Domdan was my first victim and he already sent me his Space Marine a long time again (pic following soon). So naturally I felt kind of bad taking so long, so I did my best to try and make his request for a 4th Company Ultramarines as perfect as I could. Though he is by no means as good as some of the stunning work I've seen out there, I think Domdan will like him. That and I suprizingly really enjoyed painting up another Ultramarine after over a decade of blue-boy free wargaming:
More exchange minis coming up soon, starting off with a Tyranid of yet undetermined genus. As well as a Snakebit Voodoo Ork Doc based on an old Rogue Trader mini!
So, did you convert that up and paint it? Or just paint it?
ReplyDeleteBoth the conversion work and the painting are good, I just don't want to credit you for both if it's not your work. :) I like the battle damage on the marine, and the green "snout". I've not seen someone paint their marines that way before... it has character.
Aye, conversion and paintjob are both mine for a buddy who loves 4th company. I know the snout thing is a bit unusual, has worked wonders for me over the year by adding some variation to squads that would otherwise be rather uniform.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just need a little bit of distraction in the scheme to make the mini or interesting, or chaotic ;-)
Oh, most definitely. Sometimes, even a small change can breath more life into a squad (or into a disenfranchised painter). :)
