Arch«•»Angel Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 my jaw has dropped and i cant find it. how many tanks are there?? O.o i would probably die of boredom if i was to paint that many tanks. mostly cuz i lose motivation in minisreally fast and fall inlove with other minis really fast. btw, really looking forward to this army's results. im sure your uber skills will kick arse with an awesome paint job as your other stuff does as well.

Starks333 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 :rolleyes::O:O YOU RUINED MY SUPRISE!!!! :P hahaha some more progress: first i took the rhinos hatches and scrapped some of the salt off, as ive decided to put an image on it and i didnt want that much wear and tear...so when i spray over it the red will be coated while the remaining salt does its duty http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/warseer%20log/100_4874.jpg i made a stencil out of plasticard: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/warseer%20log/100_4875.jpg and for the other rhino i drew on the symbol, masked around it(then after i put tape to finish it off) http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/warseer%20log/100_4871.jpg and heres the after airbrushing versions of the hatches(note water still hasnt dried off them so the colours may look uneven): http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/warseer%20log/100_4877.jpg I still need to do more work on everything, but the airbrushing is complete heres two images of the vehicles with the salt removed! http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Star...nt=100_4878.jpg http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Star...nt=100_4879.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/#findComment-1563349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wulfgarr Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Really great looking army so far.I think the best feature is your weathering technique,just awesome.Cant wait to see more.You just dont see enough Crimson Fists armies around.

Starks333 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 heres a comparison shot just to put it into better perspective: the entire colour has been tinted, and the red toned down :) http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/warseer%20log/100_4881.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/#findComment-1563571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucrosium Malice Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I had found a tutorial online somewhere that used salt like this to show rust underneath and for life of me I can't remember where I found it or who did it. I just remember they were using Warmachine to explain the process. Your technique is what they explained and I remember how to do it, I just wished I had linked the site so I return now and then for inspiration and whatnot. They look awesome Starks, I like the darker one over the red though. As soon as my forge world bits arrive I intend on starting my Nurgle boys using this very same technique to show old outdated and tore up looking armor. Keep it up and keep up the posts!

medusa_ritchie Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I was just wondering how the salt is applied so that you can remove it again? Is it just pva glue or something else? Its all looking nice so far. Medusa Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/#findComment-1563594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucrosium Malice Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Usually just water Medusa. From what I remember, paint the undercoat, give it a light seal, add water where you want the salt, let it dry, then do the actual undercoat, scrape off salt when paint is dry. Something like that.

Starks333 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 future floor wax+water i brush it on, then sprinkle on salt....some people use water mixed with salt...but even with the future my airbrush blows some off so im hesitant to use less stickyness :P oh and run it under warm water while you rub off, makes it easier i will also tyr another technique later that involves alchohol and hair spray....and i may use the liquid mask on another one just to see the difference Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/#findComment-1563600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I was a little dubious at first, but now it's been toned down, it's very striking. Of course, I'd prefer to see rusty-as-hell tanks in Imperial Guard armies, but it does a good job of showcasing the desperation of the Crimson Fists in the days of the Rynn's World war. It certainly seems to be shaping up to be a very cool, very evocative force. Looking forward to seeing more!

medusa_ritchie Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 And i also wondered how the tinting in the comparison picture is achieved? Is it more airbrushing or something else? I have basecoated rhino that is just itching for some salt now :) Medusa Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/#findComment-1563725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 I applied some thin washes of my dark brown colour(that i used for the bases on all the marines) real thin multiple layers I then layered on pigments....as tanks get very dirty very fast...so i just used a variety of pigment colours applied in a couple doses with a nice big drybrush i used a certain colour to exentuate the muddy washes...and then i used another colour to drybrush most of the untouched parts to coat them, since i wanted them to be dirtied :)...no water in the pigments, i only did that when i was using them as colour and not the dry dust texture Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/#findComment-1563730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucrosium Malice Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 AHA! I did a lot of web searching and I found the tutorial talking about using the salt, its done by Brushthralls.com, under their tutorial > painting techniques > battle damage II. What Starks has is awesome looking! But this will show a similar approach to what Starks has achieved. Its sort of like Photoshop, several different ways to do the same thing and achieve similar results. Keep up the good work Starks, looking forward to seeing the finished versions! Plus its cool seeing people attempting different approaches to weathering/battle damage. I know I would be petrified doing this for the first time. Especially with the cost of the new miniatures.

Lord Wartooth Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 You mentioned airbrushing. What paints do you use? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/#findComment-1565140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 GW paints thinned(40:60ish) with a mix of windex/water(50:50)..... regal blue and red gore, same as my army I also used a P3 paint...and for those who didnt believe me that P3 whites(morrow and menoth white highlight) have larger pigments, put them through an airbrush and you may think twice :P Airbrush isnt really faster per se, but it allows me to use the salt trick, a brush would just knock most of the salt off, or wouldnt apply as evenly(liquid mask+brush works however) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/#findComment-1565446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 yaaay more action heres 3 tanks after highlights and washes of the dark brown: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/warseer%20log/100_4885.jpg and heres the rest with finished pigments(well i still need to pick out some details in other colours and then weather them...so not 100% finished): http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/warseer%20log/100_4886.jpg theres still more weathering planned...i want "mud"...and i need to figure out the oil washes...i used dark greys to make it look like the soot from the exhausts had run down the sides, but im not sure if i wanna continue that or try something else Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/#findComment-1565649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
