Mmmm not an easy one to solve for the reasons you've given Meph. Have you considered just having the background part of the two shoulder pads as white? That would limit the amount of white on the mini as you want, plus would make the scultped details on those pads pop a bit more, and also not be duplicating yourself, given you already did the colour arm scheme on the Librarian. Perhaps a central stripe on the helmet in white also?
-
Hmmmm... not bad, not bad. That's definitely something to contemplate, but it'd be tiny white bits though. the detailing takes up most of the space, and that'll be gold/bronze.
I was kinda thinking to make the shoulder pad rims white, and the nartheticum on his forearm. But I like the idea of a stripe. Actually, the helmet does have an 'X' of the forehead (it's a death company helmet by origin), I can make the 'X' white.
-
Ohh yeah the rims would work better, with the narthecium too (glad you can remember the name of that thing, I always forget it and just call it a chain gauntlet cos 40k has chain everything else). White narthecium works well, as that'd make the helix symbol on it stand out really well.
-
White details it will be. :) Especially now with some paint on it became clear that that's the right way to go.
Sadly, progress hasn't been as swift as intended due to an injury of my right arm preventing me from doing long painting sessions. But hey, bit by bit, that's my motto.
The red's on and the robe's been done. Time for blacking out the details! Luckily it's not a whole squad, so the tedious bit won't be long, yay.
Also, the keen eye may spot that it's not the default backpack for the mini. The reason for that is quite simple; haste. In my unbridled enthusiasm to get this mini going I glued the magnet in the wrong way, doh! Luckily, a normal backpack, a Dark Angel termy command squad bit, a file, and some greenstuff later I've got a worthy alternative.

Onwards!

would it not make more sense to only use one magnet and a washer so it doesn't matter which way up you glue the magnet?
-
Why yes, yes it would. *cough*
Note to self: stop by a DIY store asap.

Anxious to see where you're going with the blue dress (Not my choice) but who's to argue with the perfection so far :thumbs: What's with the multi focus images!!!:eek: What a great effect!
-
Hehehe, a Librarian string onto the battlefield with that soundtrack, that would be a sight to see! :D
This marine's frock is green my friend, green!
The multi focus pics are an experiment with my new Lytro camera. Neat little thing that use a 'light field' to capture images, rather than one light receptor as with traditional digital cameras. Concretely this means that instead of capturing light on a single point, you capture light on a battery of 128 nano cameras. the excess of visual information allows for dynamic changes in focus and angle àfter the photo has been captured. neat stuff, although this 1st gen camera need very decent lighting in order to make nice shots. No doubt it's larger 2nd gen brother makes better photos but it's also a lot more expensive. I bought my 1st gen camera off of amazon for 137EUR.

Also, cannot be unseen; the back of the backpack looks like Batman playing a pan flute.

"Holy woodwinds, Batman!"
"Yes Robin. By blowing the proper combination and series of notes, we can not only save our Battle Bothers grievous wounds, but may also find the cure for the Red Curse!"

^LMAO :D
Here's the wip so far, the secondary colours are not finished yet. Not all of them are on either but at least it gives a good impression of the final look.
