Boo Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Oh, you make me blush! ;) Basing is something I'm very lazy with, but it makes the models look so much better so that's absolutely something I intend to do :) Eventually ;) I've test based some models and the results look good. I will do that to the rest, in time... :P Thanks for the feedback, I'm currently painting my second tac squad and I hope to be finished with that soon ;) Cheers Boo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141943-angels-vermillion/page/2/#findComment-1778524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Get moving now soldier!! We don't have time to act like little girls! I expect those marines painted by tomorrow night on my desk! They all'd better be based to! Or there'll be hell to pay! FALLOUT! heh heh. =-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141943-angels-vermillion/page/2/#findComment-1778534 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Okay, so I'm working my way through the tacs painting them slowly when I find time and as a little reward for painting the tactical marines I converted a captain to lead the 1000 pts force. :blush: He is converted from the AoBR box. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Painting_log-3.jpg I'm not sure I'm content with him, it kinda feels like he is missing something. Any ideas? Comments appreciated ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141943-angels-vermillion/page/2/#findComment-1799252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 He needs something on his right shoulder pad, little bit of decoration or something. Other than that, pretty good!

Boo Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Okay, small update, I will not use the captain at all. Its all pure BA now :P but thanks for the input anyways metcalfedan :blink: Ive found my old 3rd ed chaplain and his deathcompany in a box and will paint them up. I know that mostly deathcompany are painted black, but mine will be white. I think it will be a really nice contrast to the dark red. Thoughts on this? ^_^ My second tactical is done, not that I will use it in 1000 pts anyway, but I have no pictures. The first tac is based and completed! No pictures of that either I'm afraid. But it will come in time. I've also found a 3rd ed Baal predator which I will also paint. So much to do so little time, and also I have to finish my 8 unpainted assaulters... So, much more to come.

Boo Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Update time. As I said, the second tactical squad is finished. Almost, just need another gun painted, basing and a backpack to the sarge. Despite my precious input I have not enteirly forsaken the vanilla codex, which is why I painted this tac squad up in the first place. But anywho, here are they, almost finished! http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Tacticalbra-1.jpg Next up will either be completing the Death company and the chaplain, or painting up my AoBR dreadnought. :lol: Any comments and criticism is welcome ;) Cheers Boo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141943-angels-vermillion/page/2/#findComment-1850410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Oh, I got pushed back several pages, let's bump this a little ey? ;) And I better ad a pix so that's it's not for nothing. I've added wheatering to the rhino, I'm not sure that it went well. Please give feedback on it, I may have to change it. ;) http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Rhino1.jpg And the other side http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Rhino2.jpg //Boo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141943-angels-vermillion/page/2/#findComment-1853414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemayday Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hey Boo, I'm a new player/painter and I really like the way you did the AV. Could you share the exact colours you used to paint the marines? I'd like to try my hand at them too and want to know which paints to buy.

Boo Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hey there! Well, I'm flattered, of course I'll share my method with you. First I base the marine with chaos black. Then drybrush the whole marine with scab red. After that I dybrush the edges of the armour with blood red, only a light dybrush. After this, I apply a black wash, 2 drops of water and some chaos black. Let this dry and then highlight the whole marine first with scab red and then with blood red. After this I touch up everything that is supposed to be another color than red with black. At this stage you pretty much have a red marine, next up is the details. I start with the ammopouches and the likes, first painting it bestial brown, the highlight it with snakebite leather, bubonic brown and finally some bleached bone. After this I paint the bolgun with boltgun metal, and wash the metal parts with the black wash. Next highlight the metal with mithril silver and the bolgun with codex grey. After this it's pretty much only the eyes left which I paint dark angels green and highlight with dark angels green mixed 1/1 with skull white. There you go, hope that helped! :huh: And also, I've been playing a torunament this weekend, and during those long hours, 12 all in all, I've also managed, in between games, to paint a dreadnought and also two death company marines! So, here come some pix of them. The dc are white, and I like them that way, becuase the stand out more from the red, than they would have if I would have painted them black. But let me know what you think. ;) http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Deatcompany.jpg And here is the dreadnought. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/turdnaughtfront.jpg And the sides. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/turdnaughtleft.jpg http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/turdnaughtright.jpg There we go, please let me know what you think. //Boo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141943-angels-vermillion/page/2/#findComment-1857332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemayday Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Many thanks for the tips, Boo! I think I'm gonna add a bit of flavour to the colour scheme- some contrasting shoulder pad or whole arm.

I'm just kidding, but hey, nice going man. I've seen your BA up close and personal and I've battled them a few times too. Some day I'll get you. ;) Thinking 'bout starting my own plog, if I'm not to lazy... :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141943-angels-vermillion/page/2/#findComment-1866727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Also, today I finished the Death company boss, the chaplain! Also sporting a new shiny jumppack! I stole his from cmdr Dante! (heresy some might scream, but I never use him anyway.) Okay, here is the pic I snapped of him today.

Boo Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks james! :D I've also finished some VAS today and began painting my Baal. I also realised that I have many marines to base! ^_^ A daunting project that I will deal with.. later :P hehe http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Vasdone-1.jpg And here's the wip on the baal. Haven't really got that far yet. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Baalwip-1.jpg So better get back to painting!

Boo Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks rookster! :D Anyway, got some work done on the baal. All reds are done, but got loads to do still. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Baalwip2-1.jpg Also, I thought I would include a pic on how my models looked pre repaint. This is how I painted at the age of 11. :) Enjoy. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Prerepain2-1.jpg It looks horrible, and that's why I'm repainting the whole army. Well, back to painting! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141943-angels-vermillion/page/2/#findComment-1929337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ooow.... Maybe he just needs to take some more time when he paints. Because if it looks worse than those, it must be bad. ^_^ Thanks! :sick: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141943-angels-vermillion/page/2/#findComment-1931864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Update time! Got the Baal 95% finished, the only things missing are some details and weathering. But this is roughly how it'll look on the battlefield! http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/Baal95done-1.jpg Also, started working on an objective marker, a downed terminator making his last stand. The base looks a bit dull though, any suggestions on how to make it look better will be appreciated! http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/ObjectiveWIP.jpg and the base http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/ObjectiveWIPbase.jpg Also, a wip shot of my last group of RAS. And it is actually the last unit I have to paint to reach 1000 pts! yay go me! :D http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/ododen/RASWIP.jpg Any C&C will be appreciated!
