Hi all,

This is one of two projects I've been working on for this year's GDUK. You'll recognise the pose from the Blood Raven Commander I did a while back which was the test piece for this guy. He is Captain Antonius Vicenzi (not Vincenti as some people have pointed out the similarity ) of the 9th Blood Angel Company. Sadly he didn't place but I got a shiny pin for him which I am pleased about, at least I know I am going in the right direction

As always all comments welcome!

Wil

really an excellent mini overall, the only bugbear for me is the neck...it looks 'stuck-on' and unnatural...

Awesome! I love everything about this mini. The custom work on the figure, and the fact that you used real metallics on it!!! VIVA METALLICS!!! Excellent work!!

Hi S4mmy.d I used one of the Space Marine MKII Veterans for the torso and legs. Removed some details like the centre of the chest eagle and some small details on his sword scabbard and replaced them with greenstuff blood droplets. The head is from the blood angel apothecary Brother Corbulo. I took his winged blood droplet belt buckle thingy from Captain Tycho (with a lot of sawing and cutting lol). The back pack is a Black Templar backpack with the symbol removed and a blood greenstuff droplet put in its place. Cheers Wil

Cool model! Classical pose, painting in style of EM. I love how the gold turned out. Solid job on the freehand pattern. Cheers, Szary.

Yeah I clipped the neck down from the Master of the Fleet model quite a bit when I did mine. The necks on the current metal Marines are all a bit long, and the proportions are thrown a bit off if you don't adjust. Still, it was probably damn close and your other entries did very well so you have lots to be proud of

Yeah I showed a couple of mates a couple of weeks before the comp. and they pointed out the neck But I was already 3/4 through painting and I still had my duel entry to paint so it was too late to adjust, just had to carry on and hope for the best lol I used the Master of the Fleet head as reference but looking back I should have sunk the head a bit more. The Torso and legs are part of the same original mini, it is one of the MKII Space Marines Veterans. Thanks for all comments
