Rune Priest Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 This model isn't GW, but it is based on Sanguinius and stands about 2" tall. I painted him for a client of mine who is having me paint a bunch of his primarch minis. http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1654/139/46/558573643/n558573643_1351316_5010.jpg http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1654/139/46/558573643/n558573643_1351315_4247.jpg Some WIP shots http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v300/139/46/558573643/n558573643_808281_5331.jpg http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics13/img48b31c092fb61.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FateSealer Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 He looks great! The armor looks so detailed, well done. However, because the armor has such defined shadows, it makes the wings look too flat. Perhaps some shading would improving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 yeah, the wings pissed me off a bit. I guess it's just lack of experience on my part. I couldn't find the right technique to make them work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 BTW, if anybody is willing to help me out, colminiornot.com is gathering up all entries which averaged 8.0 or above and this Sanguinius was chosen. The only problem is, the WIP shots of it were given an 8.3 while the final shots (the ones in this thread) currently have a 7.9.

cathar the great Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 What seperates the model from an outright ten are the wings I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuchinawa Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I really really like it! Not a huge blood angel fan, but this looks amazing. Hope to see more ;) And your avatar: it's unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I think it looks fantastic. As for the wings, if you want to improve them, why not look at some pictures of black and/or white birds? Look for nice patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 good idea. sadly, my customer has the model in our local (well, not for me) gaming store's display case. i could ask for it back, but he's already commissioned me to paint up Magnus the Red for him... I can't wait to post him for you (once he gives the the model this saturday, that is...). I do like using what's natural. You can't be more accurate, really.

Seva Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Wings are a pain to do. That model looks great man! The red is nice and subtle and all the details are looking good. My favorite are the gems. Good work man, that's one sweet Sanguinius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
