Octavian lars comes to life

[RobSkib]

There we go!

I like the eisenhorn conversion, I don't think I've seen Damian's head used on eisenhorn's body before. Simple, but very effective. I look forward to seeing what you do with the paint scheme!

I can't really comment on the second chap though, the picture isn't clear enough You should try using the Macro mode on your camera (they all have one, it's the little symbol of a flower), balancing your camera on top of something (I use GW spray paint lid with a blob of bluetack, every household has those items!) and using a timer function to eliminate camera shake. Placing the models against a backdrop of a plain white piece of paper helps the camera to focus on the model, rather than something in the background.

Marco wrote a nice guide on taking photos of minis, but I can't seem to find it. I'm sure he'll come along and enlighten us...

y'know Bloodhound is a fairly unpopular head round these parts - but it works surprisingly well on the Eisenhorn body.

Here.

I've just petitioned to have it added as a link in the Modelling resources thread, so hopefully it should be easier to find in future.

A very ineresting project so far. What colors do you plan to use?

[judge-minos]

I like the model but I might think that Damien face looks a little too young to be an Inquiistor face.

I believe is all due to the wierd open mouth and weak chin

Sorry if this is deemed threadomancy, but Octavian Lars is now fully painted and based. Pics will go up when they get uploaded as a matter of priority

This is your first 54mm model, right?
Good stuff.

I like the colour scheme - steers well clear of clown-like colour without being drab, and in nicely traditional shades.

Do you have a finer brush for the decals and insignia and such?
The aquila on the coat lining look good, but the ][ could do with a little cleaning up - practice and a finer brush will sort that out no problem.

I've never seen the Bloodhound head with a moustache, as far as I can recall. Or it might just be shadow, I guess.
But if it is a moustache, good call - I think it does a bit of work to make the Damien head look less goofy, since it's otherwise a clearly young face with aforementioned gaping gob and no chin.

A promising start.

[MarcoSkoll]

Not a bad start.

One thing is that the pupil/iris is too rather small a dot, so it's showing a lot of eye white around it.
And lots of white visible around the eye only really happens when the eyes are wide from shock. Combine that with the appearance of shrunken pupils, and it looks like he's a little more terrified by whatever he's looking at than an Inquisitor really should be.

[Inquisitor Octavian Lars]

@ TheNephew: Yes, it is my first 54mm and the shadow meant to be a mustache, but then he was meant to be a youthful inquisitor.
@Marco: It had been done with a micron pen, but has now been fixed.
@all: I will be in GW aberdeen tomorrow if anyone wants a game (I also will have 1K tau).

[Inquisitor Octavian Lars]

Here is an enemy of Octavian that belongs to my friend even though I did most of the work.



Unforutunately, during transit somewhere, 2 of my PDF (includig thomas Grant) and OL+Carter were all badly chipped.

[Dolnikan]

That's a real creep, what kind of person is he?

[Inquisitor Octavian Lars]

drug addict/ dealer, the mask is his inhaler. He's quite an unstable gunslinger (probably the reason that during 1 game, the mortar he was operating exploded)

[Dolnikan]

Seeing him it makes sense that the thing exploded, he looks a bit light on rationality.

Got Damien1427 in the post today and have assembled him as Greengo R268. Now also undercoated and ready for painting.
