Blindhamster Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 great job, the OSL looks much better now. He's very impressive, and definitely an inspiration to get my own Dante finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew J Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Winterdyne your work makes me want to strip all my stuff and start over. I love everything about this guy, pose, parts, and especially painting. Picture saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glendor Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I really love that model. The paint job, pose, and converted shield make it one of my favorite models ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Masterful work, brother. I'm going to be jealous of the owner now. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black.water Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Might i ask which colours you used for the armour? Some of the best SENNM i have seen in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 It's metallic. Mostly. The progression is: Scorched Brown, VMC Bronze Devlan Mud wash VMC Black horizon blend to VMC Leather Brown blend to VMC Old Gold blend to VMC Silver/VMC Old Gold mix. Extreme higlights with VMC Silver. Work back from the horizon, VMC Silver, Old Gold, Bronze, Bronze + Leather Brown but blend in specular highlight at this point. Reads harder than it is to do. Edit: Check post #61 in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Moving on with the honour guard, here's a first take. This guy will eventually be the equivalent of a company champion. I'll probably swap the shield out for a bigger one and use this to make the rest with a press mould. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard1_wip1.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard1_wip2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glendor Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Amazing the converted legs make it look like he is actually plunging the spear into an enemy. That is one of the best poses I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 This guy's pretty much built. The wings are attached to the JP rather than the back, same as the Chapter Master. Will help with painting (the JP/wings are just tacked on): http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard1_wip3.jpg And the Sanguinary Novitiate (Apothecary) - just his spear to finish off: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard2_wip1.jpg I may remove the decoration from the discs on the left shoulders and paint the chapter icon there instead... not sure yet.

subtlebrush Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 So incredibly awesome. I hope hes paying you good for these because they are beyond words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The speartips look empty compared to the rest of the model. Almost too big and too flat. Will you be making it more 3d with green stuff? Or is it a place holder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Nah, they'll just have the brace running up the centre of the blade, as on the champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Bit more progress. May redo the counterweight on the Apothecary's spear. It's a bit messy. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard1_wip4.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard2_wip2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Conversion work's pretty much done. Some chopped up sprue rubble and gritted sand will go on the bases later tonight. Should be set to prime and start painting tomorrow. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard3_wip1.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard4_wip1.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard5_wip1.jpg And a group shot: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guardall_wip1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCC Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 That is a wonderfully characterful squad, each Marine tells a story that combine (like Voltron!) to form a bigger story. Wonderful :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 They're going to be hell to play with, each time the squad loses a member you'd be biting your nails about which awesome hero to remove. Awesome work, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watcher in the Dark Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I've....gotta ask. How much was the commission on this set? You've done some impressive work on these miniatures, both with the paint and conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 I've done some extra work as this job was delayed by previous bookings overrunning, and the client had paid in full in advance. If I were to take a fresh booking to repeat this job, It'd be along the following lines: Chapter Master (competition standard) - £200 (£25 assembly / conversion, £175 paint) Honour Guard (tabletop character standard) - 5x £75 = £375 (£25 assembly / conversion, £50 paint) Parts cost (2 Sanguinary Guard sets, write off the astorath and other bits, I keep excess bits) = £41 So a total of around £616, plus postage and paypal fees etc which should (providing the shipment isn't to be insured for the full value) make the total outlay for the client just under £650. Model cost plus 10% deposit in advance, remainder on satisfactory photos for completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Basic candy coat done, this is pretty much what the finished tone will be. There'll be a layer of gloss over the top of it though. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/sanguinaryphalanx/honour_guard3_wip2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdyne Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 That is... a fair wad of cash, I must say. But you get what you pay for. Sterling work, brother. :P Considering the Master took around 35 hours, and the others are looking to be about 12-15 hours each, it's still under minimum wage. For the standard though, it's about what the market dictates. Not a game to get into if you're looking to get rich. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
