Lucrosium Malice Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Oh lordy! Where's the techmarine with the hose, and the servitors with buckets and soap? :P They look great so far Starks! I'm really stoked about seeing them with the details added, since that is what gives them definition. They def. need to get to the car wash!

Ekkanus Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Wow that blue looks pretty sweet! Forgive me if this is a really daft question Starks, but is that blue Blended?

Starks333 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 yes, quick blending, it looks smooth and nice from TT view, but its a bit messier up close...as it takes awhile to blend that kind of contrast smooth, and well i dont want to spend that much time per figure! so as long as you knock down the joint lines, blend it decently well..and have the contrast they look awesome at a decent view(12 inches or so) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/page/2/#findComment-1573412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 These look great Starks, the tactical symbols look nice, with the mud effects over them. Are you shooting for a battle company's worth of marines? That's a lot of tanks, you got there.

Tyrannicide Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Sounds good, what chapter are you planning on doing your bike-themed army as. Will that also be Crimson Fists?

Cpt. Cortez Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I really like the blue, it almost looks like the old RT colour... do you mind giving me a run down on how you did it? i like the old lighter armour from the RT time... i really like your vehicles, its what i wanted mine to look like but theyre not half as good as them!... id fallen into a bit of a deadlock with my fists, but youve re-inspired me to get the brushes out... maybe borrowing some of your teqhniques! :) ;) liam Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/page/2/#findComment-1575703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 the colours are tricky because i pre mixed them a lonnnnnggg time ago, and accidentally came up with them as i had no idea what i was doing when mixing hahah i can do a mini tutorial on them though to show the process, its not very long, will require a bit of practice with glazing however as for the bikes, they will be a "Red Scorpion" look on bikes, instead of feather poles ill design some scorpion tail pole for the bikes...and the main colour is teal, i dont know which bottle colours yet because i have to find and ensure i can obtain more than just the single bottles i have before i delve into an army...

Starks333 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks!, they need something more though, im hoping picking out the coloured details will do it, but they are quite bland currently heres a quick...well not quick video of me painting...it gets cut off, i was 11seconds over PBs limit..grrrr http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Star...nt=100_4945.flv Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/page/2/#findComment-1576402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekkanus Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Typical i really want to see that vid and theres a site maintenance going on!! Oh well i'll have to check it later. Quick question though Starks, i notice you've got paint on your nail there, i've seen pics of people doing blending before and they had the same thing....why is that, is it something to help with the blending? (You can tell i've never blended before in my life!)

Starks333 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 no, generally you wanna avoid oils from your hands getting on models and paints...i dont wipe off much, generally its to show in videos, or i do it a couple times because the paint on my palette is drying up faster due to the heat...so its juts a test to see how thin it is usually Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/page/2/#findComment-1576791 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ein Windir Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hail, Wow.... just wow. I'm speechless about the tanks and troops. Do you think you could make a Tut about the tanks? They looks so realistic.

Starks333 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 its far from actually, the highlights are much more desaturated ill try and show an example pic a bit later on, my camera is gone for a bit im splitting time between assembling/basecoating more marine stuff and working on my display piece both are going well... -need to gap fill the assault marine jump packs then glue them on -pin the chaplain jump pack guy, and then base and prime..basecoat a few parts to allow adding of backpacks and such -paint eagles to allow me to glue guns in place then i believe pretty much all of the troops are good to go, just some FW parts to attach to the tanks and then the land raider to finish, but im,...avoiding that for now ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/page/2/#findComment-1653832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 quick update, will have pics tommorow ive decided to cut down on the amount i have to do, since im selling anyways and would rather spend time on the marine army im actually going to keep(the only army i will have) land raiders both cut, 1 predator, 1 speeder and the razor/whirlwind were all cut, will be selling them off unpainted...trading some for some cargo and scenery stuff for that desert table! two razorback squads are my current work in progress, should have noticeable work done by tomorrow im aiming to just try and shoot through the army, so it wont be anything fancy really...i have some fancier things set aside though, that will be more painted for my enjoyment 10 termies(maybe 14) plus 3 characters 6 command squad esque marines, converted and not following the rules for squad making..just for the hell of it those wont be until after i get the army outta here though Alex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135657-crimson-fists/page/2/#findComment-1661928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
