KBA Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hell :cussing yes! A shiny, clean thread! One which I hope to update more frequently with painted models :) This is great, I need to make a legion organization chart like yours, I wish I had the photoshop chops. Give it a shot man! I have no chops. That dossier was made in a photoshop knock off for mac, and everything is eye balled. That's a pretty great intro. If you put this much time in so far, I'm pretty jazzed to see the models. Thanks brother! Glad you enjoyed it. Will be hoping to finish Sarrn for tomorrow. I really need to buy a magnifying system for painting.

JeffTibbetts Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I've tried them and haven't been able to get much use out of them. It's good for seeing your work, but my hand-eye is all out of whack through the lens so I can't seem to paint well that way. Plus, getting something else in front of me doesn't work so well. I just end up holding the mini super close to my eyes when I do detail work.

I just end up holding the mini super close to my eyes when I do detail work. I can bring it in about 6 or 7 inches before what I'm looking at gets all blurry and I'm straining to focus, so I'm hoping it helps with that. Maybe I just need more practice with the brush; to feel out that steady hand and remember to breathe lol. Thanks for the heads up either way!

JeffTibbetts Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Sure! I found one at Target that was in a Black Friday gift set. On clearance.

Pyromancer Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Fantastic model KBA! I noticed the also noticed the pouches however, they look slightly unfinished. Perhaps a black wash would make help to tie them in with the beauty that is the rest of the model?

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 This is great inspiration for my budding Ravens, dude. I really like this guy. My only point of query would also be about the pouches, I think a brown would fit him better, but it's a minor point on a model I think looks great. Really like the mixed armour. Did you put a spacer at the waist?

KBA Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Count me subbed. Cool! The more people following, the more thick the icing on the cake becomes That is delightful. It looks like an updated RT era Beaky. Which is absolutely a winner in my book. I'm happy with the old school feel of it too. Making a heresy-era force that was mine and had a certain individuality to it is big a priority for me. @KBA "come on kill me I'm right here!"...funny you should say that: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/llltomlll/yer%20im%20a%20geek/IMAG0010_1_zps7cab8336.jpg Current project That mini looks great, when can we expect a whole squad?! Look at that stomp! Hurts so good lol well done. I've got two other armless/backpackless marines that will join him shortly. After a few grunts, I'm rewarding myself with a Contemptor Looking awesome man, my one gripe is the grey pouches, I feel like brown might compliment him better. Yeah, after Knight of The Raven called those out, I've been slowly converted to this line of thinking. And after painting one model up fully, the red and grey chevron provides enough spot color. Fantastic model KBA! I noticed the also noticed the pouches however, they look slightly unfinished. Perhaps a black wash would make help to tie them in with the beauty that is the rest of the model? Thanks! I'll be changing them This is great inspiration for my budding Ravens, dude. I really like this guy. My only point of query would also be about the pouches, I think a brown would fit him better, but it's a minor point on a model I think looks great. Really like the mixed armour. Did you put a spacer at the waist? Thanks BCA, and goodluck with your XIX. Don't be surprised if you find yourself growing your Ravens beyond 250-600 points . As for the height, He's been lengthened 1 mm at each leg (thigh-crotch area) and 2 mm in between the torso and the legs. EDIT: Oh, and 0.5-1 mm at the neck.
