lt.rasczak Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Well here is a little start on my Lucius model, all he needs is a head which should be coming soon. I'll be on vacation for the next few weeks and won't be getting any work done but he should get finished in mid july. Just wanted to post something so i would have a little motivation when i got back. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/lucius1.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/lucius2.jpg Thanks for looking.

lt.rasczak Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'll be using a bare eldar guardian head, painted with fair skin and light hair, I think it matches the Horus Heresy books description of the apperance of the ECs. He is meant to be a preheresy lucius so he's not going to look to chaotic, I just want to bring out his arrogance with the model, hence the lack of a ranged weapon and the pointing finger challenging someone.

DuskRaider Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I also believe he had a weapon similar to a fencing sword. Other then that, looks nice! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139465-lucius-wip/#findComment-1612507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.rasczak Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'm going for an early look, pre-Ullanor when the ECs were still fighting with the Luna Wolves, so he won't have scars. Also I read in Horus Rising that the sword that Lucius used is an antique long sword from the unification wars. It is said to have a rather long handle so that he could use it two handed if he desired. I know the sword is a bit big but I like it and I think that a smaller sword or a fencing style sword would make the model look unimpressive. Thanks for the input.

Dammeron Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Very, very pretty thus far! Is this going to be Lucius BEFORE he's taken to ritually scarring his own face?

DarKHaZZ13 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 thats already been answerd lol... it looks good, paint job wise but too plain for lucius if you know what i mean It is just basically the company champion model... so it needs abit more... va-va-voom?

esinhorn Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 That sword is perfect if you are going by the sabertooth pic. He also had a mini serf guy in the background holding his helmet which looks just like Dante's head Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139465-lucius-wip/#findComment-1613144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.rasczak Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hello all, It has been a long time since I have updated. In that time I have moved from Austin TX to Dallas TX and started medical school, so now that I have absolutely no time to paint updates will be few and far between. I finished my Lucius. I used the picture on page 183 of the HH Collected Visions book for inspiration. It came out ok but I think the face looks a little to old and grizzled to portray Lucius. I may change it in the future if I can find a face I like. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/tmpphpx6hAiN.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/tmpphpNV48Nk.jpg I also started working on my Fabius. Hes based on the picture in the HH book and Proximity's lovely model. I would like to thank him for the inspiration, and I hope he doesn't get too mad that I ripped off his model, its just so damn good though. He still needs a power sword and a back pack that will hopefully come soon. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/tmpphpbG5Rd8.jpg And here is me Eidolon http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/tmpphp7cPVBy.jpg Thanks for looking and C&C are welcome as always.

Zeke Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Good work. For some reason i always pictured Lucius with long hair. Still, excellent job. -Zeke Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139465-lucius-wip/#findComment-1672717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha PTP Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Wow. I really likes those models. I wish the purple was blended up to the final highlight rather than a stark highlight. Good job otherwise. I would also suggest doing a few thinned down washes of Gyphonne Sepia.

lt.rasczak Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Thanks for the comments. Alpha PTP: What areas are you suggesting the Sepia wash for? I used it on the tabard for Lucius and on the gold areas. The faces already have a wash. The purple is already washed. It is Warlock Purple with a heavy coat of Leviathan purple highlighted with tentacle pink.

Brother Captain Aruis Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 How do you paint the gold areas? Look nice. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139465-lucius-wip/#findComment-1673004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0NEW0LF Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 very nice indeed! ironically i think the head you used for fabius would have worked better for lucius as it has a more arogant look to it's face and it seems i'm not the only one who pictured lucius with longer hair Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139465-lucius-wip/#findComment-1673078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.rasczak Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Brother Captain- The gold is done with a base of tin bitz. Then the raised areas are painted with two thin layers of burnished gold to keep it thin on the details and finally the edges are highlighted with mithril silver.

Brother Captain Aruis Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Another question where did you get that skull and wing for the shoulder pad? I trying to find it for my PH project.

lt.rasczak Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 The skull on the wing is from the Command squad box set and is this cut to fit the shoulder pad Skull bit I have finished Fabius http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/tmpphp9CIJ3l.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/tmpphp5jzk8z.jpg C&C always welcome.

Brother-chaplain Astador Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I LOVE your fabius, looks exactly like the artwork from the HH artwork book. While Lucious is nicely painted I feel that he does not stand out enough individually as the charachter should, to me he feels abit like a generic sergent, I also think the head you have chosen for him is too...old looking, from the books I always got from Lucious charachter that he was youthful- at least by marine standards if you know what I mean, but then maybe thats just me, I also feel the sword is a little too big blade wise, shuld be thinner BUT, very good models nonetheless, would like to see some more Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139465-lucius-wip/#findComment-1692733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons of Horus Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 nice so far but i think that fabius head looks more like a lucius head :P i imagined lucius to have long hair and probably blond.

Terminatorinhell Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 i love the fabius but not too crazy on lucius, maybe change the head and he may look better.

Hasoroth Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Digging the models, the Lucius with cropped grey hair didn't fit in with what I envisaged Lucius as looking like, but it definitely works ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139465-lucius-wip/#findComment-1693042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
