Hey everyone, thought i'd share an ultramarines captain that I finished yesterday - am about to finish an apothecary also, so keep an eye out for him

Would love to hear you guys' thoughts

LDP

Nice work, LDP . That's a very shooty captain.

It looks like the plasma pistol was drilled a little off center.

The gamer in me twitches about the weapon loadout from a points/mechanics POV. From a fluff/looks standpoint, it does make sense though.

Alway nice to see you painting your Ultras, fantastic work as always. Not just the paint jobs, but your conversions and builds are some of the best out there.

Great brushwork. Not a huge fan of the model. What's the rifle in the left hand? Is that a grav weapon I've heard so much about?

The mohawk would work better turned sideways.

What kit is the body and cape from? Also don't forget to add an iron halo.

It looks like he took the base mono-pose captain, and did his conversion magic on him. Something as simple as a head/weapon swap I’m guessing.


OK, looking at the side-by-side, a full arm swap for the plasma pistol.

How feasible would it be to switch the combi-grav arm without ruining the torso or cape?

I like it. The model is balanced. The paint job is neat. Only crit I have is the inside of the cloak, under the arm with the plasma pistol, is begging for a bit of contrast. There is no light playing on this area at all, and I think it's an opportunity you missed out on to get a bit more depth on the model. Otherwise, I see you have gold down to a fine art!

Cheers for all the feedback everybody, very grateful for your compliments and critiques. The captain is indeed the Neve's monopose captain, with an arm and headswap. The combi grav bit is a pain that I ended up committing to because while the gun itself wont mess with the cloak, the shoulder pad and left forearm underneath are all morphed in one bit, so I resigned that it'd be too hard to mess around with.
