fet Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hola chaps, I haven't posted on here in a few years because I haven't been painting marines, but I've just recently finished this unpleasant fellow: Judas, a Dark Apostle. I was trying out a few new techniques, and pretty much settled on doing a Dark Apostle so I could work on my red. It's not quite right, but it's definitely an improvement on my older work. You can't really see it in the pictures, but he's walking up some rubble built up against the back of a fallen statue of a chaplain; I rather like the interplay between the model and his base. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/amasafet/judas_front.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/amasafet/judas_shoulder.jpg Comments, criticisms, witticisms?

The Angelus Sanctus Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 We are not worthy!! :) Great work there fet. Nice to see some WFB Chaos parts really coming into play on WB models/armies. I used the same arm for my Dark Apostle as well. Very nicely done and executed ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messanger of Death Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 WOW!!! Just awesome. Even after your break of not painting marines your amazing at painting them. Messanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 what arm is that mace arm anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlerook Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Excellent Dark Apostle, almost makes me want to have some Word Bearers (almost :D ) The Mace arm is from the Chaos Knights boxed set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XKhalilX Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 simply amazing job. the oxidizing blue green on the mace looks awesome, and the book standard is PERFECT. Looks so real. His face details are exceptional. EXCELLENT JOB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriarch Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Wow. I love the grizzly aura it emits. The face especially gives it that extra menacing feel. I think you hit the red bang on. Although the left shoulder pad does look a bit of a flat colour. -Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazakelXIII Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 *bows before this most glorious son of Lorgar* Awesome painting and conversions, love all the verdigris and his face in particular (nice use of Zhufor's head). :angry: The left shoulderpad definitely does look rather flat, though. EDIT: Actually, might I ask what bit the book on his chest is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fet Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Thanks, guys. Terminatorinhell: The mace arm is indeed from the fantasy chaos knights. There are some awesome bits in there; well worth a look. I also sculpted a ridge down the power fist to match with the style of ridge on his wrist from that kit. Patriarch: Yeah, the red on the shoulder is a bit flat; it's a little better in person, but I got the lighting slightly off, so it only properly shows from behind. RazakelXIII: I'm not sure where the book comes from; I bought the 'books set' from GW, which is one of the few bitz packs they still do. It comes with loads of books, as well as the skull I used as the basis for the chaplain statue's helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Disciple Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 WoW, the Dark Gods smile on you brother. Actually thinking about the Word Bearers are going through something of a renassance on this board ^_^ That is an amazing peice of work! I definatly agree about the book. I'll have to sift through the GW bitz catalogue B) The chain is very nice, and I love the face. Do you have any more sons of Lorgar to show us?

Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Just plain awesome! How did you make this verdigris effect? Tchezz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fet Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Dark Disciple: Sorry, no other Word Bearers. I don't really play anymore, I just paint. If I do another marine, I'll try to remember to post it here. Grand Master Tchezzarus: Basically, I paint the bronze up (brazen brass, shaded down with charadon granite, gradually mixing in a little scaly green and black for the darker shadows, highlighting with brazen brass, shining gold, then adding a touch of mithril), then use lots of super-thin layers of a scaly green + skull white mix (around 80:20, I suppose, but I do it by eye), then a final touch of ice blue + skull white (50:50ish) for the spots where water would collect. Let me know if you need more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotgunFacelift Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Very Brutal! I like the blood drip effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 THe model is simply awesome, the painting skill you have really brings the whole feel of Judas alive! ALso love the dripping blood effect on the maul and i feel the stance you have put him in really looks good. One of the best models i have seen in a long time. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks for the recipe! I'll try it on a bronze statue of the emperor (objective marker for my GK)! Tchezz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argon Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 All hail Dark Apostle Judas, son of Lorgar and Bearer of the Word! :devil: That is beyond amazing. Hopefully my skills will match yours many years from now. Though I kinda doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
