Popular Post Stern Kestrelmann Posted February 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) I completed this model a couple of weeks ago. It is a Forgeworld model from the Horus Heresy Special Characters line of models. What a kit! It came with an elaborate base, but I elected to forego this as I will be adding this to small diorama that will include Roboute's honor guard. The model was very challenging and tricky to assemble. I painted it in six sub-assembly sections, then pinned and glued it together as a final step. Tons of low relief detail on this sculpt, so getting the paint where you wanted it to go was tough.

KruleBear Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Nice. i like the less saturated colors you used instead of the typical bright blue Ultramarines we usually see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmeer Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Excellent work. I love your paint scheme for your Ultramarines. The lighter, desaturated tones really feel worn, even in relatively undamaged armor. It works really well, and I am extremely jealous of that face. Great work!

Glitterwolf Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Excellent, I agree on the colours, so much better than the GW style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stern Kestrelmann Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks you guys... Yeah, I committed to painting my UMs in this color/ style in 2010-11, so I've stuck with it for continuity purposes. Additionally, I have not used any metallic paints since 2004-05, so it takes me a long time to do any gold, steel, or bronze. Moreover, the armor on my UMs lack battle damage, scoring, or dirtiness (which I've always wanted to try). Still, it's a 5-6 layer process that takes forever! Maybe it's time to start painting some fantasy models again. Search you feelings Stern, you know it to be true... SK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
