GhostLegion Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Well...for better or for worse here is the primed model for my chapter master. Assembeling and resculping bitz was interesting enough...now I almost dread the prospect of painting it. um...any ideas on how to do marble or a good granite for the solid slabs on the base would be appreciated...

Pandora Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 This guy looks incredible. Sure pays off when you put a lot of time into converting a model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custodian Athiair Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 one question what (in game terms) does he have? oh and whats your colour scheme? (i know thats 2 but who cares ;)) Athiair :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJP Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 That model is officially bonkers... Hence why I award you two internets! Well done, he looks incredible, and I can't wait to see him painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurasuke Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 That is a totally incredible model. What does your army scheme look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostLegion Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 And here is the updated Chapter Master with about 3 hours of work in: That little bump on his back near the middle of the cloak is from the resculpting...oddly it matches almost perfectly with the sword across his back! (I hadnt noticed that until this picture) Thanks to all for the kind comments so far. Almost enough to get me to start plotting the next level of officers. I'm really dreading that banner. The chapter badge is easy, I have decals for that...but that banner is intimidatingly large...flat...and barren.... Beyond the painting, the fluff for him won't be much fun either I think. As to what he counts as, well I am looking through the special characters (the chapter masters) to see if one of their rule sets would make me smile. Otherwise, I have to count him as a master in artificer armor, likely with combat shield, power weapon, and master crafted plasma pistol...or maybe storm bolter...either adamantine mantle or iron halo would work too. In reality though I think I will wait for the new codex to fully define his kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch«•»Angel Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 wow! looks awesome. sure, you used alot of bits for it, but i think it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Very interesting model! :sweat: Do you have a name for him yet? And tell us when you have some DIY fluff ready... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekkanus Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I don't think it really matters how many bit's have been used to convert him. The point is he stand's out and i'm sure once he's fully painted he'll stand out even more. I'm simply in awe, as i don't usually get to see many DIY Chapter Masters!!!

Commissar Molotov Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I think it's an awesome and inventive conversion. Looking forward to seeing him completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostLegion Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Chapter fluff already exists...as does a somewhat worked up IA article (links available in sig.) This has been a long project for me, the army that is, this master has taken about a month to convert right and i only just started the paint job on him. Yes, he has a name, but I am working on his specific fluff first...I am not too happy with it yet, but it is coming along well. The thing I am trying to determine on this model is 1) what to do with the banner...im not used to working with large flat areas and my 2d skills are relatively weak. and 2) how to finish out the base. At first I was thinking the slab pieces of the base would do well in marble with the chapter badge broken up among the ruin. Now I am thinking more of granite (easier to paint) with the chapter badge in marble and bloodstone style broken among the slabs. in either case. thoughts and ideas on what I can do with that banner would be appreciated.

GhostLegion Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ghah...It has been waaay too long since I touched this guy, but I finally got back around to an update on him. I appologize for the picture quality...still, taking pictures has helped me see what I am doing here. Personally, I think I am having banner problems. I can paint the model well enough, but have serious issues freehanding/painting 2d areas. Fortunately, this actually looks better than I think it does...but not as good as I had hoped... As always, comments on this guy are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oknights Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Looks good, that is one of the most original models I have ever seen. As far as the banner it is not looking that bad, I also paint banners and other things on a flat surface then I paint it on the model. Well with the new codex, what does he count as now?

GhostLegion Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 To be honest, I am not even thinking about rules yet...still working through getting the model right. This is turning into the closest I have come to getting the idea from my head and into painted plastic...you really dont want to see the rubble pile Ive built up on this fig...
