Grand Master Belial Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I was thinking of having it on the other side. Basically the Shield is wrapped around the Multi-Melta instead of the Heavy Flamer. But I can see why the flamer is there. I think it would be difficult for a dread to pat out the burning promethium without damaging itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metheon Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I totally love the riot shield. Alot of inspiration to that thunderhammer/stormshield dreadnought conversion I've been wanting to do the last 6 years :nuke: Â Anyways, can you provide a close-up of how it looks from the other side?

Isiah Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 :P I have to agree that dread is pretty amazing. To be honest I wasn't all sure about that shield when I first saw it - but now finished and painted it is stunning.

Gillyfish Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Brilliant. I just love the way you've managed to get so much definition into the model and weathering without them detracting from one another. Gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I love this thread. You're an awesome painter. And damn! You're fast! Gotta go work on my ven dread now ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miazma Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Mh I'm also a beginner (well, have played and painted 12 years ago or so, buuut your models are really amazing). Why did you add the first 3 layers? So that bleached bones comes out that nice? :-) Â I'm also wondering if you firstly add inks or at first the main color... my inks (for example black ink on the hands of my space wolves aren't that nice. I'm also wondering how to paint yellow very nice. How would you layer a nice yellow (sunburst with highlights)? I've always had a first layer with shadow grey, then skull white and then 2 layers of sunburst yellow, but I think it could be way better... I just ask here, because you are such a great painter :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 As usual, that's amazing work! I remain stunned by your inhumanely awesome painting :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanSan Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 @miazma "Why did you add the first 3 layers? So that bleached bones comes out that nice? :-)" Thats correct. Perhaps there are more faster ways but i am happy with the result  "How would you layer a nice yellow " I use tausept ocre, then sunburst yellow and highlights with bleached bone  ok some new wips. http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu220/VanSan2/Scriptor.jpg http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu220/VanSan2/IMG_5556-1.jpg  http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu220/VanSan2/IMG_5558-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillyfish Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 A great deal - I think you've pulled that off very well, if I may say so. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Coming on nicely VanSan. looks like you're going the majority bone white route for your Libby and Chappy rather then their specialist colours... nice 'hellfire' by the way - or is it a Force Barrier?

VanSan Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 ok the model is finished and i am quite happy with the result! http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu220/VanSan2/Scriptorfertig.jpg http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu220/VanSan2/Scriptorfertig1.jpg  the skull is the hellfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor's Instrument Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 VanSan, I've already commended your work but having seen your Dreads and your most recent character mini more praise is warranted!!!! Â A magician with a paintbrush, I probably spend as much time on each mini as you but couldn't even hope to achieve the same results. Again, well done :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Great mini. I really like the overall look of your army, and look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Beautiful Librarian, Sir. The Psyskull is pretty awesome. The force weapon is probably one of the best I've seen on a DA librarian. Â Â Expertly done. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atra angelus Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ive got to agree, that Librarian is fantastic. The weapon, tubes/cables, the active power, the cloth hood, all extremely well done both in sculpt for the conversion work and painting for all of it. I cant wait to see the Int-Chap, the hood is again very well done and I imagine your version of that great sculpt may be even more impressive. Great libby, I was never a fan of the model till now, and despite proxying him multiple times now with great success I never wanted to buy one. I may have to look at doing so now that Ive seen a painted version I liked a lot. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
