Need opinions... rough drafts of each..

Left was the Tin Bitz (antique look) trial then when I started painting other pieces on the armor, the claws didnt look special..

SO..

I went a little extreme, and the result is on the right.. Hot , right out of the forge look, with my attempt at transfering the glow to the lower armor.. I love this one.

But let me know what you think about the claw options.

The glowing look is excellent. The only issue I have is the way the glow suddenly stops at his collar. Get the lighting on the armour just right, and that will be one fantastic model.

updated the pic with the glow going all the way up.

I'm thinking everyone is gonna like the glowie as much as I do heh.

glowing is the cooler look!

That's much better now. Excellent!

i dig those claws

The glowy one is well done and certainly catches the eye more. However, it looks like he has pieces of candy corn for fingers to me.

Candy corn is delicious though!

And the glow is the winner.

I like the second one but the glow just seems a little bit too powerful to me, to each his own I suppose, but I would have kept it to the region immediately surrounding the lightning claws.

yea the glowy one is awesome. the claws almost look like evil candy corn...but thats even sweeter! (get it? sweeter? candy corn?? HAHAA)
seriously tho really nice paint job on that one. the first is just kindda bland

Glowing. Hell yes.

I vote the glowing ones 100%!!! In fact I think I'm gonna send you my squad of Lightning claw Khorne termies for the same paint job

LOL candy corn... never thought of that until it was said haha.. I could have done the same effect with any other color for the glow but I was liking the red/orange.

great comments!

This was the idea.. with the candy corn!

low light...

<there was a picture here... now its up top!>

yea thats why i think candy corn will rule the world some day. seriously look how AWESOME your mini turned out lol. once again mad props on that. they really look like they are white hot

Wow- great effect.

Wait, which claws are those? I've hated all the lightning claws that I've seen from the new kits (the stupid boxy fist-with-a-potato-slicer look). These are all kinds of wicked and sharp. Are they from the Chaos termi lord box, or are they older or conversions? Not being a Marine player, I'm not familiar with 'em.

EDIT: Dude, your sig pic should link to a site to sell your services if you're going to post great work like this...

Looks great.

As this is your first attempt at this and you did such an awesome job on the lighting effect can you run through what you did to the model to get the lighting effect?

Radioactive candy corn?

Glad you like it! Everything came from the Term Lord Box. And I'm updating my site right now.
