Luther - the fallen Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 okay, I'll start of with a re-introduction of the Obsidian Drakes. Sometime last year when GW released the Battle Company Box, I had a sudden neurosis and bought one, and decided that I wanted to create my own Chapter. After some long discussions with Neph, Nihm, and a few(read everyone that wanted to listen) other friends I found a colour scheme and a name(well neph found a name for them :D), the Obsidian Drakes. I started work on the company, which quickly turned into several other armies too, and only a 1500 point army of the drakes remained, all in greys, in a box in the pile of projects I have. the Danish Army took up alot of my time as training intensified, and I soon forgot all about the army waiting for it's chance. when I saw the new plastic drop pods I remembered my old chapter, and found the box, in it was 1500 points of plastic goodness, and soon I started work on them. Right now, however, I'm stuck again. I need a colour for weapons (and that's all I'll let you change, everything else have been decided a long time ago..), my ideas so far are either metallics, green, or black. anyway, here's the WIP pics, so you can see the colours on the devastators I've got (they're still WIP, but getting there). starting with the Sarge: Sarge pic Heavy bolters and bolter marine: squad pic 1 Missile launcher, bolter and sarge: squad pic 2 as I've already mentioned, these guys are WIP, and still need some work (fixing of highlights etc.) anyway, you know the drill, time to pull my work apart (not litterally please), as always, C&C welcome..

nurglespuss Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I really like this colourscheme. You may wish to give the black a wash with badab black to try and blend those highlights in a bit more, might help :> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/Erick_sermon/40K/Obsidian%20Drakes/randomstuff021.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145010-obsidian-drakes-finally-getting-something-painted/#findComment-1680542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cl4d Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 My mold line detector has overflown, I'd suggest you to be more carefull when cleaning the models before painting them, as it will look 5 times better with no mold lines.
