CosmicCreations Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 For my new Ultramarine Crusade army I decided to strip down and repaint my Calgar. He is almost finished, just a bit more painting and the base. Before people ask, I have switched the head to a Terminator head because I truly cocked up the face, and I actually quite like the termie head, makes him feel a bit more...bulkier, something to be reckoned with. this was the marble base I decided to do, make him feel a bit more grand. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65443.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65447.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65448.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65450.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65456.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65458-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienerd Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I would have just removed the little microphone (?) thing under the head, so that it sat comfortably. I prefer him with a helmet too, as I think the norml head gets lost amongst all the eaglework and size of his body. Good Job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetacondries Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I agree with the fact calgar looks better with a helmet. After all a chapter master would wear it some times right? Fantastic work sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenmichi Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Only thing I'd do with the head is make it somewhat more ornate looking. Be it the color or add some stuff to it making the helmet stand out more. Other than that, looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicCreations Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks for all the nice comments, Kenmichi- I was thinking that too, I've added a gold stripe to the forehead and painted the pipes gold too, its only a subtle change but it seems to make a difference. But now I dont know where to go. He's almost there, just a few details, I just cnat decide what to put on his back, a banner, or a little relic thing. BANNER http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65459.jpg RELIC http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65461.jpg i'm tempted to go with the banner, but I'm not sure what colours to paint it, any sugggestions?

Alienerd Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 If you go for the banner, I would paint it the lord macragge banner, like on the old calgar model. I don't if its in the new codex, but know the design is in th old one, as it was his personal banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicCreations Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks, I'll give it a go ;) , I won't have my banner that big though, considering I think it looks a bit over the top, and he has a huge banner anyway in his honour guard! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Put the banner, and then the relic thingy on top of the banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potan Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I somewhere saw Calgar with gold helmet and I think looks more "master" then ordinary white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicCreations Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Banner is done, this was the WORST 15 minutes of my life lol, I was so tense I didnt want to muck it up. It's come out alright I think, especially for my first banenr free-hand :) http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65462.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65464.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65466.jpg I know the writing is a bit wonky I'll go over that again later c&c welcome :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 considering it only took 15 mins, that's pretty awesome. kudos to you, that kind of thing always takes me hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Nice freehand! I think the model looks better with a helmet, somehow appears to be more scary and intimidating imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenmichi Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 It looks a lot nicer (the helmet), definitely speaks to his nature. I'd almost suggest a Roman Crest but that could be a little over the top, even for Calgar. I think a little badab black wash to darken the gold and white would be perfect! The banner looks incredible, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a crest would look good just not on him ;), I have added a lot of badab black actually, just hasn't darkened it that much, maybe a couple more coats, but thankyou for the feedback :P I've started on Tigurius now, he's about 70% done, just little tidbits left, and before anyone says it I know the flames on the banner are attrocious, I'm going to redo them later tonight but here he is so far http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65470.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65472.jpg and the two together http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65477.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicCreations Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 done a bit more on the Ultranmarine side of this Crusade army. After a failed trip up the town to get a hair cut and go to the bank, £25 later I ended up walking home with a devastator squad ^_^ and these are the creations... http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65495.jpg as you may have guessed this isnt Ultramarines and its not a devastator marine <_< , but I been painting it up anyway, still very early on http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65497.jpg I know this doesnt seem very space marine like, and I know its been done many times before but quite frankly the person who invented this pose was an utter genius! whoever you are, I thank you! http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65498.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65500.jpg Two heavy bolters, one has a bare shouting head because...well why not http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65501.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65503.jpg and the whole lot http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65504.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/Miniatures/STP65505.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienerd Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 You should really undercoat for the best results for the paint. And as has been said, those banners, both of them, are great, the gauntlets on Calgar's one came out really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
