jah-joshua Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 hey B&C... finally, i've taken the time to paint a mini just because i wanted to... i've had this mini waiting to get painted since he was a new release in 2001 (i believe)... i think this is the first Termie i've ever painted... it's hard to remember for sure, but in my 23 years of painting i don't think i've ever painted my favorite type of Space Marine... [EDIT]actually, i painted Typhus, so this is my second Termie... i wanted to try my hand at the "French Style" of painting, with unusual tones and softer edges... this is my first attempt at some blending instead of layering... this is my second attempt at battle damage... my first try was on the white armour of Kor'sarro Khan, and i wasn't able to get the strong highlight that i got to play with here... painted entirely with P3 paints... playing with Trollblood Base, Underbelly Blue, Coal Black, White, and Turquoise Ink for the armour was quite fun... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/LoganGrimnar.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/LoganGrimnar1.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/LoganGrimnar2.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/LoganGrimnar3.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/LoganGrimnar4.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/LoganGrimnar5.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/LoganGrimnar6.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/LoganGrimnar7.jpg he's off to ebay now... thanks for lookin'... cheers jah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdal Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 You honor the Great Wolf painting him that incredibly good. He almost come alive and I really want some close-ups on the axe. However, your choice of base confuse me. It doesnt seem fitting with the wood there. Personally I would rather, even if each and every one does it, put him on a rock. Ah yes, the face is beutifully panted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I absolutely love the blue, it looks like the armors made of sapphire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 :D....a buddy turned me onto the trollbloods colors for wolves a few months ago and as Im still in the process of building and not painting my wolves yet it is good to see what someone is doing with those colors...like what I see man! course all you stuff is good:) personally I think charging over the barrier is a good choice for the great wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beejay Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Wow!!!Love the chipping . How did you do the hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen-Shugar Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Excellent work Jah. The battle damage suits your style more IMO. Gave you a 9 on CMoN :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah-joshua Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 @beejay: the hair is some simple layers, since it has such a great texture... first was a liberal coat of P3 Greatcoat Grey... next was some Trollblood Highlight, just pickin' out the details and bein' careful to leave the Greatcoat showing in the deep spots... the final highlight was pure White, as i wanted the hair and beard to be the brightest part of the mini... as with everything, i try to keep it as simple as possible... this is a mini intended for someone to use on the tabletop after all... cheers jah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Wow, thats a really cool logan right there, good idea to elevate his base though, otherwise he looks far too stooped over. I'm impressed with the colours. I've been a mainly GW/Vallejo/Tamiya man for years, but, these P3 paints sound ever more tempting, and seeing effects like that, really gets me interested :P Its just a shame your selling him on ebay and not playing him on the battlefield!

lolita23q Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Really nice what color did you use for the blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sensei Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Well, this is much better than many "french styles" I know, so congrats ! Very crisp, clean, readable and a good choice of colors. Two little things IMHO : The color of the rune in the middle of the cloak would gain from a natural color (boney or stone) for it is most probably a simple artisan work and it looks strange with a color so close from the armor one. The old wolf armory gives little place to personal choices so shoulderpad has to be black. I therefore think that you should push up a little the furs highlighting to gain a more readable transition between it and the pad. You're a very talented painter and I hope to see more (the black head fer wolf is a really good idea, it brings much contrast to the head and draws attention to it).

Muskie Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Good effort, for French Style. Sounds a bit dirty, rather like bum. Anyway it is a bit too blue for me. I'm no expert, but Space Wolf Grey should be more grey than blue else they'd call it Space Wolf blue. Ultra's a the blue army. I've seen the Troll bloods and P3 paint needs a lot of shaking but I use one pot I learned of on B&C Blighted Gold with my nurgle stuff more and more. I actually like Foundry paint but it is expensive and no one carries it locally. We'll see how my latest batch comes out. Keep on keepin' on.
