My hopes to recreate the flame motiff that i did on my test mini back in '06 hasn't exactly come through very well... To make matters worse, the WB icon also looks pretty bad too. What was the lesson learned? Practice BEFORE you do it on a mini. Test mini or not, it would be nice that it doesn't look THAT out of place... However, lesson learned i guess.
On the upside, the modelling aspect seems to be doing alot better. Got the weapons done for WB #2 with a nice wrist mounted bolter (gasp you say!!) while he holds a bolt pistol and chainsword (hey, at least i can safely say i am WYSIWYG'ing). So trying to settle on the armor shade at this point in time, not totally satisfied just yet... However, i'm going to try and get a body to go with those arms and maybe have a ponder of what to do for the next marine! Grief... I hate the new rules sometimes..

a wristmounted bolter..as in not in his hand? Those marines go all out on plastic surgery don't they ;)
Yes wrist mounted meaning that the marine isn't actively holding the bolter.
I'm sure i'll try to get some pics done up this weekend, especially now that i've finished cleaning off the moldlines...

hmm just thought of the wristmounted marine I made..because of the closed fist..it took a bit long to make sense haha.
Yeah i had a thought about it thinking, how would one fire the weapon? But hey, modelling wise it looks good, so why not run with it. It's not like I would make a lot of poses like this. I might even try things like the underslung concept as well. But at least i'm enjoying it *nods*.
