Nemac Vradon Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I painted this model for a friend but before I continue painting the rest of the unit I thought I would post it here and ask for some opinions. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cR6fzXW7OHE/Up9MOE6USSI/AAAAAAAABB8/lrQtWL9kpWE/s400/IMG_0512.JPG C&C welcome!

JeffTibbetts Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I love those Chosen models, and I must say your colors really pop the details. I like my Slaanesh models a little more disturbing, but this is a good example of the other end of the spectrum. That color is really pretty cool. Is it metallic?

Nemac Vradon Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks, the final colour is Slaanesh Grey and the metal is Mithril Silver washed with Leviathan Purple and then Mithril again. I was thinking of doing each member of the unit with slightly differing purples and pinks as I read somewhere they all changed there armour with those sorts of colours after their fall to chaos. I may try and make them more disturbing, maybe make the tabards looked like flayed skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Damn son. Not bad. I'd prefer his little mouth cable to be fleshy. Also that mouth on his right leg? Put a nice long tongue there. It's Slaanesh were talking about dammit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Do it. Surely you feel compelled to. Look at the Forge World Kakophoni minis for ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemac Vradon Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 I think your right, the fleshy tongue does sound better. I'll try the leg face thing in an alternate colour as well. I'll post a picture when I'm done :) Pink maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Agreed about the mouth cable. That's what I was thinking. Flayed skin is always a nice touch, too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 FACES. This model needs more faces. He took the face skin of someone and nailed it to his armour. maybe you could make a loincloth or banner that is the face skin of someone. I'd find it rather unnerving.

Nemac Vradon Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 OK, made some changes. Flayed skin tabard, pink fleshy tongue and daemon face. What do you guys think now? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xIELSAqJ_V0/UqBdnBb5sPI/AAAAAAAABCQ/C0lypJjWYGM/s640/IMG_0513.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 For a test mini he's looking great. Before I make a suggestion on research material, how old are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frater Cornelius Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 id suggest more skin. strap something aross the black pauldron. it looks way to clean for slaaneshy CSM. but a good start with the skin loincloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I really like that metallic purple/pink, very unusual and creative. Personally I prefer to paint the Daemon faces and such as a part of the armour that the Marine has shaped and crafted to decorate his form, but I think the organic approach works too. Hope to see some more of these! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Oh yeah. Much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyl- Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It's not at all like what I would have done, but I do like it. I also support the idea of doing different colors for each just because I get REALLY bored painting power armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Power armour can get monotonous to paint for sure. Try painting something totally different now and then. Helps keep it fresh. Last thing I did was a Malifaux Rotten Belle (Victorian Steampunk Horror zombie call girl). Not a single piece of armour in sight. Now I'm loving painting the Kakophoni armour.

Slave to Darkness Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 For a test mini he's looking great. Before I make a suggestion on research material, how old are you? wheres this research material then huh huh huh??? I wanna see what nastys you dig up The test mini looks pretty sweet btw, try a bit of blood on the edges of the flayed skin, reinforces the grim look.
