Stormreaver Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Thought I'd start a new chapter for the new codex, wanted to do one which had good background but wasnt very common, and had an interesting colour scheme. Went for the Exorcists since the idea of marines who all been possessed by daemons and go nutso when near them sounded pretty cool to me plus it allows me to use them with daemonhunters should I ever wish to... Started with a tactical squad since I don't have the book handy ot make an army list I went for the safe option. Usual apologies for the bad photography :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010009.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010014.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010015.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010016.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010012.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010010.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010011.jpg If anyone can suggest how to highlight the red better, all I managed was either an orangey look or a pink one, neither looked great.

TheRat Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 A good number of professional painter hardly ever use white into their basecoats for highlights ( i.e. the pink look), maybe as a final drastic highlight and then only VERY slightly. You could try starting with a darker base and working up to true red. Maybe add a touch of blue to the original red and end with the desired red as your final highlight.

Lamenter Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Very nice work. They do have a slight pink tinge in the highlight, but it's not a problem. A yellow glaze could help reduce that if it bothered you.

Stormreaver Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I think the pink in the photo is only from my upping the lightness a bit in photoshop to compensate for my hoorendous photography ;) The red's a little richer in RL. I'm working on a landspeeder next, we'll see how that turns out!

Brother Eneok Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Looking real good so far! For your reds, I would try to darken it first with a brown wash, then use the various reds as highlights (without adding anything to them) as a final highlight (maybe on the extreme edges) use an orange. I use it on my bolters for my Ultras and it looks really good without the "pink" factor coming into play.

Brother Corvus Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 You could always try lightening the highlight up with bleached bone. I always thought the Exorcist red was quite blood red-ish, but thats just how im painting my Exorcists! :) BTW, where did you get info on the company markings, i cnat find it anywhere?

Stormreaver Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 The chapter markings are from the amargeddon site plus I think it was the How to Paint Space Marines book, or one of the others with lots of paint schemes like Index Astartes.

Stormreaver Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Right, Ive settled on a list for my army so I can get painting again, so here we have a Rhino for the tactical squad already painted and a Tornado ... the colours are a bit washed out in these pics, the red is actually a deep rich red not wussy pink :lol: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010029.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010021.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010058.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Stormreaver/P1010022.jpg Comments?

Ferrus Manus Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I like them both, but I think they both need some more black panelling to break up the red. Apart from that good.

Stormreaver Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Well I want the scheme to be predominantly red with black only serving of the accentuating colour - backpacks, shoulder trim and sergeants helmets. On vehicles, the odd bit of panelling is painted black simply to differentiate the army a bit more from Blood Angels, which unfotunately 90% of people thinkk my army is :D Maybe I'll add a bit more black for the land raider I need to do...

Momento Mori Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I personally don't think there is anything wrong with your red, it looks fine to me! The thing I like most about these is that nostalgic 1st/2nd Edition feel they have to them, great stuff!
