Obliterator Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I realy like the model, but I wanted something different then the traditional reds/browns color scheme. I tried green and bone, but I wasn't entirely satisfied at first. It missed something. Then it hit me: I was going to make this guy Irish/celtic. I browsed the web for some celtic knotwork, and this is the result: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Obliterator/WIP/BelatuCadrosfront.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Obliterator/WIP/BelatuCadrosback.jpg I even found a little celtic knotwork raven to tie him in with my Sisters :wacko: . Mind you, the bone from the inside of his coat is WIP, shading and highlights still need to be applied. So, tell me what you think. Ideas? Crits? Suggestions?

Shinobi_soldier Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 WOW!!! i love the model, and i also love what youve done with it. another nice one is the Conflict Toronto Sept. 06' open category "medalist" (cant remember the place) i'll see if i can find a link. other than those all of the ones ive seen have been classic paint schemes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90052-inquisitor-belatu-cadros-wip/#findComment-1035885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangelus Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Nice model!!! Actually, it reminds me of a really good story I read once in a book of Irish folk- & faery tales about a witch-hunter named Morand the Witchfinder.

Legacy40k Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 its good, but I'm pretty sure you made a mistake with his cloak. I don't have my model handy but as I recall.. the back of his cloak has a slit cut up the middle of it allowing the 2 halves to flow independantly. in the bottom picture.. the part of the cloak to the right which curves around the model.. the interior is the part that is exposed, the exterior is actually wrapped around to the inside and is barely visible. So you painted half the outside like the outside, and half the inside like the inside.. (if that makes any sense, if not, I'll draw a picture) -Legacy40k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90052-inquisitor-belatu-cadros-wip/#findComment-1035977 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice that the cloak had two different 'flaps', but I imagined that it folded so only the outside would show, a bit like when you fold a piece of paper lengthwise.

Its a pretty common mistake with that model (commander Y did it as well), you expect it to be the outside colours because it is on the back.. but its inside out.. -Legacy40k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90052-inquisitor-belatu-cadros-wip/#findComment-1036022 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Nothing to say other than fantastic work there Oblit, well done :) The freehand is VERY impressive!

PurpleHarold Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 ohh man, Oblit! Props! That Green and White came out beutifully. How, pray tell, did you get that nice muted green? This has made me rethink the red/brown hue for mine own =][=.

Master_Aerethos Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Nice job, Oblit :blink: !!! The knotwork just makes the model complete. Even if it is a WIP :huh: Any idea of the other colors you'll be using on him? I think a bit of red and purple could liven up the model a bit. But obviuosly not too much.

Obliterator Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 How, pray tell, did you get that nice muted green? Depends what green you're after: The dark green of the coat: Start Chaos Black, and add more and more Dark Angels Green for highlighting. Final highlights also have Goblin Green mixed in. The green of the tunic: basecoat Dark Angels Green, and add Goblin Green for highlights. Highlight up to pure Goblin Green, and add a bit of Bleached Bone for the brightest highlights. Any idea of the other colors you'll be using on him? I think a bit of red and purple could liven up the model a bit. But obviuosly not too much. I haven't decided on the rest of the colors, but the palette will mainly stay greens, bone, black and reddish browns. The hat and boots will remain black, the hair will be grey, the inferno pistol will get a nice reddish wood finish, and there will be some more metal to pick out details (like the belt buckle). Maybe I'll add in a dab of red and orange here or there (purity seal and power cables come to mind), but I'll try to steer clear of purple. I'm keeping that color for my assassins!

Obliterator Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Just finished the base :) . I wanted a base to blend in with the rest of my Witchhunters army (woodland), but I also wanted to have it look like he was entering some long lost sanctum, so I decided to model some worn and overgrown steps, like a way down to an ancient temple where a heretic ritual is in its final steps... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Obliterator/Inquisition/DSC01899.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Obliterator/Inquisition/DSC01898.jpg The stairs are made from plasticard, with the stones scored in with an X-acto knife. The sides were filled with ready-mix filler, and then everything was painted. The plants are brass. And here's a bright pic of the good chap positioned on the base: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Obliterator/WIP/DSC01897.jpg As you can see, progress on the Inquisitor himself is rather slow :lol: ...

Master_Aerethos Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Noice!! I'm quite glad you mixed up the color pallete a bit, as it makes the mini FAR more interesting.

Obliterator Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 How did you do the little pieces of brush at the sides?? I ordered some brass plants from Hasslefree, slapped some paint on 'em and glued them to the base :P . How hard was it to score the plasticard with the 'cracks' ? Pretty easy actually, as you only need to score them. I made two inscissions for each v-shaped groove. They don't need to be too deep, as the paintjob picks them out real fast. Oh, and I'm definately digging the purple assassins! [oliver_twist]Please sir, I'd like some more.[/oliver_twist] In due time, guv'na, in due time...

The Angelus Sanctus Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Sounds fairly easy enough.
