Centurion Tom Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi guys here's a shadow captain I have been working on. The cape is my first attempt at modelling. He was originally going to have a jump pack but I decided against. C&C appreciated. http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae77/Catesy2021/DSCF0087.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae77/Catesy2021/DSCF0096.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221471-wip-raven-guard-shadow-captain/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Dude, awesome job on the sculpting for a beginner! One thing that's bothering me is the motionless purity seals. Even his cape is very flat for a figure who appears to be breaking into a running position. Either way not a bad start at all! Let's see it painted up. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221471-wip-raven-guard-shadow-captain/#findComment-2646063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 That a really cool model. What FW Marine armour kit did you use for the legs?? Make sure to varnish the resin before undercoating & then painting. It help to key in the paint, to help it stick on/not come off as much when apply onto resin parts, just stuff been told/taught while I done a NQ to HND model making course. FW staffer tend to say as well from time to time to varnish the resin before undercaoting & then painting..

Centurion Tom Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Thanks for the reply's Darth Potato: I see what you mean about the purity seals, i only we added them for detail, may move the one on the right shoulder pad. I know what you mean about the cape to but I doubt I can do much better at the moment. Still I've repositioned him a bit so the orc skull is moving the cape away from his body slightly. Insane Psychopath: The legs are from the Corvus pack. thanks for the tip about varnishing first.

Killian Doyle Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Nice conversion dude! It's just I don't picture a Raven Guard captain wearing a cape... As to the resin issue... I've never had a problem with the paint sticking to the model, that being said, I always wash my minis thoroughly with soap and warm water before painting them.

Centurion Tom Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 DavidKits: Yep Red Scorpion honour guard. Killian Doyle: I just find a cape helps the captain stand out from the rest of the troops. I'm putting together a command squad to roll with him. Although not today as I'm extremely hungover....
