Brother Tuditanus Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Banners look ok, but hard for me to see on the screen. Love the chapter master, where did you get those wings?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about the banners being small, they're actual size. The wings are from HERE Hasslefree mini's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tuditanus Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks! I like that site, and the wings are useful.. No problem on the banners being small.. A tweak of my resolution made them seeable, and they look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Gone, but not forgotten. I've just started playing again after a long hiatus for various reasons. Through a bit of serendipity, it turns out almost all my close friends had a 40k army of one kind or another put away. So we've all taken to getting together on Sunday evenings and getting in a game or two. This has given me renewed motivation to start painting again in earnest. Here's some progress from last night. I'll post up a whole army shot tonight, so you can see how much I have painted (and how much more I don't) My biggest hold up currently is that until it gets nicer out, I don't have a good place to prime. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0041.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0043.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0042.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0044.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 I tried something new, and added some highlights. I'm not entirely sure if I dig it. Any suggestions?

CarbonBased Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Me likey, *POP!*. Would like to see some more models though, as the old links aren't working. :) Ask and ye shall receive. Here's an almost whole army shot. Not shown are my unpainted terminators, 2 landraiders, 2 vindis, my bikes, and a few other odds and ends. They're all at my buddies house from last weekend. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0050.jpg If you'd like to see some close up, here's a link.

verpine Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yep, keep the highlights, looks great ;) . Good luck painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks! They're growing on me as well. I'm going to try them on some tacs and vehicles as well to see how they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Got some work done on a landspeeder last night. It's gesso primed (which I can do indoors and in wet weather) The gesso is a bit thick, but it's not as bad on a vehicle as there's much less detail to obscure. I'll get it posted tonight. Anyone have a line on yellow ink like GW used to sell before washes? I do like the washes for many applications, but yellow ink on white primer is a fantastic one-coat job for my yellow. The problem is, I'm running low on ink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Here's the landspeeder, as promised. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/landspeeder1side.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/landspeeder1front.jpg I did some looking and it seems there's a brand of ink made by PH Martin's that might work. I'll post about it once I get a bottle and give it a try. Edited March 17, 2011 by CarbonBased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Did get some work done on some tac marines. The one on the far left is all base coated and has his orange highlights. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0081.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Gryphonne Sepia over white primer makes for a nice parchment/old fabric base. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0086.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Got the decals on my 4th and 5th squad standard bearers. I'm in the process of painting over them. I use them as a guide since there's no way I could totally freehand them. 4th Squad http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0091.jpg 5th Squad http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0092.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Got some more work done on banners. Not award winning work, to be sure, but I'm happy. Have a lot more to do as each squad has it's own unique banner. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0098.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0097.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0096.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 No new update today, as I'm going out. Tomorrow is actual 40k playing day (incredible, I know!) but I might get some painting in between games. Thanks for looking, and don't be shy.

Firepower Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 This is one of those color schemes I'd sooner shoot myself than try to attempt (I hate working off of white basecoats). Much praise to you good sir for not only pursuing it, but actually making it work. It actually reminds me of the Fire Lords (Fire Angels? Fire Gods? I dunno, too much fire in 40k) posted recently by another painter. The one thing which strikes me as "off" is the shoulder emblem on the dreadnought.

On the dread, do you mean the Tac symbol, or the chapter symbol? I'm assuming the chapter symbol since it's not painted in yet. They don't look so "There's a sticker on my dread" once they're painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Almost done kitting out my terminators. Ran out of magnets though. I need to convert a few more Cyclone launchers, but I'm out of ancient rhino headlights. I'm hoping to prime what I do have tomorrow. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x120/Carbonbased_photo/Stuff/40k/IMG_0104.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Cambrius Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hurray to seeing these guys again and for the use of Orange! :huh: They're looking great Carbon Based the orange is fantastic! Just need to fix up the mould lines on these boys and they'll soon look sublime! Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yes, mould lines are the bane of my existence. I'm trying to clean up the ones I haven't base-coated yet. But the one's already base-coated will have to wait until I've got everything else at least table top. If I keep going back, I never move forward. Thanks for the kind words, it really does help keep me motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
