Artemid Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Very nice! I gotta say though... the two figures are way too close together. Arc the axe head along a full swing, especially to end up at that spot, and he would have taken off both his foe's legs with the shaft, instead of one leg with the axe head.

GhostMalone Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 I must remind everyone it's still just a rough mock up. Ill add some distance between the models as well :) still need to add some ruins to the base not to much though. And now with the release of more mechanicum units I can start on my IG and Mech attachments in between painting my WE. I gotta thank everyone here on the B&C before I came on here with my first photos of angron I was lacking confidence in the painting department. Now however I'm feeling confident enough to attempt the dreaded greenstuff :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostMalone Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Finishing Stages of the Wolf Eater so a quick update I realised that since im waiting on bases to be made that ill just give a sneak peak http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/IMG_10081_zpsf7ae1a01.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/IMG_10101_zps42b4d293.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 He looks really good so far, I like the weathered and slightly textured look to his armor you have going on there. Are you planning on adding some kind of contrasting color to the runes on his shield? I would suggest a bright teal color to look like weathered metal possibly. I would also suggest you get your finger tips out of the photo. I stick the pins on the bottom of my minis into corks or pieces of dowel rod to hold them while I paint and photograph them. I'm begging you to do the same, the camera you are using keeps focusing on your skin not your nice minis. We demand better pics next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys look amazing and I can finally see them clearly for the first time. I think that you should just take all of your pictures like this from now on. The minis are in focus and the details are much easier to see compared to the ones where you are holding them. Thanks so much for this shot, I really appreciate it.

Brother Heinrich Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I second what Mikhail said brother. Super close isn't always whats best. Also you can make yourself a nice little light-box for the cost of one white t-shirt and a roll of tape. Here's my setup.http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/602004_10152121848098761_1494305342_n_zpsd397f967.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
