Harles. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/219777.page

The idea is the avatar cut the CSM army off, clipped the pack, grabbed the head picked him up and cut him in half and is holding him up for GLORY!! HAZAA. My favorite part was doing the "Bloody hand of Kane" in which I just spilled blood redo n the hand/head of the CSM.

Anyways here it is.

Anyways I appreciate the support on my other modeling and sad painting attempts. I promise to try to paint better hah!
I hope you guys like it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406292.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406292.page GMT Avatar!! First conversion ever. Sorry the painting is still meh. ew....gross.....

1 tip for gore ive found works, mix up some sand with pva and apply that, gives the gore a nice meaty feel to it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406297.page GMT Avatar!!

First conversion ever. Sorry the painting is still meh. IMO, to the point where it kind of overpowers the figure.

Regarding the painting. The flash certainly doesn't help. Look for a couple of tutorials at taking pics of minis. However, you could give the entire figure a good washing to give it some shading and definition. I'd probaby wash the entire figure in paynes grey and then highlight the pieces back up. Alternative, you can highlight the greys, silvers, greens, and reds with Badab Black and the golds and bronzes wiht Devlan Mud.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406465.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406465.page GMT Avatar!!

Don't worry man Ill take it for what its worth and you don't need to preface with IMO, its obviously your opinion otherwise you wouldn't be saying it. heh

Ill have to give those painting suggestions a try. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406539.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406539.page GMT Avatar!! First conversion ever. Sorry the painting is still meh. as for the avatar, i love how you picked out the detail in the armor, give it a subtle wash and work from there to see how you want it to look.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406564.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406564.page GMT Avatar!!

First conversion ever. Sorry the painting is still meh. csm ran into an avatar thats what would happen. i think that ones lucky that he has some meat left. but i agree with the washes. washes not only add some really nice depth to minis, but also if you dont like your painting skills, washes are a great way to dull it down. really look into washes they are great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220163/406977.page GMT Avatar!!
