Noctis Sanguine Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hey, this is my first time posting a figurine in here, so I hope you guys like it. I had a real time converting and painting this figurine, I think it's my best 40k painted figurine so far. As I haven't painted much 40k. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d18/Pitaya_CrimsonLord/My%20minis/DSC00338.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d18/Pitaya_CrimsonLord/My%20minis/DSC00337.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d18/Pitaya_CrimsonLord/My%20minis/DSC00336.jpg If you would like more picture requests then please do not hesitate to ask them, next Ill be painting a stern-guard vet squad to accompany him.

Brother Cambrius Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Nice work! Smooth paintjob and the red contrasts nicely with the blue, although should the shoulderpad be a parchment colour? I like the faint green at the centre of the force blade too. A little extra depth on the tabard might add to it too, maybe use devlan mud mixed with a dab of badab black? Overall, well done brother. ;) EDIT: I completely missed the fact that your model is a conversion kitbash, I gotta say a bravo on the wokr oyu did as I thought it was a GW model I hadn't discovered yet!

Cambrius Thank you so much for your comments, they really hearten me to continue this project with even more motivation. The shoulder guard... yes it should had probably been bleached and the tabbard red I used this armor as a reference for it: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/images/bonus/Da...rII_bonusLG.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachdannan Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Really great models. Really cool looking librarian, haven't seen a beakie librarian before and I think you have done a good job. And your red is amazing, care to share the recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Sweet models bro. Loving that Corvus helm on the Librarian too, you don't see that too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 god damn those Ravens are freaking awesome! Really well done. The librarian is way off, though, Mk VI with kneepads? Tsk, tsk ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Sanguine Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thank you so much for the compliments lads, it really means a lot to me. :D Here is the picture of a missile launcher Marine, I am giving them greek like tabbards to represent the special weapons on the squads. Also because of the Blood Ravens Mediterranean nature. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d18/Pitaya_CrimsonLord/DSC00424.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d18/Pitaya_CrimsonLord/DSC00428.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d18/Pitaya_CrimsonLord/DSC00425.jpg Ill post an updated pic of the entire squad tomorrow which consist of a couple of more Marines, including a melta gun marine which is almost finished. Validar: At the beggining I was going to convert him from the torso and leggs of a veteran Dark Angel plastic bitz, but I kinda forgot because I really liked the metal librarian that you see above. So I took off the head, placed a corvus helmet there and gave him a psychic hood. The cables are on his backpack so they are not exposed on his front if it comes to close combat fighting. I like to think it is a relic helmet hehe. Maybe someday Ill convert him with the other originally intended armor. The recipee for the red is: Dark Flesh, then add abit of blood red and so on, progresively. Sometimes you gotta put a line of blazing orange and then vomit brown for the lights. Ill post a tutorial later on. =) Again thank you guys for the support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baragash Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Your painting is fantastic :P But..... is it me or does the Librarian's left arm have a large mould line down the back of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
