OnlyInDeath Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I"m looking forward for when you get some paint on these guys! One point to consider though: break out the bitz box! these guys are the best of the best to serve alongside thier captain. They need some major decour to go along with those lightning claws. And I wish you could make them all corvus helms...but that may just be me...

Todosi Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 I like the Corvus pattern a lot, but I wanted some variation in the squad. I was curious if anyone would think they needed more bling. After looking at the GW Vanguard Vets up close, I am going to add some more bits to them. I have added some tabards, purity seals, and banners, but it seems they need something more as well. Back to the bitz box! Thanks for the comments guys!

BrotherWasted Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I personally hate Terminator Lightning Claws on regular Power Armour; but I guess we don't have too much of a choice nowadays. Can't wait to see these painted! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151449-shrikes-wing/#findComment-1765559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todosi Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 OK, so I blinged them up a touch. The remaining embellishments will be done with paint and decal. Thanks for all the thoughts brothers! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Todosi/Miniatures/Raptors/ShrikesWingredux002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Todosi/Miniatures/Raptors/ShrikesWingredux003.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Todosi/Miniatures/Raptors/ShrikesWingredux004.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Todosi/Miniatures/Raptors/ShrikesWingredux005.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Todosi/Miniatures/Raptors/ShrikesWingredux006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Todosi/Miniatures/Raptors/ShrikesWingredux007.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151449-shrikes-wing/#findComment-1777332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallicop Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Looks great! All I can suggest is adding highlights to the lightning claws using blazing orange , then a wash with Baal red and it will look more like glowing claws. I love the gold too, good to see someone who can use metallics!

KP13 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I love 'em, and I love your green - any chance you can give us a breakdown of how you paint it? Thanks!

Todosi Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Wow! Thanks for all the comments! I'm still not in love with the claws, but wanted some more color in the scheme. There will likely be more work on them after other projects are caught up. As for the green recipe, it's pretty simple. Prime black, drybrush Vallejo Cayman Green, drybrush, Vallejo Camo Green, then an ink wash made of Green Ink, Black Ink, Future Floor Wax and a drop or three of water. I really like the old inks myself because I am used to them, but I am looking forward to the new washes which should give you a similar effect.

KP13 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 By "Vallejo Camo Green" do you mean "Vallejo Model Color Luftwaffe Camo Green M086"?

CrimsonMissed Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Very impressive. When painted the colour scheme really draws you in, and it also makes the Terminator claws flow better with the models - they still look a little big, but dont detract from the look and work with the models very well.

dustermaker Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I love the way you painted them! Very nice conversions too! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151449-shrikes-wing/#findComment-1863620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF151 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I love em too but I got a question? Why is the bolters painted green? Is that common? or just a variance you liked FF Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151449-shrikes-wing/#findComment-1863637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todosi Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 The bolter color just sits well with me. I figure when they repainted their armor on Jemadahl, they'd repaint the bolters too.

natsirtm Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 liking the RT001 beakie heads. am using a couple in each squad of my space sharks for variation since they are all beakies (can check them out in my blog). they look great all painted up.
