Hey Guys,

Here is the fourth installment of my objective markers. I really had no paint scheme to go by as there is VERY LITTLE in the way of Crimson Fist Apothecary pictures out there! I hope it is compliant with the Astartes Index.

Any comments are appreciated, here or on the tube.

Very cool - I like how you achieved the effect of the Apoth's spotlight.

I like it a lot, thou It would be better in battlezone. I like your colour scheme! Really cool...

Love your work man really really do!

But I think your OSL lighting just didn't work not sure why, too white maybe.

Inclined to agree, the OSL needs a bit of TLC... At the moment it looks like someones just painted a load of white on his arm, whereas the OSL on the dead Crimson Fist looks pretty good making it inconsistent and hard on the eyes.

Thanks so much guys, The OSL looks better in Real life, but I must admit, I wished it would have turned out a little better. I think a few things are going against it, one is the white armour.... There isn't enough contrast. I did want an extremely bright light though as the apothecary is performing surgery to remove the gene seed.

i love it, it creates a dramatic scene especially combined with the music and your other objective markers

Thats a great Idea I like them .

i dont want to be overly critical cat because i know you painted it all with a brush but the OSL is a bit too much imo... ofc i understand that its a searchlight for long range (although this is also a point of discussion) so when something is that close it would be overly bright. but it gives the idea that its really dark and the model itself is just too light for that.

other then that its a marvelous piece!! i really like the pose (what is he holding in his left hand though? a 40k anesthetic club?) i also really like the 4 of them together! really something special

Thanks guys,

Dijnsk, you arent being overly critical at all and I appreciate all feedback! I went with an overly bright light as the apoth is in surgery if you will, so I wanted it bright but I know I didnt "nail" the osl.

The vessel in the other arm was imagined as the vessel that would keep the gene seed safe once extracted.

Cheers!

understood! when you put it like that i guess it makes more sense

woah, incredible! Love it!

Does the apothecary model come like that, if so, where can I buy it? or did you convert it yourself?

Hey Jensvejmand,

That was HEAVILY converted from an old metal Apothecary model. I have a video on youtube that sort of shows you the mock up.

Cheers!

its a really interesting vid and its an inspiration for converters

Awesome job. I really like it.

Thanks guys!

I love the model you did a great job.
