mega_marines Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 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. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0564.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0565.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0566.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0567.jpg Parts are: 1.Gabriel Seth 2.

Tyrannicide Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 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?

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.

mega_marines Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks man. APparently it's simple enough for people to already ask me if he came this way, and then I show them the WIP pics. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219603-malakim-phoros-more-lamenters/#findComment-2620290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Angel Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 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.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Obviously you mentioned problems with the lighting, but he is yellow right? He looks orange.

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 <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219603-malakim-phoros-more-lamenters/#findComment-2620732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattCrawford Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Nice conversion. The paint is a bit thick on the face, and the backpack is FAR too busy. Otherwise great work!

Plague Angel Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Not bad, not bad! I especially like the Exsanguinator. Can I see his back? The multi-wing thing is interesting, and I think I'm getting an idea.

mega_marines Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 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: http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0599.jpg Also, DAT CAMERA GLARE....

Plague Angel Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hm, hm, hm... it looks good from the back too. Though I'm still not sure about my idea. I'd have to try it out and see if it works in person I think.
