Fire Lord Captain Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi! This is where I shall be painting up an Emperor's Champion for the 2010 LPC. I might use him as my chapter master, but i haven't decided yet. I ordered the model today so should arrive soon. I'm planning on painting him in the style of a Space Crusade Captain. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Donedy/608973-466px_space_crusade_large.jpg Like I say I'm planning... Hopefully he won't turn out like an apocathery. Anyway thanks for looking ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Very interesting! It seems like a very fun scheme to paint. A EC in white would look VERY cool: very different from what's standard :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Well the EC has arrived.. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Donedy/DSC04387.jpg And not long after he arrived he accidently lifted his sword from the wrong end... http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Donedy/DSC04388.jpg Luckily a techmarine was close by so he welded a new fist on for him.. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Donedy/DSC04389.jpg Now onto the painting!!!

(not a great pic) http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Donedy/DSC04394.jpg I'm going to wash him now with badab black then go over again in skull white.

Fire Lord Captain Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Ive washed him and gave him another coa of white. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Donedy/DSC04396.jpg Just another couple of white coats and then the details ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dampe Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have the same model on my workbench atm and was planning to add a fist to him. Now I know it will look ace. Nice model mate, the white looks good so far. Hoping to see some more paint on him soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having to leave him for tonight now to let the white properly dry. So on with some of my termies instead :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Extremely well done red! It's smooth and has lots of depth to it. Love it: extremely rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Thanks Capt. Still needs some highlights on it though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Nice simple conversion! Looks great and I wish you luck with the white. I'm having trouble getting mine right but you seem to be doing well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having trouble getting mine right but you seem to be doing well! Cheers Tutteman, I don't think I'll ever paint white again though. The trick seems to be lots of thin watered down coats. Heres a little update with all the base coat colours on. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Donedy/DSC04398.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah hard lesson. I unfortunately am the prat who made his DIY white before he realised it was a nasty colour to paint. :D Good luck once more.

Brother Mordeus Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Or not paint the white, what i have done is prime it white, then use diluted badab black in the recesses, followed by a chaos black wash in the cracks, then you take slightly watered down black, and paint into every crack of the armor, while keeping the big blocks of white primer intact, thus getting a nice clean coat of white, whitout all the smudges and weird texture that painting white gives you.

You've kept it smooth though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Okay here's another small update. Detailing is more or less finished. Left to do: Side arm, back pack and finish the base. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Donedy/004.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Donedy/003.jpg EDIT: I tried to get the eagle on his right side to look as much like the captain in Space Crusade. I also need to decide whether to free hand the chapter symbol or buy some decal paper and download the badge from this very site :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Nice work on the white, it can be tough to get it right. Let us all know how the chapter symbol goes. I have to admit I cheat where possible on details like that, hope it turns out good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
