Olis Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 This project is a real slow burn, isn't it? Oh well. It's regular work I suppose, right? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Awesome work on the Libby - my favourite space marine model done justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yeah, it's a very long term job, and one that's been a complete nightmare from a business point of view- it was subcontracted out (twice) when I was working with other painters, unsuccesfully (and expensively), meaning I've had to shoe-horn it in as and when I can around faster turnaround pay-the-bills jobs. I really don't like doing that, and I'll be very glad when it's out the door and the closing payment's made. Definitely a 'Don't feckin' do that again' lesson in there somewhere, coupled with an 'Aren't you glad you communicate with your clients properly?'. That said, it's all starting to look quite nice, and the remaining stuff is getting more interesting - there's another 10 Assault Marines and then some very heavy conversion work on more Terminators and a Dreadnought.

Brother Heinrich Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I know the feeling dude, I had a Word Bearers commission that took me the better part of 6 months because of runaround and money issues. The army is looking great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vansh Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Such a beautiful army. I love all the conversion and free hand work. The OSL on the eyes are a really nice touch. Be exciting to see the completed army when it's finished. Thanks for posting, why I never will get into commission work myself. Goes from fun to you don't even want to paint your own models because you view it as work and not as a hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdyne Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Looks fantastic. I would love to see a Dreadnought in this style. You will. There is a very heavily converted, competition grade dreadnought as part of this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdyne Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Still pluggin' on this one. My consistency with paint is better than the camera it seems. I really can't spot these from the others without checking the unit marking or other small details.http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/5suns/5suns_squad5_front.jpghttp://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/5suns/5suns_squad5_back.jpg Group shot of the army so far: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/5suns/5suns_group180516.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exetus Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Awesome looking army. What units are still left to do? Five more Assault Marines, a Dreadnought, and 13 Terminators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 And now I have a 3d printer, and I'm learning how to use it! Conversions on the termies and dreadnought should be something interesting as I'll be able to make parts to suit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 More assault marines. Without doubt my longest-term project. All that's left is competition grade, heavily converted stuff. Should be interesting.http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/5suns/5suns_squad6.jpgAnd as usual, weapon on the sergeant is converted:http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/5suns/5suns_s6_sgt.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Possibly one of my favourite projects I've seen here on B+C (and there are a lot of brilliant ones over the years), the colours are just perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0nolith Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Beautiful paint scheme of a beautifully painted chapter. Is there a specific Native American tribe/culture you took your inspiration for these guys from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Not really. The brief is mesoamerican, but avoid excessive eagle / jaguar (ie Aztec / Incan) references. So the various glyphs reference stuff like that but I avoided overly feathered headdresses etc. There's still a few things in there to give it a sort of tribal feel, but most of the theme is imparted by the tan / red / teal colour combination and the interlocking dags pattern.

Its the fact that it isnt too excessive while at the same time there is just enough for it to be recognized as mesoamerican which I have to give you props for. I tried to do that with my Minotaurs, giving them that ancient Hellenic look without being too overt about it. Creating balance in things like that is key with chapters that are based off of real world cultures, and you pulled it off . Well done mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vagabird Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Absolutely incredible! The shading and highlights are so subtle,and the color scheme is really engaging without being garish. 1. Where did you get those Librarian bits? 2. Did you really freehand all of those details? 3. Are those magnificent glowing eyes really only a three-color job? Do you have a guide link? I think I know the technique but I want to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
