This is my newest piece of work, he's been complete now for about a week but the base was finished off today.  That I'm actually rather pleased with, it is my first play about with milliput and so it turned out alright I feel.  Perhaps could have been a little bit bigger but I'm happy with the result and the look of it too.

I have always loved this mini, so when I actually visited a GW a week or two ago I just had to pick him up and after a little bit of copying/inspiration off of a few versions I saw on CMON I came up with this.  For me the favourite part to paint was in fact his face, I don't know why but I thoroughly enjoyed painting it.  The freehand is my attempt, I've probably done half a dozen pieces of freehand and I think I'm getting better and better, this could have been done a bit better but the results work I think.

no comments and on the second page.. man thats rough.

Anyway I think this model looks cool, close to the original.

The only thing that needs work is the free hand.. Other wise It looks professional.. nice work.

Very nice indeed.

You know, with all the work the Imperium put into Yarick's body to make it support the right arm, you'd think that they would have fixed his teeth while they had him under...or maybe they have socialized dental.

Nice painting, it's all quite top notch.

You sculpted this whole thing with milliput? Seriously? Nicely done, though I agree that the freehand could use some touching up.

dude he means he sculpted the base from miliput. This is the standard GW metal yarrick model.

 

Nicely painted though man and I like the large dramatic base. Always loved Yarrick ever since the Jes Goodwin 2nd ed model.

Nice work. Especially the face.

Very nice paintjob! Captures alot of character

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, the base is made of milliput not the mini as a whole and the freehand is something I need to work on; planning to do so.

Very nice job, but it's to bad the Imperial Guard have no dental plan.

Awsome work

Very nice work.  Agree, the dude needs some dentures...and some exposure to the sun.  He is a bit...pink.

Hey, it's not like it's a SUNNY and Gothic future they're fighting in...

So... wait... is that a completely scratch build model, or a modified Yarrick model? I'm confused. If it's the former, then holy crap good job man, if it's the latter, then I love the paint job.

And yes, he needs more teeth.

BYE

The mini is just Yarrick, no converting or anything took place. The only scratch built was the rock he's stood on, my first time using milliput and the base came out rather well. How did you people get so confused?!

The teeth.. um, blame whoever sculpted him.
