So, the initial Brotherhood models are done! I'm sure I'll tinker with them here and there, especially the checkers on the Storm Shield, but by and large I'm happy with them.
Now to build the army!
Note the obvious change is the addition of Space Wolves Gray for the shoulder pads. It helps the Counts-As, making it more obvious what Codex this army will use, but it also adds a neutral color with which to play off of. This was the change most recommended, to break up the metal, and I appreciate everyone's input.

| The Nurglesque Brotherhood Marine is the last of the bunch. With all the patron models, I tried to make the influence subtle rather than overdone. With the obvious exception of the Tzeentch Horror Marine, this is the most obvious. The withered arm (you don't really go blind...) and the bleeding Mark don't leave much doubt. |

| Added in the hopes one of these pictures turned out okay. The checkers on the Storm Shield weren't as easy to do freehand as I thought. I'm not sure if I should mess with it more or not - I can see myself making it worse. |
I'm liking the addition of the SW Gray, seems to tie them together nicely.
ReplyDeleteI think the checks on the SS look good, but maybe too clean. Some battle damage and a Nurgle wash...that sounds nice.
They look great. I agree on the cleanliness of the shield though. It's very shiny considering everything else around him is rotting or Chaos-tainted.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'll never understand how you guys do that. The whole "I'll just add blue to the shoulder pads and it'll look amazing" thing baffles me. You artistic folks are a shifty lot.
