25th Anniversary Emperors Champion


AridMonk

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, thought I would show you all my Emperors Champion I did for last weekends celebrations, waited until I could get my hands on a digital camera for some decent pics, then decided that my iphone did a better job, so go figure.

 

Anyhoo, pics. Hope you like him!

Very VERY nice Templar Brother AridMonk.

 

I too like the base, maybe too much as it takes the eye away from the model :) Maybe a couple of brighter highlights on the tip and or edge of the sword and the very edges of his backpack and/or armour would draw the eye back up. (That's just me thinking about painting composition and no reflection on your obviously excellent skills).

 

I'm with Isiah and love the choice of colour on the tabard, very cool(could also do with a tad more edge HL too). Also the nicely done leather gloves.

 

Sorry about giving CnC, I'm no master and the model is sweet regardless.

Wow, thanks guys! Really awesome to see the feedback this guy is getting!

 

@AyanamiKun

Nicely done indeed! Just one question: How did you make/get the base?

 

The base was just different thicknesses and types of plasticard glued to a standard GW base, with a hold cut through to show the pipes I glued underneath. Here's a wip I found on my phone-

Thank you for your feedback, no matter from a master or a novice, interpretation and opinions help to make a better painter :confused: The highlights got a little muted when I varnished him I think, particularly so on the purple. May revisit him soon and up the purple highlights, we'll see :D

 

@vanguardwolf

but the sword is a bit to large and the pose is a bit odd imho(sorry)

 

Compared to todays models he is posed a bit weird, but 12 years ago when he was released he was the coolest model around, and little 10 year old me was mighty gutted to have missed out on him when he was released as a limited edition for Games Workshops 25th anniversary. :D

 

@Olisredan

Great model (I like the OSL) but I think the purple robes drag down the average - they seem a little flat in colour. Is it the camera angle that's done that or does it need a little more highlighting?

 

Yeah I think the varnish muted the dark colours on him quite a bit, which is fine for the black, not so good for the purple and the sword. May go back soon and touch him up.

 

 

Thanks for all the feedback folks, keep it coming!
