Very Impressive stuff. Loving the Mephiston, was more character than the standard figure. Looking forward to seeing some paint on him

Stuning work, consider me inspierd!

Brilliant work I absolutely love your memphiston

Your conversion work is top notch. GW should be taking notes on how a Dreadnought Librarian should look. You really capture the feel of this particular unit and still keeping in line with the Codex Astartes. Your attention to detail really makes this kind of model stand out. Can't wait to see more from you.

That some really nice conversion work and great painting.

Hey all,

Photos of the first painting stages below, got the cloak and backpack part done except for the fur collar (which will be done later as there is a section on the body too) Freehanded the small skulls on the cloak trim, very happy with this as it's the first time I've tried something that small.

Had a slight problem with the face in that it looked awful when sprayed, and not at all smooth, so out with the dremel and removed it!! Not to worry already got the replacement going, and this time will undercoat it by hand!

Off for a few days for work so won't get back to it until Friday, will keep you updated as it progresses

Very jealous right now!

Lovely work.

Hey all,

Not the best photo but a snapshot update of Mephiston. Got the head resculpted and done v. quickly, and detailed up the body. Added some freehand linework on the cloak which isn't very clear on the photo but proper pics on completion.

Pretty happy with it all, especially the face and armour.

Enjoy the rest of Christmas!

Alex all your models look great! I just seen your post for the first time and just subscribed to your thread! Your work is just amazing!

this....is....incredible your conversions look great i want mephiston done now so i can see him in all his glory

Awesome conversions, librarian dread is awesome, can't wait to see the next dread

Stunning paint job!

Tues night update - plasma pistol arm done and other side about half. Cables for the collar done, needing painting and putting in. No photos but should be done tomorrow night. Eyes giving in now otherwise would be done!!
Until tomorrow!

That is absolutely beautiful. Great conversion man!!!

Whoa! I'm really glad i found your thread, as everything is pretty much amazing! You are truly one of the top-notch hobbyists on dakka! Keep it up, i'll surely be watching!

Great conversions and paintjobs. Loving the stormraven and dread. And looking forward to the fully painted Mephiston.

Well it's not quite100% done, still playing with the cables going into his head, the problem is getting them so small it can fit 3 in.

Photos of the final job so far. The only thing I'm still pondering is the lighting effect on the sword as I was planning on making it turn red from the bottom as if the Sword of Sanguinius is starting, but I like the contrast of the blues on the plasma and sword to the red.

Enjoy!! Not sure what's up next, maybe the DC Dread or some scouts I was fiddling with the other day, snipers in ruins etc on small bases. We'll see ....

He is pure awesome. My friend you are a god!

Wow that is an amazing model congratulations.

Beautiful!

Wow, this stuff is great. Can I just ask (I know its a bit late) but how you did the chips on you libby dread? Also, the skin-tone on the libby dread face is absolutely stunning. Really looks like he's barely alive! You are a master and should be doing commissions.....

Only two things from me. I think the tear on the statue could be done in a gem scheme, because it would look really cool
Also, its a little late now, but purple gems (like the ones on the backpack) could replace the red gems hanging from his tabbard
Amazing work

Great Mephiston.......Just starting a Blood Angels army myself and love your reds........

Keep the pics coming.......

Excellent work! The force sword looks great and I love the deep red of his armour.

That's really incredible - the texture on the armor and the powersword look really good.

Thanks, really tried to get the dead look on the face, as if without the cables he wouldn't be about much longer! The chips are painted using the initial base colour, in this case Mordian Blue, then highlight the bottom edge sharply with Skull White and a tiny bit of UM Blue mixed in. Then I shaded just above the highlight to give it depth, watered down black does the trick.

This was the original plan, still not too happy with the big gem on the statue as it's a bit yellow on the bottom highlight. Testing out a trick of cracking the main stone on test bits so might use that. The statue has fallen over after all. Same goes for the currently red stones, I had though about purple for contrast too. Might change this!

Thanks for all the comments, especially suggestions and I'm glad the sword blade has gone down well!!

Everything you have produced thus far has been absolutely stunning. But i will say I dunno about Mephys white hair. To me it seem like its just fading into the model with all the other white on him. I think it would look better with dark hair but thats just a personal opinion. Still everything looks amazing

I'm not sure I like the red cape on Mephiston. Should be a contrasting color like black or cream/white, in my opinion. Still though, the skill in it is amazing and your conversion skills are top-notch.

I wanted to do the kind of effect you got on the flame inside your jump packs for my shield generators on my titan. How did you do that? PM me please.

I know I am a little late on the comments but that has to be the coolest Stormraven I have seen, GW needs to base theirs off of yours. All of the other figs look great too, your flesh tones are amazing.
