Awesome shoes aside, and they are awesome...

Pasanius is really good. Why? Because you've used the fluff to make him properly accurate. Modified terminator armour? Superb.The arm? Excellent.

You've obviously given it some thought, and it really pays off. Well done.

In regards to paint try the P3 range they have more pigment in which gives you a stronger colour first time.

Thank you for the tip! I'm currently trying a Game Colour one

Yayyyy

Nevelon wrote:Now, are those first company shoes, denoted by the white trim, or do the gold laces denote membership in the second company?

Really fun and cool!

I don't think my friend went for either one really, she just knows Ultras are all about the gold and white so stuck em both in there

Thank youuuu, I think she's making more, watch this space haha.

Wow thanks Tigurius, I find I'm a lot more into the conception of models if I'm using the fluff Which leads me onto a problem actually... I need advice from you guys. I chose Pasanius's head really carefully as it had to fit my idea of him. I found a head for Uriel which wasn't as close to my idea as Pasanius's was, but it was acceptable. I promptly lost the head, and we can only assume it has gone into the warp, never to be seen again. So, this leaves me with limited choices. the WIP head at the moment can be seen here...



Do you think it being helmeted ruins the effect of the diaroma some how? Pasanius is obviously bareheaded and has lost an arm so does Uriel being helmeted make him look... to complete and pristine considering their plight? I need your opinions so I can make a decision whether to persue my online space marine head shopping or not...

Thanks xxx

I think the helmet looks great and love the diorama idea. If I was too suggest anything it would maybe be the angle of the helm? Tilted to one side but looking straight he seems a bit..... Quizzical maybe? Maybe looking along the line of one if arms?

I agree with San on the angle of the helm. Perhaps he should be facing more up, as if he's looking at his sword, or just past it (otherwise it looks like he's mesmerised by his own sword ).

Lovely job on the diorama so far! And those shoes... DO WANT! (although I'd love to have a Blood Angels one )

Hi San yep I will angle it, was just popping it in for the sake of the photo

Hahah I want to have every legion! (Well not every legion but most ) I think you're right about looking at the sword!

I'm happy to report I've found the bare head that I wanted to use, so I won't be using the back-up helmeted one shown here, I just think the diorama will look better if we can see the emotion in his face

Making progress with Fulgrim, used the airbrush for the first (proper) time... Allowed me to get some really nice shading the cloak- you can't see that overly well here, sorry about that. He's also wearing purple eye makeup, not recovering from two black eyes before someone makes that joke hahah

Nice thought I notice the airbrush technique when I looked at the picture I don't really see any black eyes either looks great to me

Lovely work so far bubble. Your airbrush skills are really good, the cloak looks very nice.

Fulgrim is coming on nicely, he isn't my favourite primarch model but you are doing him justice. A good purple and the red on the cloak looks really well shaded too.

^^^ Blame this guy for the Gak!!! ^^^

Nice Fulgrim Bubble! coming along well so far, I love seeing everyone's take when painting them up! :-)

So do I, looking foward to the next update

Still waiting bubble lol

Ok So I haven't updated since May because I'm a massive boob, but HERE I AM, HOORAY!

It's finally done, my poor Uriel and Pasanius diorama... the boys in blue have been waiting patiently and are finally ready to show















Now... who can tell I've stolen J-Paint's snow technique? Hahahahah xxx

Just wouldn't be Astartes without someone removing a daemon's head with a big crackly power sword Nice job bubble!

*snigger* She said Boob...

Looks good there bubbalubs!

Very nice indeed bubble thats a lovely blue, and yeah I think you've stolen the snow effect quite nicely

Great work on Uriel and Pasinius, really natural poses and neat paintwork!

Good job Bubble.

The blue is nice, the green is very good (especially on the cloak) and the faces are really well done.

And the snow looks like snow, so that's a good job too.

I like the atmosphere of the piece its like the final stand you can imagine them surrounded by Demons,

The painting is nice and vibrant and the snow contrast well to lift it even more so, the only thing I would have done different is added more blood splatter

Thanks Angelofvengeance, Childe, Giraffee, Paradigm and Dr H!

Hahah never too much blood!

Ok so Fulgrim is still in progress but I've just got my hands on Rylanor!



He's beautiful and I'm super excited to paint him. I've started to pose him and I've always wanted to make an EC dreadnought diorama based on this image -



It's got a similar theme to this wonderful model I saw at Warhammer Fest -



I'm basically going to combine the two and have Rylanor, reaching up to touch one of the flowers on a tree, and have some bloody mess at his feet. I think it really catches the essence of the Emperor's Children... obviously not a unique concept but I always loved the idea so screw it, imma make it dioramas are exciting to me

xxx

I Like the idea of mixing up the beauty that is nature with the devastation that is war

Just a thought depending on how large the diorama base is going to be you could combined a war torn environment merging into a elegant landscape, if you like of that is





O yes plenty of blood splatter

Sounds like a great idea bubble.

Love how the Phoenician is like "D'aww look at the pretty flowers! *casually walking through gore and corpses*

Oh my bubble... that fan art is brilliant! I cant wait to see what you do with this guy now haha!
