Stern Iron Priest with Thrall Bodyguard

hey Dakka...
here is my latest job...
the full 360 view is here:
http://coolminiornot.com/254853
painted to my basic commission standard, with the basic conversion/sculpting option added...
i threw in the freehand for free, because this guy would not have looked right without it...
the Chapter is called The Heralds of Light, a creation of one of the guys over on the Bolter & Chainsword...
the icon on the right knee is the Chapter symbol, while the sculpted flaming tower on the shield and shoulder are the Company symbol...
this was a fun little conversion, since i rarely ever take a fantasy piece and put it on a 40k mini...
i chopped the chainsword off of the bionic arm, and added an empire shield...
the power coils on the inside are sculpted, as are the two tower symbols...
the sword is taken from the BA Sanguinary Guard...
it took a while to work out how to paint the white, as i usually work up over browns instead of greys...
in the end, after a royal pain with the photography, i got a close approximation of how he looks in hand...
i went for quite a strong comicbook look to this guy...
not very subtle, but quite striking.
hope you like him...
thanks for looking...
cheers

Holy chiz. This is great. Love the lighting. You're really good at that.
OH MY GOD! You were on that thread talking about source-lighting, and you showed us this guy's head! Wow, really great to see him all put together.

Excellent color scheme. I especially like the effective, but not ostentatious, source lighting.

Ditto on the excellent color scheme, especially how the figure as a whole works with the warmth of the base. I particularly like the design on the shield & shoulder-pad.

The sheild arm is a bit long I reckon.
But that is epically painted.. How do you do your white, its incredible.

thanks for all the kind words, guys...
it was a long, hard, slog to build and paint this guy...
@Alpharius: thanks bud...the check's in the mail  ...
@Ambull: glad you like the base, as i was worried that the terracotta may have been too bold a move...
@Shaman: the camera did something funky to the look of that shield arm...
it's the standard bionic arm from the Captain kit...
it looks alright in hand, but really tweaked out in the pics...
there will be a write-up on the painting of the white on my blog in a couple days...
thanks again, all...
cheers

I've always been a sucker for the eye-lighting techniques. You used some really great complimentary colors here. Even though the main colors are blue and white it's not cold because you made really good use of the gold. The only criticism I really have is that the shield arm looks a little awkward. I would have bent it a little bit.

"Straight Fething Silver"  Tanith first and only
I have a reputation, Modile, a reputation as a fair, honest man who treats his soldiers well and supports them in the face of darkness. Potentially, that reputation makes me soft. It seems I understand failure and forgive it. Some, like Kowle, believe me to be a weak commissar, not prepared to take the action my rank demands. Not prepared to enforce field discipline where I see it failing. I am an Imperial commissar. I will enflame the weak, support the wavering, guide the lost. I will be all things to all men who need me. But I will also punish without hesitation the weak, the incompetent, and the treasonous.
I am a Commissar. I am empowered to deliver justice wherever I see it lacking. I am empowered to punish cowardice. I am granted the gift of total authority to judge, in the name of the Emperor, on the field of combat.

Without saying, it's awesome. The only thing that is jumping out at me is that the left arm seems to be bent the wrong way at the elbow?? Almost as if he was double jointed...
Could just be the angle of the pic.
