Dr. Ruminahui's assorted conversions

Love the sigils on the lords cape! And the green eye lenses really pop!

Thanks, @The Pounder, @Brother Christopher and @space wolf!

 

And Brother Christopher, the power fist is my favorite as well - not only do I think it works the best of the 3 for the "elbow pulled back" pose of the original model, but the colours work very nicely as well.  Its actually a fist I had already painted - I stole it from a noise marine champion I had done, who is no longer legal, unfortunately - I just redid the casing dark purple to match this army rather than the genestealer-ish purple it had originally.  That said, he'll probably get fielded pretty much exclusively as with the whip for this edition, as that seems the best option in 10th.

 

Space wolf, thanks for commenting on the eyes - I particulary happy with them on this model, as I managed to get tiny white highlights on them which I don't normally do but I think are very effective on this guy.

Great job @Dr_Ruminahui

So, next painting project is my first squad of Tormentors. 

 

 

So, I've had the idea of doing them in camo cloaks for a while, to represent their infiltrators special rule.  I've also been settled on doing it the same colours as the old-school Tau scheme (the one the first GW Tau army was in).   So, I introduce to you the most fabulous camo pattern in the 41st millenium - Slann Pat:

 

 

I still want to do unit designation, so I put a big slannesh symbol over top in a 3rd. colour. I then gave it a brown wash for some shading - which was a mistake.  I'll have to see about undoing that.

 

 

All in all, I'm pretty happy about it (once I fix the brown wash).  My second squad will be the same idea, but with the red-brown splotches and the symbol colour swapped.

I can’t see what was wrong with it? 
 

Looks good to me!

Thanks, @The Pounder.

 

Its too "muddy" - makes it realistic looking and dirty, but that's kind of at odds with the more stylistic look I had intended.  Its worst on the large tan symbol, where I'm also having some trouble with paint consistency.   I guess the unshaded version looks more like I want it to look like, so I'm wanting to return it to that.

Managed to clean up the "washed" cape without too much difficulty, and washed the others before doing the camo, with going pack to paint the orange-brown of the main cape to essentially just leave the holes and folds shadowed.  Happy with how it turned out.  Incidentally, the one I had to clean up the wash on is the 2nd from the right.

 

Anyway, finished the cape portion (well, except the fur) of my first squad.
