Here is a conversion of Leman Russ that I am working on as a commission. He based upon the Artemis model from the Inquisitor range.

Here is what I have done so far, I will get some better pics when I have got a bit further along with it

The variety of putties makes it look a bit messy in the pics, but hey ho...








Thanks,

Tom

Not a fan of the shoulderpad. The surface appears uneven, the spaces between the lines are different widths, and the lines themselves are not uniform in thickness at all. The hair and cloak are not bad, however. Your runes on the blade are aces. This should look pretty nice when painted.

Ye this shoulder pad was a real pain. It was the one with the deathwatch stuff on it. It will have a couple of chains on it so that should hide some imperfections.

Possibly a wolfy symbol in the middle to break it up a bit, I think when that pad is painted it will look plain against the rest, aspecially as this is a 54mm model.

I was thinking about painting a black and yellow pattern on the rims of the pads like this:

I will have to ask the client first but I think it would look good to break up the grey a bit....

Some updates, Some bits are a little crude and need refining, but I needed to get an overall feel for some areas before b
getting the final detailing in.

I have made a bit more progress I have white tacked on the sword for pictures.







I need to do something with the vents on his backpack and I need to add some plaits coming from his hair, as well as a few other things, but he is getting there

Also the wolf heads on the backback need a bit more definition...

Also I think maybe the wolf claw is too big.... although I am not sure...

It looks amazing so far. I would, however, extend the handle of the sword to give a more balanced overall look.

Looking good mate, can't wait to see the finished sculpt!

I have done a bit more: Added plait into hair, added vents on back pack, added dots on shoulder pad, smoothed a few areas and stuck on sword arm.

I was going to add more purity seals coming from under the cloak, but when I tested this out the over all feel was too cluttered and too much going on.

Thanks
Tom.

A bit of an update on the painting side of things, I'm pretty happy with how he is going so far
