metcalfedan Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Sweet what happened to the pic from a couple of weeks ago? Which one? My entire photobuket got wrecked and I had to re-upload all of the pictures. Let me know what picture (or the post number) and I'll see if I can get it working again. hmmmm, I should paint a squad of metallic Crimson Guardians.... Go for it dude, you won't be disappointed :P Guess what I've been painting today. I'll give you a hint: It has tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 but it isnt possible for a metallic black is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligncomedy Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Metallic black would probably be a bit large in terms of work (Too many inkwashes o.o). I'm trying a metallic white as we speak though...>.> And looking forward to it Metcalfedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either the Aegis, another few Marines, or a whole damn Bastion.... Well it has to be good as I'll be going on a 3 week holiday after and will be unable to do any 40K stuff (apart from reading Black Library books). I thought I'd go out with a bang. Then come back with another. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 While you're gone I'll carry on with a model I'm doing ;) Yes even I've been inspired to have a go at your technique. It's simple yet effective and I want to see if it works... in yellow. So yeah, when you get back I'll show ya the final product :) Have a good holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Drumroll Please! There is a new update: http://metcalfedan.webs.com/apps/blog/show...g-up-loose-ends And yes! I finally got round to painting a RED marine: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/Viva%20Metallica/IMG_1294.jpg That is all. P.S.

Raven Angel Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is there a way you think to get a lighter brighter red like a metalic of the BA red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is there a way you think to get a lighter brighter red like a metalic of the BA red? I'm not sure, that's a hard one. Perhaps replacing one of the red wash coats with a wash of Delvan mud? I'll just have to make up (on a spare bit of plastic or something) some testers using various washes and different combinations at some point...

AdeptusDavidus Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I dunno, I like Blood Angels that are almost orangey. Maybe Gryphonne Sepia instead of Devlan Mud, to give that kind of bright, orangish undertone? I remember seeing some really gorgeous results using straight Gryphonne Sepia to get a bronzey-gold tone with your technique, using that with red might work for BAs.

Solid Zaku Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 That actually looks like it would be brilliant on a Word Bearer. Oh Lordy, I can't even think of all the WB-fans you've just made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike22 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I love this technique, but alas, i can't get it right, all my Salamanders end up splotchy. Perhaps im doing somnething wrong? I don't think so, its just 1) Mithril Silver, 2: Badab black, 3) Thrakka green, 4) Thrakk green, 5) Thrakka green and 6) Other stuff. That doesn't seem wrong to me. Also, im not loading the brush, im coating everyhtin (in theroy) evenly and with a medium amount... Im such a screw up when it comes to painting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im such a screw up when it comes to painting :) I can't explain this, but sometimes it happens to me - what I do to fix it is: 1. Get your wash pot. 2. Shake the pot a little. 3. Open the pot and make sure there is some of the liquid in the lid. 4. dip the brush into the liquid in the lid. This is what the first coat is like when I don't do the above: (doesn't cover the surface as well and goes blotchy) http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/Viva%20Metallica/IMG_1235.jpg Whereas when I take it from the lid, it somehow gets a more even coat: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/Viva%20Metallica/IMG_0452.jpg Hope that helps at all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike22 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Ah, Iit does, im some what of a slow painter, so i'll just keep shaking the pot :mellow: Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that's what a palette is for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
