Brother Benedictus Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Anyways I'm just starting my BT crusade, just need a few more things for a mechanized list and I finally got my marshal painted up even with painted eyes which I didn't think I was going to be able to do http://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/at/at2/2011/11/10/6c8fe8c8518372be35cf466040e31285_31230.jpghttp://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/at/at2/2011/11/10/0f8405e1d36bea130c0b48735ba60bbb_31230.jpghttp://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/at/at2/2011/11/10/e9aeefe365a9dda1e2fa85abaf3f7b8e_31230.jpghttp://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/at/at2/2011/11/10/ffd8fca1fc5927cd31729039647bbb35_31230.jpg c&c are always appreciated...I might have to fix the rim around the base though with some greenstuff or something though...hmm also after taking these pictures I went and added highlights to the power weapon and ironhalo with some mithril silver...anyways enjoy =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241731-just-started-bt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
philsminions Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Awesome job! He looks really nice. I especially like the highlights on his armor...the bane of my painting existence! Keep it up, I look forward to more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241731-just-started-bt/#findComment-2920742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Benedictus Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thank you philsminions looking at these pics I noticed alot of stuff I gotta fix...like narrowing the highlights on his hand with the mace...fixing those blasted litanies on his loincloth...highlighting the ironhalo...fixing the base where that gap is....and his beltbuckle too...well he is WiP lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241731-just-started-bt/#findComment-2920746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looks pretty solid to me. The subtle shading on the cream (creme?) colored bits is nicely done in particular. Also, I'm pretty fond of the lightning on the mace and the OSL of the plasma pistol. If I'd focus on improving any one skill set, I'd say the red all looks kind of flat, and could use some highlighting love. Also, if I understand things correctly, your camera might have an easier time focusing with a flat, detail-empty background, rather than a bunch of models at varying depths in the background.

Done and done...the reds were highlighted with bloodred and then a red ink was put other them...but the ink pretty much swallowed up the highlights...but thank you I redid the edges with blood red Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241731-just-started-bt/#findComment-2920754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blender Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Cool work man! That face you painted looks so real. Unlike me, I cannot paint faces so all my marines are forced to wear helmets haha.

Unlike me, I cannot paint faces so all my marines are forced to wear helmets haha. Yea I was kinda nervous about painting faces....honestly thought I wouldn't be able to do it at all...I only have 4 other models that are bare headed, only heads I have bare are ones with the breathers a few that are the same as in the pictures that I posted and a few of the more unique ones I horde up for HQs...oh and I have one of those heads where a full half looks metal...going to save that for something really special...and that robotic arm with the chainsword...but...I dunno I'll have to play that into something lol Thank you for the comments guys maybe I'll get a blog started on here =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241731-just-started-bt/#findComment-2920798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisada Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 He looks great. Calm, cool, collected, and ready to lead his religous zealot brothers into the thick of it in the name of the Emperor!

Brother Benedictus Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'm wondering if I should have made the cross on his chest white? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241731-just-started-bt/#findComment-2922695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
