rusty1109 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi all, I've finally finished my MOTF (on foot with conversion beamer), so pleased with him that I made up a tiny bit of fluff. He's the oldest currently serving techmarine in the imperium and he was given his twin frost blades Caledfwlch and Móralltach by the chapter master of the space wolves for his aid in repairing Bjorn the Fell-Handed after a particularly nasty encounter with the Necrons. Anyway here are the pics: Thoughts welcome! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232693-master-of-the-forge/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urb Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 That's a massive gun. A few things that could help showcase your conversions. The best thing you could do is try and be a bit more neat and tidy with your paint work. Maybe paint the cape a differnet colour to the armour. I'd avoid bright colours that would distract for the armour itself. Same goes for the mold lines. A bit more time removing them makes a big difference. Cool model though. It'll certainly get the attention of your opponents. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232693-master-of-the-forge/#findComment-2799542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Now THAT is a BFG! :) I like it. Nice use of the (I think) Commander cape. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232693-master-of-the-forge/#findComment-2799543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Yellow Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The paint is a bit thick, try watering it down and applying more layers. It's more time consuming but for centrepiece models the results are worth it. Also would like to see more contrast, maybe a dark wash in the recesses will help. On the other hand, that gun is MASSIVE (figuratively and literally), it shouldn't work but it does and I really like it, I don't know why I just do.

rusty1109 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi all, Thanks for the comments, I was plesantly suprised myself when the conversion beamer seemed to 'gel' with the model despite its large size, I explain it by having the servo skull doing all the targeting and aiming while the master himself focuses on fighting. I really wanted him to have the tech look without losing the martial presence that most other HQ's come with automatically. The paint job is about as good as it's going to get for me, hopefully I can come back to him when I've improved my skills. For now though I'd rather have him on the table painted next to my dreadnoughts. No-one complained about my fluff despite the copius amount of name dropping which is nice! Good spot btw warmaster, tis indeed a commander cape, he also donated one of the sword arms (mostly willingly)! Cheers all, Rusty Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232693-master-of-the-forge/#findComment-2800165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You didn't give me the chance to comment about the fluff :D First, oldest surviving techmarine? Don't be the most anything, the Imperium is a huge place and chances are there is someone older/faster/better than your DIY. The Space Wolf thing is nice, but make a random venerable, one of their oldest but not the oldest. Again, the most thing. Other than that, keep it :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232693-master-of-the-forge/#findComment-2800190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooday_218 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 That is a cool conversion, I agree with the paint thining and layering but all in all he's a nice model !
