Vash113 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I finished the model months ago but only got around to painting him a few days ago, it was my first attempt at true-scaling ish modeling and several other things and it turned out better than I expected, not up to the standards of many of the other brilliant Primarch projects floating around but a start, hope you guys like him.

I designed the model off of Corax's limited description in the Horus Heresy novel Fulgrim but while his wings were described as black I decided to paint them in gradually lighter shades of grey with each layer of feathers with a subtly lighter shade on the tips of the outer feathers to add some depth to them. The left Lightning Claw also didn't match the right in length or design so I wound up bulking up the claws with Green Stuff and while not magnificent on close inspection I'm moderately pleased with the results, more pleased than leaving the claws mis-matched. So there he is, hopefully whenever I attempt another Primarch it will be just as good a learning experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custodian Athiair Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 i didn't think that Corax had wings i thought only Sanguinius had wings it's a nice model though and a nice painting job i like the bases though :lol: Athiair :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyNidus Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 In Fulgrim, he is described as having Black Wings, granted i think his wings would be more mechanical wings :) Good Job Vash, the Model looks good, could work on the painting though. I like how it turned out :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 i didn't think that Corax had wingsi thought only Sanguinius had wings In Fulgrim Corax is described as having great black feathered wings instead of a traditional Jump Pack. In Fulgrim, he is described as having Black Wings, granted i think his wings would be more mechanical wings :) Good Job Vash, the Model looks good, could work on the painting though. I like how it turned out :) Thanks, as for the Wings I wanted them to be semi mechanical but not too much hense the backpack and armor plates however the description is of black feathers so I felt the wings couldn't be too mehanical. The end result worked fairly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
