Warhammer 40k: Primaris Chaplain Fan Art
Another Warhammer 40k fan art, this time is the Primaris Chaplain. I've always love the design of the Space Marine Chaplains especially their iconic skull helmet and even more so of the Primaris version with their hood and so I really enjoyed modelling and texturing the chaplain. Compared to the previous Space Marine model, there are alot more details and accessories for the Chaplain as befits their role in a Space Marine Chapter. For the pose and texture, the main reference were from the official Games Workshop Primaris Chaplain model.

For the Crozius Arcanum (The staff with the skull), which is the primary badge of office for a chaplain, I elected to modelled out the patterns on the staff instead of using textures as I was learning and experimenting with modelling patterns in Maya.

The Absolvor Bolt Pistol and the Crozius Arcanum in Substance 3D Painter. I might not be an expert in the design behind the weapons but I love how the receiver of the Absolvor Bolt Pistol has an asymmetric design.
