Possessed Cadian Colonel
Here is my first miniature that I'll be posting on CMoN! My name is Kristian, I'm 17 years old and I come from Finland. The miniature was made during this summer (2006), for a Finnish painting competition associated with the big roleplaying/miniature/cardgame etc. convention called RoPeCon. Luckily enough, I won the Sci-Fi category and the Overall prize. Im quite happy with it even though I know that it lacks some finishing touches. Oh well, I think you fellow hobbyists know what its like to be finishing a somewhat complicated/detailed miniature just a couple of hours before the competition starts! I got the idea from looking at the beautiful nurgle influenced miniatures by artists as Allan C. and Automaton. I went for a simple but hitting conversion by swapping the Lord of Nurgle to a Cadian Colonel. Then i came up with a very monochromatic colour scheme; that is highlighting different shades of grey to different shades of grey(!) and bringing the highlights to pure white at most places. I shaded it with with various inks and paints. The photos aren't as good as they should be. I apologize. Thank you (everybody) for inspiration. Greetings to fellow winners at RoPeCon.
