Inquisitor Kaede Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hello. My name is Anthony, and i am fairly new to the 40k hobby. I have tons of kits and pewter figures, but i have a hard time in painting one army or another. Anyways, I am here to start a WIP for my Space Marines of the Red Scorpion Chapter. Up first is the leader of my chapter, Lord High Commander Aridas Zaen. Please excuse the picture quality only have my iphone right now. As you can see by pf mounted bolters, he is a counts as Marneus Calgar. Compared to most of the modders here my skill i weak, but i think he came out the way i envisioned him to be. more to come as is done, thanks for looking and any comments are most welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronDuke Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I think it is a good solid conversion, I like the mod on the backpack as well so you can see the ammo, is it a devestator heavy bolter pack? If you could, any chance of a close up of the join between bolters and the power fists? Keep up the good work :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Good stuff so far, I started Red Scorpions but only made it as far as 1 hq and 2 troops before Chaos called me back, so I am very much looking forward to seeing your army grow. The conversion is great, will look really good once painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScorpionsGirl Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Clearer pics would make it easier to see. Your camera phone isn't set up to do macro shots, so I might suggest holding the mini a bit farther out. Yes it won't be so close, but it will be in focus. If you notice the background, the boxes are in focus and the mini isn't, which would mean that if you hold it a bit farther back you should get a bit clearer shots. Just a few pointers.

Arsenal Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The first thing I'd say is that your backgrounds always seem in focus in the shots, but the foregrounds are too out of focus to really make out much detail in the model, which is a shame because it looks cool. Maybe move the camera / phone further from the model so that the model aligns with its focal depth a bit more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
