rat of vengence Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Greetings all. I am so glad this forum is back, I can share my marines again! Here is my latest effort. It still needs iconography on the shoulder pads, but is otherwise ready to go. He is a scout I promoted after blowing up a Leman Russ with his bolt pistol. One of those memorable moments... :D . http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/ratofvengence/vetscout2.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/ratofvengence/vetscout1.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/ratofvengence/vetsarge2.jpg The first two pics weren't taken very well, the light source was too far away, so the face looks very bleak. Also, the sword looks better than it does in the pics :blush: . Tell me what you think please!

Horus Reborn Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Agreed. Thats a tasty green. Still not sure I like the strong-man chinned plastic scouts though. At all.

helpermonkey Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Very Nice overall. The one critic I have on the model is that the sword blends in tooo much with the model. It would have possibly been better in a different colour. Still looks nice tho Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84413-veteran-scout-sergeant/#findComment-976311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorClozer Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Definetly should have used a different color for the sword. Something perhaps like shades of blue to offset the sword from the rest of the miniature. All else is good.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Im not sure if its because im really tired OR its actually been done, but the over exaggerated jaw line on the scout head actually doesnt look as bad. So assuming its been how its paint, WELL DONE!!! Just doesnt seem as bad as other pics show it to be. Good work :wub: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84413-veteran-scout-sergeant/#findComment-976367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasoroth Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I'll put it this way, you made the chin on the model look acceptable.

Oliver Twist Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 At first, I was like thats alot of green, but after I looked at it some more, it grew on me. Really nice figure, and I love the face, scope and aquila on the chest.

tahrikmili Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I don't like using green for marine scouts. Remember: "Camouflage is the color of fear." Just my 2c :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84413-veteran-scout-sergeant/#findComment-976526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbrad Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Very nice, the jawline doesn't look too sqaure either like GW's effort. :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84413-veteran-scout-sergeant/#findComment-976707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat of vengence Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks for the feedback guys. I was quite happy with how the face turned out. It took a fair bit of bold shading to stop it from looking like he could take out a Monolith by biting it. I hope I can do it again for the rest of the squad B) My next project is similar, but with a powerfist. Question, do you think the pants should have some disruptive camoflague or just be left green. the green worked really well, but if it would im,prove the look... Oh, I did the sword in green to be consistent with the rest of my army, and I didn't want too different a colour as it would draw away from the rest of the model. At least so I think :) thanks, RoV Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84413-veteran-scout-sergeant/#findComment-977123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
