konskrypt Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Have been trying to get this figure sorted for a while, as wasn't sure i could do it justice. However this is what I have managed to come up with. Please let me know what you think. Be honest http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/Pict0083.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/Pict0084.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/Pict0085.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/Pict0086.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/Pict0087.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/Pict0089.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/Pict0088.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/Pict0090.jpg Forgive the quality of the pics Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Tzeen Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 from what i can see from the pics, that looks great :P ..inspired by the Spawn and Batman films maybe? ;) (batman for the obvious, and Spawn for the way the cape is) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It shows a lot of promise, actually - I wish you just had better pics of the Marine! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dehumanizer Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 He looks very cool, though tbh it lacks detail. some more batlike emblems on the greaves and shoulders would do the trick I think. The base looks very cool, I see this batmarine standing in the moonlight watching over unsuspecting hive people. Did you use that batmarine drawing as inspiration? I know I saw something like that on here some time ago. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpudWhitman Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Excellent work on the base. That type of Aquila architecture is prevalent throughout Hive Gotham, is it not? Nice job on the cape as well.

konskrypt Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 As an addition to this, am looking for some advice on the painting of The Bat. Don't wanna end up with a standard black all over. Had thought of dark blue, but not overly sure on how to go about it Help/advice would be appreciated Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Looks very cool, just would be nice to have better pictures :woot: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiss Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 In terms of painting, you could do a cell-shaded type thing with a blue/purple as in the comics. I think that would look quite cool. Alternatively, you could go for the retro look of gray... :drool: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Why not try doing him in black but highlighting with blue instead of grey? Seen that on some Black Templars around here and it looks good, don't think he would look too great in grey colours :drool: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I can't believe no-one has done this yet: NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BATMAN! Love the base by the way.

konskrypt Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Temp fix Bats to base. Made a paper template to get rough shape. Rolled gs out with rolling pin, getting it thin (not keen on the thickness GW does them) Used paper template, cut out gs, let cure for 1/2 hour, cut edging. Draped on model in rough shape, then tidied up slightly. Then placed the base laying down, on top of a cupboard, so cape was hanging in the open. Then left to cure, every so often check positioning. Left overnight Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dehumanizer Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I noticed that he doesnt have a weapon. will you add one or will you keep him unarmed? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
konskrypt Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Am considering putting a batarang type thing on his utility belt. As would like to keep to the Batman ethos of him not using an actual gun. As he uses fear, guile and cunning as weapons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1596550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_rob Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Liking that Post pics of when it all painted Plus.. How you do such good green stuff? Grrr All I can do with it is VERY simple gap feeling (Blobbing it in) And blobs under foot to stick men to un-even bases :-( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1597330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Dropout Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 To be honest... the pics dont do justice, but from what I can perceive, Bat's gonna say otherwise :good: (and the cape is ace ;) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1597395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion in the Stars Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 What's wrong with the gray suit? The Animated Series costume looks really sharp (and is easier to paint, too!), and would look better on a mini than unrelieved black.

Brother Karr Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I say a paint job much like the Azrael Batman would look awsome. Or black with blue highlights Weapon wise he needs to have some kind of sword or thunderhammer. Just kind of thinking along the lines of batman begins ending with the sword fight or as you said no weapons but batterangs and grenades and psychic bolt (he would be a high level inquisitor) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1597763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
konskrypt Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thanks for the praise!!! I'm not that great with gs, but thanks to those who think i am With respect to colour scheme (such as it is lol) Which of these do you think?? http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/ARPMN2DCAI4VF8NCA5HS66NCA6K2KP9CAHH.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/images.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/konskrpyt/images1.jpg Oh @ Brother Karr forgive my ignorance but Azreal Batman??

Commissar Molotov Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I presume he means when Jean-Paul Valley became the Batman for a while after Bane broke Bruce Wayne's back. Check this and this for examples of his costume. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138313-the-bat/#findComment-1597837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
