Bohun Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hello everyone. I am new one on this forum, although some of you might know me from CoolMiniOrNot site. I am a professional miniature painter and I do it for my living. I'm mostly into World Eaters and Death Guard, but I love the entire 40k Universe! I''ve never been much of a forum guy, but I decided nevertheless to post some stuff here, that I post mostly on Chest of Colors forum. I hope some of you might find it entertaining/inspiring In this thread I'm going to post WIP pictures of a grand project I'm currently working on as a full time commission job. The project consists of building a World Eaters army painted to a top level, consisting exclusively of Forge World models or FW conversion sets Here's the list of what will the army consist of: 5 World Eaters Terminators from a conversion set + Lord of Khorne Zhufor + additional lord converted from Abaddon 1 Khorne Demon Prince + additional Bloodletter Champion from the set 1 World Eaters Dreadnought 1 Blood Slaughterer 1 Brass Scorpion 10 Berserkers from a conversion set 1 Khorne Ogryn Beast Handler + 3 Khorne Hounds Today I'm posting an almost finished Dreadnought (which btw will soon be in my gallery at CMON). It is a good representation of the colorscheme for the entire army and the way I wanted it to look. I really hope you'll like it! Please tell me you oppinions on the subject Regards, Bohun http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/4079/forum121.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204518-world-eaters-army-project-by-bohun/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raye Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Struth! That's epic. Absolutely lovely metallic looking paint there! Can't wait to see the Brass Scorpion!

Odsox Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Ohhhhh, the envy. I bleed. That is gorgeous. He reminds me of the Chaos Dreadnought in DOW 2: Chaos Rising. I can see him standing on his base, roaring "DIE! AS I SHOULD HAVE DIED!" all mental like. Beautiful work. Look forward to seeing more!

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 And they say mini painting isn't art... well nuts to them! Superb mate, literally cannot wait to see the rest.

Chaplain Hiltraud Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 WOW. That is EPIC! Great work, I love how you've paid attention to all the lil details too! (ie the toes gripping the rocks!) And I love the way you've painted the battle damage. I'm inspired. Very menacing looking figure! The Blood God would be proud! (even if he is filthy chaos :) hahaha) I'm looking forward to seeing the whole army! The Blood Slaughterer sounds intriguing...

Chaplain Hiltraud Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 By The Sword of The Emperor! :) I just checked out your gallery! They are all fantastic (minature) pieces of art! Again, the way you do battle damage and all the metals are simply ;) UNREAL. Inspiration plus!!

Bohun Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 You can check the step-by-step tutorial I've done some time ago for Huron Blackheart: http://www.chestofcolors.com/forum/viewtop...f=37&t=5888 I guess it covers the basics of the techniques I use for painting my miniatures, and the most important technique the is imho: GLAZING :( I hope you'll find it helpful!

Flemish Death Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hello Bohun, that dreadnaught is absolutely amazing, you have some great painting skills! How did you achieve those smooth colours?

No airbrush had been used. The smoothness of the blending is achieved using glazing technique with a brush!

Pig Of Sparta Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I think it might be time for me to drop any illusions I have about my own commission work and go back to practicing on my own models again for a while... That's a very nice dreadnought well posed, well based and exceptionally painted. I look forward to seeing what you do with the rest of the army, but I think it's safe to say that they'll look fantastic standing on the table top along side this. Good luck with the rest the minis B) James Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204518-world-eaters-army-project-by-bohun/#findComment-2438994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicar Valius Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Imense, I can really see why you manage to get a livelihood out of minature painting.

sisko11 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Amazing... Haven't seen WE done that nicely since Hudon, fantastic job! Would it be too much trouble for a short tutorial and color recipe for your chipping and scratching technique on the red?

Valkyrion Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Just ridiculous. Sometimes I see other peoples work and it inspires me, other times I see other peoples work and makes me want to throw my minis in the bin screaming 'what's the point!?'. Well done that man.

Bohun Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thank you once more everyone for the great feedback! I really appreciate your comments and I'm glad you like my work :P @cheeseychaoslord: Well, I've been lucky enough to win a few of those some time ago ;) @sisko11: The recipe is very easy. They are all painted with a brush. First you paint those dark spots and lines (it is important to look a lot on real scratches in order to make the shape realistic and not to much over the top). Then you need to paint the middle of the largest spots metallic (like the metal shines through the scratch). I do that in two stages: first a darker metal base and on top of it a small spot of Mithril Silver + a drop of Skull White or even better White Glaze from Vallejo, which is not so strong. It gives the dimensional impression. Finally you underline the scratches with a very thin bright line (red + white) to increase the illusion of a 3rd dimension. Well, that's it. :P If you're interested in the picture of the finished Dreadnought with digital background added, check the following link in my gallery: http://coolminiornot.com/253090 Also some other pictures of my work you might be interested in: Nurgle Dreadnought: http://coolminiornot.com/242060 Black Templars Marshall : http://coolminiornot.com/246272 Eldar Avatar : http://coolminiornot.com/250261 Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut : http://coolminiornot.com/225652 And finally I upload a WIP picture of a leader of my World Eaters Terminator Squad for the army. It is converted from Abaddon the Despoiler with 2 chainaxes from Lord of Khorne Zhufor + his shoulderpads, and arms from plastic Space Marine and another from Zhufor. I hope you'll like it :) http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/1254/forum111.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204518-world-eaters-army-project-by-bohun/#findComment-2439880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
