LutherMax Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hi there, my first post (hopefully of many) here :) I may run this guy as Brother Corbulo seeing as he's quite fancy...http://www.braintyrefire.com/personal/w40k/Blood-Angels/Blood-Angels-Sanguinary-Priest-01.jpghttp://www.braintyrefire.com/personal/w40k/Blood-Angels/Blood-Angels-Sanguinary-Priest-02.jpghttp://www.braintyrefire.com/personal/w40k/Blood-Angels/Blood-Angels-Sanguinary-Priest-03.jpghttp://www.braintyrefire.com/personal/w40k/Blood-Angels/Blood-Angels-Sanguinary-Priest-04.jpghttp://www.braintyrefire.com/personal/w40k/Blood-Angels/Blood-Angels-Sanguinary-Priest-05.jpg I should mention that I blatantly stole the idea for the conversion from SincaiN, whose blog is well worth checking out...

Olis Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Phwoar. He's a looker, isn't he? Everything is just so. Very nice work, brother. I do very much hope to see more from you. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Oh man, that is just beautiful. Im loving the dark, almost crimson, gore red on the robes, really smooth and nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 That's the best miniature I've seen in ages. It's magnificently done. How did you paint that gold? That muted colour reminds me of ancient items you would find in a museum, and it complements the other colours beautifully without drawing attention to itself.

Aqui Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I've never seen a Blood Angel with robes before, but the mini looks so good with it! The colours are so well done; the wings catch my eye and the red is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rift Blade Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Gotta say really well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Excellent work. The script on the blade is superb, as is the engine glow. Lots of goodness here, but those are my two favorite bits :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Lovin' the Unforgiven-ness of this model, he looks far more like a GotC than any silly Space Vampire :P Fantastic paint job and conversion, the eyes are spooky good :tu: One thing though... the red robes look exactly like the PA and Jump pack, I'm sure a painter of your calibre could add a little texture and/or a slightly different shade to make the robes look a little more like cloth. Sorry for the nit-pick, your work is sublime. :D stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disruptor_fe404 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Stellar work! The glows from the engine and the eyes are particularly well done (I'm a sucker for subtlety). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Forge Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 This marine encorporates everything I love about Space Marines and painting styles in general - it's pretty grim-dark with all the washes but is bright enough to be vibrant and eye-catching. Those Barded/Hooded helmets are my favorite on any single-character model - wonderful work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Matt Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 He looks great, a very ominous feel in the model and the paint job and the colours are beautifully crisp and defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Wow thanks for all the comments guys! It's nice to get such a positive response being new n' all. I've been practicing on my Blood Angels for a while and finally have the scheme and techniques down that I'm happy with. I have finished a few other units so I might post a little blog here somewhere and update it each time I finish something... Answers to questions... That's the best miniature I've seen in ages. It's magnificently done.How did you paint that gold? That muted colour reminds me of ancient items you would find in a museum, and it complements the other colours beautifully without drawing attention to itself. I discovered a nice little product called Rub n' Buff - it's not a paint, more of a metallic paste that you can sort of drybrush on. So the gold was really very simple: 1) Tin Bitz basecoat 2) Nuln Oil wash 3) Drybrush Rub n' Buff gold 4) Drybrush a tiny bit of Rub n' Buff silver 5) Sepia wash to seal NOTE: You have to be very careful drybrushing the Rub n' Buff - the flecks do tend to flick where you don't want them sometimes, so it's best to use a brush with bristles that aren't too coarse. Lovin' the Unforgiven-ness of this model, he looks far more like a GotC than any silly Space Vampire Fantastic paint job and conversion, the eyes are spooky good One thing though... the red robes look exactly like the PA and Jump pack, I'm sure a painter of your calibre could add a little texture and/or a slightly different shade to make the robes look a little more like cloth. Sorry for the nit-pick, your work is sublime. stobz I had the exact same thought while I was painting it... I was going to give the robes a brown wash but I was worried it wouldn't come out how I wanted so chickened out! You are right but until I figure out a way to make some distinction he'll stay as he is. Plus I have a LOT more units to paint ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 That's brilliant, thank you! I'll investigate this Rub n' Buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Eleysium Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Very nice model. Love the conversion work and the paint scheme. It is simple, but it's flashy enough to draw anyone's attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Simply excellent work, really crisp paintin and I like the palette. Is he from the Knights of Blood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 @ sincain - least I can do is generate some traffic ;) @ MR - nope he's a Blood Angel sanguinary priest - but in hindsight the scheme does look very much like the Knights of Blood!

Knight of the Raven Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Look at this, GW. Look at it. That's how you make a Blood Angel look good and not ridiculous with space nipples. Excellent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
