Terminatorinhell Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 That looks really cool, i have followed it in your WIP thread too. He looks a bit like a jade statue too, i mean since it IS a model inevitably it will end up looking more like a statue than a ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somar Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 yeah, unless it is cast in clear resin or something there is no real way around that i guess. i am happy with him though, a suitable gaming piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51XV8 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Some red glowing eyes might help fix the statue issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowstalker Grim Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Very cool, though maybe some strong etheral colour on the rock may confer a ghostly look? Though that also then may make it look like hes radioactive....but worth a go perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long time ago (around the time of The Return of the King release) there was a clear resin frodo released by GW. Cost a tonne and was really rare though.

A long time ago (around the time of The Return of the King release) there was a clear resin frodo released by GW. Cost a tonne and was really rare though. yeah i remember that. I remember seeing a clear balrog that was painted up and had lights fitted inside too... But back on topic, i like the look of it, certainly a new take on the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somar Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 thanks guys, i am glad my idea gets approval. i am actually thinking about doing a unit of LOTD like this, would make them stand out, easy to recognize (specially in an army with other black marines) and it is dead easy to paint too. right now i am contemplating if i should do the flames a bit different, start them with yellow and instead of orange and red use light and dark green. that would just leave the blood in the cup as a contrast. *ponders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenric Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 May I ask how you got that "jade" look? I'm still in the process of becomming a decent painter no tmore and would love to use your technique for some weapons if you don't think that is hogging your style :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligncomedy Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 May I ask how you got that "jade" look? I'm still in the process of becomming a decent painter no tmore and would love to use your technique for some weapons if you don't think that is hogging your style :) If I do recall correctly the order is: Prime White Wash Thraka Green Dry Brush Scorpion Green Dry Brush Skull White Or at least that's how I think he's done it. right now i am contemplating if i should do the flames a bit different, start them with yellow and instead of orange and red use light and dark green. that would just leave the blood in the cup as a contrast.*ponders* Nice work Somar. If I might be so bold, rather then change the sword, why not work on the cup? Tamiya Clear Red works wonders if you want a rather realistic look. Basically stipple brush it on, wait 30~ seconds, stipple brush again. Then after ~5 mins, add some chaos black to the TCR to get a dark red, and stipple brush that on. It gives a textured/layered look. I believe someone actually wrote a librarium topic on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranwulf Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Looks GREAT! You could even use it as Sanguinius in some games! Ran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aekold Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 That is a very nice interpretation of the Sanguinor. One point of critisism, the blood in the chalice is just a red spacl in my eyes, especially compared to the rest of the painting. I would suggest removing is or give more depth to it.

Gorax Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Im really liking that ghostly effect though i do agree it looks slightly statue like. I actually prefer this to the usual sanguinor in all his gold. NICE JOB!!! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
