Angelos Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Really nice stuff Lunch, the Castigator is looking excellent, as well as the masters. :) Thanks...we gonna see you in Chicago this year (again)? Yup, Im helping run a club table this year, so you may see me around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 As some of you may know, I put the Castigator on hold. I will finish it, but not for the Demon comp. There were too many errors that would require stripping and desassembling the model to fix...and I fear I'll run out of time. So, I spent some time last night on the Librarian, started the weapon, started the back of the cape, and touched up a few spots on the armor. The cape still has work to be done on it, but it's coming along nicely I think. My shade colors seem to be fading a lot after I glaze them in, so I'm having to add more layers than expected. I'm also open to freehand suggestions...and I suck at freehand! I've also decided that I like this model well enough, and it's pleasing enough to look at that I will make this my 40K single entry. That will make my open entry 3 Masters of the Chapter. Anyway, here it is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/libbiewip3-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Good choice I say. Awesome work Lunchbox. If you don't want to go at it too much with freehand, you could do some golden scroll work in the bottom right corner (on his right side) as in NMM golden eagle an golden embroidery branching out along the edges of the cloak. You could do it very small. It would add a lot to the look of the cloak in my opinion, but it wouldn't be like an insane picture on the back of his cloak.

Iago Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I like how the hood is so smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelos Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I think an aquilla would be pretty nice to do, Maybe something like Bennet did on his Acon entry. But without the divide, or you could take the eagles halfs and flip them and put them on the ends of the cloak facing in. Might look cool http://www.adepticon.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=4622 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Minds Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Maybe a big ultramarine's U on the cape. I feel as if there are enough aquillas on the model as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Maybe a big ultramarine's U on the cape. I feel as if there are enough aquillas on the model as is. Might be a good idea if he was an Ultra...but I think I have it figured out to add a horned skull to the back of the cape...fitting the Librarian symbol. I think off of that I'll add some scroll work...we'll see. Tonight has been a great one, as all my blends seem to have been effortless, and I was able to make a lot of progress. I think I can have the Librarian done in a week at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor =D= Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Woo! Go Lunchbox! The horned skull would look interesting for sure but don't you feel it would be out of place with your army? My girlfriend seems to think that it looks good as is though it may seem bland. And I kind of agree. Something simple yet... I will have to think more on this. Happy Painting. =D= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turelhim vampire Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think maybe a bit of filigree along the bottom of the cape would be enough, rather than the horned skull. Maybe in the blue/purple of the armour, or in the gold of the staff. Either way I am sure you'll do an excellent job. Just out of interest. Have you ever considered making a movie of you painting a mini from start to finish, to show us noobs how it's done? Your tutorials are fantastic and so are your photos, but words and still images can only show so much, and with skill like yours words just don't quite cover it. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 me! I expect the Librarian to be done at the gaming night! haha I want to finish my chaplain today, it is down to the jump pack and freehand work! :P Go! Go! Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a gold design on the front, and a blueish on the back...just enough to show the judges I care. ;) As for a video...I've thought of it, but there's one tiny little problem; it's taking me about 60+ hours each to do these models. I'd really have to condense the content down. The only possible way I could do it is by making a disc...the download time and file size would prevent anything but a hard copy. The other pesky little problem is that I live in the "sticks"...I only have dial up. ;) =]D[=: The librarian won't stay in my army...he'll be headed for ebay after GD Chicago. Starks...you're a bit silent these days...am I getting better, or are you getting tired of coaching...or even worse...now that you're a multiple Golden Demon god...have you resigned to watch all of us fledglings wallow in our failures? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what ya have to do I guess. Idk... Maybe I'm just silly in my thoughts that if my army looked that dang good I'd hold onto it forever! ;) Ah I'm sure whatever you come up with look good. Just leave the pointy skulls to the traitors. Lol... (p.s. I Like how you put my sig down... Might just add the ] and [ in there.

turelhim vampire Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I dunno then, maybe just a few snippets uploaded to youtube or something. My digital camera does video and pretty well at close range, and it cost me... £120. Still, I see what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Here's more progress on the Librarian. The weapon seems a bit flat to me...any suggestions are welcome on that. I just started the book before I went to bed last night. I also reworked the base to include a rotting, demonic head. The base will include a putrid soup of nasty water...I've never done a real water base before, so we'll see how it turns out. I bougt some clear resin to try it out...Golden Demons is all about pushing yourself, and trying new things! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/libbiewip4-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angerforce Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Beautiful work man. Never been a fan of the whole NMM hysteria here on B&C but done subtile, like on your models, it looks beautiful!

cathar the great Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 i can't help it, the libby looks like he is still missing something, but i don't know what. what kind of backpack (+banner?) will he get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor =D= Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Could the horns on the staff be black maybe? Might add a little to it. Cathar your crazy genius! I hadn't even noticed the backpack was missing. Lol.. :sweat: Yeah Lunchbox, what about the pack? Surely it must be grand? =]D[= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 urgh :sweat: i didn't mean the backpack was missing (even though i know it is), but the overall mini seems to lack a little something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Quit rushing me, damnit! :) I'm on my 4th backpack idea...I got it filed and sanded yesterday, and after all the deliberation I went through, a standard pack with a banner will do the trick. I had a bunch of cooler banners to use, but they were all 'flowing' the wrong direction...so i had to choose a blank, boring one. I'll have to freehand some goodness on it...bleh. But...again...the Demons are all about trying new things. I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 the shoulder holding the book looks like it might do with more shadow along the bottom the skull on the staff could use more tones, i think i see the yellows "reflecting" on it, but maybe some more colour to break up the plain tone it has currently and help define the shape a bit more...some blues and browns(red or green browns or orangey) othewise looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
