This is my contemptor, its out of the calth box so I've done some work reposing him, the effect is subtle but I think it makes him a lot more dynamic. I brought one leg furth back so he's walking rather than shuffling and rotated his legs outward at the hip to make him look a bit more natural. I also repositioned his torso a little.

Paint job wise he's almost done, I just need to think of something interesting to do with his base and then weather him to match. I used a lot of techniques I've not tired before, so I think he's coming along alright.









C+C welcome!

That's quite simply fantastic! Absolutely stellar weathering work!

For basing, I think having him stride through rubble would work well, maybe some tank wreckage or something as well (in your opponent's colours, of course!)

Looks pretty epic so far man! Definitely an improvement over the original pose-might have to copy yours when I get around to mine haha

Basing maybe a bloody opponent on the gound? the blood spatter on the 'hand' seems to suggest such. Best of luck to you!

Modest blood splatters - I like it (y)
Also, nice weathering.

I actually thought this was like a digital mockup at first

Wow, really going ham on the weathered look. I love it!

How did you go about painting it? Looks great!

wow that looks awesome!!

really love the weathering!

Thanks a lot guys! I got the effect by following the same steps as this guy:
