skarekrow Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 so some weeks ago i started a thread in the WIP section (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showtopic=164492) about my mortifactors. so to see some in progress pics of this just look there however, i painted this for the GW stockholm painting competition and grabbed first place in the 40k single category. here he is, Telion in Mortifactor colours, i will use him as Telion when the points allow me to. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/Telion-collage.gif excuse my pretty bad pics...but this is as good as it gets for me atm. C&C wanted cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Outstanding work!!! Great shading on the chapter badge. I'm not sure what else to say. That model is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Noble Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 This is awful. That model is soooo well done that I'm throwing away all of my paints and brushes. It's a naked, unpainted army from here on out. Thanks. No, really... that's pretty awesome... How long did it take to finish, and is that NMM for the metal gear? -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Trooper Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Really awesome mate. I'm trying to do skulls on marines as my chapter symbol (though modified slightly); out of interest, do you shape the skull first geometrically then detail it or do you simply go in and paint the whole thing as is? I really like this, and I don't like the Telion model. Easy to see why you won a statue mate. RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarekrow Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 thanks guys Rindaris: so ive heard, im sure he will fit in nicely with my scouts on the battlefield.....directing that sniperfire hehe Lord Noble: dont throw your paints out, its expensive :P yea its NMM, i was stupid enough to do it on the entire army....the entire model might have taken something like 10 hours or so to finish, and then thats one hour for the tiny skulls on his cape. Rogue trooper: i do it differently for different skulls, the ones on the cape were created bu first drawing the topline and then painting small ball-shaped objects with a straight part coming out of it and then just highlighting and cleaning that up. the one on the pad is painted with a very dark colour to trace the design in and then highlighted and cleaned. the difficult part is to make the skulls look somewhat alike, something i have encountered on this army.

DeffWolf Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 how did you achieve the crisp muted gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeffWolf Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 i like it alot. lot of character and the basing compliments the painting perfectly. also, good job on the lenses - they can be quite difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 He looks so much cooler than the UM Telion. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemainus Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 He's just fantastic. I love this particular sub-forum because every day, somebody posts something that I look at and can say "I aspire to be almost that good someday" this is one of those models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarekrow Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 thanks guys, captain mike: that actually makes me feel proud since the one GW made looks like a wimp, Telion should be battlehardened. lemainus: thanks, you will get there trust me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
