nurgling6688 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I found these guys in my basement over the holidays. I originally painted them up back when they first came out, they were for the display cabinet of the GW I worked at. That was about 7 years ago so I thought I could spruce them up a bit. I don't know why I keep not taking before and after pictures but oh well. I didn't touch the white much and the armor just received some brighter highlights and battle damage along with making it slightly crisper. I re-did the bolters and purity seals as well but where I spent most of the time on each model was the face, since its the focal point. They are getting thrown up on eBay soon. Let me know what you think. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/tyranicvet1.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/tyranicvet2.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/tyranicvet3.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/tyranicvet4.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/tyranicvet5.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/tyranicvet6.jpg I forgot how much character these guys have, they're pretty awesome. I'm thinking of painting up another pair of these guys and some Tyranids for a diorama for the Golden Demon. Let me know what you think. Also was just looking at the close ups and wondering why they look so dusty and I realized its because when I painted the armor 7 years ago I used Blue Ink to shade it which is super shiny.

Ah-a-nothepsis Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I love them. I don't like when people overdo highlights on blue, but your minis are great! Ahhhh all the krak grenades. Miss those rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Very nice. I'd bid for them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 I guess another quick question is do you guys think it would be worth my time to go back and fix up the white? Would the return be worth the effort? As is I'm thinking of starting them at $50 for the pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hmm, well, if you don't think the white is the best you can do, then why not fix it? You can then have no shadow of a doubt what to sell them for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Nice they look good maybe I should break mine out and paint them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The faces are brilliant, very characterful and bring the models to life. Like the way you've done the battle damage and the blue highlights - together with the deep blue recesses = very dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Malathir Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've always loved those models, and you've done them justice here. I'm a particular fan of all the battle damage on the legs. Good work brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The faces are very very good, I love a model where the face is crisp,clean and full of life. You should have no problem selling these boys. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
