verpine Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 How do you paint them? They have a real nice clean, look to them. P.S. is that rhino really mint green, or is it just the picture? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144022-the-road-to-the-grand-tournament/page/2/#findComment-1766292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
turelhim vampire Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 No, that comes from having a strip lamp just above the table. It's not really mint green. I paint them with Vallejo Game Colour paints, much better than Citadel.

turelhim vampire Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Now I have a little more time I'll explain how I paint my Salamanders. All Vallejo paints I use are from the Game Colour range. Once converted/assembled I base coat the mini's in Chaos Black Spray, the I use a roughly 50/50 mix of Vallejo Sick Green and water, a few coats of this generally gets a nice, even coverage. I then touch up the black sections with Vallejo Black. After that it is a simple matter of painting the details, such as purity seals and eyes, chest eagles, etc. After which all sharp edges on the black sections are highlighted with Chainmail Silver (at least that's what I think it's called). The skin tones are simply chaos black with a VERY light (Citadel) Fortress Grey highlight. I think shade the recesses with (Citadel) Devlan Mud wash, and then on top of that is a coat of The Army Painter dip, which I will be painting on with an old brush to get it how I want it. Hopefully that helps? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144022-the-road-to-the-grand-tournament/page/2/#findComment-1767085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
schreibs Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Everything looks really dynamic! I like the influence of gears of war and metal gear solid on some of the stuff, real cool and original. People always picture marines just running around out in the open and shrugging off shots like they're nothing but I really like this route you took! The only problem I see is that you have these really dynamic marines and then the tanks are normal, you should have some guys riding on the outside of the tank WWII sherman style. I know there was a post I saw here a awhile back I think the guy had some ultramarines riding on a predator, it looked really cool. When I saw your other marines I thought that would be perfect for this army, imho.

turelhim vampire Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 That's definately and area I am hoping to work on - super detailing the rhinos. For the moment though I am short on time before the GT, so that will have to wait.

turelhim vampire Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 I felt it high time I update this thread, so went on a mad picture taking session over the last couple of days. Well, here they are, in no particular order - I'll clean them up another time when I get chance. Sorry about the image spam...

Commissar Molotov Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Nice use of the Badab War scheme on your sternguard. I like the clever basing too. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144022-the-road-to-the-grand-tournament/page/2/#findComment-1809657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
turelhim vampire Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Cheers, it was inspiration from the B&C that helped with both the sternguard and the bases. I am planning on adding a Redeemer and 5 Assault Terminators, the Termies I am thinking will be in Badab colours too. Do you think that would be a good idea?
