CarbonBased Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Edit: 30 August 2012 New posts start HERE Got some terminator work done. Also pledged in the Path to Redemption DA painting challenge. I can always use some motivation. Apologies for some of the older broken picture links. Lost the photobucket album they were connected to. Here's a link to my army album Dawnbringers Edited September 4, 2012 by CarbonBased Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143089-dawnbringers-da-successors-wip-orange/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJP Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Well, they are certainly different. Hold on... Is that grey unpainted plastic? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

nurglespuss Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 its either adeptus battle grey or codex grey.... I think they look really original! As for the banner, I would quarter it with your colour scheme, add chapter symbol to the middle and squad number to top left or bottom right corner.

Sons of Corax Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yea quarter the banner, you have four colors going on. Very original scheme btw. -Sunny Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143089-dawnbringers-da-successors-wip-orange/#findComment-1656808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialTemplari Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hey CarbonBased, it is original, maybe a bit to busy though, I would have dropped either the white or grey and had white/red/yellow or grey/red/yellow, but that just my opinion. otherwise they look good.

CarbonBased Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Well, got some touch up done and started highlighting. The 4 in the foreground are set for highlights, the ones in back still need sky gray highlights over the neutral gray. Click the small photo for the big version. The highlights get lost in the picture I guess, but the yellows got a highlight as well. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/dbwip002small.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/dbwip003small.jpg I'm so glad it's the weekend. I want to make some real progress on these guys. Thanks for your comments, they're greatly appreciated. You can see the next squad behind them, primed and inked.

CarbonBased Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Got more painting done this weekend. Glossed the shoulderpads and kneepad to prep for decals. I put one of the assault squad decals on this morning. I'm pretty pleased with it so far. I'll post pics when I get home from work. I've decided to make these guys second squad. The custom decals I made have a small roman numeral in the squad marking. I'm putting off the squad leader for now, since I'm not sure what changes the new 'dex will bring. Next up is to finish the swappable arms for the special and heavy weapons.

Honda Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I agree, this is a very interesting scheme, perhaps a tad busy, but still very nice looking. I think if it were up to me, and I know it's not, I would consider softening the yellow and orange. You could glaze over them with something like Bleached Bone or Bubonic Brown to soften the contrast. Then the colors themselves aren't lost, but neither are their contrasts so stark. But then, I tend to like softer contrasts, regardless of the colors involved. Excellent job so far. Keep up the good work!

Qu1f Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Nice colour scheme mate. Thats a nice looking orange as well. How do you do it (the orange)?

CarbonBased Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's white primer, orange foundation, vallejo light orange for the highlights, and gryphonne sepia wash for a few low spots. And thanks, glad you like it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143089-dawnbringers-da-successors-wip-orange/#findComment-1661122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraximus Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hm, thats really good. At first I didn't like the scheme, but not that I look at it it has grown a lot on me. :-) The quality is great. Did you use Black Templar or Dark Angel robes for your marines?

CarbonBased Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks! Yeah, they're DA robes. I dig a lot of the DA extras. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143089-dawnbringers-da-successors-wip-orange/#findComment-1663710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu1f Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Whats your plans for the army size and fluff wise? Any particular units your going to use?

CarbonBased Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) I've currently got 6 tac squads, 2 assault squads, 2 devs, 6 rhinos, 3 vindis, and the ability to field 2 of the rhinos as preds, 2 as whirlwinds, and 2 as razorbacks. (I love magnets). I've got about 35 terminators a LRC and a LR. 6 bikes, 3 landspeeders and 2 atk bikes. I've only got 1 lonely dread, so I'm looking to catch a deal on those. I put a deposit down on black reach, and I'm hoping to trade an orc player for his marine sprues. Not yet assembled is a box of vets I won at gamesday. I've been playing against my friends orcs with DA rules, but I'll probably go with a different chapter when the new 'dex arrives. They're just a bit bright for DA :D I honestly don't have a favorite unit yet, as I really haven't played them enough to get a handle on how everything shakes down. I've magnetized the Sgt, special, and heavy weap troop for each squad, so I have some flexibility there. Fluff-wise, they're all about scourging darkness, so I see them using a lot of fire and plasma. Chaos and demons would be obvious choices for a preferred enemy. I really haven't gotten any background solidified.

nighthawks Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 those are really well painted. not colors I would have ever thought to use (very andy warhol...) but they are laid on beautifully and really work well. I dig "the first light..." tagline, too. Glad to see someone else using the two-color shoulders, too. bravo. keep posting!

CarbonBased Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 So how are these guys getting along then? No progress as of today. Been out of state on business, but I plan to get some more work done on them this weekend. Thanks all for the kind words, and criticism too!

CarbonBased Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Got the decals set, working on bases now. Still need another coat of dullcote, they're still a touch shiny. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/decal.jpg I'm debating putting the company number on the left knee. Thoughts?

Qu1f Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Would depend what the markings are mate. Might look quite good with number markings. Would depend what the markings are mate.

Master Of Malfeasance X Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think the colors match up to the concept really well, and you have done a superb job with them. Truly. However, your choice of colors is... a little avant garde. It took til the last post before I realized I liked them, but my knee-jerk reaction in a game store as a chaos player is 'aw, dang, man, I GOTTA get me a piece of that army, it's a moral imperative.'
