mercury Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have today completed painting the force of nature that is Mephiston. So I have a model I'm really proud of (albeit in the :tu: ty GW pose), with obscene rules. How can I resist the temptation to use him in every game? C&C welcome as usual. Right, back to my Lamenters and converting a Storm Raven. http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab87/mercury82_photos/Lamenters/DSCF1231.jpg?t=1298128413 http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab87/mercury82_photos/Lamenters/DSCF1227.jpg?t=1298128413 http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab87/mercury82_photos/Lamenters/DSCF1228.jpg?t=1298128413 http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab87/mercury82_photos/Lamenters/DSCF1232.jpg?t=1298128413 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkfish Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Wow - nicely done Mephiston there. The force sword looks lovely and I'm a fan of the flesh tone you've achieved there. Top job mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zincite Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I don't get why everyone dislikes this model. Sure he's not in a brilliant pose, but compare him to many of the other old metal models and he's really good... Anyways, great job brother. Mind me asking how you did those plasma coils?

Felmid Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I still have this model in the blister and after looking at your very great job on this one, I think I will leave it there a while longer. PS: He is in good company on the shelf with several other older minis that I hope to some day get around to painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
