Redfinger Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 So here is my take on Captain Lysander, he will be leading my IF's off to battle. I struggled with the color choices for a while and then someone mentioned the purple for the cloak and I jumped on it, at this point I am glad I did. Overall I am fairly happy with the result, I tried some new things out and I rather like the way the look. There are 2 spots that I think could have come out better, but I would rather just put the done stamp on this guy and move one. Namely the laurels on the shield look a little blah, and the thunder hammer too, I was trying to make the thunder hammer look like marble, did not quite work out, but I am done, that is what I wanted. Anyway enjoy the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Very nice - love that blending. Don't forget the writing on the purity seals, though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blender Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I like how he is getting ready to shield bash someone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Great model, lysander should be the IF chapter master.....nuff said. Really like the face painting there, along with the cape just a great model all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 very well done! The mini is absolutely flawless. I kinda get the feeling that the base isn't quite up to his standart, though. It looks almost unpainted if you compare the two. Just adding something with a little colour would add a lot in my oppinion (the broken helmet of an iron warrior with necro; a tyranid bodypart; etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Looks good the imperial eagle on the shield could use something to make it pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Looks really good. I like the colors you've used for his shield & cloak. When can we expect to see some more of your IF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dakath Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I love how that cloak turned out! Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfinger Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 @Olis- Yeah purity seals are hit and miss for me. sometimes I letter sometimes I dont, lettering of any kind is something I just dont do very well, I really need to work on it more. @Blender- Thanks, I dont know if you can tell or not, but I changed the position of his arms a bit, felt the stock model is a little "compact" and his arms a bit too close together, I used some putty and spread his arms a bit to add some motion to the model. @Dorn-I used to be really bad at faces, I think this is one of the best I have done, I can now consistently produce quality paint jobs on faces, thanks for noticing that. @Validar- The base is temporary, I have a nice set of "steps" that I am working on that he will be placed on, the 3d drawing needs to be finalized then I will mill it and I will use that one. @Grim-Agreed, I was noticing that as well, I am just not sure what why I want to push the highlight, taking yellow may work, but taking it to the fleshy side might cool it down a bit what do you think? @Angry- hopefully soon!! I have about 70 marine built for the 5th company, and I have all the rhinos built as well, I have everything to finish the 5th compay, I just am running a little short on time these days. @Dakath-yes the cloak is my favorite as well.
