Terminatorinhell Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi guys I recently partook a crazy project in which I will be magnetizing a 10 man tactical squad to have CCW and BP, Bolters, Devastator Weapons, Command Squad Gear and other such things. Here is Sergeant Armin, Leader of the Immortals (an Elite SM squad based on the Persian Immortal Warriors) He is armed with a plasma pistol and a Damascus Blade.

Marek Grimfang Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 He's a bloody action figure. Funny how GW has never done this. Bravo. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186580-magnetized-space-marine-sergeant/#findComment-2206335 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicCreations Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 haha that is great! If you did a whole bunch of marines and enemies like this you could have the makings of a very good stop-motion animation :cuss well done Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186580-magnetized-space-marine-sergeant/#findComment-2206714 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 hmm I wouldn't mind a reason as to why it looks terrible Feytor, after all you are the only one with an issue with the model.

Feytor Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Paint is very thick and placed very roughly. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186580-magnetized-space-marine-sergeant/#findComment-2206916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 you probably thought that by looking at the shoulder right? That was just a bad filing job, I keep a 1:1 water to paint ratio.

Typical Cricket Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Don't worry, Feytor is just an exceptional dick who doesn't believe in constructive criticism. I suggest if you're using GW paints to pick up some of the Foundation colors and apply them in super thin coats (you can probably increase your water-paint ratio to 2:1 with these because they're so heavily pigmented). Once you've got a good foundation of color laid down, you can start detailing and highlighting with the regular paints. Don't change whatever you did for the sword though - it looks really great! The cybernetic arm is quite nice as well.

Marek Grimfang Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Don't worry, Feytor is just an exceptional dick who doesn't believe in constructive criticism. The OP posted with the intent on getting opinions, good or bad. Feytor provided his opinion without anyway of offering any offence. If someone posts openly on an internet forum, and C+C is asked for, you are going to get it. I find people are way too touchy feely here when pure crap is posted in various posts and threads. As long as you are respectful, speak your mind. Calling someone out as a Dick I find is what is in poor taste. Id like to see you do it in person.

Terminatorinhell Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yeah I did not take too much offense once he explained but I can't use red foundation paints as it messes up my red recipes. I use foundations for the purity seals (khemri) and the light grey one for the helmets :D and at Marek What pure crap? O.o was it my stuff I'm confused.

Malanok Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I like it. Good model, well painted in my opinion; sure it's not GD standard, but not that many peoples models are. unfortunately daemons and magnets don't mix that well :P Malanok P.S Feytor & Marek Grimfang , if someone does posts "pure crap" then I don't say anything ("If you don't have anything nice to say...")

Typical Cricket Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Well I apologize for my less-than-friendly vocabulary earlier, but I take back nothing. The whole idea of a forum is to get like-minded people together so they can help each other out, and 'C&C' does not equal 'being a total jerk-tube to people'. All I'm trying to say is that people should be more constructive instead of branding it 'total crap'.

sword brethren Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Don't worry, Feytor is just an exceptional dick who doesn't believe in constructive criticism. ha ha ha, owned i think its great i would never dream of attempting such a task, i can only see it going wrong for me. you have pulled this off very well and although i agree the painting needs a little work that comes with practise and a few tips lying around this site :) despite a little argument id look at the funny side of it. im gonna settle with your model is looking just fine, keep up the good work :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186580-magnetized-space-marine-sergeant/#findComment-2207138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible_Trygon Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Nice model. You have good taste of bitz. But the painting is too thick, and the colours are really patchy. You should try and learn how to layer, and perhaps blend. It would do your painting wonders.
