azironlegion Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Small update... Got some more work done on the predator. Still waiting on the sponsons for the turret, need to finish edging with gray and clean it up some more but its starting to look like the finished product http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010889.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010892.jpg And heres my fledgling crusade as it sits so far. Hopefully by this time next week It will have doubled.

Solid Zaku Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well, I don't have C&C that would be useful (it would just be the usual 'Dood! Kewl!' drivel that good painter like you expect) but I do have a question: what grey do you use to highlight your BT's? I paint a predominantly black colored army myself, and I was wondering what you use, as those highlights just seem to scream to my tastes.

azironlegion Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Its just codex grey. I was going to use a blue black highlight but I think the grey makes a starker contrast when its on the table.

I'll bet the edging on that tank is more subtle in real-life. The Codex Gray looks fine in real life but with a camera flash it stands out like neon. I don't have a solution to that. Perhaps no flash and with natural lighting?

azironlegion Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well I was able to get another assault marine done. I used shadow grey as a highlight to see what it would look like. Let me know what you guys think, YA or nay http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010921.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010922.jpg I would have finished the last assault marine but some new toys arrived in the mail!

azironlegion Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 OK update time! I dont know how regular my updates will be from here on out. My PC decided it didnt want to boot anymore (not even from my windows cd) so im going to be limited in my pic uploading for a few weeks. but enough of that.. I finished the last of my assault squad http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010947-1.jpg and got a test neophyte done up. real simple.. took me maybe 45 minutes http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010946-1.jpg On a positive note as well I recieved 20 marines, 11 terminators 4 more scouts, another emperors champ (so if anyone needs one let me know) and another Castellan in the mail. Im soo stoked, now im just waiting on my LRC and some more rhinos. Boy im gonna be busy.

Validus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hey, I have to say that your painting skills are improving since the begining of the thread, especialy for your two last assault marines and the "scout" wich is awesome for the time u've spend on it. Your highlights are smoother and cause I like perfection, I would like to advice that you redo ur pred and the five first tacticals :P Maybe can you add a colour around the bases, like dark flesh ?

azironlegion Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks guys, it means alot. I do plan on redoing alot to the predator and im pretty sure im gonna stick with the shadow grey as a highlight as its ALOT more subtle. I usually leave my bases black but hey I broke all my previous vows with this army so why not one more hehe!

azironlegion Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 OK update time Was able to steal the camera away to work and upload some pics (sorry about some of the pics being kinda yellow) Still need to do some bases but those come a little later. Some of these ive already started on the bases as you can see. Heres the two terminators http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010959-1.jpg Squad leader of Alpha squad http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010956-1.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010958-1.jpg 4 more marines http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010960-1.jpg Got some more work on the predator too. changed the highlights to shadow grey to tone them down a little. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010953-1.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010954-1.jpg and a group shot of everything so far http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010961-1.jpg C&C encouraged as usual Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139585-azironlegions-long-crusade/page/2/#findComment-1656073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MmmmmFlamed'Nid Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Looking good, that pointy powerfist guy is really cool. I dont really like your gun casings but thats my taste really, I prefer the black ones of the newer guns. Also are those old terminators?

Squat Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 azironlegion I'm loving those robes on your champion! Looks brilliant, could you tell me your method for doing it, I've just finished my first black templar (check the thread Black Templar, Heretic Hunter for the pics) and I struggled with the robes for a while! Also, Must mention that I love the work on the plasma pistols, how have you managed to achieve that "glow" of the plasma coils??

daismith906 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Nice work on the models m8, im liking the red colour on the armour. My DIY chapter has black armour too and i also use codex greay to highlight the edges. If you want to tone them down slightly i find a wash of black ink blends them in nicely. Keep up the good work B) ! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139585-azironlegions-long-crusade/page/2/#findComment-1656187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
azironlegion Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks guys flamednid- Yea they are the older plastic terminators. I got 5 of them and 5 of the newer plastic termies in a recent trade. these are gonna be shooty squad filler while the new ones are for an assault terminator squad. im just waiting on my forgeworld templar storm shields and shoulderpads for them. Squat- my recipe for the robes is I paint them all white then wash them with the new gryphonne sepia wash. once dry I highlight the raised areas to white. really simple. As for the plasma coils i paint those white as well and then wash them with the leviathan purple wash. then once dry i apply more wash to the area where the coils meet the gun to darken it up a little. Diasmith- thanks for the tip. Ive actually switched to using shadow grey for my highlights. does a good job while being subtle.

azironlegion Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 OK pic update. Heres my terminator squad captain that will march with my fire support squad. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1020006-1.jpg and finally after much waiting and anticipation, some blood and a whole tube of glue my LRC is almost ready for priming. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1020008-1.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1020009-1.jpg Im gonna set upon the LRC like a pack of dogs on a three legged cat when I get home. Will give me a nice break from rank and file stuff. Also with the kit ive finally got lascannon tips for my predator. Stay tuned and C&C is encouraged.

MmmmmFlamed'Nid Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Your getting alot better, the captain is very good. You're a braver man than most for assembling the metal LRC when the new plastic one is out soon.
