wiplash Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 i dont like telions cloak as much as the others tbh :S other than that astounding as usual how will you be basing them? or will you be cooking something up with your S!CK painting skillz EDIT~: oh wait are they blue tacked to the base or glued? some seem to be tacked down? whats the air intake on the bonet of the jetbike and the coils behind it from?

Starks333 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 telions cloak and the snipers cloaks have been touched up, the snipers got more yellowed, and telions got more greyed they are pinned, and glued, the jetbike itself is just stuck in for easier transport i can remove it the jetbike uses only jetbike parts(and servo arms) the rest is sculpting work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks333 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 its the same style painting as the rest, its just the colour choice that changes the result imnot sure what i used exactly, likey a combination of dwarf flesh, elf flesh and english uniform VMC...add a redish colour(dakr flesh, hull red VMC, red gore etc) to redden aroud nose and brow and on the cheeks....a stronger yellowish hue on the sides of the temple and sides of the mouth, highlight is by adding white and iraqui sand VMC likely I rushed some of the other faces so they arent as tanned feeling, but that was the objective with these guys and why i yellowed their skin more the colours themselves dont matter, they just change the skin colour, the placement is what matters, need ideas? look at pictures of faces! :) thats where I figured it all out, well that and real life of course Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 The rest of the marines :) airbrushing complete, now its finishing em up!! http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/000_1737.jpg Some more progress... im debating the style for his freehand, im leaning towards top right, right now anyways its going quite fast, it doesnt even feel like ive painted for 6 hours yet and i already almost have most of them done...basically a few details, skin and line and wash the green :) oh and likely add a brighter highlight, i am runnig out of my highlight colour so couldnt get the right mix when airbrushing http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/000_1744.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/test00.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/000_1745.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/000_1746.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Loring Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 These marines are amazing! I'm still a little confused about you technique though. Basecoat(brown), hairspary to hold salt on, airbrush (green/turquoise), piant and highlight, wash off salt and hiarspray. Is that correct?? This may seem really stupid but how do you do about washing off the salt and hairspray?? Dunking them in water would surely ruin the paint a bit and I don't think brushing would quite work??? Incredible job though. They look so original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible job though. They look so original. hairspray....water....or water+future floor wax to adhere the salt...aim for the smaller granule of salt spray brown, apply salt, spray green...spray highlight, washed the salt all off, and then hand painted as for washing, you actually do dip them under water briefly, or run the toothbrush under water and scrub your models....sometimes the salt will get stuck on so you may have to rub a couple times to get it off...let them dry off ni between and you will see the salt stains at times to rub again, or see some bumps Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha PTP Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have to try that salt technique. I wonder if I could get away with doing it with just basic spray paint rather than investing with an airbrush. Seeing as how I have no money since I'm a college student. Hell, I don't even know if I have time for painting. Getting rid of the girlfriend is always a possibility... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use my airbrush for basic bascoating, and I picked it up, along with my compressor (water trap, gauge/regulator, AND air tank) for about $110 CDN.

DV8 A good buddy of mine was talking about how he picked up a really nice airbrush. He also talked about getting a compressor from Home Depot. I have over a company's worth of marines that I'd like to paint. I'm sick of painting my old army, and I really want to paint a nice looking army quickly. Its either airbrushing or drybrushing.

Starks333 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 And the captain is done, ive also finished the 3 scouts and last sternguard, no pics of them yet.... only 5 termies and raider left!! http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5935.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5936.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5938.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Loring Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 The free-hand cloak is absolutely superb. I really can not get over how good these marines are. Every time I come back to this post I'm absolutely amazed! I really want to have a go on that salting technique, but unfortunately painting templars. Do you think it would work with tin bitz/gunmetal as base coats, salting and black over the top??? Please keep us posted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The salting technique will work with any color, just ensure sufficient contrast between your under/basecoat and your overcoat. DV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 blah photobucket hates me!!!! curse them.....as for the salt technique, as DV8 mentioned, it works with any colour...for silvers its a bit tricky because they are very intense, what i recommend is to do a wash of devlan mud over the silver...let it dry, then pply the salt, then apply the black...the wash will tone it down enough that it will look both less ridiculous, and slightly worn....if you find large spots a bit too blah, you can take a graphite pencil and apply highlights to the silver "chipping" in places....make sure that if you choose the pencil route to seal your models with dullcoat after or it will rub off...alternatively, you should be able to use hairspray as well if you choose to highlight with paint, use a boltgun+mithril mix so its not too intense...the ending effect may not be what you desire, so test it out before you go and do your whole army, my ideas may not convey well to your techniques or your ideas, so the end result may be different in my mind then what you end up with alternatively, you could use two colours for the underlayers to gain a bit more contrast or variation...its an extra layer to spray on, but you may like the result Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
