Fire Golem Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 So while waiting for my FW stuff to come I thought I'd start a bit of a log for my Ultramarines and Word Bearers forces (seems fitting to do them both together). My Ultramarines will probably actually be set on Calth, I'm not so sure about my WB yet, they might be less specific. I will try and work on some fluff for them too. Using some of my bits and a former SoH, I mocked up a Chaplain for my WB. It's only blu tac holding it together atm (need to buy more superglue): http://i.imgur.com/sFyDnxV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pONaDJu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rtVxKOR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6SZiQC3.jpg I don't know if something looks vaguely off? I'm not sure if it's just that most of the armour is very plain next to the plastic chaos stuff, but I don't know what to do about that, don't feel overly confident sculpting anything on the armour... Also, is it a bit too chaosy? Any feedback appreciated :) Anyway, just bored waiting for my stuff so I thought I'd start something. Cheers for reading.

Reyner Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think that works well as a Calth era Chaplain or maybe even a Diabolist but you are right about something being off - the bottom half of the mini looks very bare compared to the top. Maybe you could add some purity seals on him somewhere or try carve up some Chaos minis and attach something to the shin area?

Olis Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 You're right, some of him does look a touch 'plain-Jane'. A couple of extra things that'll make him look more like a WB might help, like a book or flamework or something.

Fire Golem Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 The chosen I've been carving up probably have suitable shins I might be able to hollow out, I must have a book somewhere I can chain to him too.

Fire Golem Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I found some bits for the lower half, and personally I quite like how it looks: http://i.imgur.com/OmgDxhb.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lQIiuIK.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jUlub0Q.jpg The pictures aren't great, sorry. The loincloth is from a Dark Eldar, as is the knife; I thought it worked okay as like a ritual knife (probably a bit nice to be an athame though), and I thought the cylinder things next to the knife could work as those warp flask things? The book is from the fine cast Chaos Sorceror. The actual legs are still quite plain, but I think the accessors help 'bling it up' a little?

Olis Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Definitely looking better with the gubbins. You could always paint runes and symbols on the legs, I suppose.

Fire Golem Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Slightly more confident painting than sculpting.

AlphariusOmegon108 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 He looks like he is about to give someone a bro hug, try to make the plasma pistol arm a bit more "relaxed" that will make his pose more natural and a little less... bro-huggy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307899-calth-ultramarinesword-bearers-log/#findComment-4052254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Haha yeah I see it now. Maybe just rotate the pistol to be more vertical. It would help the "bro-hug" effect. Otherwise the lower half bits look really good! I'd say ready for painting!

So, just a little twist of his head more to the right... Sorry to be a pita.

Fire Golem Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Haha, thanks guys. I swapped out the arm, I couldn't find a pose for the pistol that looked very natural (and unbrohuggy) with the straight one: http://i.imgur.com/TnpdEsD.jpg I'll look at turning the head a little too. The model was mostly built before, and was just holding a bolter, which is why it doesn't quite line up, and why the last arm was straight.

AlphariusOmegon108 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 That looks so much better! Lovely model!

Fire Golem Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I couldn't get the head off without damaging something so I brought the mace in a little: http://i.imgur.com/7MN9QgI.jpg It's better I think? This is probably the most photographed mediocre model ever now! :p Thanks AO108 :) hopefully won't be long! Probably need to buy the right paints first haha. Oh there's a couple of bits that need smoothing over too, I'll have to do that this weekend, I don't have my greenstuff on me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307899-calth-ultramarinesword-bearers-log/#findComment-4052296 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arac Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I like him very much! But if you have an airbrush you should maybe hold on with the painting and wait for the FW Airbrush Paints. They are supposed to be awesome. I know I would use 'em if I hadn't used the VMA paints for my scheme already.

Fire Golem Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't have one, but I do want one at some point. Even just for getting basecoats down quicker, might be a bit more motivated to paint then. And the Word Bearers red and Gal Vorbak red look pretty spot on from the photo so they'll definitely make life easier!
