winterdyne Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Kicking off another army project with a Mephiston resculpt. Still a fair bit of work to do, but this should give a general idea of where I'm going with this: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/mephiston_wip1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The pecs look a bit... off, on that armor. Otherwise, a great start. Oh, and the plasma pistol with the scope on the cooling coils. Not your fault, but I hate that. What sense does it make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Kinda reminds me of Batman and Robin batnipples. Otherwise, excellent conversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Fell Hand Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Looking good so far. I like the idea of basing, however he loses a lot of "power" with that stance. Looks like he's desperately clinging to that and trying to not fall with his feet wrapped as they are. Maybe sculpt onto the base to make it so he stands flat and thus looks more balanced and grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galorn Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I couldnt help but think "SURFS UP" when I first glanced at the resculpt, but it looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 More progress: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/mephiston_wip2.jpg And a comparison shot with the old mini: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/meph_comparison.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Sculpt is about done I think, ready for primer. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/mephiston_wip3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 looking beautiful, the person who commisioned this will be very happy. the Mephiston model does need an update, you should give GW a buzz and show them how it should be done!

Brother Nihm Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Teeny tiny nitpick, I'd nix the flash on his left shoulderpad. I find that it is a royal pita to paint with lines breaking up the flat surface like that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdyne Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Some paint hit Mephiston over the last couple of days. May change the robe to a deep red instead of the grey/brown. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/mephiston_wip4.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/mephiston_wip5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravendove Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 While the sculpting work is very well done and you've got proportions nailed, I'm a little put off by the pose. I can't quite put my finger on why either which is frustrating. In the lower-right panel, it looks like he's having a bit of a sit down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okysho Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I MUST know how you sculpt these so well! What does it take to that good at using green stuff? Your model is incredible. I can't even begin to describe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
their kin Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I love the model man, you are an amazing sculptor. Ravendove: I think what's doing it for you is the fact that the right leg doesn't seem to be supporting the weight, like it would naturally. I just see it as a crazy kung fu pose though, because Mephiston is a bawler. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Definitely great GS work there cheers! Is it just me or does Mephiston's armor remind you of Vlad the Impaler from Bram Stoker's Dracula? hah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Progress. Fairly pleased with how this is going, the face is looking smoother, the freehand's coming on nice and just needs the highlights on the tears / rips tweaking. Sword needs a little work, and I need to start thinking about the OSL for the plasma pistol. Basework will be starting to be blocked in over the next update or so. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangles/mephiston_wip6.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangles/mephiston_wip7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Getting there. Another day of tidying and tweaking I think. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/mephiston_wip8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Since Mephiston has been my favorite Warhammer character for about a decade now I am delighted to say...This is awesome! The view from the front is extremely intimidating. While I have been hoping for a new Mephiston model from GW it is doubtful it would compare to yours.

Zincite Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Nice paint job, but as has been said, the pose looks a little off. Like he's seeing how far apart he can make his legs go, or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 And I think, done: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/mephiston_done1.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/mephiston_done2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A17roolz Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/mephiston_done1.jpg That looks somewhat familiar... http://samanthanburton.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/vigo3.jpg Just kidding, great conversion! I've always thought the official sculpt wasn't nearly dynamic enough, but this certainly is -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
