Tzen Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) I need to take some better pictures of this guy, not only on the black background but also on a white background. I'm having a little trouble getting him to stay firmly on his base (my own damn fault for doing a scenic base). But he is done. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Magnusfin1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Magnusfin2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Magnusfin3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Magnusfin4.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/magnusfin5.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/magnusfin6.jpg Edited January 11, 2017 by Tzen betrayer41, Brother Chaplain Ryld, Sagentus and 34 others 37 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darknation Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Absolutely stunning. Fantastic idea for a scenic base, and the execution is spot on. Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hero Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Awesome job on this. If you're worried about him staying on the base, he looks pretty flat footed so you could pin him by using a pin drill and a paperclip. One in each foot would do the trick nicely.

Tzen Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks chaps! And yeah I have already pinned him. But he doesn't seem to want to play ball. He looks flat footed but underneath his feet is just this hotch potch of varying surfaces due to the dreadnought arm and the base. Hopefully I will figure something out!

Chaplain Raeven Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 This is the best version I've seen of Magnus, by far. They should use your version on GW's site, sales would skyrocket. And I love his face. He looks like he's outstreching his hand to recieve change, but the Daemon cashier places in on the counter instead.

Nemac Vradon Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Well, that is amazing. Great job Tzen :) Nemac Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Ta chaps! And being a Thousand Sons fan I would like to think sales of Magnus are super high anyway! :D (I have no idea if they are, but they should be! Thousand Son for life!)

Sagentus Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 This is my favorite rendition of Magnus to date! loving the color scheme and i think blending is very nicely done. The black horns on the helmet were a great touch, i think white would have made it to bright with the already bright armor (which i thinks spot on). The base is something else with the fire ball rising. Great job all round :) Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrautScientist Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 That Magus is looking absolutely incredible -- and arguably superior to the 'Eavy Metal version: I love how your version is actually more red than pink, and you have added some incredibly cool touches (such as the brilliant, crystalline effect on the feathers). I am also really happy that you went with the black eye on Magus' palm! And the ball of warp energy above his glaive works much better in your version as well. In some ways, it's actually a shame that all that armour covers up so much of the gloriously painted skin -- but that's not really a problem with your painting. Oh, and the lava on the base is absolutely delightful -- I might have to try and replicate that effect (in my own, primitive way). Anyway, stellar work! :) Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thanks Kraut! I am glad you like it, and I think the work I have put into him has paid off. I'm happy with everything on him apart from his armour. I like the colour choice I decided with, but I don't think I did the details enough justice. I am not complaining, I just like to find things to improve upon, and I think my metallics need improving. I am much better at NMM than using metal paint. It's just that NMM takes ages! :D Dolchiate Remembrancer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Excellent job, Tzen, really top drawer.If you're looking for things to improve I think the highlights on the big, black horns look a bit wonky in places and the Dreadnought arm could perhaps be a little better integrated into the base, but those are small quibbles. I'd have neither the confidence nor the patience to try and tackle such a huge, detailed model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Thanks Sock! :D I plan on doing a little touch up work over the next few days and taking some better pictures! The dread arm actually has an icicle hanging off it but you can't see from the angle of the pics :( Glad you like though, just glad when anyone likes anything I've painted! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 I was asked for some pictures on a white background so I thought I would share them here too. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/instamagwhite.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/instamagwhite1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/instamagwhite2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/instamagwhite3.jpg m0nolith, Chaplain Raeven, Brother Chaplain Ryld and 10 others 13 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thousand Eyes Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Wonderful work, very glad to see all your effort that went into it coming back to you. Makes me re-think just how done my own Magnus is. Time to up my game. Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks again peeps, genuinely happy people like him! :D I don't know if it will end up in White Dwarf or not, but it would be jolly nice if it did! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 As an aside, here is a Terminator I quickly mocked up for how I want to use the new Thousand Sons paints whilst also staying fairly true to the darker blue colour scheme. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/tsterm1.jpg It's not exactly the finished article, but yeah, just thought i'd share! :D Atia, Sagentus, ShVagYeR and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torvak Kyre Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Is the loin cloth going to stay a yellowish colour or is it going to be brought up to white. As of the moment I'd say go white but knowing you, you'll probably make yellow look just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
