Iacton Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Don't do so many marines nowadays, but I did build and paint this chap for Golden demon this year and thought that he might be of a bit of interest. I wanted to get a twist on the Sanguinary Guard, and make him fly. Then I had read the Soul hunter and Lord of the Night books in recent times, so a Night Lord was the obvious choice, I guess... Anyway, he got a finalist pin and the final model was pretty close to the vision that I had to start off with. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/Iacton/gd10wip/1.jpg Hope that you like.

Brother Nihm Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The legs look a bit wonky but I cannot fault the painting, not one bit. Well done! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriosoFury Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I usually stumble into threads and am impressed by some models...but I was simply wowed by how fantastic that model is!!! I really feel like he was deserving of a 1st place finish in the Golden Demon. The flames are unbelievable, the lightning is really crisp, and the rusted gold is so perfect for Chaos. Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyoz Devastrius Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Beautiful model, but what the hell is that purity seal doing on his leg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The legs look a bit wonky Always one in a thread, lol. Awesome painting though, brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The legs look a bit wonky Always one in a thread, lol. As opposed to the many who just go "awesome" ? :P Hadn't noticed the subtle OSL on the skulls until now, very nice detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 As opposed to the many who just go "awesome" ? :P I am not a painter, i am a sculptor and so wouldn't know where to start to critique a peice like this. I look at the peice from an overall perspective and so when i say "Awesome" is it due to the whole peice having a dynamic feel and an overall feeling of being well presented.

Iacton Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Thanks peeps for the kind words and the critique. @Darker - The flame is a piece of 2mm thick flat glass that I cut into shape, then squashed milliput around the top to form the cone. This was then painted before being enclosed inside some water effects. After all that it was dull coted, a little orange paint was washed over the outside and some pigments added at the bottom to give the impression of "dusting off". @Loken86 - Chaos Fury wings. Perfect for the job (well once you snip the original shoulder joint bits off! lol) @Br. Nihm - You're sort of right TBH and this probably cost me the chance of a statue on the day... @Keyoz Devastrius - Erm... I dunno. It does have an 8 fold star on the parchment if that helps at all?! :lol: @The rest - thanks v. much. He was a difficult project and I was disappointed with how he "showed" under the lights and stuff on the day, but it's another pin for the collection :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think the only real issue with the legs is that they aren't the clawed-foot Raptor ones, which would have "completed" the image this model was meant to convey. Beyond that, it's an amazing piece and definitely Golden Demon entry-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 @Br.
