Commander Trask Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 that is a sweet lookin assault marine! "Chok's away lads!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy40k Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Looks great, however... the colour of the flames are backwards (common mistake), the hottest part (closest to the engine) is yellow, and it goes darker from there. -Legacy40k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Daemon Templar Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Looks like he's leaning a bit too much forward. He looks really cool though. I would add some more detail to the flames (more blending and smoke) and some detailing on the base as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCEET Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 The colour of the flames is not always a description of temperature, yellow flames at the tips often occur in "diffusion" flames where there is excessive amount of oxygen and thus imcomplete combustion of carbon occurs, thus carbon atoms are ejected at temperatures where they emit yellow radiation in a similar way to how fireworks work such as strontium is red, copper chloride green etc. Im not 100% sure how jump packs create propulsion but if they wanted efficient combustion the flame would most likely be blue (providing the flame would be premixed with air thus in stoichiometric mixtures, as it starts to emit ultra violet light). Then white-yellow-red. I assume the vents at the front of the pack bring in air at the correct stoichiometric rate (fuel dependant), premixing in a combustion chamber (probably heated to further improve the reactivity) this gases then expand and are ejected out of the rear vent pressumably with the flames (unless they have some extremely good flame arrestors :) ) Anyhoo a lil bit of science for you, as its my degree a lil practise doesnt hurt :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebooter Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Why did you have to remind me of my Phys Sci exam? Its my holidays, i was happily ignoring the upcoming exams untill i got back to school. Damn you. That looks sweet though. I would have done the flames in a deep blue though to complement the yellow armour. Can't wait to see his accompanying squad.

BlackWolf Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 thanks for the coments guys. ya i know the colors are backwards, but they seem to look better that way. it seems i always get good feedback about Fists (other sites). but actually they are quite simple to paint...slightly time consuming, but if done in bulk very easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Sanctity Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I love the momentum. Sure beats my Imperial Fists Assault Captain. I used (just for the sake of having it)the old, rather dull Imperial Fists Captain model with a Jumpack added. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 He's Cool,Reminds me of Boba Fett launching off of Jabba's Barge ^_^ Also great painting of that cursed yellow color.... well done ;) Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Damn fine yellow if you ask me! And I think you're right about the flames: they might look awkward if you put the yellow of the flames next to the yellow of the jump pack. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Love the flames! :) Very cool conversion :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Lovin the mini, great work, well done :D The flames, although some folk say its the wrong way around. i think the flames look great as they are, especially with the more darker part of the 'flame' towards the jets as id imagine it would be cooking all sorts of dust particles and what not in there. Might have to yank this idea for my future assault marines. Any tips perhaps for us wannabes on how to accomplish a similar if not the same effect? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalifax Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Really loving that model! actually looks like he's thrusting forward towards the enemy, the yellow is superb as well :D Can i just ask how you did the flames? were they GS'd? :) Again a really nice model :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardante Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Sweet model. although I always pictured jetpacks working like turbine engines you find on 747's on a smaller scale. No flames. This is more like the rocketman jetpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWolf Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 well the old beercan jetpacks did, but just look at the bottom of the new jump packs...doesnt look like turbines to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
