eyescrossed Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I don't mind, you can if you want - I'd be very happy to see them ;) Hehehe... I've barely got one done, so it'll be a while :D Also, I could do Viva Metallica perfectly on a Dire Avenger with blue, but the red on my Berzerkers is splotchy. I can't help it, it just is. It doesn't look too bad, though, in my opinion - makes the armour look worn and dirty, as it's mostly slightly splotchy black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoby Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 This really is a great technique, and I love how it works for your crimson fists (I very nearly stole the technique for my army :)) and your Lucius is possibly the best version of that model Ive seen, but I just don't think it works on the Inquisitor lord, it may come off differently in person, but it looks too pink and not red enough. Perhaps try adding a spot of the purple wash mixed in with the red, I use a roughly 3:1 red:purple mix of GW washes on the red in my marines, I have accidentally got it on boltgun metal and I think it may give a deeper and stronger red for you.

metcalfedan Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Yeah I was thinking of going darker, maybe i'll add another coat or two later on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeno Skum Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 maybe another coat of badab black ;p just throwing it out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've done a one and a half red Berzerkers. My red is darker than yours, but yours is smoother. Stupid splotchyness... :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 It must depend on the way we paint... You know, I think I might try a coat of purple just to experiment a little. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I think I might try a coat of purple just to experiment a little. :D Post pics if you do :) I will if I remember. Now for a bit of a rant... I went to GW bluewater yesterday to enter in a painting competition - the categories were similar to the Golden Demon ones, and I entered Pedro in single miniature, my dreadnought in vehicle/walker, my tactical squad in squad and Lucius in diorama. There was no youngbloods category. The Crimson Fists didn't win anything but Lucius came 2nd, which i'm not too bothered about, but i was a little p***ed with what won, a (won't say badly but won't well painted) diorama of Ultrasmurfs fighting Orks (don't want to offend the owner if he reads this - but then again, he was like 12...) T thing had NO tonal shading, was modelled pretty bad and wasn't even based - just glued to a square rectangle and painted brown. I don't want to sound big headed or generally irritating but THAT MODEL SHOULD NOT HAVE WON :cuss: The same kid also won gold in the squad category with blandly painted silver Grey Knight assault marines - THAT IS AN ILLEGAL UNIT! FGS!!! He beat my friend who entered some (I have to say, beautiful Tyranid Hunters and Cassius - he only came 3rd. But the biggest piece of crap i've ever heard was when someone accused me of cheating because they had seen Lucius IN THIS VERY THREAD and thought I had bought it. THAT'S JUST BULL-****! I mean come on GW! hire some decent employees that aren't biased/have crap judging methods... [/rant] On another note - I've started to glue my warhound together (the lego one) but i've run out of glue... Should I paint it in metallics?

Heru Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Sounds like the kid was related to someone on staff. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 I guess i'll just have to live with it...

metcalfedan Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hey guys, guess what... MY EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!! Now I have an extra long summer as I have finished school - 11 whole weeks! I've been thinking of adding a single Sisters Of Battle squad that can either be used as allies in my Crimson Fists or Urdeshi 4th armies, it'll probably just be a single 10-woman squad suited for anti-infantry duty. I also want them to have metallic armour as they wear PA. I also want them to include purple, either on the armour or on the cloth... So I made a few test pictures: Number 1: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/Viva%20Metallica/sister1.jpg Number 2: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/Viva%20Metallica/sister2.jpg Number 3: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/Viva%20Metallica/sister3.jpg Lemme know which one would be best... oh and I'm open to name suggestions for their Order too. :) Thanks dudes :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 im torn between 1 and 2, pref 2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Gabriel Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The third one looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The third one. The first one looks like a joke and the second one screams of Emperor's Children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Personally I think No 2. as, if purple as opposed to pink, it will look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 1 or 3 2 does scream Emperor's Children, and it looks too girly. 1 has a nice blend of color and old knight armor 3 has the extremely strong but good contrast of pink and gold, that 2 doesn't have for some reason.

AngryJohnny Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hey Dan, I agree that 1 or 3 looks the best. I would like number 1 better if it didn't have the purple bit on the face/helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Cool, thanks for the input - I have made a topic on another forum that has a poll included: http://commissar.proboards.com/index.cgi?b...amp;thread=7370 I'd be very grateful if any of you would take the time to click on the link and vote, thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Zach Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I'm liking this Viva Metallica thread. I'm gonna try and use some of these techniques on some power weapons in my army, since the wet blending isn't going as planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kildash Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 hey guys, I've been working on his viva metallica scheme for my own marines, and though I still find his work better, I've been quite busy :tu: First, a dreadnought: http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn183/Kildash/Marine%20army%20pictures/th_DSCN0799.jpg And a little inquisitor done up with the same scheme: http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn183/Kildash/Marine%20army%20pictures/th_DSCN0804.jpg What do you guys think?

shrike22 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Good to see you're back in action! Oh and i'd go with 1, ust without the purple on the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
