Simply amazing work! Very good colors, I like the way you have used Red on your minis. And the brown clothes really stands out.

 

You have explained how you painted a lot of your colors, but can you explain how do you paint Yellow please?

 

Keep up the good work!

*I bow to your skills*

Ganeos

Ok Ganeos: this the easiest way i found, play with it and get back to me. anyways; here goes, like i said earlier-use white undercoat when you want a bright color. such as yellows or reds. after your white undercoat is dry ink the armor with yellow. the ink sticks to it perfectly. after that coat drys, put another coat of yellow ink on and let dry. it makes a difference, believe me. then i put a coat of golden yellow. gy is your base coat. then i highlight it with sunburst and then bad moon. with these highlights you can paint them on or drybrush them. you will have to play with it alittle because it is hard to see your highlights if you only put one coat of each. you might have to go over them a couple of time. then for my final highlight i mix bad moon and white together (50/50) and line the tips of my highlighted spots to bring everything out. now to tell you the truth, this not exactly how i did the fire lord. and i'll tell you another truth=i can't really remember how i did his yellow. i think my first or base coat was a mix between golden and desert yellow. i only used a little of the desert to darken up golden. now after i highlighted everything i think i mix yellow ink and a very little bit of black ink to line his armor. and i think i did do a final highlight of white. like i said you would have to play with it all a little to get it the way you like it, but that is the basic way that i do my yellow.

Hey all, i know it's been a while but i will be putting up a lot of pics here soon. the question i have is that i am getting this army ready for a gt. now i hear that the gt are canceled this year. has anyone hear anything about this and if so what about next year. the way i paint i prob wouldn't make it this year, but i was wondering what the deal was.

thanks all

pic update: i will be posting my dread, marshal, chap, finished assault squad, and pics of my next two squads that im working on

and also, would you want a 15 man squad " troops " and a landraider or a 6 man termy squad and a 10 man squad " troops " in a rhino

the question i have is that i am getting this army ready for a gt. now i hear that the gt are canceled this year. has anyone hear anything about this and if so what about next year.

Definately cancelled in the US this year. Next year's status is unknown.

 

That's a very nice black over black technique, by the way. I'll have to give it a try as black perplexes me beyond belief.

Is this done with a combination of dry brushing and edge highlighting?

yes. i do alittle drybrushing on the first two highlights then i start edging. then i go back with black ink to clean up my lines and some of the dry brushing. just deepens the black alittle.

 

oh, thanks for the feed back on the gts. well i just have alittle more time then. boy do i need it. i don't even know if i know how to play the game any more.

 

thanks again

ill get some more up as soon as i can

:P me, your work is amazing! I think i've found my new source of inspiration to paint my Templars B)

 

Also is there any chance you could enlighten me on how you did your highlights on black so effectivley? I'm still lost on a decent method for highlighting Black Templar (so far i've just lined with Fenris Grey, looks kinda boring though) thanks!

I don't know how I missed this thread before, awesome painting.

 

Only minor quibble/critique I have is the green purity seals on the assult marine, kinda clashes with the rest of the mini as green doesn't appear in the rest of the pallete.

 

Great job so far, I like the look of darker robes and tabards you use.

Man I really really like the whole look. I am a little disappointed that Bolter and Chainsword hasnt jumped on this thread more. I mean look at sugar-free's work. His painting style of inking a white model first and then doing selective dry brushing is very unique. Many top painters dont like dry brushing and bash it, but if used like this with some blending I think the work we see here tells a different story. I love the picture in the backround where you can kinda of see the rest of the army. I think if an army like this hits the table it will win best painted time and time again.
