Competition

This is the guy I did the old warrior as a test figure for and I like to think the practice at the chipped armour effect and the rust worked. The base is made from part out of an old PC DVD Drive and other pieces scavenged from some GW sprues cut up and re-arranged. Anyway I hope you like my foray into the world of 40k, just about the only thing I'd like to tweak is the monitor screen, but my first attempt didn't really work and other projects need attention so it will stay blank for a while.

The rust was done with VMC German Cammo Black Brown, VMC Black Red and VMC Bright Orange.

The verdigris was done with VMC Bronze Green and VMC Verdigris Glaze

And the chipped weathering was applied with a sponge.

Thanks for looking

Delphic 18-Apr-07 #221717		Rating: 10 I believe you haha, the blending IS there and it IS great This piece really captures how I imagine a Chaos Space Marine to look. I can't really spot anything I dislike about it. Nice work dude.

PrawnPower 16-Apr-07 #221445		Rating: - Just like to thank everyone for looking and all the botes and kind words. I'm wondering wether I should do another post with close-ups and a couple of small tweaks I did after getting a display base for it (So you can see there really is some blending, honest !!). Anyway, I just got myself the Warhammer Fantasy Nurgle Champion so expect to see something in a similar colour scheme soon.

Bohun 11-Apr-07 #221021		Rating: 10 Excellent in every aspect. Very original aproach, unique colors and amazing mood. The base is equally good as the mini itself. The complexity is almost confusing and it reminds me somehow of Mercenary Ogryn's creations. Love the weatheres white of the armour and the scyte.
Aliengod3 09-Apr-07 #220834		Rating: 9 Well I think the blending went out the window... sort of. The mini has such a great atmosphere and the base is awesome and the rust and paint chips and whatnot all look great.
Aarnon 09-Apr-07 #220816		Rating: 9 The verdigris is great (a little heavy, though). The base is also great! Very cool
automaton 09-Apr-07 #220815		Rating: 10 Really fantastic work, friend - you put a lot of effort into this one, and I think it's a big step forward. The colours are great, original, and all the weathering looks really excellent I think..the base is so intricate and cool haha, well done! Very impressive, congratulations!
