wizard12 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 OK, just finished this guy and the painting shall start some time later this year. My only nag about this guy is that his pose is slightly static. I thought about adding a flowing cape on hi back and I still might do so but I just fear my GS skills are too terrible. so here he is. Front side back (wow there a lot to see there) diagonal shot C&C welcome. bear in mind I cannot change the pose he's in and yes, I will drill his gun before painting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallvictory Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I think his pose is fine, not every model needs to be leaping into battle cape flowing in the wind. He looks like he is calmly dealing bolter death. Make sure to kill those mold lines on the helmet and bolter before it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aekold Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 looking great. Is the spear made from the command squad banner arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlmb_123 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 The pose is great: it actually looks like he's weighing the weight of his sword/lance against that of his aiming arm. I'd leave a cloak off, it'd push the model too far into the realm of OTT fantasy, and this guy is evidently a no-frills fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yeah leave the cape of, he looks like a guy who actually means business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yeah leave the cape of, he looks like a guy who actually means business! I agree that the pose is quite good. The spear offsets the bolter very well. I would suggest adding something to the spear though as it looks a little too plain. Maybe a purity seal or strip of cloth where the blade meets the shaft. That would be relatively simple to make and would add some character to the weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 The pose is really good. If you're worried of making a big cape, why not a small and tattered one- to display he's a veteran? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
