Good work on the Captain! The Gravis armour is really well done, I don't think I've seen anyone customise Gravis to this degree.

Progress on my captain, which I'm painting for the Lock-down Painting Challenge.

I've done the basecoat of 50:50 mephiston and evil sunz, and applied a glaze of khorne red to some areas, plus the recess shading of black & mephiston.

Golds been started, some of the black areas (soft armour and wings) have been started and white bits have been base coated too (wings on sword are slightly further along).

All a bit rough and ready atm still, the dark recess shading is a bit too rough and needs some further neatening up, but i'll mostly handle that with the next step on the red (evil sunz highlight)

[Majkhel]

Really nice reds so far! Good to see you painting again :)

[Noctus Cornix]

I'm always so envious of your work.... 

 

It's always just... TOO GOOD!

Looking good! Can't wait to see this one finished. Edited May 26, 2020 by Custom Hero

Excellent stuff. It's coming together quite well.

He looks the Boss. Kudos. Keep up the great work.

Liking the red and gold so far

Captain is looking good! He already has one heck of a presence so I can’t wait to see him all painted up!

[Blindhamster]

decided i really wasn't happy with the tabard, so i am currently resculpting it. I then need to get on with finishing the paint work i guess - not long till deadline right? :/

[Doghouse]

Might be worth following the movement of the cloak with the tabard.

I did try that but tabards just dont look good blowing backward between the legs lol.

 

I just want it to be neater and less flat honestly!

[Blindhamster]

Made a bit of progress on my gravis captain.

I decided to replace the sword and halo, i also resculpted the tabard. I've painted the cloak twice, pretty happy with the second attempt honestly.

My eyes are not what they were (sucky thing to say at 32) so its a real struggle to do any kind of detail work, but the magnifying glasses i got before are helping a bit. In terms of actual progress, shading has been done on just about everything, the red has had recesses painted and a glaze of khorne red in logical areas, the tabard is more or less done, the cloak is more or less done, the rest isn't!

The Gravis CAPT looks great! What will you put under his raised foot? Rocks or other terrain features? Skulls or other remains of those he killed in battle?

Im thinking probably some broken rubble and perhaps some bent metal - to show how weight. It was tempting to go for the body of an enemy but i've not included that as a theme in the rest of my army so may be weird.

[Midnightmare]

Your Gravis Captain is amazing mate, the paint job is coming along great.

 

Epic work!

[Blindhamster]

Thanks! Probably the most progress I've made on a model for a while lol.

 

If anyone has suggestions for bases I'm down for hearing them.

[Brother Dallo]

I have to say, you should be really proud of what you’ve achieved in this thread over the past few years. Some lovely models.

 

Keep up the good work.

Hey Blindhamster! I've been following your progress on FB as well and gotta say: well done :)

Captain is coming along nicely. Good work on the cloak. New Iron Halo will look great next to the new Indomitus releases ;)

They were part of the reason for resulting the tabard and the halo change lol. He should look cool being backed up by the bladeguard!

[OakRiver]

Very cool! Can I ask if you took inspiration from the Epic 40K boxart?

 

[Blindhamster]

haven't posted in this for a long time, I HAVE done stuff, which I may post at some point. But had a different little update

Started on a new captain (I like captains), this one is built to be kinda modular, covering the plasma pistol, bolt pistol + MC auto bolt rifle and relic shield variants. He has the Encarmine Warblade, using the actual model for it.

options:

[Naryn]

Really feeling the plasma pistol option! The slung bolter on the bolt pistol really distrupts the flow, and the shield feels a little too Conan to me. Love the highlighting on his face.

[BadgersinHills]

Looking great! 

[Chronotonic]

I just went through your works here and I know it has been 8 months since your last update

 

but I look forward to seeing future projects...if you are still here keep up the great work
