Jokersminis Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have had this model for a LONG time, and have had plans to make it into terrain since I used the head in an unfinished conversion. I built it yesterday, and painted it today. C&C welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexenes Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Well done! The bird poo is a nice touch! My only (very miniscule, somewhat nitpicky) criticism is that you could have made it look more like the hands were broken/sheared off. Still, good work that is far better than anything I have done. Kudos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 i agree, as it stands now the model just looks like the arms arent attached.... perhaps add some damage to the model? make it clear that things have broken off. perhaps add a few bullet holes with a pin vice and such? with some work you could make it look amazing :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Metal Troy Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Where DID you get that model anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedjartes Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It's the Battle Brother Artemis model from the Inquistor range in the specialist games section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Mordeus Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Cool idea, but honestly thats a waste of a really cool model. Ok its a cool terrain piece but no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuchinawa Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Cool idea, but honestly thats a waste of a really cool model. Ok its a cool terrain piece but no... I gotta agree XD I mean it's a really cool model and you put bird poo all over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratoKhan Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hey Joker, I think it's been painted well, and as a quick and easy project it works. As other have said though, what it would benefit from would be a few modifications that make the parts look like they've been snapped off. Just getting rid of the nubs and the holes would do. The bird poo is a nice touch by the way. It's nice! Cool idea, but honestly thats a waste of a really cool model. Ok its a cool terrain piece but no... I heard this when someone used a Reaver Titan head as a terrain piece. In all seriousness, it's the person's model and if they are using it in a way where they draw enjoyment from it, then it's not a waste. As for wasting, don't forget that if Joker ever wants to field it as an Inquisitor model or just paint it, he can just dunk it into Simple Green and repaint it. And the head is missing so it isn't like he could just field it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StratoKhan Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 It's their money. It looks great as a ruined Titan wreck by the way. Don't judge! But let's not get too off topic. I think that if the point of the PC&A was to give feedback on whether a modelling project was financially viable or sound it wouldn't really be as fun. Some people see this entire hobby as a waste of money. Some people think Apocalypse models aren't worth the money. Let's just move on and realise that it doesn't matter what people spend if they're happy with it. Of course, if you can think of a method to create a statue of comparable quality without using the parts that would be great. No sarcasm intended by the way, I mean it! I think we all wish we had those huge statues that the GW design team slap onto every modelling project they do, they are very cool. Of course if GW sold them they'd probably cost £15 or something which is how much I bought my Battle Brother Artemis for. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Mordeus Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Don't get me wrong, if it looks good as a piece of terrain, then fair enough to the maker. Everyone does whatever they want with their money. The experience involved is probably not the same, as i am saying that from the point of view of someone who doesn't own that many models.

Night Runner Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 It's sure going to make a hell of a centre-piece for your games table! Makes me wish I had two! One for the show case and the other for gaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Brother Sargent Tiberius- Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Nice! I like the aged statue effects too. Excactly how large is the model?(in comparison) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersminis Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Well, that's a 60mm dread base... he's taller than the plastic dreadnought. Thanks for all the c&c, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 What about a scale shot with a regular Marine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCC Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Long time no see compadre, how about a recipe for that lovely green-blue patina shade? And are the dark stains inks/washes or did you stipple/drybrush the patina and leave the under/base coat showing through? And you need to change your sig now, Hall of Honour = finished model, despite the terrain tag :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 The model itself is really cool, and you've certainly done it justice. I like the slab-colour of grey-ish blue, and the battle-damage. Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersminis Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 In response to requests for the recipe, I put it in my blog. Thanks Again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liath Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 For size comparison, a standard space marine from Warhammer 40,000 is as tall as Artemis' legs. GW says it's 54mm tall. Link to GW Brother Artemis (Inquisitor) It's an awesome model, I offered one myself, for the love of Space Marines. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mel Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Nice artemis! planning to do the same with mine! It would make a nice objective marker as well, though a tad bit large. MEl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinyRhino Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Looks nice. Well-weathered, and the poo is a nice touch. Maybe add a tiny bird's nest to his neck hole? :( I don't mind the non-snapped hands and pack mount. As-is it actually looks like it was being erected in pieces (like the Statue of Liberty was), but the artist never got to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firenze Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 A Reaver... I think I know who did that... Nice work Joker. I do agree about the 'broken' areas. They need some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
