SnorriSnorrison Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Nice one, mate. Really like the terminator! :tu: Only thing that bugs me a bit is the lack of deeper shades...which is probably a result of the camera you mentioned. Surprisingly, I can make out the highlights, but not the shades. :D Crazy world. Yeah but aside from that, that dude's perfect! :) Snorri Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191546-ba-army-expansion-chapter-fortress/page/9/#findComment-2751846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus Mortifer Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Cheers Snorri. Believe it or not, the definition is a lot better first hand - pretty much similar to all the earlier pics that were done with a proper camera. My iPhone really doesn't like my reds but there is a definite brown/red shade, to Blood Red, to Blazing Orange highlight (usually the highlight doesn't even show either :tu: ). More to follow shortly... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191546-ba-army-expansion-chapter-fortress/page/9/#findComment-2751884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
awfulawful Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I continue to amazed at how your power weapons come out. Top notch work as always.

Seva Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. Great work. I love the way you get the white so white and I am a fan of the power weapons. They are so different from the way I do mine. I am going to give your technique a whirl next time I do some power weapons. Great thread!

Commander Rutherford Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Angelus Mortifer I just want to say that your work is a huge inspiration to me personally. I haven't posted on these forums in years because I stopped playing 40k and sadly sold all of my Blood Angels. Although with the strong community feel here for the Blood Angels and incredible work like your own I'm really starting to want to paint red again and it's already happened with a few terminators from the Space Hulk set. It's certainly no match compared to your standard of work however your models are nothing short of sensational and your attention to detail really makes the difference and will keep me continuing to strive to become a better painter. Thank you. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191546-ba-army-expansion-chapter-fortress/page/9/#findComment-2755640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelus Mortifer Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Really appreciate the sentiments guys, and I also want to point out that I really enjoy seeing other people's work too, no matter the standard. I genuinely think that you can get inspiration from anything, and the BA section is a rich source of awesome a lot of the time. Real life is rude and inconvenient, and this hobby for me is the equivalent to a really serious drug addiction, hence why there are so many ideas and projects and so little time to make progress on everything. The Fortress is not forgotten, but I'm having to prioritise quite a lot at the moment. For now, here's Brother Harkon (who won't be the squad Sgt by the way - I have a plan for that specific model :) ). Another straight up paintjob, but the next fella, Brother Delos (who's a smidge away from being complete) will have some notable modifications. Enjoy, and likewise to all, keep up the good work... http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/SebJones_photos/Blood%20Angels/TermTH1a.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/SebJones_photos/Blood%20Angels/TermTH1b.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/SebJones_photos/Blood%20Angels/TermTH1c.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/SebJones_photos/Blood%20Angels/TermTH1d.jpg (Strangely, the pic quality was better today... bu66ered if I know how to make technology work :) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191546-ba-army-expansion-chapter-fortress/page/9/#findComment-2757266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

awfulawful Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 True story: in the last few weeks when I've been working on my little assault termie squad, there have been a few times when I've thought, "When is [Angelus Mortifer] going to get pictures of those Space Hulk termies up?" Very nice work my friend. Particularly impressed by the blood drops on the right shoulder pad. I'd love to see more signs of wear on the hammer though. Doesn't look like it's done much smashing.

Angelus Mortifer Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 True story: in the last few weeks when I've been working on my little assault termie squad, there have been a few times when I've thought, "When is [Angelus Mortifer] going to get pictures of those Space Hulk termies up?" I can only apologise to you mate that it's taken me so long to actually paint these guys, after your more than generous Termie swap. Much appreciated. I'd love to see more signs of wear on the hammer though. Doesn't look like it's done much smashing. My Terminator squad is very precise about keeping their weapons clean and xenos/heretic guts-free... even going so far as to ask the enemy to pause in-between kills while they wipe off the mess. We're quite polite and fastidious like that ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191546-ba-army-expansion-chapter-fortress/page/9/#findComment-2757991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus Mortifer Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 As promised, here's number 3 out of 6 so half-way there. Originally Brother Leon with the Assault Cannon from the set, but now with extra Hammer. Not a bad conversion for me, and not immediately obvious at first glance. Also ensures I can keep the ongoing theme of all the detail and finery for the 1st Company, in whatever form they take.

Ebsolom Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Beatiful work once again :D ! I really like the conversion you've done, I'm in the middle of doing something similar for my termie assault squad.

Angelus Mortifer Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Been a while since I made any painting progress as I'm trying to negotiate a really annoying painting motivation wall, as well as dealing with too many RL nonsenses. Managed to finally finish Termie No.4, using the Red Scorpion (Cmdr Culln) "chassis" - quite happy he still fits with the overall squad style despite some obvious differences. Next up is the squad leader, who I'm hoping will turn out a bit special - just hoping the model I'm using doesn't feel too annoyed at getting a "demotion" :) He's practically finished in terms of coverage, but there are still some fiddly bits to do; pics to follow hopefully next week. Enjoy... http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/SebJones_photos/Blood%20Angels/TermTH3b.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/SebJones_photos/Blood%20Angels/TermTH3d.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/SebJones_photos/Blood%20Angels/TermTH3c.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/SebJones_photos/Blood%20Angels/TermTH3a.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191546-ba-army-expansion-chapter-fortress/page/9/#findComment-2800967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
