Rune Priest Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 So, with the Golden Bolter deadline seeming so far in the distance and watching my commissions pile up, i decided to get down to business... actual business :huh: Here is my second in the primarch line: the infamous Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons Legion. Lemme know what you think. -matt http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs068.snc3/13533_187343433643_558573643_3154067_154015_n.jpg http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs048.snc3/13533_187343448643_558573643_3154068_4751646_n.jpg http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs048.snc3/13533_187343458643_558573643_3154069_3320612_n.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186052-magnus-the-red/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil galed Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Looks sweet, I really like the effect you've got on the power armour. Quick question, I'm sure i've seen that sculpt of magnus before, can you buy them?

Arsenal Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Theres one of those Magnus sculpts in GW Oxford street, is there not? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186052-magnus-the-red/#findComment-2200316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Well, the answer to the first question is: yes, you can buy them (primarchs) (pm me if you want to; i know advertising here is against policy) And to answer the second question is: I really don't know, but I'd tend to doubt it since they aren't GW made. It is possible... Thanks for looking. Once I've done some appreciable amount of work on him, I'll take some better WIP pics.

Garden Ninja Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Is this an actual sculpt then? I always thought of Magnus looking like his old Epic mini (like a big blue cyclops barbarian with a mowhawk and bird wings). So I just figured this was a conversion. Is it available for people to buy then? Or was it one of the GW online store's conversion of the month deals?

dark_claw Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 it used to be available i know the person who had it made and cast up however it was named scarab knight.... it has since been pulled from the range he does as it is massive compaired to the others he has available. i wanted one but i just missed out it is a large model altho i would have reposed it first. the epic model is one of him as a traitor demon prince :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186052-magnus-the-red/#findComment-2200420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 actually, they are available (magnus included). just send me a PM with any questions lest this become an advertising thread.

#13 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm really digging the way you painted the poweramour. The way the red is highlighted with yellow is a great effect. I might even try it out for myself. Can't wait to see this minature finished. The horn boobs on the torso I find a bit odd. It reminds me a bit of Madonna. http://static.stuff.co.nz/1233108507/209/582209.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186052-magnus-the-red/#findComment-2200538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 lol, agreed. i'm probly going to ask my client if i can replace some of them with greenstuff gems for a 'different' look...

stormboy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I like the horn boobs... so it looks like you have to keep them. Love the look of it - but that, my friend, is why I am paying you to paint this beast.

Rune Priest Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 ;) :D :D :D oh, one thing i must ask, though: the knee boobs? may i sculpt gems onto them instead of the horns (just knees, not chest)? I would like to see a bit more gem places, but it's up to you Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186052-magnus-the-red/#findComment-2200923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormboy Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I can deal with gem knees. Go ahead and make magic. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186052-magnus-the-red/#findComment-2201036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

savis Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Great technique but the colour scheme reminds me too much of an Eldar Avatar. That might not be the case when you progress on the painting though. I'll just sit back and wait for more of the magic to happen.

morthin Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Dont whine on the horns! Its sculpted accordingly to GW's pre-heresy artwork, the horn boobs was what GW thought he should have ;D The painting looks sweet though :) Worthy of a primarch! What other primarch do you have? You said something of this being the second in line at the start of this thread.

Rune Priest Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 well, the first one i did was Sanguinius http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-sn...0_4347838_n.jpg and, well, the none of these are mine. they are, actually, for those of you watching at home, all owned by the guy all you guys will be buying the primarchs from. he commissioned me to paint them all for display (imagine how ridiculous that will look when they're all done). I, myself, own the Emperor model from the same range and Leman Russ (whom i will be painting soon for myself to use as a 'counts as' Logan Grimnar for my tournament wolves army. My golden bolter entry guy ( http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-sn...89_702002_n.jpg ) is the head wolf guard bodyguard for Russ, just an FYI -matt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186052-magnus-the-red/#findComment-2201632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innus Bade 9 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I like the purple on the rune it breaks up the red. Do you have plans for a body guard? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186052-magnus-the-red/#findComment-2201954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 well, that all depends on whether Stormboy wants me to make/paint one. I doubt it, but it would be cool i suppose; getting his red colour to be accurate was tough... but at least i'd get more practice at it. to address your PM about the bone (i assume the horns are what we're talking about), i was going to do a brown-ish grey, rather than a natural bone look, since it would look too similar to the tadbard. probably going to be some mix of fortress grey and bleached bone just to speculate, but we'll see when i make it up there ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186052-magnus-the-red/#findComment-2201995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
