Aegnor Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 This army is amazing. Kudos to you facemanpob. I love the look and your use of colour. Inspired to tackle my undercoated DV models now. I'll be doing them as DAs, but will probably pinch your "coloured robes rather than coloured armour" idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frejdruk Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Great looking models, and amazing work with the blue robe of the librarian! I, too, shall steal the idea of marking special 'professions' by differently coloured robes rather than armour. Your, and others' as well, DV models have really inspired me to get a set of them myself ;) Carry on the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Steal away! :D So, the Librarian is complete! ...... although in taking the photos I've just realised that I haven't done the little skulls on the bottom of his robes! Dammit! Why do you only ever spot these things AFTER you've taken the photos?! <_< Anyway, here he is........you may notice that I didn't base him in the slotta base supplied. I thought he was too nice a model not to do something a bit more fancy :) http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/IMG_0765.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/IMG_0767.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/IMG_0768.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I really wouldn't like to see that on the field coming at me from the opposite direction. Really. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 That's awesome fmp, I am loving the blue on the robe more and more but I must say that it seems odd and unfinished with the raised stripes not having been painted a different colour. I would think gold, yellow or lastly the same red as the DA symbol would be best but that's just my taste. Great looking base, understated and not detracting from the awesomeness of the mini but executed perfectly. Well done. s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Truly great result there facmanpob! :blush: Just one comment: The Librarium symbol on the shoulder pad, any plans of some more detailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 @ Stobz: Oh dammit! :cuss: I've been looking at that hem thingy on the bottom of the robes and trying to use jedi powers to make it go away, beacuse I really don't like it. I like my robes to just go to the floor without fancy designs! And from tabletop distance you can't really see it, but you are right, I need to paint it. Not sure whether to do gold or red, I'll try my new pot of Gehenna's Gold out on it I think. @ Captain Semper - I really am not sure about the shoulder pad. If you recall I didn't do anything with the skull on the shoulder pad of the Chaplain either, mainly cos I was worried what a giant bone head would look like! :) Oh well, I've got to do the blades of reason on the Chaplain and the skulls on the bottom of the inner robes of the libby anyway, so I guess I'm not starting on the Rhino's for another night or two (sorry Isiah!). :P More photos to follow once finally complete! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Me too about the plain robe thing, but what are we to do? he is damned near cool as Zeke. Bang a sepia wash or similar over the skull to give it a little difference from the pad? Brainstorming.com s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 ....he is damned near cool as Zeke. Too true, too true, he is one of the coolest minis I've seen in a while....makes me wonder why they bothered with Finecast, when they can get this sort of result using what is essentially push-fit plastic, but that's a whole different issue! :) Bang a sepia wash or similar over the skull to give it a little difference from the pad? Brainstorming.com Yeah, that might be enough to set it apart. If it doesn't work I'll go over it with Gehennas gold and see how that looks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 very nice! lvoe the robes and the contrast with the metal. the blue lightning bolt is a nice change too. agree about why with the finecast vs plastics considering the detail. i imagine there is a good reason (cost to make molds vs parts etc maybe? better detail supposedly - yet to see it) agree the bone work could do with a wash to give it a bit more depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facmanpob Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Okilee-dokilee! After the harsh and uncalled for criticism of Stobz and Captain Semper, I have completely repainted my Chaplain and Librarian! ;) Only joking! I've done some touch-up work as per the suggestions, which were, of course, entirely correct, and I think I now consider the Chaplain and Librarian complete......... unless someone spots somthing else :) Without further ado.... http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/Characters/IMG_0775.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/Characters/IMG_0780.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/Characters/IMG_0778.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/Characters/IMG_0781.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/Characters/IMG_0783.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/Characters/IMG_0784.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/Characters/IMG_0786.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/Characters/IMG_0788.jpg Hope you enjoy......right, on with finishing the Rhinos! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 IMHO the chaplain robes need to be darker because they appear too much like they're in same colour as the armour, but overall a great paintjob on both characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaced Hulk Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Fantastic army, the best Guardians of the Covenent I've seen!

facmanpob Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 John, Paul, George, Ringo and Tupac Sorry, it was Lord Lucan replacing Ringo on the drums. Ringo was busy recording Thomas the Tank Engine! ;) Well, I managed to finish my Rhino and Razorback before the end of the month, which is nice. I also have to make an admission. Apart from the Landspeeder I painted as part of the ETL, these are the first vehicles (i.e. tanks) I have ever painted! :) Not entirely sure how I've managed to get this far in painting 40K stuff without painting a tank before, but there you go! They've been assembled and primed for over a year....... Anyway, here they are......:) The names come from pseudo-Latin translations of the words Guardian and Covenant http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/3rd%20Company/IMG_0789.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/3rd%20Company/IMG_0791.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/3rd%20Company/IMG_0799.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/3rd%20Company/IMG_0792.jpg Internal shot into Rhino Coeratos http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/3rd%20Company/IMG_0796.jpg To help explain the paint scheme, I present a Veteran squad disembarking Razorback Locatum and taking up shooting positions http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/3rd%20Company/IMG_0800.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/3rd%20Company/IMG_0802.jpg Right, on with the Dark Vengeance Company Master :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
