Tortura Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 So after quite a bit longer than I would have liked to spend on the beast, he's finally done! Lighting in these pics is pretty poor but, well, you get the idea ;) Cheers! Landrick, marine7312000, brother_b and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 That's bad lighting?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Just awesome. I've put mine aside until I can start on my BA properly but yours is an inspiration. Tortura 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Even the spent shell casings on the base have a dark to light gradient... That is some serious attention to detail! Excellent work my friend, let us know how he does in combat! Tortura 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherMax Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Tortura - the lighting of the photo does not conceal the sheer awesomeness of the paint job! You should think about a light box and background though – your models deserve it! Tortura 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent work my friend, let us know how he does in combat! Glad you noticed :) I thought I was going a bit crazy, shading individual shells, but it pays off in the end! Tortura - the lighting of the photo does not conceal the sheer awesomeness of the paint job! You should think about a light box and background though – your models deserve it! That actually is a good idea. I spoke to someone about building one myself a while ago but it completely slipped my mind! Next project should be up and running very soon. I need some sternguard for a tournament so I might do them as a quick last vow...now where is that bitsbox ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeblerartillery Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'm really curious to see the end result of this. The inverted color scheme could turn out really neat but not sure a matte red works on the power pack. Seems to throw off the balance of the mini a bit to me. Cheers though, your work is always excellent Tortura 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'm going to go out on a limb and say Sternguard ;) Are those 25mm bases? The kneeling guy and sarge might benefit from the extra real estate afforded by 32mm! Tortura 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers though, your work is always excellent Jup, this one is a bit of an experiment! If the red on the packs proves to be too distracting, I'll tone it down with some weathering ;) I'm going to go out on a limb and say Sternguard Are those 25mm bases? The kneeling guy and sarge might benefit from the extra real estate afforded by 32mm! In hindsight I might have been better off with basing them on 32's instead of the 25's. I have, however, based all my other infantry on 25's so I kind of want the consistency throughout the army :) I also need them done asap, as I have 2 tournaments coming up! Cheers!

LutherMax Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That has got to be one of the best painted cloaks I've seen. Everything is awesome - the purple, the gold, the face, the little chips and scratches, the base - but the cloak is really impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortura Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Cheers everyone! That has got to be one of the best painted cloaks I've seen. Everything is awesome - the purple, the gold, the face, the little chips and scratches, the base - but the cloak is really impressive! People really seem to like the cloak a lot. I tried some new blending techniques while painting it and they seem to have worked! Now...to start cleaning that Leviathan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortura Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hey guys, Been a while but the new BA dex has brought back some serious hobby mojo! I plan on putting some serious time in to get my Blood Angels army fully painted asap! Thought it would be fitting to get the ball rolling again by making a new model for our faction's nr. 1 resident badass Mr. Mephiston himself. Plan on doing some minor details and then it's painting time. In the meantime here's a :cussty picture; the next wip shots will be better :) Stay tuned! tkni, Xenith, Jolemai and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
