Cypher 102 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'm finally getting around to posting some of my models. I'll start with my 3rd Company Standard Bearer. Other angles are available in my gallery. Comment and criticism welcome. I'll also welcome advise on my photography seeing as I'm just starting out on that aspect.

The Strange Dude Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I like it really nicely done. The only thing I'd add is black squiggles on the parchment from the purity seals. That being said I wish I had half your talent for free hand.

Cypher 102 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Yeah, I tend to catch those purity seals when I get around to refurbishing the models. Here's my Librarian in terminator armor. His eyes were my first attempt at lighting effects. I'm not too sure about the blue staff head but didn't want to go with just more white. As before there are other angles in my gallery.

TheReclusiarch Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Epic freehand of doom! Wish I had your talent with the free handing! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172007-my-dark-angels/#findComment-2033779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Excellent free-hand. One point for potential improvement would be to try and get a more gradual shading effect on the robes. That will take time, but the way I use is to have a graveyard earth basecoat for the robes then mix increasing amounts of belached bone into the highlight mixes before using pure bleached bone and then bleached bone and skull white. I'm not that great, but the finished examples look like this: http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o126/Gillyfish2010/101_0522.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o126/Gillyfish2010/101_0521.jpg Not perfect examples, but hopefully you can see what I'm getting at.

Cypher 102 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yeah, I've done the robes pretty quickly. They usually look very good on the tabletop, but the camera is very unforgiving. I'll have to try the graveyard earth base but I've never been a fan of mixing paints. I know that's what's needed to go up to the next level though. Those are some very nice robes. And now, for something entirely different . . . Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172007-my-dark-angels/#findComment-2034458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potan Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Nice Ezekiel and Damocles Rhino Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172007-my-dark-angels/#findComment-2034513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks on the Damocles. The Ezekiel belongs to Gillyfish though. Here's a techmarine. Yep, I need to hit the purity seals on this one too. After painting a company of dark green marines it sure is nice to paint a red or blue model for variety's sake. That's why I never cared for painting librarians, techmarines, chaplains, and apothecaries in the same color as the rest of my army. I have four servitors that go with him. As soon as I can figure out how to get a group photo with all of the models in focus at the same time I'll post them too. As always other angles are in my gallery.

niklas Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 The robes where the first thing that caught my eye - I think they need some retouching, if done well - it's also one of the areas in these models that can really make them stand out to their advantage. The banner is absolutely awesome, difficult to do, but you've really nailed it!

Cypher 102 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Time to knock some dust off of this thread. My newest incarnation of Belial. Converted from the Inquisitor Rex model with a Scibor Ancient Ruins base. The storm shield and thunder hammer arms are magnetized.
