Olis Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I wasn't entirely sure how to approach naming this thread, so apologies for the title. Anyway, this particular example has such a gorgeous blue and NMM work that I had to show it to you. Painted by Flameon Miniatures, this fella isn't even finished yet and I'm drooling all over him. Take a gander for yourselves, the paintwork is fabulous. The pictures are huge, btw, so I'm linking to them rather than posting them here directly.

Adra'Melek Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Isn't that computer graphics or something? The face is insane. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313184-painting-showcase-guilliman/#findComment-4162065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 well, the painting is awesome - but i'm not a fan of the blue, i like the Ultramarines with a darker blue :/ but the face is pretty ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313184-painting-showcase-guilliman/#findComment-4162072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think that blue is just so... what's the word... luminous. I really like it. I can't imagine that's he's managed that without an airbrush.

I can't imagine that's he's managed that without an airbrush. it's done with an airbrush^^ (or atleast the first layers, you can see that he sprayed it, the later steps are brushwork with i guess glazes - or wet-blending^^) again, the blue is technically fine - i'm just not a fan of the tone Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313184-painting-showcase-guilliman/#findComment-4162089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom_ Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I've never been much of a fan of the super luminous armour on any paint scheme. It's technically very good, but I really don't like it too much. It almost looks too fake, I don't really know how to describe it. The face is superb though.

Ishagu Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That is spectacular :-D As the Primarch, it fits that he not only stands out but appears to illuminate and shine! Can't wait to see it completed! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313184-painting-showcase-guilliman/#findComment-4162236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 With the exception of this other WIP shot, there's precious little else to go on. Credit to Maciek Banasik, btw, now that I've found out the name of the guy who's behind Flameon Miniatures.

Ishagu Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 He's done such a clean and flashy job with the Primarch, I'm keen to see how the marble effect on the base is handled...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I agree that the paint work is incredible, but I also feel the blue color is too light and 40k-ish.

Ishagu Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I don't know, it looks very similar to the colour on some of the hh books that depict Guilliman. http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120413142117/warhammer40k/images/6/60/Know_No_Fear_huge.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313184-painting-showcase-guilliman/#findComment-4162511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I don't know, it looks very similar to the colour on some of the hh books that depict Guilliman. hm, maybe i'm too tired but that blue here looks far darker ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313184-painting-showcase-guilliman/#findComment-4162520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Lol I linked the same pic above, except the colours look brighter http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120413142117/warhammer40k/images/6/60/Know_No_Fear_huge.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313184-painting-showcase-guilliman/#findComment-4162521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amayasu Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The painting is unbelievably good, but also going to add to the "too blue! too blue!". That said, it's a personal taste. I like my 30K beaten and dirty. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313184-painting-showcase-guilliman/#findComment-4162523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pounder Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Now that is something to strive for! Everything about it oozes class. The face especially, how the hell did he do the eyes!

Uh, I wish I had commissioned such a grand paint job but alas, no, all I'm doing is bringing a glorious piece of art to the attention of the good members of B&C. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313184-painting-showcase-guilliman/#findComment-4167602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
