51XV8 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 This is my 3rd marine and my first space marine conversion. I just wanted to see what people think of it so far and what add on or changes I should make. This is a dry fit of what he might look like. and this is the possibly finished body and legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 looks good :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I think the feet should be pointing away from each other but not too much. other than that it looks excellent :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader_of_Glory Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 the legs do see, stiff to me i suggest angling the foot on the helmet outward to match the direction of the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I like the pose overall. I'll echo pointing the helmet-stepping foot to match the facing of the head. Also, I know you said it's a dry-fit, but the Marine's right lower leg is a little off-kilter to his upper leg. Looks like his bones aren't lined up right. Be sure to line it up when you affix it permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Looking good. It reminds me of CM Dante's Uriel Ventris. The Angels of Vengeance have always been one of my favorite 'obscure' Chapters, so it's great to see them getting some attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51XV8 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 When I said dry fit I meant the arms, head, and pack, the body and legs are all glued down. I should have made that more clear. Â I agree on that the left foot is pointed inward a little to much, but I'm going to make the head faceing forward more so it will not look as strange. The lower leg looks like it is to far back in the photos but I think its do to the lighting. Â I will post side shots of him soon. I plan to add a purity seal on the right side of his body, and I also plan to make the left soulder pad have slots in it so it looks like its made out of strips of armor.

51XV8 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 I decided not to use the sloted shoulder pad it just didn't look right on him, but I will use it for my next project. Side shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51XV8 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 here is the Angel of Vengeance painted, I decided he would be the sarg. of a tactical squad. A tactical marine will be coming very soon as well. C&C Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Why didn't you turn his left leg like everyone suggested? It looks so awkward how it is now. Try standing like that and you'll see :lol: Armour is a nice colour though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51XV8 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 It realy does not look that odd, and it was dry by the time I posted it so it was ether use the legs or scratch the whole thing and start over. Heres the tactical marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.J. Gunnell Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Both look great! The tactical marines bolter is especially nice. I partially agree on the left leg though. But its still a great conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris127 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Lookin good. I really like your black and your painting in general, especially as a Consecrators player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonDrakenstorm Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Your freehand badges and the tactical marine bolter are amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Kashnizel Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 They look very nice, and the freehand on both of them are great, but how do you paint that black? It's probably the coolest black I've ever seen done on a marine. Do you drybrush grey onto a black base, but only on the raised areas, or do you layer it on?

Master Commander Ajax Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 A great job. The freehand work is especially well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dood515 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I know you can't do it now, but i would have also mentioned the foot but wow!!!, that is an amazing paint job on both models! Â "insertcoolsmilyhere" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51XV8 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks for all of the feed back, and Master Kashnizel I use a basecoat of chaos black mixed with a little bit of codex grey and then use a thin wash of scorched brown over the whole thing then continue to highlight with grey and black mixes. I mostly use line highlights but I also highlight some of the larger rased areas (top of arms, elbows, chest...) part way through it always turns out looking too greyish but once finished it looks like black armor. I plan to work on my gradual highlights and to start moving away from mostly edge highlights on my next model though, hope I have time to convert him soon. Â -Any cool ideas or advice for poses would be welcomed (reloading, stabing, running...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Phoenix Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 although the foot is bothersome when this guy is 5" tall on the screen, it will hardly matter from more than a foot away on the table. i think a quick clippers+green job could turn it really easily but it's hard to knock the (final?) product (^.^) d=||=b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
