Title: Dolnikan's 28mm models
Post by: Dolnikan on May 28, 2012, 01:50:45 PM
At long last I have managed to figure out how a camera works. This means that now I can upload some pictures. Please comment, I know that I have much to improve.

First of all, interrogator Oblomow:

And his assistant Vindratan

I am loving the ginger top and Rasta priest looks! Only comment would be,  oblomow is a little dark and needs basing, but good work!

Thanks, they still have to be based but I'm not sure yet about what I will do. Perhaps something like my girlfriend's warband uses, or maybe I will go for a concrete look.

This is what my girlfriend uses on her warband, this here is Rogue Trader Aurelia Flavia Vipsanius.

Very nice start on INQ28, Dolnikan! Glad to see you broadening your horizons  ;)

I like the interrogator, but he is indeed a little dark. However, his clothes are very fitting for his position, so I would maybe try doing something to his base to balance him out visually.

The henchman is a good choice! Mordheim models always add instant win to anything  ;D

I think the Rogue Trader needs some detail on the front of her dress - preferably something to "40kify" her a bit. And maybe a Servo Skull assistant hovering over her shoulder?!

Very interested to see where this is going!

Thank you, INQ28 is actually the only scale I play because I haven;t yet got my hands on any larger models. These models were painted quite a while back but as they are the ones that I used most recently I thought that I should post them up. The bases will probably be a bit brighter than the models, either grey concrete or marble tiles, or perhaps something else of course.

My girlfriend painted the rogue trader that way because she likes a bit of simplicity on that model, she is usually surrounded by all sorts of 40k-like things, such as the servo skulls, cherubs and servitors. Some of her other models are:

Her bodyguard, Mitrofan Orzhov

One of her servitors, Castigator XXVI

I have taken another few photos, this time of inquisitor Khar in power armour and father Piclas, I am still trying to get the hang of the camera, it takes a lot of attempts to get any useful pictures. I painted these myself unlike the rogue trader's warband which was done by my girlfriend, I hope that these are any good, they are abit more recent than Oblomow and Vindratan.

That's one hell of a hammer head on Khar.

I'd probably suggest look at using some washes to help give a bit more depth on especially the reds as they're very bright, but don't look like they have as natural a feel as you could get.    How are you planning on basing them?

While building the hammer I didn't notice the size of the thing yet, but later on, after it was finished it was a bit too much for me, but I decided to keep it, explaining it with the powerful servo-motors in the armour. I never noticed that I had forgotten all about the washes and will correct that when I get some time to paint.

I don;t yet know how I will base them and am open for all kinds of suggestions.

This is the arco-flaggelant Eusebius 217, he still needs some washes but the base is one of the basing ideas I've had.

the general style of the mini is great, but those sentinel chainblades are massive.

They indeed are a bit on the big size, but when I got those chainblades I had to make use of them. There is a reason why he is bent a bit to the front.
