<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Dark Vengeance Helbrute!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Dark Vengeance Helbrute! Decided to post my commission painting of the Dark Vengeance Helbrute!
My friend decided the scheme and this is how the whole army (minus the Cultists) is going to look.












Sorry about the basing, or lack of, I have no basing stuffs anymore :(
[Edit] Got some greenstuff today, time to sculpt a base!

First, assembly - while I don't see any mold lines or sprue vents, there are a few pretty significant seams that stand out, both due to the physical gap and the stark black primer(?) visible therein.

Second, OSL - It works pretty well behind the neck - loses a few points for realism, as the flesh is brighter than the hoses in some spots, but it still looks good - but it kills pretty much any definition on the face, almost like he was smeared with light green makeup. I think it might take a smaller, more subdued glow and higher contrast on the underlying skin (like you have on the legs and torso) to make it really work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495971/5102799.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495971/5102799.page GMT Dark Vengeance Helbrute!
The gaps are there because they wont glue shut properly.
I keep them held together for ages but they pop back apart again. Might have to greenstuff over.

Also the OSL on the face looks better IRL. In the photos the flash has washed it out a bit. That and my brush isn't thin enough. Need a smaller one.

I agree with everything above. The red and silver/ black and silver split is very nice.

One of my favorite parts of the Helbrute model is the slits on the back (I and many others interpret them as gills/ vents) I think they could use some details, maybe a wash or ink inside them? I saw someone on here had bright red blood pouring out of them and down the 'brute's back. Always liked that Idea

Also, I like the fleshtone on it. Can you maybe take another picture in more natural lighting please? I'd like to get a better sense of it's appearance IRL.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495971/5142359.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495971/5142359.page GMT Dark Vengeance Helbrute!
A good base would give do some more justice to your paintjob.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495971/5142614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495971/5142614.page GMT Dark Vengeance Helbrute!
Anyway the painting is really good, the split red and black looks very nice.

The paint scheme is my friends choice.
I will post more pics on my blog soon.

My exact thoughts just better worded. The face could use a touch up and the big gap in the multimelta fixed. Other than that it looks great. The silver trim looks awesome on the black especially]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495971/5154639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495971/5154639.page GMT
