Nice looking mini and good luck with the exam

Hello peeps!

As per usual I have been somewhat invisible of late, lurking somewhere in the depths of dakka... It's that time of year again- exams, birthday, sorting out accommodation for next year etc etc... and I'm graduating this month too! But I will be around more from now on I promise!


Fulgrim is coming (slowly) along, and is soon to be joined by another Fulgrim- the official Horus Heresy one! Ok, I probably don't need two but a girl can never have too many primarchs I say!

Picture is up mainly just to show you the sculpture that Fulgi is so lovingly resting his saintly foot upon. Hope you like it I'm really chuffed with how it's come out

I've also done a bit more on the gold trims but ignore that for now! xxx

Looking very nice bubble, I really like how you can see the inside of the stone if you know what I mean

Good to have you back as well

Now THAT is gonna look sweet! great job Bubble, love the stone work!

Thank you muchly Gents! Glad you like it!

And Nerd, I'm stealing the robed marines you sent J-Paint so I can make Thousand Sons with them- look out for that xxx

yes I heard you told a certain painter to "Gerroff they're mine!...." :-) at least they have a good home!

Havent been in here in a month or so, but i like the continued WIP of fulgrim Im sure vik is now agreeing with me about the green and purple

Thanks Bebop


He's FINISHED! HOOORAYYY! And he's real purdy, too.

Hope you like it, I quite like the base myself. Think I could add some moss effect to it or something similar? Was going a ruined, foresty type place... Photos don't really show it but one of the bits of rubbish on the ground (between his legs almost) is a dragon head from some chaos space marine vehicle which I stole from J-Paint... painted it to look like another (fallen) statue, to go with the one he's resting on.

Comments appreciated xxxx

Looks great Bubble! but right now you don't really get the feel that it's in a forrest.. some moss and a bush maybe? but it does look fantastic the way it is right now! great work

Aww thanks DiDDe, glad you like it!

Ok maybe not so much a forest but... kinda like when Frodo wanders off in the Fellowship of the Ring before Boromir looses it and then the Uruk-hai find them- and there's toppled statues etc and a clearing where Aragorn stands on some steps and fights them? Ok that's in a forest but...

This kind of thing! (Why didn't I just link the photo in the first place rather than ramble )





It just made me think of that but that may just be me...

But I agree that moss will probably help a lot! I was planning to do it so I will xxx

well, where's the fun in that?

anyway, some foliage of some sort would do it imo. you could make some roots to maybe?


and btw wth are they doing to the lower left on the bottom pic?! doesn't look like they care about the fight at all.

Thats just some good old Ork loving

Bubble I have to say I don't think this is your best work I don't want to be an arse but the purple armour looks a little flat to me.

I think you could really bring out the mini by adding some more shading on the armour, the gold embellishments looks great and the face looks well done.

I just think the purple looks a bit mat and flat I am afraid, I think the base is nicely done as well although a little moss might bring the theme more to light.

Sorry but I have to be honest and after those dwarfs I know you have the skill to do more.

LOL


And awwww! LDD you cut me deep!!! haha, thanks for the comment anyway- I did do the shading in the same way I do my Ultras, but it just didn't come out the same way I agree :( xxx

Looking good Bubble!

I guess you could say he...
...really gave him his sword.
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH!










...It's because the Uruk got stabbed... yeah... totally...

oh... that is indeed a giant leap from the last update bubble... very good looking... i chime in with the rest and say a bit of plant life would look good...and... i think the purple still needs a bit of a wash...

thats one cool Fulgrim, I was never a fan of him to be honest.. but I think you may change my mind I especialy love the coloring of the gold you did.. how did you go about doing it?

Yes you do that LDD


Glad you like him more now Vik The sculpt of the model doesn't seem to be as open to shading as the GW ones are... it's a bit flat on the armor itself :S


And RW, I did the gold the same way I always do- yellow base (think it was Averland Sunset this time), then Shining Gold and heaps of black wash xxx

Love it

Can I stop now it's starting to really hurt

Oh yes bubble he's looking fantastic, cant wait to see you paint up the other version so we can do a compare.

