For this week's hobby Sunday, I managed to complete the first of my Genestealers Cult Scout Sentinels.
I quite like the yellow coloured scheme for the Sentinel. I plan to do my other two Sentinels in the same scheme. I got the crew member painted up and glued into the cockpit.
I also managed to magnetise the different weapons options for the Sentinel, allowing me to try them out in my games.
With that, another step towards completing my hobby challenge is done.
Good work as usual, but I have a recommendation. The searchlight is letting you down - it's too similar to the robe robes at the moment, and it's quite a prominent piece. The shadows need to be a little deeper and adding a highlight on there will sell the effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice, I think you are right. I'm currently in the process of painting up the other two, so will look at it again when I get to that point in the others.
DeleteMichael, reminiscent of the Aliens Cargo Hauler, go back and blacken the inside of the drilled barrels tho. Nice driver conversion, sweet. I’m working on some Infected Guard at the mo... Neophyte Hybrids.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting about blackening up the barrels on my guns.
DeleteSentinels look good, i like the yellow as it does have that "civilian" look to them. Only thing is scouts can't take plasma cannons, it's annoying, as i don't see why they sent allowed but i suppose it's just something extra for armoured Sentinels.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know about the Plasma Cannons. Not too sure I'd take them that often, but painted them up anyway. I can just say they are armoured sentinels to use them in games.
DeleteLooking good mate, can I suggest blues for the spotlight? Gw blues lend themselves to a quite vivid scheme and I think it would go well against the yellow/orange
ReplyDeleteThat may work too. I was going with the orange to unify the scheme with my army, but the blue works too to go with the Genestealers.
DeleteBlue spotlight will help I think, doesn't need OSL but the spot colour will help. The yellow power lifter look works out well.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the orange is too similar to the yellow to have much impact.
DeleteSweet! I really love the driver conversion. I will toss my lot in with Dave Kelly's comment on the spotlight. The combo of orange on plasma, spotlight and robes especial took me away from the overall great appearance of the work. I'll admit to being brainwashed on blue spotlights and blue plasma though. It's still great to see you trying alternatives there to break the expect look. The cult is coming out really good for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much a little body and head swap can add to a model. I'll probably repaint the lights blue. I couldn't paint them yellow to match the rest of the force, they just wouldn't stand out from the hull.
DeleteI think I'll add another unit of Purestrains, Neophytes and a second Rockgrinder to allow me to fill out a Brigade. After that, I think I'll be pretty much done with them.
