Corax_rg Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey, have you thought about messing around on the painters? Might help you alot, but if you keep changing your mind, pick the first one you like and dont look back or go near the painters untill half your minis are done. That way you wont want to start again :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/127972-my-work-in-progress-army/page/2/#findComment-1481173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Dragon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey I had a little go on the painter,using your paint scheme but changing it with GW colours and heres what i came up with. http://bolterandchainsword.com/csms.php?bp...;gr=65B345& Im not sure whether it will look as nice as the picture,because of my painting skills but ill give it a go.

Pandora Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 If you want a brighter red, you might want to try starting off from a base coat of white, red gore, and blood red, with a highlight of blood red + water and an inked in darker red, not sure on what GW inks are called though. But that's just a rough guide. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/127972-my-work-in-progress-army/page/2/#findComment-1481220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Dragon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey The GW blood red is actually brighter than the one on the painter anyway,and even if it isnt i really like that tone,it fits my fluff of time being tired and exhausted and there armours rusting and paints fading away. Thanks for the tips thought mate :D From The Red Dragon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/127972-my-work-in-progress-army/page/2/#findComment-1481222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguelord Baldric Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The way I chose the paint schemes for my armies was to go to my local hobby shop, look at the available paints and grab the colour I liked most. After that, I just held it up against every other colour there and set aside any that looked really good next to it. I had a look at all the paints set aside and decided which of those would go best with the initial colour and that gave me my two basic colours for my army. Next, I looked for a metal that went well with the two base colours. That gave me a complete colour scheme. Hope this idea might help you in selecting a colour scheme if the other ideas don't.

Ive now decided im definatlly making my own possesed and spawn.I just hope they come out half as good as yours. From The Red Dragon I started off with a base primer black. 1. Tanned Flesh 2. Flesh Wash 3. Spacewolf grey (dry-brush) you can get the possessed at yout local GW store or type 40k possessed into the ebay search and there you have it.

Headhunter Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Also I noticed some of your pics (progress is good) however if you want these on the table top you might need to know (if noone has already pointed this out) but some of those weapons are 2 handed weapons. I noticed in some of the pics you have 2 2 handed weapons on one guy. You might wanna look into that. Typically these are 2 handed weapons Flamer Melta Plasma Gun LasCannon Missle launcher even a Bolt Gun Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/127972-my-work-in-progress-army/page/2/#findComment-1481278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Dragon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey I know about that,i just really like the way they look and one of them has a reason for having a plasma gun and plasma pistol(which will become apparent when i make his base.) The main reason they have weird weapons is really a lack of parts of which to give them acceptable weaponry.

Red-Dragon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey Im working on the painting of the marines atm,im starting with Chaos Black undercoat,then a few layers of Khemri Brown to make it easier to paint the Blood Red Layers.Im not a very good painter but im hoping i can make this look good,im painting it on an SM body for the test marine,it will be harder on a Chaos Marine as the armour is Blood Red but the armour trim is Chaos Black. Thanks for all the help everyone,it means alot to me.

Sgt Stabby Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 once i learn how to drybrush i think that will be the colour for my possesed skin Drybrushing isnt that that hard...heres what you have to do- Firstly lightly dip the brush to pick up a small amount of paint, wipe any excess on a tissue and then brush on a scrap piece of paper until there is very little paint left on the brush (hence the name ‘drybrush’). To apply to the model, lightly brush with long strokes over the model so the paint catches on the raised detail only, repeat this until all detail is picked out. Usually this is done with a lighter colour to that of the model, but not always, you can use a darker colour if that is the effect needed. Also when taking pictures of your models, it may help to use a macro setting and put a piece of white paper behind the model your taking a picture of. Just a couple of tips for you and thats pretty much it :D Im looking foward to seeing how the painted models look -Sgt Stabby Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/127972-my-work-in-progress-army/page/2/#findComment-1482211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Dragon Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hey Ive decided on a new paint scheme which i will start on a test marine with once ive bought mechrite red.

Corax_rg Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think it looks good, but i would try and include the blue colour on the backpack onto the front of the model, perhaps the shoulder pads? Keep up the good work. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/127972-my-work-in-progress-army/page/2/#findComment-1497492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
