Description
This is a model of a Space Marine 'Vindicator' that I'm building for a Warhammer 40,000 animation. It's still very much a work in progress but since this is the first major custom texturing job I've done in max I thought I'd show you what I've done so far so that you can tell me wether or not you think I'm heading in the right direction. The look I'm going for is a really dirty, rusty, beaten-up kind of thing.
I've included a copy of the reference photo that I've been using for both modelling and texturing so you can see what it's supposed to look like. Cheers.

The model looks great...but do you think you could pick a more manly Chapter? Like Dark Angels or Black Templars.... Ultramarines are just too ... well... you know, and jaded.

Just b/c they are the standard Marines w/ few to no special rules and are by far the most common examples doesn't mean they are so less manly. As long as it looks like a war-ravaged vehicle and it has a decent finish it is OK by me.

Thanks for the comments guys. I chose the Ultramarines colours for this because the first miniatures I ever painted were a squad of Ultramarines and I thought it only fitting to use the same colours for my first W40K CG model. In the animation however, the Dark Angels are going to blow the p**s out of them...
