Marshal Reinhard Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Not much to look at, at the moment, but here's a first WIP shot of my Imperial knight. Fella's gonna be an allied detachment to my Black Templar currently waiting for him to dry before i carry on. Oh and next to him is one of my Contemptor dreadnoughts. ´ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro Castiel Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Very nice. I can see the traitor guard's jaws dropping as he smashes his way past their defence perimeter, wishing they were still loyalists. A very imposing model. Cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Here's another WIP. Come a fair bit along the way since that very simple first shot, but still a rather long way to go: Having painted mostly black power armour I can feel a lack of experience with both brighter colours and big surfaces like on this model. Also doesn't help I'm using what colours I have on hand, which are slightly different than those of the official House Terryn scheme, so giving him a different tone. I did like how the eyes behind the mask turned out... but at the same time I feel like I'm not doing my paint job so far any favours by taking this close of closeup Lots left to do on virtually everything, so hoping i'll be able to do the miniature justice by the end.

Marshal Reinhard Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Another WIP: Since I've started adding transfers one might think that I am nearing completion, but that would be assuming I work under logic. No, still lots left do here, not least of all a fitting base, but also other work you'd normally do before putting on transfers. I feel a bit more confident about the tone of the colors now, though that's probably hard to make out since I seem to keep on insisting taking my WIP shots under the most apalling of lighting conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Librarian Haegl Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I don't think you should worry about the painting... some shading and highlighting on the gold, maybe some overall touch-ups and you're there. Also, I like the red eyes, they're a nice contrast, which makes them pop a bit more from-under the faceplate. Finally, though... IMHO the placing of the decal on the heraldry shield seems kind of wrong, as it leaves a large, free surface over it. I would advise to add something linear across the shield at the cut-in, nothing fancy, some scripture or perhaps a strip of check-board pattern (from the ork decal sheet, for instance). Good luck with finishing this baby up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Thanks for the advice! I do infact intend to put something on the upper space of the shield, namely a row of purity seals (Like I said I do things in a bizarre order, right?) Also, the 'half-hole' on the side of the shield also makes it next to impossible to placing it higher up, so placements's pretty much the same as the knight on the box.. which also covers the empty space above with purity seals. Never used this gold this extensively (Gw's burnished gold) so still mostly just working on getting it even everywhere... once that's actually finished I figure I'll shade it with either agrax earthshade or nuln oil? How should highlight it, given that's so bright already? Mix it with mithril silver? EDIT: Also, I'm now all over hunting for ork decals since I learned they have checkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Starting to look fairly accomplished now Mostly feel like I've got some highlights, some additional work on the base as well as some detail work here and there, but then that'll be it. Feel pretty happy with how he's turned out. Absolute blast of a kit to work with and can't wait to start another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eberious Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Looking awesome Rienhard, and have to agree its a hell of a good kit. Kinda makes me regret in only a small way that I exchanged my extra one for bikes and refund for the remaining. Want bikes anyways so its not so bad.
