Compilation of shots from my most recently completed model. This was my first time attempting any OSL effects. I think it pretty decent. C&C welcome.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933475.page GMT Re:Astorath The Grim I must say I love the colors and the osl. Also the base is quite nice. I think you make a somewhat common figure very unique.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933484.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933484.page GMT Astorath The Grim http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933488.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933488.page GMT Re:Astorath The Grim
I was very tempted to try and apply that blood splatter technique on your dread to this model. In the end it just didn't make sense.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933490.page GMT Re:Astorath The Grim

Ah cool. Yeah I wanted to do some blood splatter to mine as well but just the way the axe is it just doesn't look right to me. Is that the secret weapon base?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933502.page GMT Astorath The Grim http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933546.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933546.page GMT Astorath The Grim
However the bit I loved most from the original was the cool lightning effect on his power axe...would you consider having a bash at that too?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3933754.page GMT Re:Astorath The Grim http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3934240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430960/3934240.page GMT Astorath The Grim

It is indeed the finecast version. I had to do some minor work in a couple of places and there is a spot on his rear end where the mold was off so there's a pretty terrible mold line where I had to cut off some of the armor ribbing and re-sculpt. Luckily, my poor sculpting skills are hidden since it's covered by the jet pack. All in all, yes, I got very lucky.

I assume by 'original' you mean the GW version? I'll have to crack open my codex and see what he looks like there. I do feel like the axe is missing a little bit of kick. So perhaps I might give it a go and repost.


Sorry for the image spam, but I added a link to the gallery for this guy if folks don't mind dropping in and tossing a few votes in.
