Tzen Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 With the awesome Death Watch stuff being released next weekend I thought I'd share my old Artemis model with you all. Now, I know I know, It's painted as a (very bright) ultramarine. But you will have to forgive my childish enthusiasm from back when this miniature was released, and look past the unfinished model and the blu-tac holding it together. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/artemis1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/artemis2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/artemis3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/artemis4.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Artemiscomp.jpg My plan was to paint a young Marneus Calgar during his Death Watch years (I have no idea if that ever happened). Sadly I haven't touched this model for about 10 years, and that was to show someone. I painted this 15 to 16 years ago? Maybe I will paint it "properly" some time soon!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Man, I forgot how weedy his legs are. Even 15 years ago, that's probably better than I can paint now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm moving this to the WIP forum since it is currently unfinished (and apparently due for new paint soon). I look forward to seeing the completed work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Tzen + a 54mm Artemis? Yes please! I would dearly love to see you smash this one out of the park, brother. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Looking excellent, even in his unfinished stage! What are you waiting for, though? Go ahead and finish him! It would be a shame to leave an OOP model like that sitting in a box two thirds completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 This really was just a fun look back at the model. He needs a complete overhaul! I have a BAJILLION other projects I should really be focusing on before this guy... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 As an aside. If I was to repaint this, should I stick to the Ultramarines scheme, or go Deathwatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I think, given the current developments from GW, a DW colour scheme sounds like just the ticket. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Matt Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 He looks excellent. That blue armour is great. I have one of these around somewhere too, Mine's painted gold and not nearly so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'd go full deathwatch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a BAJILLION other projects I should really be focusing on before this guy... :/ Well boo*fethin*hoo ;) Stop whining and get back to painting, soldier! ;) Personally speaking, I'd keep him in Ultrasmurf colours -- it adds a nice ironic counterpoint to your Word Bearers, plus it means you'll eventually have to convert and paint a 54mm Word Bearer as well, just to complete the set ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Haha, I don't think I'd ever do that! :D Although I guess my daemon prince is already kinda a Word Bearer equivalent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Haha, I don't think I'd ever do that! Chicken! ;) But yes, good point, actually: The Juan Diaz Daemon Prince might even work at the INQ28 scale and make for a convincing opponent for "Ultra-Artemis" in a glamour shot. Just sayin'...

sockwithaticket Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'd echo Jeremy, full Deathwatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
