Terminatorinhell Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 well apparently the ML have been sent out to assist the Crimson Guardians in heavy support so I made a heavy bolter guy, everything on him is nearly done except the white which is the gray parts, I wonder how to paint the white and I need to get a pot of it as well. and you get a sneak peak at my Chosen asp. champ http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC00845.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC00846.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC00847.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155509-mentor-legion-marine-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazakelXIII Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Well, the green on the Mentor looks good, but the metals and the winged skull especially are a massive improvement over some of your older stuff. :tu: Your paints are definitely noticeably thinner, and your highlights are definitely smooth and for the most part in the right places (the crevices between the backpack and the exhaust node things seem an unusual place to highlight - if anything it should be darker), you should probably start either using a smaller brush or at least just taking more time with it. As for the white, for a color scheme like the Mentors', I'd've started with white primer in the first place, but from where you are (I'm assuming that's Codex?), I'd just go up to Space Wolves and then take it up to Skull White and give it a very light wash of Asurmen Blue. :) As for the champion - not much to say yet, paintwise. Are the wings final, though? Because while the paint's definitely thinner, it still looks decidedly quite messy, especially on the bony "finger" areas - you got a lot of blue on the metal. Not sure if that was intentional or not... Otherwise, the conversion looks good... and yet it's somehow... eerily familiar... :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155509-mentor-legion-marine-wip/#findComment-1816375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aNex88 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Green looks decent. I usually prefer my highlights to be thinner. Try using a thinner paint brush. I might add a further highlight of 75:25 green to white on the outermost edges of the green armour. As for the white, I'd probably do what Raz suggested. I'm somewhat iffy about the wings; I personally think he could do without, but that's just my preference. I like to keep things simple and leave the cool-stuff for my characters.

Terminatorinhell Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 well for the white im trying codex grey up to skull white and then with a blue wash and for the champs wings, they aren't final, they were ripped off one of my old models.

Terminatorinhell Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I got the white on him but now i have to go back and do a little grey lining, but the white looks really good!

THE FATED FITH Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Okay i have never really wanted to comment on yours because as i am not a brilliant painter myself i dont want to go round criticising others... but compared to your previous stuff this is SOOO much better.

Keep It up ;) T.F.F Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155509-mentor-legion-marine-wip/#findComment-1817129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 You're getting much better! Woo! I like the white, the green, the metal, there's nothing to really criticise. Well done, let's see some more of these. ;) EDIT: Comma.

RazakelXIII Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 That Mentor looks great! Not sure about the Champion - pics are kinda blurry and the glow from his eyes bugs me (could use a brighter spot right where the eyes themselves are) - but the lightning looks fantastic. VERY well done. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155509-mentor-legion-marine-wip/#findComment-1817331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Sternguard sergeant Ohmid put his helmet on and it sealed hermetically to his armor, this was going to be a long battle, his bronzed face dark mustache and coal black eyes were hidden in the emotionless helmet and he roared as he and his battle brothers rushed to confront the tides of chaos marines. the name Ohmid is a Persian name for "hope" given to males. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC00863.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC00864.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC00866.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC00868.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155509-mentor-legion-marine-wip/#findComment-1817424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
