Chaos Space Marine Lord

Aloa,

recently I managed to finish one of my comission pieces:
The Chaos Space Marine Lord from GW's "Dark Vengeance" box.

This was really a very interesting comission as the comissioner told me pretty exactly what colour to use on what area, refering to older figures of mine as examples. This was first, honestly really confusing me, but I told myself to give it a try. For example such were some of his words: "Sword's blade should be like right leg of your daemonette 7.0 and cape exterior like the wings of your Vampire Lord. The base should catch the same athmosphere as the one build for my version of Dark Vlad" and many more, just for you to get a better picture of what I was painting here.


Like I told you, first this was really confusing me, but I accepted the challenge and it was fun going back to my older figures to get the reference on how to paint different areas on the figure. What I can say is that I was confused by another matter: Those CSM have way too many details on such a small figure, I was close to going mad. Well, in the end I was happy with the result, let me know what you think of him...

Keep on happy painting!

    Well done man! I like the play of colors in the upper part (head, shoulders, horns) the most :) I´m happy you have managed the challenge.

  3. one of the nicest grim dark chaos character i have seen in some time and it looks a bit like a sorcerer i have recently done. the armor is great with the differing colors melding into another the cape has nice little details on it as well, which at first the eye doesn't notice. really good 9/10

    Thanks for your feedback. Like you said, maybe those CSM are supposed to drive one crazy :D

  5. That must have been a real challenge, to go back and recreate effects of former miniatures! Looks very well executed. My favourite part is the pattern on the cloak. It's very intriguing, but not completly distracting from the whole miniature. Something that's actually hard to do, finding the balance.

    One other part i like is the Plasmapistol. the Blend from metallic gun to demonic "wet" flesh is working for me. Two thumbs up from me :D
