Sandalphon Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Finally decided there was no point having this model unless it was proudly displayed on the shelf - so without further ado: Many thanks to The Shadowguard for supplying this timeless miniature as first prize in a DA comp many years ago ;) And yes i painted him like a zombie because well.. he pretty much is ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Normish Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well painted, indeed. It is always nice to see these old classic models, reborn in all their glory. Very crisp and clean bone color, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorns Padawan Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Dude that is sooooo sweet! That is an awesome paint job! Only last week I managed to aquire me this lovely model off of eBay (much to my wife's displeasure) for a small kings ransom. I am waiting until my painting abillity is at several levels better than it is before I attempt to paint it. How many layers did you paint? Must have taken a few days to paint?! Nice one!!!!

The Damned Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well Done. The free hand on the banner is really nice. This makes me want to paint my copy of this model. Plus, I always love to see the Legion getting some love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall_Brant Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Nice work. Like the guy above me. I too want to paint my Centurius. Oddly though the pix of Centurius I've found don't show him with a banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Cheers for the kind comments! To answer a few questions: The Banner is GS and is the only part of this classic model i slightly modified, It was tempting to cut the tab off the bottom and give him a fancy base but the imprint reads "the damned!" which is cool and just had to stay. I am still debating whether or not to add some black flecks to the bottom of the flames for a bit more contrast and detail, some sort of charcoal/ debris. Paintwise it's interesting because i had already half-painted him a while back (sans highlighting, chainsword arm and a few other bits).I had actually painted the flames "backwards" originally ie: red base to yellow tip, which annoyed the hell out of me so i repainted those too. The bone includes pure skull white highlights and no inks/ washes (which i usually do) which might explain its cleanliness :blink: I am hoping to put a squad of RT beakies together with him but considering whats on my workbench and how long it takes me these days to finish anything that could take a while...
