Hey guys,

Nice model. The banner and the bone is very well done.

Just a suggestion, how about adding some colour to the eyes - just to draw the eye to the face. Other than that, it looks great.

 

 

Your flames are backwards. Yellow is the hottest part of the flame and is in the centre.

 

Example of reverse scheme

 

Every flame I have ever seen always has the yellow tip - especially on things like candles, lighters and the open fire my Nan used to have. Personally, I think it's up too each individual how they want to paint the flames. If I remember my College science correctly, then the hottest part of the flame is actually the inner cone - the tip of the blue part on a lighter or bunsen burners flame.

 

Hope that helps.

Super nice model! I like it a lot.

 

Regarding the flames, the 'Eavy Metal team advocates the backward-approach, as it creates the best contrast between the dark armour and flames. If painted like "real" flames, then the tips of the flames would be almost black, and then create an imbalance on the model.

 

The 'Eavy Metal method was mentioned and gloriously explained in a very recent White Dwarf.

You truly did this great model justice; except I would chime in with others in that you need to paint the eyes and the plasma coils a colour.

 

On a sidenote, anyone think that this model would make a great chaplain with a little modification? especially salamanders.

Too old? Jeez Vad you're only 4 years older than me (assuming you didn't lie on your profile information. And what kind of person lies on the internet :D )

 

He he, well, then I'm just old fashioned or not up-to-date :D (but I feel old...doesn't that count? :D )

Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback!

 

I can't believe i missed the plasma coils on the pistol, but hopefully i have rectified that problem!

 

I also painted the eyes as suggested though i have done them blue. My own little 40k nod to the Diskworld books i fear!. :P

 

Anyway heres some updated pics.

Oh sorry about the quality of one of the pics, i took it about eight times and that was the best i could get. Using a phone camera sucks.

I love the Discworld books! I can see where you drew the inspiration from. That reminds me, must get around to painting my Death mini..................

 

Anyway, it looks great. Can't wait to see what the rest of the squad turns out like!
