Angels_Blade Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hey everyone, not posted for a while as i have been hard at work painting my battlefleet gothic fleet and putting the final touches to my jump pack chaplain for my Knights Scorpio. Anyway, my local GW is having a painting comp on saturday so I thought i'd have a go at something different. I really love Jes Goodwin's early marine mini's especially those featured in the Angels of Death Codex. Tycho being one of my favourites meaing that he would be the one I attempted. The one thing that I noticed about the 2nd edition marines is the importance of the banners so obviously i had to make a big thing out of Tycho's It is all freehand and I'm so proud of how it turned out. The rest of the model is ok but i'd be eager to hear your comments. Anyway here he is; http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381129.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381137.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381138.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381139.jpg C&C Welcome Cheers AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 By the Emperor... :) Okay, that model rocks, especially the banner. Can't believe it's freehand, it's stunning stuff. If I had a gripe it'd be the face - the skintones seem to blend too well into the armour, maybe making it dtand out a bit would help :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
det Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 really nice!! IMHO though, if you painted the soft armour (i'm thinking of the part behind the kness) of another colour it would be more realistic and nicer. I don't see soft armour as being metallic...hope you understood what i mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 absolutely awesome, that banner is first rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRCHAOS Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Thats a realy nice mini you have there but I think the base is letting it down a lot. I dont know if you have used a wash on the Gold armour, but a coat of Devlan Mud would do it wonders. Plus the soft armour parts at the back of the knees could be done in a diferent colour. Priority is to snaz that base up a bit more! :P That Banner is Exellent :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this model although I think the armor could be a little more gold like more yellowy (which i'm sure isn't a word) but it's your model! Love it man, you do the Blood angels proud.

Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 The work you did on the mini is amazing! And I mean it. gold color is something I've got a LOT of difficulty with. But I do have a problem with the base : The "blue thing" you paint on it look like water, and just next to Tycho left foot it climb up and down... making the whole look kind of strange. Maybe just dig canal so the water seem to flow more naturally? just my to cents, Tchezz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I like the Deathcompany-Tycho more, but that is outstanding work! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 That is great but as otehrs have said I feel the soft armour needs to be a different colour. The banner is brilliant, love it! How did you do the banner then? I'm naff at freehand so a couple of tips would be nice ^_^ (I am also one of the others who prefer Tycho in Death Company colours).

I don't see soft armour as being metallic...hope you understood what i mean! I agree too. From the back, he almost looks like a bronze/gold statue.
