khairney Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 well, iv been butchering together a 1500 point sally list so i can hopefully get back in to the swing of gaming. but i thought id share my slow and painful progress of desecrating these once great models. i don t get on the net often, so it may take a while between updates. my sternguard searg, hes pretty much finished, he just needs the banner on his backpack but on again. and the backback to be painted. ( i hate sallies having black packpacks, imo, it looks out of place. mine are green with black mantle and exhausts. dont whinge to me saying its wrong, i know it is. i just prefer it that way.) http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/khairney/shizz010.jpg iv decided to take the second picture off... its too face meltingly ugly. but it will go back on after more work.

Wolf89 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The gold, dark green and purple eyes work together very nively! I agree and am thinking about doing the same for my sallies, it just looks beutiful. The only thing that's bothering me (I could care less about the backpacks :ermm: ) is the exposure of metal on the right foot... ugh paint it now! :mellow: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152009-sallies/#findComment-1769485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
khairney Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 haha, yeah, the right foot is really pissing me off, i live in a flat with a communial outdoors are and <DELETED BY THE INQUISITION> ventilation, so i cant spray my models to undercoat em, its all done ith brush, which tends to chip at the drop of a hat Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152009-sallies/#findComment-1769498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplainmikey Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Looks awesome,love the shade of the green and the higlights are great. The purple eyes are a nice touch too,never really thought of doing marine lenses purple,but it works. Shame about not being able to spray undercoat.

khairney Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 ayee, well... i spend alot of time doing nothing, and it often leads to me doing weird and interesting things. like this attempt at putting reasonable blood onto a knife, without actualy using my own blood. here. enjoy. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/khairney/DSCF0418.jpg and another sternguard. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/khairney/DSCF0417.jpg on a personel note, never, ever try and quit smoking. its hellish.

Sigismund's Fury Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Whats your green/flame recipe I myself are also putting together a sally army and and using this for some inspiration, as for the foundation paints its a hit or miss the orkhide doesn't really like to be thinned down with water it tends to pool at the top making it a pain every time you reload your brush. But it does blend quite well with some Snot green making base coating somewhat easier Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152009-sallies/#findComment-1781769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
khairney Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 the green is just many, many layers of snot green over a black undercoat, highlight the raised armour bits with scorpion green, attack it with 2 healthy coats of green wash, then black wash in the recesses. thats about it... its not difficult at all, but it looks purty. the flames are... err... basecoated with bleached bone, then blood red, then blend the blood red to blazing orange, then blend the orange it to golden yellow, and leave a teeny bit of bleached bone showing at the bottom of the yellow. @wolf 89, i know, i only realised how bad it was after i posted the picture! soon, hopefully, there will be a shot of all the models i have so far, which aint alot! 2 tac squads, dreadnought, 5 sternguard, captain, command squad... thats it i think! but in the nearish fiture, il be getting myself a redeemer, and a vindicator. yay.
