Dark Apostle

[tiny sam]

ressently I did some space marines for my brother's army and when my girlfriend saw that she asked : "why are you making model for your brother and not for me".

I answered "cuz you play chaos darling". long story short, I ended up converting and painting a word bearer Dark Apostle.

In my very self I always been a die hard loyalist and I tried to focus on the fact that the word bearer were once the most faithfull of them all. I chose to represent this by doing a split scheme loyal/heretic

my problem is in fact the huge Chaos symbole on his back pack. what should I do with it, I find it a little plain...

Front

loyal

Heretic

thanks for your help, critics and comments

You could paint all the large studs as gems. Or even try a NMM technique on it.

 

Very striking conversion.

I don't think I should use NMM since the model itself is made with metalics.

 

maybe youre right about the paint I need some color in this.

 

so gems, paint the inner part of the arrows?

 

wich color black, red, both? other colors?

[Sgt. Blank]

You could use either black or red on the "middle" eight pointed star to get a bit of contrast there. Not sure if that description makes sense, I mean painting the star which touches the outer ring a different color from the raised part on top of it.

 

Edit: can't believe I forgot this, but wicked conversion!
