Finished up a Leuitenant for a painting comp at my local store. He got second place.

I didn't add any shoulder emblems (personally not a fan) but after seeing some of the other models, I realised it does make the model look somewhat unfinished, so will probably add some at a later date.

The dude:

One other thing I've never taken to is the increase in the use of red on an Imperial Fists model. Always vastly preferred black/white/yellow being used primarily for the Fists. The red chest eagle on your figure is beautifully painted but just seems really blase to me. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733081/9497994.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733081/9497994.page GMT Primaris Leuitenant
Personally, I think yellow and red combined is blasphemy. Then I again I understood the Imperial Fists' reason for wearing yellow is that they want their enemies to see them coming. If they're also scratching their eyes out, I guess it doesn't hurt.

Good job!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733081/9499859.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733081/9499859.page GMT Primaris Leuitenant

Thanks man! I did actually think "Elbows will hate this" when making the base, but it gave me an opportunity to go crazy with some turfing and water experiments

Thank you! I took my time with the highlights (for once) so glad it got noticed

Thanks I actually settled on red after I saw a few Google images of the same scheme. Plus it gave me an excuse to not try and make a black chest Eagle look convincing!


Really appreciate the comments guys

You get bonus points for it not being:

A) a huge chunk of random garden stone glued to a plastic base.

B) A 4"x4" piece of random cork tile...glued to a plastic base.

C) A 4-5" tall wedding cake plastic column w/ the model leaping off of it for some unknown reason.

D) A 12 oz. piece of resin which you paid Forgeworld an additional $45 USD for...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733081/9500446.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733081/9500446.page GMT Primaris Leuitenant http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733081/9500901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733081/9500901.page GMT
