metcalfedan Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 For the next marine, I'll take pics of stage by stage painting for you to see. After one wash it's still quite pale so you could do that for Grey knights. I painted some GK Termies for my friend (in exchange for some spare bitz) and used a light wash, makes them look great!

docbp87 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Stunning! Frankly, this is also probably a more accurate portrayal of what marine armour would look like. It would be fabulous to see an entire army painted this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 actually I was at the local GW yesterday watching the staff have a game of fantasy. One of the guys was playing some tzeentch or slanesh guys, and he did the same thing, only with purple. It looked amazing, he had terrible luck though. just kept getting hammered. got nice and frustrated, but anyway. The chaos knights on horseback looked particularily amazing. So as a full army it does look good. I think the model looks better than it does in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Great colour scheme, if you dont mind i will use it to on my new SM army ;). Cant wait to buy some marines again next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufew Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Do you plan to varnish them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Do you plan to varnish them? Currently, no but maybe for models like HQ's and independents etc. For a bit of variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.rasczak Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Great looking marine. I tried out the scheme on a marine helmet on one of my kroot bases and it looks amazing. I used Leviathan purple instead of blue and it turned out really well. I don't have any pictures yet and even if I did they wouldn't be allowed here. I might trying doing a whole marine soon if I have the time. Thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to seeing more of the metallic crimson fists.

metcalfedan Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 The sergeant and heavy weapon trooper are underway, just about to start the 3 coats of blue washes, will put some pictures up when they are done. EDIT: done 2 coats of blue on the HW trooper and 1 on the sergeant: Emperor damn it! they take so long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryJohnny Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I love it, they look fantastic! That is the best Crimson Fists scheme I've ever seen. You should do your Sternguard that way. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should do your Sternguard that way. :P I will be after this tactical squad is finished. I'm also planning on painting a squad of Soul Drinkers using Leviathan Purple instead of Asurmen Blue to go with this army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Ah Ha! I see a colour scheme for my Ebon Drakes forming! A nice metallic green for the bodies... Maybe some solid colour for the shoulder pads... Or maybe something else metallic. Thank you for this, you've saved my Chapter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 If your interested in the green, check out my Legio B&C squad over he the WIP section, I've tried green for a Dark Angel there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Update time: Managed to finish a re-paint of the blue of my Pedro Kantor, now I just have to go over the other areas: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0104.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0105.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Fantastic! You're using the current GW washes for these over the Mithril Silver? I may have to do test mini in my Chapters color scheme. Keep these guys coming they look amazing! I'm eagerly awaiting the step by step on your process. Be sure to post the soul drinkers too. I checked out your Legio Squad in the WIP & the Purple is going to look incredible on an entire marine. All of the colors you've done look great.

Kuchinawa Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I vote for your Pedro for being one of the coolest I've seen. Really nice job. I really thought the red was too dark, but after looked at it again, it seems to look perfectly with the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Shofer Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hi, I tried your recipe, not to good effect, the MS just went dark blue with a little sheen (I did have some success adding bolt gun metal to the AB) :) Are you multi-layering, diluted MS? Are you using diluted AB? Lovely colour. CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using diluted AB? Lovely colour. CS I just paint the paint straight from the pot, let it dry, then paint the washes straight from the pot over the top. Thanks for the replies guys, I myself can't wait to get the rest done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ompfris Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Awesome way of painting - I'm just about finished painting one copy catting your crimson fists :( Its so quick and easy - the only thing I found was to be very careful not to overlap the washes. (Did my Chest Eagle in Sepia tho.... kinda a brassy gold look) Thanks for posting your work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ompfris Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Please post a picture, I'd love to see the way you did it. Gee I hope that was directed at me ;) No where as good as yours; of course. As you can see he isn't finished (anything which isn't armour), I dont think I've made his blue dark enough tho. I've been trying out so many differn't painting styles since I've joind up on the B&C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
