Gareth Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Painted this guy to be as close a match to 4th Company Captain Uriel Ventris. Obviously I had to embellish it with more details and colours. But i'm really happy with this model and will probably use it despite the lousy weapon configuration. The sword is larger then a standard powersword... might even be the rumoured str6 relic blade. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Gareth_tyranids/Ultramarines/SA400001-2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Gareth_tyranids/Ultramarines/SA400002-2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Gareth_tyranids/Ultramarines/SA400003-2.jpg More pics of Assault on Black Reach can be seen here before anyone asks. http://www.thepainteddragon.co.uk/forum/in...hp?topic=1193.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NautiusMaximus Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Nicely done, but I thought the sword's blade was gold. You know, like Isenhart's Lightbrand in Diablo 2. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b88/Telvanni_Guard/Diablo%202/4d757e86.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardus Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Wow! great work on the whole army. Really like your power sword method, simple but very effective. I might just have to use it too :devil: The hair and stubble are very well done too. Ardus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 That is awersome there is nothing i can say to improve it Thanks. Dude ... Now I want one!! This is a beautiful job! :cry: Cheers :eek :huh: Aw shucks. Nicely done, but I thought the sword's blade was gold. You know, like Isenhart's Lightbrand in Diablo 2. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b88/Telvanni_Guard/Diablo%202/4d757e86.jpg No idea what you're on about? is it a geek joke I don't get? ;) Stunning :tu: these for a personal project? Would you mind posting the sergeant you did? I love his head, any chance of a tutorial/recipe? Pics of the serg (and all the other AOBR box contents) are in the link at the start of this thread. Tutorial should be coming to the painted dragon soon (as i'm getting asked a lot for skin). how'd you get him so early? Apparently GW mail order sent it out when they shouldn't have. Just lucky I guess. Wow! great work on the whole army. Really like your power sword method, simple but very effective. I might just have to use it too :D The hair and stubble are very well done too. Ardus. I would be interested in seeing how you get on with the powerswords. :tu: Thats just the thing i need to inspire me to get back to my ultra's well done gareth! and i love the dedication to 4th Co ^_^ it seems your Ultra's inspire many here... and great photo skills as well,very crisp and clear,any secrets there? Mithril I'm glad they inspire. I'm trying to break the stereotype that UM are for noobs, and trying to give my gaming army a little bit extra care and attention. No secret to the photography. Stick it on a tripod, and use macro mode and the timer to eliminate all camera shake. I quickly colour correct it in photoshop as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Tiger Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 awesome paint job, its nice to know that it reality and painted by someone better than the Eavy Metal team, that model can look good. (just sayin cus the Paint job GW gave it makes the model look like something I left in the toilet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (just sayin cus the Paint job GW gave it makes the model look like something I left in the toilet) Well it was left in the Golden Throne... that's why it's called a Relic Blade :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_bunny Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Brilliant! Looks great, your green looks good with blue too, that being a pretty damn hard thing to gain. I would be aggrivated that some lucky people got it early, but I get 1/3 off being a retailer and all :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMullet Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 you could use superior skill (wouldn't take much of it) to make it a storm bolter or combi-bolter, thus making the weapons layout better Also AWSOME painting that is all (edit: forgot the n't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 A very nicely painted miniature. Any chance you can give me the recipe for the blue for the armour? I've got a bunch of the newer Marine Veterans and fancy painting them as smurfs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
