chapter master 454 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Holy mesphiston on his red fury hang over! thats awesome! I'm starting to get jealous of how others can blend so well! that does it time to find a tut on it! I tryed to find something on that model to mark down but emperor be glued to his throne, it's perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 its a very nice model with the overall blending on the armour pretty nice, my main crit would be that some of the edge highlighting is too stark and would probably benefit from a few more gradual layers. the face is very nice, like the eyes alot. and the axe head looks great. overall very nice work there dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_R Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Gorgeous model, is the glossy look on the left pauldron from a varnish + camera flash or did you highlight the model to look glossy? The blues are sumptuous and the force weapon looks beautiful, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlagueBearer Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The eyes!!! Those eyes!!! They make me bow... Great model that got the painting it deserved!!! I love the vivid colors!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaman Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Thanks for all the comments peeps, hope i can give the rest of his mates the same kind of finish. As for the glossy look in places - that's down to the washes. GW claim they leave a matt finish, well that's simply untrue, but i still love 'em :lol: I'm going to give this guy a spray with purity seal when i'm 100% happy, but tbh i have serious doubts about that stuff, when i get the courage to go for it i hope it doesn't 'frostify' him! i ruined a ten strong squad of ultra's not so long ago and haven't used the stuff since! I wish someone could nail the reason why it happens once and for all. It takes me a damn long time to paint and to have it all ruined in a few seconds from using that stuff makes me wanna commit murders :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 its a very nice model with the overall blending on the armour pretty nice, my main crit would be that some of the edge highlighting is too stark and would probably benefit from a few more gradual layers. I disagree, I like them as it looks like he's almost glowing. A very nice crisp and clean job. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, don't spray when it just rained, during the night, in hot weather, in cold weather, etc. If your model gets frosty, spray him with gloss varnish, and then use the matte varnish again.

sgtNACHO Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Love the painting. I just wish the Axe wasn't held so stupidly. I'd prefer it turned to the side, ready to slice up a few Genestealer skulls. Oh well, great model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 It's really too bad Mephiston doesn't look that badass anymore. I'd have kept the axe-staff Force Weapon rather than the goofy sword he has now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
