Malakim Phoros + More Lamenters

Recommended Posts

So what does everyone think of my Malakim Phoros conversion? He's the Chapter Master of the Lamenters, according to Imperial Armor Volume Nine: Badab War Part 1. I even made his model as close as I could to his rules and description. As mentioned before, his armor will be painted gold according to his background and such. Please excuse the flash and lighting, as it ruins a whole lot of work put into the model. I solemnly swear it's loads better in person.

Good model, man! I think the face could use some work but mainly because the paint is a bit thick there. Does the cape come with the Seth model or is that from somewhere else?

 

 

Funnily enough, all the paint used on him was 1:1 mix of Water/Paint unless it required blending, but in person none of the paint is actually thick looking. Must be the lighting.

 

And the cape is indeed from the Seth model.

Ah, great to see it painted! One thing's bugging me though: those are pretty clearly side-burns on his cheeks, but they're flesh-colored! Makes his head look kind of odd-shaped. I'd do those to match his hair or, if you don't like them, maybe try and file them off so his face is smooth.

Yeah, Im debating on painting them in or filing them off. I'll think about it for a bit.

 

Obviously you mentioned problems with the lighting, but he is yellow right? He looks orange.

 

Oh, his armor is golden, as described in his background.

I'd imagined a very yellow gold, to be honest, never occured to me anyone would dare disagree with my interpretation :)

 

Haha, I always pictured Dante's gold.

 

Also, I painted the chops on Malakim too. Looks better now! Pics will be up soon.

Hah, thanks.

 

For the wings it's simply putting the first wings in normally, and then laying another right over it and twisting it up so the wing clips sit right next to the secondary thrusters:

Wow these are so cool man, seriously. Malakim Phoros and everyone else, absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend keeping the muttonchops, theyre just too characterful to file off. Please? :)

 

Hah, kept. Just for you. :)

 

That yellow is intense.

 

I really like the Exsanguinator. He has a Gerard Butler in 300 look about him.

 

Thanks! And yeah, people have already made quite a few 300 references when they see him. All of which are positive thankfully.
