Fate Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 First Painted Mini, Highlighting is hard! :< I didnt like this cast very much at all, almost all the surfaces are Rough http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/3/6/338439_md-.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/3/6/338440_md-.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/3/6/338441_md-.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Alaric Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 i like your execution of the paint job, however it's a bit too much red for me liking. now, that's my own preference so be proud of your model man. i really like the purple base man, very cool. well done my friend, an ec to be proud of!

Marshal Reinhard Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I like the colour scheme, a little unorthodox, but very stylish. Is this seriously your first miniature ever? That's crazy good. Seeing as you already have skill, I will point out that the chain around the neck still needs work. Tricky, but you've proven you can do thin highlights already. Interesting base, makes me think he's in a tyranid infested building or ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks, I decided todo red instead of white after a few practise attempts at white, will have to write lil bit of fluff about my crusade on why they red instead of white i guess :P Tried to learn painting the best I could off youtube starting with Jawaballs cause originally wanted to try BA (maybe why the red aswell? hehe ) my friend gave me the base to use since she uses them for her sisters but her lil alien stuff is blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roesor Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Not bad, not bad at all, perhaps too much red...maybe counter with using a white maltese cross on the red shoulder instead of black. Damn shame the swords bent really, don't try and fix it though, it'll likely break unless it's metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philsminions Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Nicely done. I'm not a big fan of our EC mods, but we have to work with what we got, don't we? ;) I like the color scheme. I've been on the fence about the red tabbards, but I think I've warmed up to them and plan on doing a couple on a command squad...whenever I can get around to doing one! Really nice right pauldron...the highlights and shading are spot on! I agree with Roesor on the white cross...might look pretty good against that red. Can't wait to see how your future models come out. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Knight Purifier Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Is that just a Badab Black wash on the tabard? How did you do the shading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fate Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Initiate #1 WiP How can I make his Tabard better...? I know the Red was the main Critique So tried todo a more normal look. Tried to Learn how to paint it from a tutorial I found when looking thru the BT resource but mine didnt turn out that good... hehe http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/3/8/339098_md-.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Definatly not gonna go with white shoulder pads, ended up ripping his arms off lol maybe white cross n white trim or go red like my EC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisada Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think the tabard looks pretty good from the picture. At my skill level I don't think I could improve it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 never want to build a lrc again!!!! some parts didnt want to go together properly so got some gaps :D http://images.dakkadakka.com/s/i/gallery/img/2012/3/9/339658_md.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfeild32 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 on the tabard highlight his belt so that way it stands out from his tabard. Also dont worry alot of things are like that. You should try to build a landspeeder if you think those gaps are hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iago Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Very nice. I love the dark red on the EC, and the stand out purple on the base. The tabard on the Initiate is also well done. Cant wait to see that crusader up and done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fate Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 wow i did not like building a speeder lol and instructions kind of suck! shows the 2 doors you can put in so i put the closed ones on so i didnt have to paint inside the back, little did i know til later on in the instructions that you need the ones with the small holes to put the typhoon launchers into!!! then i wanted to die when i realized the mistake of glueing the pilots into it before painting lool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
