Damn, that glaive and arm is looking nice. And familiar... They really do get everywhere.

Other stuff looks cool too.

New stuff looks great. Though somethings looks off about the Vindicare. I don't know if it's the blending of Imperial and Eldar parts that's messing with my perception of the model but he just looks strangely proportioned for some reason. I'll hold further judgement until the model's fully painted, though.

As people have pointed out this is, after all, the P&M section, not showcase so I will try to supply more wip/pip- pics.

In the spirit of that, here's some pics! Shocking, I know.


The Glaive arm of mr. big-and-nasty is almost done, frequent peepers of my work will recognise the deep indigo to emerald highlights on the armourpanel. As usual it's all brushwork and while fun, making that kind of fade without an airbrush is really tricky and takes quite some time.
If you listen really closely, I am sure you will hear the delighted squeals of Alpharius (mod) eco through the interwebs.

Ha!

So, where exactly is that weapon from then?

And that is one hell of a paint job on it - wow!

Heh, it's a mashup of a wraithknight's blade, the arm-stabiliser and stuff from a dreadknight and a dreadnought legplate.

It will be attached to this one, you cant have missed him now can you?

How do you do that paintjob on the blade, STC? It's beautifully done and it doesn't look like it's airbrushed. Was it all wet blended? Any chance of a tutorial in the future?

It's layered, I never got the hang of the whole wetblending thing, to messy for my style.

It's 6 layers on a black base with a final white highlight, but sure, I'll make a tutorial the next time I paint a powersword or something akin to it.

Hmm.. I made this guardnman. Kind of a 2-hour rushjob. More of a colour-test really, what do you lot think?

I think the only thing I'm not fond of is the color choice for the visor. The very bright blue of the armor makes the light blue-green of the visor kind of blend in with the rest of the model; specifically the helmet and face mask. I think if, maybe you changed the color of the visor or darkened the face mask to a neutral color like a black or gray, it would make the visor look less washed out with the rest of the model. Also, the strap on the lasgun could use a few touch-ups; there's a few splotches of brown on it.

Regardless, he looks good. I just think a few of the color choices are a tiny bit off.

Thank you, well. the strap is not painted yet, nor is the base. it's slightly PIP.

Ah. Well. That would make sense, then.

I like the colour choice, but agree with Darth Bob, the visor currently gets lost in the helmet/facemask.

I definitely like your blue hues...

The pose is nice, and the freehand =I= looks great ! In 2 hours, that's pretty impressive...

Is that an Elysian masked head with a Cadian helmet on it? I don't think I've ever seen that head before.

As has been said, the visor need to be a different colour, red would be my recommendation, although an orange or yellow would be nice too. Just to introduce some warmth to the scheme,

Other than that stunning as always mate.

I love the color scheme. The greys and browns are great together with the turqoises. I agree that the visor does get a bit lost, but I think I like it nonetheless. It reminds me of real life visors which can be similar but not quite the same as their surrounding masks and helmets.

Thanks guys. I love some feedback on and then.
I am thinking orange might be the way to go with the visor to make it pop.

Sheep: It is, I bought a bunch of elysian respirator heads a few years back but they don't fit well with the cadian plastic. Cutting the respirator into the cadian helmet works very well but but is quite fiddly. Also, I have not either seen anyone do that yet so thus it is mine, all mine.

Picked it!

Looks great man, I'll copy that shamelessly

NoooooOOOOooooes! My nifty design! Stolen!

Steal away sheep, as long as you make something awsome with it. Or I will send ninjas...

Looks awesome! I've been a big fan of your models (mostly the Alpha Legion) for a while. Can't wait to see more.

I think the visor looks fine, but there is a lot of 'bright' in the picture, and I think it might have washed it out a little.

Orange might be cool, or a yellow/amber sort of coloring, if you do end up adjusting it.

Been slacking a bit lately, but this is what I have been orking on lately. massively wip yet but I'd thought I toss a few photos in here and see what you guys think.

Very nice! Although the characteristic shape of the "bunny ears" might work better without the second chaos ornament, leading to a slightly less cluttered silhouette.

I quite like it with the standard and the bunny ears, but I would be inclined to listen to KrautScientist - the dude sure knows how to make a World Eater.

I also like the pale blue armour on your guardsman, really nice colour.

Knowing STC's level of quality, I think it'll be fine.

The trick will be color I think. Right now since it's all grey and WIP it sort of blends together.

Nice work you have here. The paintjob on the guardsman is very cool. To call it a test model... pah.

LOve the pose on that dude - so majestic! I wanna see it finished and painted bro

Thanks guys.

I'm experimenting a bit with different backpacks with different ornaments, I'll make up my mind soon. Finished the base though, I'll arrange some pics soon.

When I say that I will do something "soon", that might mean a timeframe of 5 minutes to 12 months..



Nothing to see citizen! Move along, move along, no lollygaging!


++[A Highly Suspicious Streetlight Indeed.]++

Absolutely nothing wrong with your definition of 'soon'.....that certainly matches my dictionary

Great looking base....and it fits your work surface too

My Lords.

As per your request, received on 017.769.M41 by the Tetragons astropathic choir, I have compiled the few data-relics my team of forensic Infocytes and Data-Archeologists has been able to recover on the Legio Ophidium Adeptus Astartes from the Tetragons sequestered data-stacks in the deep archives. Much is, I am said to say, heavily corroded, redacted with inviolable authority-prefixes or rendered in archaic prose as to render the accounts near unintelligible with ambiguity.
We hope that what little hard data we were able to recover within the limited timeframe made available to us will be of use to the Ordos Necromunda, the report, however, lies within the seal of Lord inquisitor Zukhoff and as such must be ratified by his office before it can be released for further dissemination within the Ordos.
