Kaar Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Okay, first off, hi everyone. First post here, so be gentle! (Joking of course, I very much welcome constructive criticisms) Anyways, here's Brother-Sergeant Lucius of one of my Tactical squads for the army I just started, the Imperial Eagles Chapter. I'm actually a Tau player by nature, but the new rules and Codex made me really feel like a change. All I have left to do is the Chapter symbol on the banner, and of course, basing. Enjoy the pics! I'd really like to know what you guys think. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/stevenleedham/IMG_9328.png http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/stevenleedham/IMG_9331.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153038-raven-guard-splinter-the-imperial-eagles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulrikk Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 He looks very good. :D It's a nice, bold color scheme you picked. I think you should work a bit more on the banner. The purple hem doesn't follow the folds on the top very well and it really spoils the illusion of cloth.

Kaar Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hey, thanks for the compliments, guys! Ulrikk, how would you suggest cleaning the banner folds up? While I think I can do armour okay, I'm not very good at cloth yet.

IamJacksUserName Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I want to know what you took the pictures with. These are some of the best close up pictures of a miniature I have seen on this board.

ulrikk Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Well, in real cloth the border between the purple and white cloth wouldn't cross the folds. The border would run parallel to the folds. Try painting a purple, downward U-shape where the border lies on the top of one of the great folds, that should look about right. Just don't make the border cross the folds. It's kinda difficult to explain this. Really, it's a matter of looking at folds in cloth or looking at minis with banners until you understand the principles involved. :drool: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153038-raven-guard-splinter-the-imperial-eagles/#findComment-1784942 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaar Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 @Ulrikk: Thanks for the advice, I defiantly get what you're saying with the U-shapes. I'll poke around for a few examples @IAmJack: I actually have no idea. One of my best friends is a semi-professional photographer, so I ask him if he'd mind snapping a few shots of my minis one day. All I could tell you for sure was that, while I thought he was just going to have his camera, he brought his whole rig, complete with strobe and backdrops and reflectors and all manner of fancy things I held up while he took the shots. :woot: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153038-raven-guard-splinter-the-imperial-eagles/#findComment-1785286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retmonster Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 the only thing i want to point out is that the mould lines need to be cleaned up a bit better, :P but apart from that it looks great! keep up the good work :rolleyes: (i like pirates, thats why he's there! :blush: ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153038-raven-guard-splinter-the-imperial-eagles/#findComment-1785396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
