Happy painting!









Oh yeh, if anyone would like a character painted up, I do occasionally do commissions

That is awesome, great use of bits! Is the head from a Blood Angels kit?

I actually think the head is the biggest problem with the model. Not the head itself, but the way it's positioned. His head is jutting out much farther than heads (helmeted or non-helmeted) sit in Cataphractii armor, and so it makes him look like his neck is twice the length of a normal Space Marine. The paint job is fantastic, and I think the head works, but the positioning looks very awkward, IMHO. It could also be that the head is larger than those seen on the stock FW Cataphractii, which could add to it looking jarringly different than the others. It's still a great model, regardless. You've done a wonderful job.

Glad you like him, all conversion pieces were taken from the BA Death Company models.

Thanks for the feedback. It's a fair comment, the head doesn't quite fit, I tried to make it work with the paint job but you can still tell it doesn't sit quite right. Next time I'll know to keep searching before committing to it though, glad you like him!

Well done sir. Love the colors and the base.

Wow,just wow very cool model.
I Need to know how you painted this red, pleeaaaseeeee i have to know
