Majkhel Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Beautiful!!I really like the leather effect you made on his left shoulder guard. Also the application of bright colours throughout the model came out great. I like the red spanner :) m0nolith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0nolith Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Here is an actual update for once instead of just a finished model. I'm working on 3 projects right now, two commissions and one personal. I'm working on six BA Interceptors for a client as well as the new Primaris Mephiston model which I absolutely love! On top of all of that, I'm working on my own personal Van Saar gang. Here's a photo of one of the models. One thing is for sure, I need a better camera :D Edited January 3, 2020 by m0nolith Kolgrim DeathHowl, The Ergonomic Enginseer, Quixus and 10 others 13 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Khârn is excellent, I like the weathering - the streaks especially of grime running from armour joints and studs. How did you paint it? m0nolith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0nolith Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Gorgeous, dude. Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks dude :D  Wow that looks wonderful!!  Thank you!  Amazing paint job ... he must have just come out the drop pod, as he is not is not caked in blood lol I didn't want to cake him in blood because I feel too much blood distracts the eyes from where I want them to go, namely in this case I wanted that to be the face, battle damage, the streaks and grime.  Khârn is excellent, I like the weathering - the streaks especially of grime running from armour joints and studs. How did you paint it? Hit it with gloss varnish first and then use some burnt umber oil paint with odorless white spirit to create the streak, and after it dries seal with with some type of matt varnish.  That's one lovely representation of the Eighth Captain! Blood for the Blood God! *looks left and right for a commissar* *whispers* ...skulls for the skull throne...

Majkhel Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Absolute masterclass!  The armour is simply P E R F E C T!What are your thoughts on the wiping hand's positioning? Your's look just right, but I've heard many people complain about how it can be nightmare to position correctly. m0nolith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mapple Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 The blending on the robes is great. The vials have detail not lost on the further away picture which is stunning. The face and hair are excellent. Great job. m0nolith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you kindly  Absolute masterclass!  The armour is simply P E R F E C T!  What are your thoughts on the wiping hand's positioning? Your's look just right, but I've heard many people complain about how it can be nightmare to position correctly. Thanks! Yeah the hand was a pain initially because you have to hook it around the chest cable and that can be a bit confusing, but once I figured it out it wasn't too hard to get it into place.  The blending on the robes is great. The vials have detail not lost on the further away picture which is stunning. The face and hair are excellent. Great job.

Quixus Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 A bit off-topic, but what is Mephiston supoosed to be doing? Yawning? Coughing? I really don't get that pose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) It's the pose taken from some earlier art work (in the 3rd ed blood angels codex, I think)... but yeah, its not quite clear what the model is doing, in the art he looks like he's brooding.  The art can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/mg.artworks.markgibbons/photos/a.1023372761054288/1123925870998976/?type=1&theater (note, I have nothing to do with that facebook page, it just came up in my google search).  The model also comes with an arm to make him pointing a plasma pistol. Edited February 26, 2020 by Dr_Ruminahui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Considering the vampiric theme of the BA, Mephiston on that picture is most probably wiping blood from his mouth. Description of the miniature confirms this: "Mephiston can be assembled aiming his pistol with his right hand, or wiping his mouth on the back of his gauntlet – could he even be wiping the blood from his fangs?"The thing with the model though is that the hand is really poorly cast and if you position it as Monolith did, it is not connecting with the shoulder (at least that was the case with mine miniature). On the other hand if you try connecting the arm with the shoulder, the hand will end up too high, creating the impression of either sneezing or that something got caught up in his eye.

m0nolith Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Just a quick update. I'm working on two squads of Primaris BA Inceptors, 3 with bolters and 3 with plasma for a commission, and below is my first test model. On top of that, work for my personal Van Saar gang is continuing. So far I have finished 7 of them and still have 3 more to go, not to mention all the extra weapons. This guy specefically has his right arm magnetized, so i can replace that plasma with whatever. Below is a preview of one of them. I plan on finishing up all of them, and then taking decent photos and putting him up here one by one while I finish their bases. I'm probably going to give them some sort of rusty base since that color works fantastically well with this type of green. batu, Dr_Ruminahui, Kenzaburo and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 It really does blow my mind how clean and crisp your paint jobs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Crisp as always! The Imperialis is a work of art. Also really like the yellow on the Inceptor's helmet. What is the base yellow colour you're using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
