winterdyne Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Painting is coming on nicely, but the damn sword keeps warping... http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/michie/emp_champ_wip1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatosen Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Love the black.. That's not pure Chaos Black, is it? Also big fan of the high lighting. Considering my next army to be BTs... This just added to my considerations. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 The black is VMC Black blended through VMC Black Grey to some Codex Grey edges, using a forward rough / backward layering method. Occasional extremes with fortress grey and VMA white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Beautiful work as always! Love the shattered shoulder pad, that must have taken some serious patience... I know what you mean about warping, my Techmarine power axe does the same, everytime I straighten it, it slowly reverts back to looking like the letter S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Swap out the sword i did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Aye, to do that I'd need to source a metal Emp. Champ. I'll touch base with the client, see what he wants to do. It's not that far off true really (I have real swords that bow more), the problem (on this mini) could certainly be worse. It's just a pain it won't stay straight.

Sgt. Tiberus Satio Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I like it, but I have just a general question. Why the crack texture on the Templar shoulder pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 'Official answer': I was aiming to give the model an aged feel, without going into battle damage or heavy weathering. Really though, it's just an effect I like, and felt like doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy-xc Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Cracked texture is cool. Howd you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_giles Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 They gave him the Finecast treatment? Nice. I thought he'd been out of production since the Eye of Terror campaign began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Cracked texture is cool. Howd you do it? Thin lines of codex grey with a spot of VMC black grey here and there, highlights underneath in pure VMA white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Starting to feel this is done. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/michie/emp_champ_gd_done1.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/michie/emp_champ_gd_done2.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/michie/emp_champ_gd_done3.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/michie/emp_champ_gd_done4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
