My second Iron priest on thunderwolf conversion is now painted. Yes thats right folks, I have emerged from under the pile of thunderwolves still needing completion, and polished this chappie off.
In actual fact he has been sitting on my shelf 95% complete for a little while now, but I got distracted with other things and forgot to finish him. I got some great feedback for my last iron priest paint job, and have applied a few of the lessons to this guy (especially as he is alot more grey than the last :D). I hope it is enough to make him interesting.
I wont bore you with all the details of how I painted him, as I followed my standard SW theme. I will only mention the few later additions as I feel they do help add some more depth to the model. Because it is quite a grey model (black/grey wolf and grey armoured marine with helmeted head) I felt it needed just a small spot of colour here and there to break it up a little. Joe B gave me a great tip on the last guy about adding black to help break up the surface of the armour without adding too much crazy colours or textures, so I did that with the mask and knee pad And they do work nicely. Greg also gave me some advice on my use (or lack of) colour on the mini, and although I have not gone wild on that, a few spots of purple on the backpack and axe shaft help a little to draw the eye I think. Overall I am pretty pleased with the result, and think he fits in well with the rest of the thunderwolf pack.
I am now nearing the end of my current space wolf binge, and have a few exciting paint projects and conversions lined up for my harlequin carnival, so stay tuned for those. My second talos is almost complete and I hope to post him up soon. I am also working on a scourge force for dropzone commander, as well as painting up a few robots for my Infinity Yu Jing army.
That's it for now folks:)
NafNaf out!
