock. His left leg, or from our perspective the right leg. There's two scratches on the armour - I don't know if it's because to top scratch curls up or not, but they just don't quite sit right with the rest of the battle damage (which looks good btw). I can't quite put my finger on what it is that's causing me to think that though. And nothing wrong with it being Ultramarine central :). I think there's actually 5 UM WIPs floating around the front page atm - i've never seen that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 That sword is amazing! You inspire me to want to try something similar. The faces and white look superb as well, and you're gold makes me think I've been doing something wrong. I look forward to seeing more, this stuff is really good.
