Nice, is that number related the rock with no indigenous life, LV 426?

Haha yep - I had that movie playing in the background while I was painting.

Got one of the Rogue Trader Pirates done as the second member of the Penal Legion squad. I kinda wish I had done the lines on the moustache tapering more towards the ends as in my head that's how I was going to do it but then for whatever reason I did it the way it's shown here and that's how it stayed.

WTF, those eyes/glasses.
Can we get a view from a slightly different angle?
That looks like sorcery.

 

[angrygriffin]

Haha no it was quite a few tries getting a little brush in there and making it remotely work. It was some white, then some diluted paint in the darker skin tone (I tried the lighter and it didn't look right) and then a dot in the middle... it was a small area to just start over with a coat of white, so I just kept at it until it looked better. I don't have any other pics of him painted - maybe one from before he was painted? You can see it's just a recess:

 

[MichaelStockin]

Ah cool. It is a great job, I did think it was flat and you had painted it to look like a recess, still very very cool though.
Thanks for the reply.

 

[angrygriffin]

That would have been a bit of fun... closest I have come to doing that is this guy!

 

[MichaelStockin]

oooh that is nice, makes me think of the sardaukar from the Lynch version of Dune.

 

[angrygriffin]

Cheers! That's probably one of the minis I have been most pleased about painting - the face-behind-bottle-green-glass look turned out way better than I thought it would.
