El-Diablo Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 After seeing the 4th of Nihm's terminators in 8 months, I was inspired to go back to my Black Legion force, long abandoned in favour of my Sword Bearers. After throwing some plastics together, including a quick combi-plasma conversion, I came up with this fella so far. Yes Nihm, my converted Abaddon will be returning in the near future. ;) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Black%20Legion/termwip1.jpg Majority of the metals are done, as is the bone. Detailing, black and more metalics still need doing. Im pretty pleased with the skul on this trophy rack in particular. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Black%20Legion/termwip2.jpg C+C welcome.

Brother Aristeo Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I agree, the shading on the gold and the skulls are very nice. I also really like the helmet tusks. Good work man!

Muzza Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Looks very good. The gold looks great and I also like the detail picked out on the left leg. OT Does everyone here paint there models partly unassembled, cos I've always painted mine fully assembed?

ImperialTemplari Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Nice work Midian, will you be doing more highlights on the black or leaving it as is?

Brevik Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Bloody hell, that looks good! Ditto the other comments on the gold, it looks particularly smooth, my attempts at gold so far have been pitiful in comparison. Any chance of a run-down on how you achieved that?

El-Diablo Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Cheers all, hopefully i'll have a bit more to show later on. Nice work Midian, will you be doing more highlights on the black or leaving it as is? The black is untouched at the moment, its going to get 2 stages of highlight, possibly more. Seeing as everyone liked te gold, heres the recipie - -Basecoat shining gold. I used 3 thin coats to get it smooth. -Wash the gold with undiluted devlan mud, then wash the detailed areas (rivets, deep areas) with undiluted devlan mud. -First highlights are thinned shining gold. -Add mithril silver to shining gold for the second highlight. -Glaze the gold with scaly green. Seeing as scaly green is now oop, jade green with a spot of red gore mixed in would work. -Re-apply the mithril/gold highlight. Nice and easy.

Tyrannicide Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 He looks nice Midian and I agree the metallics look great. Hopefully we'll see some more of your Sword Bearers, I quite liked them. Good luck with the Black Legion, though. I look forward to seeing another version of your Abaddon.

Commissar Molotov Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Awesome to see your BL, Midian. You're definitely one of my favourite modellers on here. Looking forward to more. My friend (who is doing a BL army now...) and I put together an Abaddon conversion based on yours - I'll try to get you some pics. Keep up the great work! :wacko: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142888-black-legion-terminator-wip/#findComment-1655375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerrumIgnatus Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Amazing paintjob on the metallics, Median. might borrow that recepie on gold of yours. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142888-black-legion-terminator-wip/#findComment-1655618 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the Black Legion, though. I look forward to seeing another version of your Abaddon. There'll be more Sword Bearers, probably be around the codex release though. Im going to use the time to churn through as many daemons and CSM's as I can then go back to the shiny new toys. Awesome to see your BL, Midian. You're definitely one of my favourite modellers on here. Looking forward to more. My friend (who is doing a BL army now...) and I put together an Abaddon conversion based on yours - I'll try to get you some pics. Keep up the great work! :eek Thats quite a complement, thanks! If you need any of the Abaddon pictures for reference, drop me a PM and i'll see what I can dig out for you. Amazing paintjob on the metallics, Median. might borrow that recepie on gold of yours. :P Thanks. The gold was a bit of an experiment, i'd done it on a figure a couple of months ago and it seemed to work so it warrented another test. Incase anyone is interested, the terminator (including crappy varnish issues) was finished tonight. Pics up in THIS thread. Thanks to everyone who has commented.