Thanks Miss Dee and Giraffe!

No, never!

I am happy to say, Forge World Fulgrim has arrived! When I figure out how to put his base together we'll be away! xxx

Hello citizens of the Imperium!

I present to you my next three projects!

I. Forge World Fulgrim! He's beautiful and I'm, terrified of painting him badly- I don't want to be the one to despoil his perfection!


II. Thousand Sons Sorcerer! He's going to be a lovely shade of blue



III. And this is the one I'm most excited about... Pasanius! For those of you who don't know he's a character from Graham McNeill's Ultramarines novels. He lost his arm in one of the stories so I asked J-Paint to make me a model of him with his arm gone, and also a bit larger than a normal marine model as Pasanius is supposed to wear modified terminator armour because he's such a beast. And he had to have a heavy flamer as that's his signature (Some of you might have seen him on J-Paint's blog, minus a head.) His head is from the new Sternguard box



I've also ordered some bits from the Commander sprue so I can make a Uriel Ventris model (also from the Ultramarines series) xxx

LOVING Pasanius!! Looks awesome! he is a true beast! And that model really captures his descriptons in the Ventris series of books!

Cant wait to see him with a paint job.

Love the Pasanius model, I made one myself from his stint in the Deathwatch using the FW bionic parts, but I do like the modified armour look to yours. I'm not too keen on the Heavy Flamer though, it just looks too big to be wielded with one hand, even for a Marine like Pasanius.

Oh bubble, lots of lovely minis you have there. Looking forward to seeing them painted

Hello dear followers! I have been away from lovely dakka for the LONGEST TIME D:

I'm nearly done with my Masters course now (well, apart from the 15,000 word dissertation...) so I have a bit more free time to spend painting (Ok, not as much time as I'd have if I wasn't spending most of my Easter break on WoW, but I have time none the less )

I don't have much in the way to post atm, but I thought I'd give you a group shot of EVERYTHING I am working on/plan to start very soon. And when I say most of the models in this photo are WIP, they really are WIP so don't get too excited.



Ok so from left to right... Work has begun on Fulgrim's head, soon to be followed by his body and base. I'm still terrified of ruining him so he may actually be pushed back a little until I get a little less rusty.

Probably the one I'm most excited about atm, my scratch built Uriel Ventris!!! He's going to be beautiful. I can't find a head for him I like so I'm thinking he's going to have to be helmeted as he is here...

Next up, basic colour is going down on my Pasanius! Incidentally, I learnt at the Black Library Live! event that I've been pronouncing his name wrong all along... either that or Graham McNeill doesn't know his own characters, clearly it's Graham in the wrong

Then we have a random vet who was originally going to be an Ultramarine but somehow ended up with Fulgrim...

Another vet who is undecided as to where his loyalties lie at this moment,

A vet who WAS going to be an Imperial Fist (note the badly removed yellow paint, thank you Fairy Power Spray) but I just cannot paint yellow. So he'll be an Ultra or Emperor's Child.

And if all that wasn't enough, my sorcerer!

The line up isn't binding, I'll probs be doing a bit here and there on all of them and never get any of them finished

Oh and this guy...



My fondly named 'Disco Marine'. May or may not come to fruition

I am also seriously considering getting the Forge World Phoenix Terminators IF I can finish at least one damn model first.

That was a lot of info and not a lot of exciting pictures so sorry about that but hopefully you're all still here lurking and will be willing to give me helpful advice


P.s. sorry to the last few posters for not getting back to you before I went AWOL! ...

Thank you very much, I literally went with what I thought he looked like and also used the cover of one of the books... can't for sure remember which one it is, possibly The Killing Ground

That sounds cool! Haha I knew that some people would argue against the flamer and I do understand totally I just really wanted to have him using it
