Hey guys! I've been away from the forums a while. I've been really busy with school and commissions and haven't really had time for a breather. Finally, O get to post something of my own for you guys I've been working on for a while (finished a couple of months ago).

 

Now, before you ask, his weapon is the Space Wolves' equivalent of a Crozius Arcanum, not a Thunder Hammer :lol:

With that in mind, please let me know your thoughts on this guy, and please feel free to vote for him on CMON in the link below.

@ Rstoner: the black lines in the crevices are the soft armour of the marines' armour (supposed to be a different colour than the armour itself)

 

Oh right, thing is that's not meant to be soft armour. That would be mostly hidden behind the knee plate. The small disc shape detail above his right knee is part of the thigh armour and looks a little strange to me painted as part of a rather large gap between the plates. As I said though aside from that this mini is top draw and that's the only reason I've pointed this out :)

Ah, I see what you mean; normally that would be true with pretty much all SM legs GW puts out, but anatomically, there must be soft armour directly behind the kneepad to allow for mobility. When I modded him 'stepping up' at it were, that gap would open itself up a bit.
Beautiful paint job. Just getting that out of the way. However, positioning-wise, I would have had him looking down to his left in order to make it look like he was about to crash it down on some poor sap's head. It's too late to make a change like that, but the pose looked a bit awkward to me. But you made up for it almost completely with an absolutely SUBLIME paint job. The smoothness! It hurts my eyes!!! :)

Thanks so much; that was very nice of you :)

The weird thing about this model is how different camera shots make it look. I'm not even sure this shot conveys the 'victorious' posture of this guy, but oh well (I really wish I could show you guys in person :P)

 

I'll be posting a very early WIP of a nicely posed mini in the WIP section, so let me know if that pose tickles your fancy ;) (probably will be titled 'possible GD entry.... when I get 'round to painting it')

Well, I'd say that the helmet is loyalist due to pretty much happenstance and being battlefield debris (as if he was stepping on an IG lasgin or a severed hand). It's the same yellow because it fit in best with the palette, lol :cuss
