A little more done on this figure, some shading and lining done, slow progress as is the norm for me.

Fantasy subjects never really been my thing, but I can appreciate the incredible paint-job here. Looks stunning! Very skill-fully done!

Thanks everybody :smiling2: four replacement heads turned up today for me to try out on this one and the decals I need. I also started on altering the base to add a bit of detail.
Basic work done just needs some paint and detailing.

Not my cup of tea (other drinks are availble) but very impressive work Mick!

[Guest]

Looks great Mick :smiling3:.

Thanks Ralph. I got the decals on and attached the figure to the base. I've tested the head and it looks good just needs cleaning up and painting now.
This has been a steep learning curve for me as my table top army many years ago were painted basic for gaming but so much care is taken these days even for basic troops. This character would have been painted in much more detail anyway to make it stand out. This is also a chapter I've never painted before but I liked the look of the Ultramarines so am going with it for the next few figures. Anyway here's the update, just some fine paint details to add.

Fine work Mick.

[Mickc1440]

Thanks Peter, the others I've got will really push me

Looks good Mick. The edge highlights bring out the texture nicely.

[Mickc1440]

Thanks again gents, the edge highlighting is a new thing to me on these type of models but fortunately plenty of go to videos out there to help. I got the head cleaned up and on a stick today, dreading this bit but its got to be done.

This one is now ready to in the box with my other figures. As I really love painting faces the others I have like this to paint up are all wearing helmets :smiling: you will probably notice that the right eye appears white, he has a scar running across it so I left it that milky colour as though it was damaged.
Thanks for looking in.

I did the original fantasy Warhammer in my youf and indeed the figures are still up in my mum's loft 30+ years later. But the 40k stuff started after I stopped gaming, so I never got into these.

He's come out very nicely indeed, so we'll done.
