Hi all, thought I wanted to share my latest showcase project with you all
The kit in question is this http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/ABADDON_AND_LOKEN.html which depicts the battle between Ezekyle Abaddon, 1st captain of the Sons of Horus and 10th captain Garviel Loken from the Horus Heresy part of the background for the Warhammer 40,000 universe, also referred to as 30K or HH (Horus Heresy)
The kit is awesome to say the least and I plan to enter it into a national painting competition in mid April.
I've dubbed my take on the kit "Pride and Hate" as that is the essence of the scene and it seems fitting.
On to the models:
Here's the first WIP picture of what I'm going with, a more stylized version of the base included.
In colour.
And then in black and white to give a more unified feeling of what it looks like.
I started on one of the 2 models that will be the real centerpiece of this.
Ezekyle Abaddon WIP:
Head before OSL.
And after OSL.
I've been working with a polished black sheen for his armour, so I tried tackling the black in a completely new way to what I would have done in the past, it's hard to see here, but I'll go into greater detail when I get a bit longer in the process and can take some pictures that really shows off the work on the black.
I also need to tidy up some of the extreme edge highlights.
The head has been treated to some under lit OSL (Object Source Lighting) to give him a bit of a looming look, but I didn't want to overdo it as I think it tends to look cartoonish if his gorget is glowing like a big light bulb. I'm really pleased with how it turned out so far.
More updates will follow soon
