I despise the metal models, I hate them, I hates them, they burns us precious. because of this fact, I have begun making my very own custom veterans

Here is my first of this line, Brother Engelhart, named after me.

Cool. I like the conversion, but what's with the oddly shaped spear? I don't think he could throw that like a spear.

 

[Engelus]

he doesn't have to throw it, but he can if he wants, are you gonna tell him not to, I''m certainly not.

I'm gonna chain it to his wrist so if he does throw it he can get it back.

 

[homestar]

cool pose. i dont think he'll throw it. its like a halberd or long pike

 

[RedApostle]

well why the hell would he throw it now? ya'll are second guessing him

 

[shhI'MaSPY!]

well why the hell would he throw it now? ya'll are second guessing him

Well its pose is kinda saying "Im gonna shoot ya in the face with my pistol. If that doesn't work, ill just throw this point stick thing atcha"

I really like the freehand templar cross now that I took a second look

 

[Yarrick140]

Don't there spear have bolters mount on them?

Well just all the pictures i have seen are. untill now

 

[Blackhiker]

Great job on the conversion

 

[angels of fire]

That spear isnt a singing spear so it aint gonna come back to him....so why in the name of the emporer would he throw

Great model, and id love to see more, i know exactly what you mean about the metal veteran models, i've played around with my metal models a bit just to make them a little different.

I like the idea of the spear/ pole weapon, It looks good i would have placed it lower or have it placed one end on the ground but thats just me. Its a great idea and looks really in theme with the templars. I also really like the cross on his chest very nice.

Keep up the good work and im looking forward to seeing more.k:

looks sweet

Nice work, conversion is cool. I would seriously suggest some highlights with dark to light greys on the black armour however.

 

[Damned Fist]

No complaints or suggestions here..., I like it. Job well done! Keep it up bud.:grin:

 

[Engelus]

actually, the model is highlighted quite extremely with severe drybrushing of a mix of chaos black and astronomicon grey.

the photo loses all that, I still havn't figured out how to photo models well.

Engelus: The tutorial on photographing mini's in this forum is very helpful in this regard. It made a world of difference for me.:grin:

oh thanks.

I never use a flash, I always use external lighting, I think the problem is that in my small apartment I never really have a good place to take photos. I don't have a room that has a lot of light.

It looks like external bounced flash is best as you don't get many intense specular highlights and the ambient occlusion still functions and provides a profound influence on the model.
