CSM: Skull Champion

Subject: CSM: Skull Champion Wed Dec 02, 2009 4:29 pm

Well, I have finally recieved the pics from Mordheimer for my Skull Champion. This guy will be my Leader for the upcoming Chaos Cultist squad. I tried a different technique for painting the red gore on him. I tried what is called wet blending, which is where you place a blob of dark colored paint and then a blob of brighter paint and then work them towards each other creating a blending effect. So without further ado here it is!!!

The model is awesome! The photos (like always) never do real justice to the real thing... the blending is very delicate and subtle. Great model man! Thanks! bounce

WTF?!? You mean I have to give it back???? Evil or Very Mad

[mumbles] I hate you...[/mumbles]

What mold line <focuses inwards, and waves hands in mudboys direction> you do not see any mold lines. This model is mold line free.

In all seriousness yes you do see a mold line. The reasons are thus: 1) the model is metal 2) I don't own a dremel so I had to remove all the mold lines with a file 3) I got so tired of jabbing myself with the Evil or Very Mad

exacto knife and file that I gave up on both of them. Those two were the worst to remove.

Yes! I see mould lines! And I feel your pain about files and exo-knifes

Very nice & can't wait to see the rest of your Squad.

You liked Dozer's Champion? Check out Dozer's Imperial Renegades. His paint job is VERY cool... it seems like a simple scheme, but there is LOTS of blending. Truly magnificent.
