greatcrusade08 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Heres my WIP Cassius, its a little untidy in places, the left shoulder pad and book of grudges are finsihed with highlights, everything else needs work http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/002-8.jpg?t=1280690336 http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/006-7.jpg?t=1280690336 http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/008-5.jpg?t=1280690336 the face looks a bit odd in the photo, i think its due to the fact that ive only done half of it B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Looks like he's coming along nicely there. I really like the depth of the blue that you've created and that pristine white is perfect :cuss Cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidKits Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 did you buy that model recently? i know its a strange question but most of the models of cassius at my local games workshop still have him decked out only with his old bolt pistol. I want to get him with this combi-flamer just wondered if that is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Targhost Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Same question here where did you get that combi-flamer from? asfar as i know he only sells with the bolt-pistol arm..? or is it one of the limited editions only GW personall have axes to?

Captain Hwarang Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Good work. The right shoulder pad is especially nice. The laurels look great. I've had trouble painting them recently. What colors did you use? It looks like the final highlight/brightest color is goblin green, but I'm not sure. Any washes in there? I tried washing mine with thraka green and with devlan mud, and I wasn't really satisfied with either of them. Any tips? Also, I realize you're finished, but what do you think about making the skulls a different color? There are several on the model, and I think it might help to break up the white if they were either bone-colored, or metallic (gold or silver would both work, in my opinion.) Bone colored would be quite easy - you could just wash what you've got already with devlan mud and then highlight with bleached bone. You might even add a second wash of sepia or flesh. The detail you've managed to paint on the skulls is quite impressive, but I think it might look even better if the bone was a different color. Regardless, keep up the good work. -Captain Hwarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black undercoat first, then paint dark angels green. drybrush goblin green and highlight scorpion green on the uppermost edges Also, I realize you're finished, but what do you think about making the skulls a different color?
