Belm Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hi folks, thought i'd share a few pictures of the neophytes i just finished. Painting them was alot of fun, and took around two weeks. The heads are from pig iron productions, i wasn't sure they would scale right with the bodies, but i'm happy with how they came out. I'm a bit rubbish at using my flatmates fancy schmancy camera, so the pics have came out a bit bright, the skin tone is actually alot closer to a blue-gray. Also the extreme close ups are pretty unforgiving! haha. Anyways let me know what you think! any suggestions are appreciated. cheers, Belm. http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/9.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/6.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/5.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/4.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/3.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/2.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/11.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/10.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtySixNights Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 This is intresting! i've never seen anyone make neophytes look so.... nooby? you've done a great job painting them though, they look great! may i suggest a wash on the skin, it looks very white.. it might just be the camera though. I also didn't know you could arm neophytes with lasguns :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belm Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Cheers! I snipped the lasgun barrels down and drilled them out to make them look more combat shotgunny, however i am also lazy, so i didn't change the ammo clips or add any other details. the skin has a couple of washes on it, ogryn flesh then devlan mud for the real nooks and crannies. I was trying to make the skin tone look like it hadn't seen sunlight for generations, but it hasn't come out exactly as i planned. Next time i'll probably go with elf flesh as a basecoat instead of fortress grey. The noobyness was intentional, these are the 'first day on the job / meat shield scouts', i'm going to do another unit made to look further along the path to full Initiate. Not sure exactly how to model them yet though! Belm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 other than the fortress grey skin its all great and i love the concept! i admit though i see excactly what you are trying to do with the skin and i applaude your efforts as i dont think you are far off. for the further along the line guys, make them similar but taller, a bit of scout armour and a chain blade to signify he has a real cc weapon, maybe even scout armoured body and cloaked in other places. well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belm Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thanks! i've got a few ideas in mind for my next scouts, i'll post some pictures when i've got started on them. Belm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Interesting conversions! Not what I envisioned them to be like, but it depicts Templar ideals physically: a monk-ish feel to them. Very refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
