Templar Neophytes WIP

Recommended Posts

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.

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:

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

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
