The second salvo in a series of articles entitled Citadel Legends

The aim of this series of articles was inspired by Harry's This Week I Have Been Mostly Painting which focusses on painting the mountain of models I have safely tucked away somewhere, out of sight, out of mind. I own quite a few rare models in my collection and much to my shame, most of these lie tucked up safety somewhere at the Bottom of a bitz box.

THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

Space Marine Gamesday Captain 1991





Here is the second entry into my Citadel Legends.

Here is the blog entry for the Games Day Captain from 1991 Gamesday UK.

If anyone knows who the sculptor was please get in touch!

Blast to paint, oozing character and menace.

Nice ball cape.

Do want that mini...

On topic though the paintjob is just stunning...yeah, not that much else I can say other than that it is stunning.

Thank you both.

So what's up next on the list? Any requests?

Really nice paint job. The pink cape with silver balls really brings the model life. Never understand why this model never hand a grip on the gun?

Can't wait to see what you do next. Especially if it the Great Spined Dragon! With delicate tin foil wings...

awesome mini and paintjob.

i love the fact that you had to model the wings of the great spined dragon yourself ^^

@zwan; cheers dude. It always struck me as odd too. I remember seeing it in the rulebooks and always thought it was a mistake; the model was broke, or the photo was clipped.

@hamham; thanks for the feedback. It's a toss up between sgt. Centurius and the great spined dragon.

I'll wait for a little more feedback then decide.

Hey, I've got one of those on my to-paint-when-I-get-a-chance pile. Pretty sure it was Jes Goodwin that sculpted it.

Great job!

I always was amused at the weapon of that captain. It has no grip or trigger on it, how's it supposed to be used?

Great work. That was one of the models I always liked. Wish I had one lying around still.

And the weapon, IIRC, has a handle. It's just way, way back in a completely inconvenient and incomprehensible place. Let's just say that the guys making the models don't really know how guns work.
