Terminatorinhell Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Hi guys my chapter command is done :D a long 5 month project is finally done! (the models existed before but some were renovated) Left to Right: Banner Bearer Arman, Company Champion Armin, Chapter Master Ryoto, Ayame, and Apothecary Pallas. Ryoto now has a sweet relic blade to replace his fragile messed up halberd! http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC01059.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC01060.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC01061.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC01063.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC01064.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x127/TerminatorOfHellsing/DSC01065.jpg Enjoy, the camera flash may be a bit harsh.... <_< ... just tell me if you want no flash pics. cheers :P Edited March 7, 2009 by Terminatorinhell Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162605-crimson-guardians-chapter-command/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Corvus Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 That captain looks scary as hell! :D Great work on making him look bulkier. The company champion and the apothecary looks very good as well, I really like the champions weapon, the shield is impressive as well. Overall, a great squad, but one question. Why did you include a Female? I dont mean that in a "I detest all female marines" way, Im just curious. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162605-crimson-guardians-chapter-command/#findComment-1911954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hiyas, She's isn't a marine she's an Android. but its well tied into the fluff :) Cheers TiH Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162605-crimson-guardians-chapter-command/#findComment-1911957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Corvus Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) That sounds like a pretty cool idea, interesting way of avoiding the female marine issue. :) That and she has a pretty nasty sword. The standard bearer is impressive. The banner free-hand is of the captain I presume?

Xaret Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 These models are pretty awesome dude :) You've taken time to work on the conversions, and painting, and it's well worth the blood sweat and tears you've put in. Impressive Chapter command, one of the best I've seen Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162605-crimson-guardians-chapter-command/#findComment-1912072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gafgarion Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 First of all, it is great to see your force is already very original. However there are a few pretty basic things you could be doing to make your models a lot better. What size brush are you using? from the looks of some of the details, like your commander's cape and the freehand on his chest that look like you used a thick brush. Try a smaller size for the finer details and do not be afraid to correct the design when it gets a bit broad. Are you thinning your paints? Some areas look quite thick, but that could be the GS sculpting. The highlights on the black armour are very large and messy. Practice keeping a steady hand as you trace the edges with a smaller brush for your highlights. I know it is difficult to give black depth, but it seems like you overcompensate. Let me offer this tutorial on painting black by someone much wiser than I. http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2009/02/pa...ack-legion.html Marine armour is a great way to practice highlights, remember to keep them crisp! It'll really make your minis 'pop'. Finally, what colour red do you want the armour to be? do you want it to be blood red, like the Blood Angels? Or a deep maroon. I can see that you're probably using scab red and going up to blood red, but I can't really find an 'inbetween' colour. Either way, the red could definately use a few extra coats of thin paint. Blood red is a hard colour to really get consistent but go over it as many times as you can with watered down red, my current army has many red details and taking time to make a consistent red colour really pays off. Areas of note in regards to this are the back and front of the banner, the greaves of your apothecary and the freehand on the top of the champion's shield. Your models are bristling with imagination, so take the time and the patience to make them really sharp. :woot: Hope to see more of your stuff.

Terminatorinhell Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 the gs may be the problem especially on Ayame, the paint it self is watered down like uh... milk? and as of late i have been going back and fixing highlights and trying new red recipes.
