Talhydras Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hey there! As I am better at posting WIP pics than pics of completed models, I thought I'd open a WIP Thread... First up is the Apothecary on my painting table. I ran out of black primer, so I started painting the only model that needs white priming :lol: I didn't want to paint him bright white, so I thought I try something more... shaded? After priming I washed the whole model with Badab Black, then layered Space Wolves Grey, a 1:1 mix of Space Wolves Grey and Skull White and highlighted everything with Skull White. I wam quite satisfied with the results, though I need to do a lot of touch ups. First two pics are with flash on my painting table, the second two are without and only with daylight. What do you think of the white? Any tips? I am always open for C&C! http://666kb.com/i/bi0sll3mx72q6fm0z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averykess Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I think you should go ahead and do the hands in red, it is the crimson fists after all. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talhydras Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 I was unsure about that, but now I think I just give it a try... thanks for your comment^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarInHeaven Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 very clean white, i know what a b*tch color it is to paint i also like the way he's protecting his 'valubels' :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talhydras Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 the extra armour on the family jewels is a total coincidence, but I like coincidences and so I added it to all the members of the command squad :rolleyes: Yeah, white is really a b*tch colour, thank god I'm not playing white scars^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talhydras Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Pushing my thread...it's been a long time. Due to university exams I haven't been able to paint a lot in the last couple of weeks. I finished some minis, though, but I am more into converting right now... Here is today's project, a terminator librarian, made from a spare AOBR Terminator Sergeant and a huge amount of bits. I tried to build a psychic hood enlarging the armor and using guitar wire (quite common these days, eh?). In addition to that, he will have a banner, force weapon and a storm shield, but I am still waiting for his arms to arrive -.- http://666kb.com/i/bl7kh7eb1cvbm0wjr.jpg What do you think? Still need to file some areas smooth once the GS is dry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar mikael Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 i like it! AoBR??? i dont remember a librarian torso being in there- well definatley not any of the ram skulls bits, and that looks like a one piece torso. where did you manage to get them from?

Talhydras Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 The torso is from the Chaos Terminator Lord Sprue, e.g. the sorcerer. I wanted to go a different way than alway the skull with horns, so I removed any spikes to make it "loyal". The AOBR bodies fit nicely with the other terminator chest plates. Now I want to GS a book on the top of the armor, short behind where the banner will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talhydras Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ready to be primed. Psychic Hood proved to be a little fragile, so I need to glue certain point with plastic glue again in order to make it melt into one piece. I sculpted a little book on his back as typical for a Librarian Force Weapon is constructed of the Aquila-banner from a Ravenwing Bike and a Dark Elf spear. Any ideas or critics to improve the model any further? http://666kb.com/i/blj81lb179zp9d2cd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 ok... that force weapon is awesome! you could try adding more wire to "conduct more psychic energy" like linking the force weapon with the armor with those wire. linking the head with the armor using small guitard string.
