Frostbit3 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I just picked up the AoBR set after being away from the game for years. Decided to roll with the Flesh Tearers as I love their fluff. Having not painted in several years, thought I'd practice the color scheme on the termies since I probably won't use them in my actual army. Here's a few pics taken with a webcam /shudder. So the colors are a little mucked up. C&C welcome. Any thoughts on basing given the color scheme? Colors/textures more than big rocks and rubble is what I'm after. I am also wanting to convert the AoBR tactical marines a little bit. Want to make them a little more evil looking. So far I've just filed the arrows off the pads. I picked up some khorne chain axes and swords, which will help my assault squads, but doesn't do much for my tacs. I am tempted to try out some chain bayonets. But any other ideas? I'm a little stuck. Thanks! http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/sfreeman3/ft_back.jpg http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/sfreeman3/ft_front.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147882-wip-flesh-tearers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAR Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Looka likw you are off to a good start. I love the blue as a highlight for ther balck, but I think it is a little bit too strong, it may just be the picture. Chain bayonets on the bolters would be a very nice touch for more sinisiter looking. Another thing you might do is paint jags / slashes on the helmets, across the eye so it gives a little more " edgy" look. Anyhoo, my thoughts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147882-wip-flesh-tearers/#findComment-1715858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull_Lord Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Nice start, but the blue highlights are a bit over the top, how about a Badab Black wash? The pics are mirrored..

The_Chaplain Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 the blue highlights on black look really nice Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147882-wip-flesh-tearers/#findComment-1715979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbit3 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Thanks for the feedback so far! I think the heaviness of the blue is just a result of the picture, and harsh lighting. The model is a lot darker in reality. The "blue" is shadow grey, and the edge highlights are thin enough that you can barely make out a subtle color difference from gaming distance. I used like 2:1 chaos black:shadow grey, 1:1 chaos:shadow, then a fairly fine line of shadow on the edges. Any other thoughts on converting the AoBR tac marines?

Frostbit3 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Slightly more representative pictures. Still... taken with a camera phone. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/sfreeman3/ft_back2.jpg http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/sfreeman3/ft_front2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147882-wip-flesh-tearers/#findComment-1716261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
