Oh yeah! eyepatch head on the Marine, for the Mega armor nob I am torn between the horned helm and either of the two heads with the bionik bitz

For the Marine I would say either the headband or the eye-patch head. It depends on what he will be doing, as eye-patch head is the more active of the two.

For the Ork...hmm... not sure. Again, depends on the pose. Maybe do that and then decide what head fits...

Thanks for your thoughts, Here's the scene.

Ah, that changes things.
Eye-patch head

Is the ork being stabbed?
If not, then head 1 or 4
If so, then head 3 or 5.
That's probably the best I can advise on orks at the mo.

Given Nerd's comp is about faces, I would go 3, 2, 1. Best for your diorama? 3, 1, 2. I guess I pick 3...

I think I use Ork head 4 on my Megaboss, and 5 is "standard" - I think I'd go with 2 - but then I do have Bloodaxe tendencies...

Not sure if I'm any help

Definitely Eyepatch head for the Marine, and the horned head as it is all screaming and aggressive

Update: Base coat on the Face to Face.

Lokks like a hella fight

Funder turd is amazing Cam, wonderful use of scrap materials and modelling ingenuity. As for you face to face, you really are on a roll at the moment. It's a joy checking in on your work

So my ork needed some pec's, so I sent him to the gym......

Oh and the face choices narrowed down.

Okay, use the Gazkhull head, he is screaming more, and the eyepatch head gives that marine a different character of bad-assery

whoa... that´ll be an epic fight for sure!!!

i would vote for the bionic head of the ork...and non bearded one for marine...

also...

Still lots to do, but please keep your comments coming, I thrive on feedback.

Cheers

this is grim dark, needs to be spilled over his chest as well. Needs his arm on the ground. Is a great piece so far cam! really enjoy it. Sorry i havent been around in so long.

Okay, that head on the marine will also work as it is screaming, I agree with comrade, right arm at the Orks' feet.

Well just for you guys. Update. Big pic dump.

This is it, just about. Just snagging to do, which I hope you can help with. If you see anything please point it out, before I post this on comp thread.

So here we go...... Face to Face.










All C & C welcome please, thank you for your time, just wish I was a better painter to do this justice.

whoa...what a cool looking model...
that ork boss is taking that whippersnapper to the bloody cleaners!!! and a half...bwahahaha...

i had a good look in detail ... and i have to say the marine face looks really in agony the way you painted it... blood tickling looks convincing...and the stuu´bbles of beard are very good looking...

i only have to ask... are the spots of whatever it is on the checkers of the shoulderpad on the ork intentional?...just checking... otherwise i deem that model very perfect...maybe something a bit more firey looking to the pivot flame of the flamer... but other than that... brilliant!

I too have had a close and critical look at the pictures.

Can't see any issues with the modelling. Good job.

3rd pic down: Is that red on the bottom of the cable going to the flamer? May need a touch up with black.

The Ork's face is fine, I see no problems.
The marines face; His left eye looks like it could do with a touch up under it to make the black smaller and to match the other eye. Also, maybe a bone/flesh mix highlight on the T-zone (brow and nose). The blood, stubble, lower lip and teeth (looks like he's missing a tooth even) all good.

On the marine, the VI on the backpack vents could be neater as could some of the highlights. But that's only visible under extreme close-up so I wouldn't loose sleep over those.

I'm not sure on the flame of the flamer, but also not sure how to make it look better.

And finally, the blood(?) coming out the Ork's stomach looks a bit too much like lava to me. Not sure if that's intentional though, so up to you (I assume you wanted it to look different from the Marines blood).

Good Job

Also: just to mention that I like the flame pattern on the Ork's feet.

Thank you gents, will look art those bits.

The idea of the orks belly, was indeed that the marines sword is melting its way in, so trying to look like molten metal, afraid my painting skills letting me down there.

The flamer tip, I am really not sure of, any ideas are very much welcome.

Ah yes, powersword + metal armour = molten metal. Lava, molten metal, both hot, both red and glowy. That works for me.

Burn his guts out is what the marine is hoping for.


Kind of like that??

Yup.

Please leave your thoughts.

Next up Funder Turd.

Looking better it is catching the fight well!

Update : Funder Turd

So While waiting for the other to dry, and working out if I need to do more. I decided to do a bit more to the Terrain comp. So here we go, as always this is WIP so please comment, and give me some feed back.






And on base.



Thanks for looking.

Very nice Cam.
The big number 3 makes me happy.

With that blue background the terrain piece looks like an island of some kind...

Both competition entries are awesome bud! Soo cool!

Cam stop going so fast.. I gotta enjoy the moments just for me. Also, that arm really sells alot of what is going on. Top notch!

As faces go, I'd say N° 3 for the human, and N° 1 (specially if you could turn the hair braid to the back, and bolster a charging-like look) or N° 4, to go along with the meched-up feel of the armour.

Either of them will give a good canvas for painting an expressive face!

Cheers.

PS: I don't know what really happened here, but I just noticed my three days old post showed up just now! Late as it was, at least I got one right ! Both comp pieces are looking great, BTW.

DANG!!! That "face to face" looks epic! and you can say no less about the thunder turd.
