Brother Christopher Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for the kind words! The miniature is ready, I'll post proper pictures tomorrow. Here's a WIP image of the base. The 'rocks' are made out of plasticard. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/WH40K%20Female%20Inquisitor/P1060790_zps8845eb49.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtSwifty Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Brilliant model choice for the inquisitor. I like the paint scheme, but i think the little motif on her chest needs another dose of highlighting, looks a little dull. Conversion work is seamless.

Brother Christopher Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I know! I know, but I can't do anything about it! It just doesn't turn out the way I'd like, I don't know why. Those bits are cursed or something. And thank you! Here are images of the finished mini, with her skull-friend, and a base. I decided to make such a 'flat' base to make her visually lower. If she' stood on a regular base and on the rock (which I didn't date to remove), she'd seem too high when standing amongst marines. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/WH40K%20Female%20Inquisitor/P1060796_zpsb9660ab2.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/WH40K%20Female%20Inquisitor/P1060799_zps950163be.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/WH40K%20Female%20Inquisitor/P1060800_zpsfa89f503.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/WH40K%20Female%20Inquisitor/P1060801_zps55d2f44a.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/WH40K%20Female%20Inquisitor/P1060803_zps4ee39dad.jpg The base turned out exceptionally well, at least that's how I feel. I'll try and make more of those for my other characters. I have to say that this was an interesting project, which gave me a lot of satisfaction and an opportunity to breathe. It was nice to paint something other than black armour for a change. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm having a considerable of craving for painting, but because of a small pre-ETL detox, I can't really do much. So I decided to finish this dude (after like 3-4 months), that I posted some WIP images some time ago. I still need to improve my face-painting skills. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/Neurode%20Crusade/P1060849_zpseae81d8e.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/Neurode%20Crusade/P10608471050_zps8820dbcd.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/Neurode%20Crusade/P1060846_zps431aa6f7.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/Neurode%20Crusade/P1060847_zps3f3fc6d9.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/Neurode%20Crusade/P1060844_zpscfd4c74d.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/Neurode%20Crusade/P1060845_zps6da8e2d8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Christopher Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Here's a summary of my progress in this years ETL so far. I wanted to use my free time to the fullest, and this is what I managed: a Castellan and Sternguard Sword Brethren. Can't wait to finish them. Castellan: http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070198_zps780a8372.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070199_zps7bb70449.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070201_zps039d7343.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070202_zps354e5aae.jpg SB Sternguards: http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070210_zps6bfaaa78.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070213_zpsfb6e8aac.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070226_zpsd61a3bf5.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070227_zpsdea8cb4f.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070228_zps58a93a93.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070208_zps1e9ac141.jpg And some close-ups on the detail, I'm particularly proud of: http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070211_zps5a9f68f8.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070212_zps59dc8e61.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070214_zpse609a5ea.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070215_zpsbf6f73ee.jpg I quite like how these models look in black ;-) For Sigismund!

Son of Carnelian Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 These guys look great! My only constructive criticism would be on your faces, it seems like you put on significantly more paint than on the armor. How are you painting your faces? Are you watering down the skin colors at all? Other than that, you have a really incredible force of Black Templars. Seriously, that wall of heavy armor just blew me away!

Forté Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I really hate to say this but... Love the details you've added. Actually like your BT. Two gripes though (really sorry). Drill your gun barrels. That look so much better when done. Put another, smaller highlight at the top edges on the armour plates. Will give it a bit more direction to light. And best of luck with your vow. Though I hope we dance on Imperial corpses ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Thank you very much! The barrels are drilled, it's just difficult to see them, there's no paint in them yet. And I might add that additional highlight, but doing the 2 layers is already tedious and time-consuming. So, every time I paint, I have this inner struggle. I'm also considering thinning the lines, but I'm not sure I want to do that. I kind of like thick highlights, especially from a 'gaming perspective,' but finer lines look better in photos. When it comes to faces, I do water them down. But the problem maybe is that I never got any other skin-toned paint. I use dwarf flesh, mixed with other paints to get lighter/darker tones. And I can't seem to hit the eyes with my brush which is all that apparent in the close-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Christopher Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 ETL progress update. I started working on my venerable dreadnought. I don't know why, but don't feel like finishing anything. It's better to stop a given project at 70%, do another one to 70% an then consider finishing both. Duh... Pictures: Highlighted with codex grey, then administratum grey. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070416_zpsd3450289.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070417_zps5ee5d9e5.jpg Legs have one layer of highlights. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070418_zpsa993c578.jpg And the top and bottom dry-fitted together. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/ETL/P1070419_zps4a3e8b70.jpg It's a bit messy, but I'm trying out a new "messy" approach. The idea is to trade quality for speed in the initial stages, and after doing most of the job get back to the imperfect places: to redo slips of the brush; to make the lines finer etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Christopher Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 A follow-up on the marshal. I wanted to try and make something similar to the 360* spin images GW has on their website. Well, without the proper tools and knowledge, I had to settle for a rotating gif http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/8-20-2014/nB493o.gif Future ones, if any, will be better. I learned my lesson: I have to watch the focus more closely and find another rotating base, as this one is mounted on top of a screw and it raised slightly after finishing the spin. I wanted to share this, nonetheless. Hope you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
