A not so finished cherub, just looking for feedback on the layering on the robes.

Now my entry for golden demon next year, I shall be entering it in young bloods as I doubt my entry would even be accepted in any other category , and this will be my last year of being able to enter youngbloods. He will be a spacewolf, I will follow the 'eavy metal masterclass to try to get him just right. He also has a display base.
Feedback about the model much appreciated BEFORE I prime him, also any tips on what I could do to notch him up a level as far as paint methods are concerned.

Model based on last year's gamesday model.

I cut off the topknot and repositioned it to show direction




I put tank tracks in the polyfilla I used on the base to add a little bit of story, hunt the chaos rhino spacewolf, HUNT!

Also some resin basing stuff in there, including the wolf's dicarded helm.


Used this in the deepest recesses for pooled water, and an ink wash on the rest.

Harumph, three posts, two asking desperately for c&c and NO replies.

looks good but I don't llike the topknot.

OK, any reason?
After thinking about it now, I'm torn between wolves and white scars.
All depends on comments and whether there are any white scars masterclasses.
The topknot comes with the wolf and I used it to convey direction, but if it's just me thinking what I've done is better than it is (I know I'm not innocent of that) then I'll lop it off

I like the topknot personally, it would go better with wolves IMO. The base is looking pretty sweet, once you finish some of the details it will come together more. I lost track of this thread a while ago and am glad to have found it again. Keep up the good work!

I think that the topknot would look better raised a bit more.

eagerly awaiting more,

DC

@stretch: thanks, gonna paint the details once I know if it's gonna be wolves or scars, nice to see you found me again.
@deadly chicken: by raised do you mean at the back of the head, or greenstuffed higher, or something else entirely?

Remember they'll be a lot of Space Wolfs at the Golden Demon doing White Scars might well make it stand out far more!

Greenstuffed higher,

thanks,

DC

@Llamahead: Godd point, hadn't considered that, there certainly are a lot wolves as I look back, and with the new codex...
@deadly chicken: I see, my greenfu is feeble. I just did some gap filling on the model and even that looks awful. :(

Got this for my birthday:


And an Xbox 360, so don't expect speedy updates until the red faction liberates mars

Sorry about being quiet of late, sadly I have been swamped by homework and after a four(ish) break from painting I picked up a brush and failed...completely. I am going to work myself up from basic painting to the standard I was working at over half term, I hope...
So expect in this order:
Scout cc squad
Finished cherub
Scout company captain
Then, after much deliberation Vostroyan standard bearer

Better pics of red and silvers thanks to the light box:

Scouts are here!:

I sitill hate the guy whos falling over

nice paint though

Congrats!

@Deadlychicken: Fine, you spot me th £12 for the box set to make up that one model

A (still) not so finished cherub, he need snow, which I do not have and will not for some considerable time.
I have sketched out a 500pt list for the legion's cherub/ serfs/ failed aspirants comprising of 2 squads of penal legion (plague monks with new heads), 1 squad vets (redemtionists from necromunda + the redeemer and Malakev) primaris phsyker (Astropath model) and phsyker battle squad (ringwraiths).




Two pieces in and already side tracked, a new record!
Crashed Aquila for my lunar table.



Fusion core set to blow!

An attempt at freehand.


Basic rust

DC

Them minis are brillant

@Deadly chicken: Thankyou, it is this model that inspired me to plan the army I detailed last post.
@Tyranid horde: Thankyou

I can't wait to see the rest of the army!!!

hurry up.

DC

@DC: I'm trying!

Oh I neglected to mention, yesterday my vostroyan officer earned me first place in the 14 and under category in a painting competition at the local GW, and a harry the hammer t-shirt.

lol....

congrats at the comp!!!

DC

Master of the recruits, Captain of the first scoout company Viclonus:

LOOKING GREAT!!!!!

DC

An adeptus arbite I finished recently:

not really digging the top knot on your wolf, but its a cool model
whats the cut off for young bloods any?

and tripping scout ftw


Automatically Appended Next Post:
recruit masters sword is pretty cool too btw

@krusty: Thanks
The guy is going to be a white scar seeing as the most recent white dwarf had a masterclass for vor'sarr khan, dunnoif that changes your opinion at all
I think young bloods is 14 and under

I like the arbite but the weapon is a bit strange....

I thought the carried shotguns?

awesome!!

DC

He is the mechanic, he carries a modified scanner that can also send out microwaves to fry targets, ie. meltagun!
