SunThirster Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi all, This is my first time posting any of my miniatures, its about time i gave something back to the B&C community! Heres my attempt at Captain Cortez, I got the idea to do him when I thought I needed someone to represent Vulkan He'stan in my Crimson Fists army... that's why hes armed with an over the top combi flamer looking type weapon. I hope i've done the great man justice, any constructive criticism is most welcome! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highborn Mergula Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thats a good damn paint job. How did you paint the red? i'm guessing Mecharite red, Badab black, Blood red. 4/5 paintjob Rating. thats all. /HB M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunThirster Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 How did you paint the red?i'm guessing Mecharite red, Badab black, Blood red. Â Thanks for the compliment! The red was done like this: Â Mechrite Red + Black mix for base coat Added Red Gore to it for first and second highlight Final highlight with Blood Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olgerth Istaarn Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Badass!! Terminator legs + Sanguinary chest? very cool, never thought it'd work out. Â Not so sure about his gun arm though; position looks hella awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Now he looks like a real space marine, full of badass! Not like the original model.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 The blend of different models is fantastic, a very characterful mini! Â Great overall feel and good work detailing the bandana, no one has pointed that out yet! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khairney Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 lookin good man! lovin the details on the bandana! only wee problem i have is that the bipod on the gun looks a bit outta place. just doesnt seem to be in character for him to be lying down, or hiding in cover to use it.

Sandalphon Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 great conversion he looks like one bad mutha :) paintjob does the mini justice too - well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 This is the best attempt to personify Cpt Cortez (I consider the GW model as an attempt) Â Â Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I took a closer look at the gun and I really love the dual pilot lights on each side of the knife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Would he really need the stand on his knife-flamer? I do love the servo-skull though, those guys are unappreciated as it is, so it's nice to see them on models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Sorry to burst the bubbly, but he gives the impression of someone vertically challeneged; where his leg armour would realistically end and meet the torso, means he has a torso about an inch tall.

Brother-Captain Sharp Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I really like a lot of the work you did here. He's got some great pieces to him. The only thing that really bugs me is the terminator butt plate in the front. It immediately makes me think his legs are backwards. :/ Small bother, though.

The only thing that really bugs me is the terminator butt plate in the front. It immediately makes me think his legs are backwards. :/ Small bother, though. I'm pretty sure those are groin plates, if this picture is anything to go by: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Custom...ain_873x627.jpg Oh... It turns out they are not groin plates. I've been doing it wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The butt pate you've mentioned here is a groin plate from the assault terminator box set, ive just filed off the icon.. I was going to use the bigger sergeants one but it was a bit much.

Firepower Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 As others have said, a very clever kit bash you've managed there. I can honestly say I never imagined I'd be impressed by a space marine with a bandanna :rolleyes: Â The bulky no-way-in-hell-you-can-hurt-this-guy look fits the Captain quite well.

KYR GKIKAS Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 one of the best conversions ever.Simple Effective Powerfull.Any other models to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorsaxe Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I like the work that you put into the mini and it shows. I have the original cortez and it seemed to me to be very uninspiring. Tho' I do remember the facial detail was very well done on that mini. Your cortez is well done sir, cudos. Respects, Emperorsaxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
