Angels_Blade Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 So the plan to paint an entire army by the release of the new codex is progressing nicely. So far we have a Tactical SQD, Terminator SQD, Chaplain and Dread. With the upcoming release of Black Reach my troops and elites are taken care of so i decided to invest in a little fire power, Namely 3 vindicators. Here is the first of the trio (all of which will be named with a 'steel' prefix) As with the rest of army, my aim is to have a good tabletop standard in a short time period. The Vindicator was a perfect place to play with the new washes in an effort to create a burnished look to the metal. Painting time was about 3 hours including drying time for inks. C&C welcome as usual http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7230023.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7230024.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7230025.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7230026.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7230027.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7230029.jpg And the whole army so far! http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7230034.jpg Cheers AB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143379-steel-scorpions-vindicator/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

barek Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Now I REALLY know I should not have tried to repaint my Iron Warriors in a new colour scheme but should have tried to improve upon them! (Growl). I'm feeling jealous right now. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143379-steel-scorpions-vindicator/#findComment-1661711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medwayman Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I like how even your metal color was while still maintaining shades and highlights. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143379-steel-scorpions-vindicator/#findComment-1661829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajan Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Great work Angels Blade!! I was having trouble to decide where to put the black panels with chapter markings on my vindies, but i think im going to it your way. I like the army shot, they are growing nicely :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143379-steel-scorpions-vindicator/#findComment-1661988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 That is one cool looking tank. Just a couple of questions. What parts did you use for the right arm resting on rim of the hatch? And what technique did you use for the scorched metal on the demolisher cannon's barrel? Once again kudos on the work you've put into this tank, keep up the good work. Dusty.

And what technique did you use for the scorched metal on the demolisher cannon's barrel? Thanks, the arm is the normal arm for the stormbolter with a bikers hand. The scorching is quite simple, Start with a drybrush about 1/3 of the barrel with Brazen Brass Then dry brush about 1/3 of that with Tin Bitz Finish off buy just flicking the tip of the Barrel with chaos black Hope that helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143379-steel-scorpions-vindicator/#findComment-1662136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Argos Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Wasn't this the Chapter that Ah'Shulah came up with ? Steel Scorpions IA It might be polite to give him a link and some credit for the idea perhaps ?

Qu1f Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 The scheme is very awesome to be honest (being fully aware that the originol idea came from Ah'Shulah). I like how effective it is. Might try a similar colour scheme myself :). Welll done.

Heru Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Wasn't this the Chapter that Ah'Shulah came up with ? Steel Scorpions IA It might be polite to give him a link and some credit for the idea perhaps ? To be fair he (Angels_Blade) did give him (Ah'Shulah) credit in the first thread he made (this is like the 4th or 5th unit). I then pointed out Ah'Shulah's Steel Scorpion IA thread in his Chaplain thread in reference to Cornelius not being a particularly fluffy name for a Steel Scorpion.
