I continue my embracing of 40K miniatures. Currently, I am working on the Lieutenant Titus from the Space Marine boardgame box.
To make him a Blood Raven I had to scrape away any markings that clearly showed him as being an Ultramarine. The only one I could not remove was the upside-down Omega in the chest piece. Others with better hobby-blade skills might succeed without ruining the figure, but leaving it was a safe choice for me.
That's OK - with my eyes, I can't see it from wargames distance!
I have some finishing work on the bone-colored stuff, the metal bits, and the base obviously.
I may possibly be done before the weekend, although I'm trying not to rush the painting process. A lot of irons in a lot of fires and painting is an opportunity for quiet sanity.!
An excellent looking figure full of energy and power! I wish you and yours a very happy 4th of July John! Enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brad! A happy 4th to you and yours as well!
Deletetoo late... my though tis cut the ends off the "U" and it may just look like an decoration. Hard to tell if that is "easy" or not. I have to get my 'nids and Caiaphus Caine and friends done.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably the best solution, even with my sketchy knife control. My experience removing the symbol from the pauldrons of the infernus in the Space Marine paint set is that the symbols look like thick plastic but come off very easily. Although, that also would imply it's a lot easier to damage the bits you don't want to remove!
