| Banished-Enclaves |  Paint Threat January 2014 - Commander Brightsword Completed |
 Member Since: December 9, 2013  RK: 1 MP: 0   | Wednesday January 8, 2014 4:45 AM Since I'm late to getting my paint threat locked in (due to only arriving home after a trip to Adelaide yesterday) I decided I would spend last night and today making some progress so I had something to show. For this month I have decided to convert and paint the second member of Farsight's retinue, Commander Brightsword with his two fusion blades. I thought the XV84 Crisis Battlesuit kit from Forgeworld would help to make this commander stand out. This XV84 model has a large array of sensors protruding out from the back of the suit and could be used for The Advanced Targeting Systems listed in Commander Brightswords wargear. The right shoulder pad was taken from XV81 Crisis Battlesuit kit, The Tau symbol was filed down, replaced with The Farsight Enclaves symbol instead. Lastly I loved the Arms of the Forgeworld suits and their inbuilt weapons, I added to this two flame components found in the Warhammer Empire Battle Wizards box set. These flames are my take on the Fusion Blades, this conversion Idea is based on the fluffy description of the fusion blades. This model has been given a dynamic pose, landing after descending from the stars and about to strike down his enemies. The flames have been angled in the direction the arm is travailing to create the illusion of movement and direction. Accompanying This is the base I have made, the city fight theme has been continued. A space marine armed with a power fist lays buried under some rubble, his sacred banner has been desecrated my the continued firepower of the Tau. Here are the pictures of my progress so far:         [[Edited by Banished-Enclaves on Sunday January 19, 2014 11:37 PM]] |

Member Since: December 9, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Wednesday January 15, 2014 8:16 AM Just a Quick update this one.First off thank you all for your kind words on the progress of the miniature so far. Its been a real battle to get time to add some more paint to this guy, there is still a long way to go but I feel I should get Commander Brightsword done in time! So far I have basically finished the base, all that is left to do is paint the rim of the base black and glue on the grass tufts. On commander Brightsword himself I have got the Nuln oil wash down, and then most of the base colours applied. All the detailing is still to come and I am looking forward to painting those Fusion blades! There is also quite a few lenses to paint on this one too. Does anyone have any links to a good tutorial on painting blue flames? Anyway here are some of the pictures of my progress so far:          |

Member Since: December 9, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Wednesday January 15, 2014 6:37 PM Thanks all once again for your kind words, it really pushes me on. I am planning to get a bit more done today before work and over the weekend so look out for new pictures on the monday!I have previously painted one model in this scheme if your interested?Ob'lotai 9-0 and his two missile drones The red will hopefully turn out to look much the same as this. Are you painting a Farsight Enclaves army? or just using these colours for your own Sept? |
