Ashen-Shugar Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi, first post here. Decided to make a WiP of my Sons of Orar Veterans. Before I start, I don't game, so I don't plan on painting any plastic squads or anything. These are for display, hence the amount of time I spend, and the bases I use. Here's the first, the Ltd. Ed. Veteran Sergeant. Took 12 hours. I used NMM, and if you like you can vote for it on CMoN -> http://www.coolminiornot.com/226861 http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4228/rimg0169.jpg Cheers!

Ashen-Shugar Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Lol, probably. Thanks for the quick reply :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalevolentMc Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Wow man, very nice. Your Red is crazy nice, and your nmm is fantastic. The whole mini looks very smooth. Keep it up! Are you going to paint an army like this? Or just showcase mini's and the like? - MMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veteran Sergeants (2008 GD mini (converted w/ jump pack to lead vanguards), 2004 Army Box mini, 2005 Sgt. Aurelius) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyfox1990 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 In my personal opinion I would have to say that model is perfect. Its absolutely stunning! Congratulations on doing a superb job. Its definately something for other painters to aspire to! Keep up the good work. Would love to see more of your minis ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 That red equals 100% sheer brilliance! I love this guy, I was drawn to that Power Fist like Watto to a lightsaber "Why would you put that there? It looks so tantalizing!" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen-Shugar Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Thanks peoples :P The white is done simply by working codex grey grey up to pure skull white. Just keep layering and blending with increasing amounts of white until you have just skull white on the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAEDE Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 awesome work. Look forward to seeing more of them from you :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 That is an amazing paint job, but I'm not really a fan of the miniature. Having said that however, your painting skills make it look A LOT better than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen-Shugar Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 So, here's what two of the other three sergeants (which arrived this morning) look like: http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/131/rimg0170.jpg First one is just your bog standard Sgt. Aurelius LE, but the second is the 2008 GD marine with champion helmet and when it arrives, a jump pack. He will be the leader of the vanguard veterans, his pose looks jump pack-like also (and the standard head is godawful anyway, the helmet is much better IMO). The sternguards, vanguards and chapter masters should arrive tomorrow. I have yet to get my hands on the army box sergeant (w/ mohawk), so if you know of one let me know.

Commander Sha'son Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Nice model. I love the NMM; although I would have liked to see more contrast. Then again... it is the interpretation of the artist, and that is what counts. I can not wait to see more. Thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcL63 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 "Oh!" I exclaimed on sight. Scrolling down to reply, I decided that's drop dead gorgeous. I'm saving it for reference when next I start work on a techmarine. In the meantime, could you post your red recipie? BTW, 10/10 in CMoN. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GumbaFish Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Looking very nice indeed, I wouldn't have thought to add bubonic brown to the red. Also great name, from some great books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
