[WIP] Captain Titus Diorama (Pt3) (a.k.a"You think this is bad? wait till you see it on pixel screen")

Allow me to reiterate some interesting sig that I saw on a 40k related forum...
"You think this is bad? wait till you see it on pixel screen"

Progress this week:

Touched up and finished the weapon of this prototype boy...

A little hobby tips on painting the checker pattern (the square box on the boyz shoulder pad..), if you try to paint the box with Skull White directly, it will be pretty hard to look nice and even, but if you do a box with a shade of Fortress Grey first then touch it up with skull with, it will goes on smoothly... try this if you are having problem painting the white evenly =)

You can apply the trick above on Gold too, paint a shade of brownish color (eg: Snakebit) then the thinned down gold will easily paint and visible on the surface =D 

WAAAAGGGHHHH! (also done some rusty effect on the weapon of the boyz), any suggestion on what color would be nice on Ork hair? Was intended to go for red, but realized that there is too much red on the boyz already, so I just go for Khaki and heavy wash it with Devlan.

This will be the boy that "face" the audience on the diorama, so I did some bling on it's feature... the weapons is still WIP.

  

 

 

And finished captain Titus, was so afraid to screw up his blue power armor, I repaint it quite alot of time using the game cover as reference... can't really paint it to be 100% the same with the cover but I'm quite pleased with the current outcome... the armor end up to have (just a weeeee bit) of NMM feel on it.. The picture don't quite really capture the feel...

Now, now... 2 more boyz and the whole background base of diorama to go.. might took another week or two... 

Might also pause it to spit out something for Magacon Pewter Demon entry... any suggestion on any 28mm model that look nice to take part in it?

[WIP] Space Marine Captain Titus Diorama

Not much is done this week...

The 'stage' of captain Titus vs the boyz is set on a ... cotton bud box... some pieces of Basilica Terrain is used and a few piece of cork is stacked.

A few boyz is built for this project... prototyped one of the boyz for the color scheme... This is the first Ork that I painted (thought the skin color tone is kinda similar to my plague marine chosen..) Can't really get the checker pattern right... the current color scheme for the cloth does seems abit off too...

Captain Titus is pinned and glued with this poor Ork Nobz, touched up abit on the green stuff part (but it still looks crude!), also sculpted the finger that "touch" the Ork face

A sneak preview on what will the Diorama looks like =p

Captain Titus is primed white so he will looks "shinny" while the Ork will look abit dirty to contrast with him... Will wash to bring up the details on captain Titus... Still having not much idea on the background, was planning to mimic the "white light" effect as the game cover...

Captain Titus and his green friends...

I've abandoned hobby for almost a full month because of him...
Now... I'm gonna Hobby with him...

Yes... the pose does looks... awkward..

I'm trying to poorly imitate the game's cover :

Ok.. I have to admit, my GS skill sucks, big time, but let's hope what I lack in GS, I make up with the paint job

The only good Heretic is a poor Heretic

Bleed dry my heretical wallet, some impulsive conversion and paint job is bound to happen...

And YES! finally there will be hole on my bolters!

Hobby Damage (budget) up to date : RM2400 T___,T (not counting boardgames...)

Forge World Death Guard - Complete.

After lots of distraction, finally completed my last infantry =D (Assuming my current lousy army list doesn't change and I need not to paint my backup infantry model for different weapon loadout or moar dakka)

The second last dude with the "dude, me is pissed, come kiss my chainsword" pose

MY LAST INFANTRY! I choose the only dude with face (my favorite) from forge world death guard piece as my last... spend quite some time to add some extra bling to this fella, triple highlighted all the armor edge =)

Again, play around with some OSL, this time on base, might adopt this technique on the vehicle's search light later....

 As usual, group hug.

Coming up next : gotta spend a week try to sculpt a head for Defiler conversion, but if can't complete it on this week, will prime the chaos land raider black and work on it...

ps: Need 2 moar Rhino, but I'm broke...
