Durus Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The mini looks great! It's nice to see a 54mm Marine that isn't part of the Deathwatch. :) (I wish GW would still sell those helmets.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A17roolz Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I like it. I like it alot. Finally an Inquisitor scale Space Marine that doesn't look like Artemis with a head swap. Plus I'm a massive fan of dark, gritty paint jobs. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replica Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Vostok3 Very cool. I love the grittiness the whole piece has. Thanks mate; I wanted him to look battle worn so i used some weathering techniques that I normally use on tanks. Also i found that putting on gloss varnish before weathering or adding mud makes for a realistic effect of matte mud and grime over once polished armor keith I like it, very nice! Cheers mate!

Thanks, I agree, while the Artemis model is fantastic that big Inquisitor shoulder pad really isn’t suited for any other chapter... Brother 'Ussell Well done piece, and congrats on not everdoing the source light effect on the eyes, turned out well. Cheers, I've had mixed feedback, some say it’s over done. I was going for a bit more of a spread of light to show the gold is more reflective but not everyone is into eye glow, this was my first attempt at it Thanks everyone, i really appreciate the positive feedback!

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Awesome work! I'm actually in the process of converting this model into a Daemon Prince myself (a very loyalist looking Daemon Prince... but that's the point), so your WiP is of great interest to me. The only real flaw to my shocked and awed eyes, and it might just be the picture, is that the gold on the bolter looks kind of flat. Beyond that, I really like how you did it. Personally I like the scrollwork on the shoulder pad but I'll admit, it's very Deathwatch-esque. Plus the studs are a great touch on a model like an Honor Guard.

G'day, Thanks for the praise brother, I like the idea of using Artemis as a base for a Daemon, it sounds very chaos to make a mockery of the holy power armor by retaining its general form while bestowing it with all manner of evil energies! Do you mean the bullet on the bolter? That's meant to represent the marksman's honor, and is actually a missile cut in half! its 3d but perhaps it needs a little more shading/highlighting? I like the scroll-work too but i wanted to make him look very different from Artemis and that shoulder pad is probably his most distinctive feature. You will have a ball converting up this guy, it was by far the most fun I've had on a build! thanks, Replica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperialis_Dominatus Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Oh I've been chopping up the model and adding bits for a while now, though I only just got some pics up. There's some pinning and GS left to do. Oh, and painting. He is fun for sure. Yeah, that's what I mean, I think the bullet on the side needs a little more shade/highlight. Something to make it pop.

Yeah, i should give it a bit more of a rounded look, might just do a streak of silver down them. Replica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
