I am really glad I decided to create some candles for the stature. I like imagining imperial citizens scrambling up the ladder in lulls between gun fire to ensure the Astartes are properly worshipped. The ladder is still to be painted, but I left it in the shot because it adds more sense of scale.
Candles:
- Bretonian lances cut to shape
- thread drilled into the top of the candle and inserted as a wick
- white glue used to build up dripping wax areas
- gloss varnish in the paint in order to give a little shine
In the photo above you can see a mattress pushed to the far corner of the Shrine of the Aquila. I am not sure I managed to pull it off, but maybe when I add a make shift table it will work better. The bottom shot has a tea lamp that will be used for destroyed vehicles. I am going to make 5 of them so the battle looks more dynamic as games progress.
Clever! I really like how those candles turned out - good stuff, man!
ReplyDeleteso awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you guys for the encouragement. It is nice getting feedback on this. I am going to upgrade my realm of battle board tonight and place the scenery I have to see how it looks. I really want to get a game in now, though I almost have to paint up some IG vet snipers to hide out in those ruins.
ReplyDeleteSplendid, really splendid!
