Brother Captain Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I've posted him on many forums but you can never get enough criticism and ideas. :D I tried to improve my painting and escpecially my metalics on that mini. It's been pretry exhausting but nearing completion now. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Henchman%20-%20priest/IMG_0003.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Henchman%20-%20priest/IMG_0001.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Henchman%20-%20priest/IMG_0002-3.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Henchman%20-%20priest/IMG_0005-3.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Henchman%20-%20priest/IMG_0007-2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Henchman%20-%20priest/IMG_0030.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Henchman%20-%20priest/IMG_0033-1.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Henchman%20-%20priest/IMG_0035-2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161294-inquisitorial-henchman/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This is one of the simplest, if not the simplest Inquisitorial conversions I've seen, with great results too. I'll be watching for the finished product! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161294-inquisitorial-henchman/#findComment-1893483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 I see that replies fly faster than bolter shells! Thanks for your kind words brothers. @ Kuchinawa: I'd like to try the 'Eavy Metal skin tutorial shown in the February UK White Dwarf. It seems quite masochistic...which is good. :P @ Darth Potato:GW is helping me here by never producing a henchman I like (well except for the scribe in Coteaz's retinue). :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161294-inquisitorial-henchman/#findComment-1893494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry Havok Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Very nice conversion, I'm just surprised you left the sigmar symbol on there. HERESY!

Uncle Mel Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 i agree nice subtle conversion with the icons, but should've filed off the comets though :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161294-inquisitorial-henchman/#findComment-1893703 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelmas Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I personally like the comet, even though its a sigmarite symbol it looks a little like a termagaunt head to me >.> Maybe its some mystical birthmark which lead him to seek out an inquisitor and start working for him and such.

Brother Captain Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 I knew the comets were going to atract a lot of comments. :) I'm using the obvious, classic and overused fluff loophole: "Well he comes from a planet where they worship the Emperor as a brght star/commet and he kept the heraldry of his homeworld." Translation: "Hey they look kinda coll and I'm too bored to fille them off" Yes, I know I'm awfull... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161294-inquisitorial-henchman/#findComment-1893940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCCOJake Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 You said you tried to improve your metallics, well, whatever they looked like before they are absolutely gorgeous now. The color combination is great too, the gold and sliver with some red and that every so subtle blue... fantastic. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see him finished Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161294-inquisitorial-henchman/#findComment-1893987 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Suddenly my own Inquisitorial offering seems I don't know, amatuer (sp?) Very nice work on the metallics and face.

Brother Captain Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Finished! Thanks everybody for your kind words and encouragement. I reworked the eyes and fixed some mistakes.

ToyShip Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I like what you've done. I thought it might have been cool to leave his head black, with the gold twin tailed comet and all. Then you would have to sculpt over his mouth so that it seemed like he had a mask on, sort of assassainy. It would just be different, sort of Blanche-esque if you know what I mean.

Brother Captain Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 The mask is a really nice idea but realy I don't think I could have pulled it off paintingwise. I had no idea how to paint and shade it to look realistic. It would be a good idea if I had sculpted a mask with lenses where eyes are. Maybe when my skills progress a bit... :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161294-inquisitorial-henchman/#findComment-1906023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry Havok Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Amazing model, and besides my dislike of the sigmar symbols I'd have gone with a reddish-purple around the eyes, the blue makes him look creepy.

Brother Captain Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Amazing model, and besides my dislike of the sigmar symbols I'd have gone with a reddish-purple around the eyes, the blue makes him look creepy. Actually for my next henchman I was planning a lighter wash on the face and a glaze of leviathan purple around the eyes. After I finish each mini I try to see what could be improved and apply it to the next model. Hopeffully each henchman will be a little better than the previous. Sounds good in theory; let's see how it'll work out. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161294-inquisitorial-henchman/#findComment-1906664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
