Moltar Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Just finished up painting this CSM for fun. I followed this tutorial at CMoN by Lemmingspawn for the lava base: http://www.coolminiornot.com/articles/1750 C & C's appreciated. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/2/5/181534_sm-Chaos,%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines,%20Conversion,%20Object%20Source%20Lighting,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/2/5/181528_sm-Chaos,%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines,%20Conversion,%20Object%20Source%20Lighting,%20Space%20Marines.JPG OSL from below: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/2/5/181529_sm-Chaos,%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines,%20Conversion,%20Object%20Source%20Lighting,%20Space%20Marines.JPG Thanks for looking & happy painting!

Firepower Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Looks like a pretty good paintjob, though it'd have been hard to tell you did any OSL without that from below shot...but is he armed with a corkscrew-gun? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moltar Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 My camera did not want to pick up any of that subtle OSL until I took the photo from below. I aimed to keep the OSL toned down a bit and didn't want it to look as though the CSM was inside a volcano, but rather standing next to a lava flow. As for his custom-bolter...I don't know what to tell you. At first, when I pieced it together I liked it, but after painting it, I'm somewhat indifferent to it. I like the bayonette and the extended barrel, but think the barrel itself, is too thin. Ideally, it was supposed to look like either an odd suppressor or vents to ease some of the recoil.

ravenguard2010 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I really like the style you've gone for on this. It's got a realistic quality to it. I love that sort of thing. Too much colour and sparkliness and the grim darkness of the far future is a bit, well, more like christmas. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moltar Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 @ravenguard2010: Thanks!! I tend to paint in darker tones and colors than standard GW paint schemes. I agree with you that bright colors do make it look too festive, especially for chaos. The last mini I did was a Plague Marine and, again, I went with a darker palette. You can see him here http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...e+plague+marine Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
