gainsay Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Second mini I've painted in years! I know the conversion is not the most exciting conversion in the world but I did not want the current fig. I did not want him to be glowing gold also so hes a bit more bronze. No space marine should wear angel wings... ever... ;) Pics from the iphone! :?

Olis Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Very nice - real solid work that would look lovely on the tabletop. The lighting is a wee bit iffy but that's to be expected with a camera phone. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307051-dante/#findComment-4028841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousand Eyes Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Solid work there man. The gold looks nice and understated, not polished by cloths but burnished in the cauldron of battle.

Servant of Dante Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 just have to say I love the sanguinary guard wings. I can't be the only one. 10 sang guard with their wings, dante, a priest, maybe a chaplain. There's your army. That's one of my favorites. Edit: yes I know that's a bad list, but boy is it fun to see papa smurf and his honor guard get ground to pieces.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It is indeed a wonderfully built and painted miniature, but to me it doesn't look like Dante. To me it looks like a Sanguinary Guard.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The vambrace-mounted meltagun is a good touch, but why the is a chalice hanging from his left ankle? Wouldn't it get in the way whenever he walks? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307051-dante/#findComment-4047005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're living in the past man The Dante model sucks and the sang guard were inspired from his image in the first place! I will give you a more Dante like death mask would have been cool. Oh and it's his lucky chalice charm duh! It will pen snap off during battle lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307051-dante/#findComment-4048448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I agree that current Dante sucks (though he looks good painted blue) and like I said, it is a beautiful mini and it far outsrips my talent level, but it just does not say Dante to me. It isn't grandiose enough for a thousand year old artist. Too 'stock'. If you like it, ultimately that is all that matters.

Might give it another go with a donate i picked up for 6$ on ebay and chop em up.
