wiplash Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 are you going to make the colours flatter rather than metalic in the end?

THE FATED FITH Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Really liking the way you have taken someone elses scheme and adapted it for differnt colours. It is looking great so far,looking forward to more T.F.F Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152092-never-guess-what-i-have/page/2/#findComment-1773537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ompfris Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 are you going to make the colours flatter rather than metalic in the end? They are gonna stay metalic, and almost all the metal that isnt armour will be gold! I figure its just a display peice, I cant use it in a game or anything (my new paper weight) Little painting update Extra washes on the flag - I thought its a battle and the flag has been on the floor it would be dirty so a massive splash of black ink Highlights on the Dark Angel's robe Pouches and Grenades are started I found this online aswell - what its ment to look like.... mine is gonna be darker, I feel that is far to shiney for battle ground :) http://www.solegends.com/citle/citle2000/Skulz/_mg_2146.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152092-never-guess-what-i-have/page/2/#findComment-1774293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomsly Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 found the same set of pictures ;) i had the same plans to you about washing it to be metalic and using it for a paper wieght, spooker eh?

True Thorn Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Soldiers planting flags on battlefields isn't a US only thing, so I'm gonna go ahead and say that perhaps Marines planting a flag, may have its own, Canon reasons behind it. :nuke: Unless of course lots of the US army happened to be wearing Power Armour at the time... :huh: (unless the things name is actually the Iwo Jima Space Marine Diorama, in which case i have some apologizing to do :nuke: ) And is it my imagination or does that example flag seem...

OwenCrute Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Given the Dark Angel's mistrust of EVERYTHING (:nuke:), it looks to me as if he's trying to take it away... DA: Back you generic fiend! Avast, ye space vampire! The overly-sealed flag is MINE! MINE I SAY! Hehe :nuke: Very nice model, and can't wait to see how you paint it.

So..we should compromise, and go with ignorance. =-D I don't think its called the Iwo Jima diorama..thatd be funny, and the test pic is backwards, and us DA don't talk like pirates. =-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152092-never-guess-what-i-have/page/2/#findComment-1775106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomsly Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 if anyone has one of these spare could you give me a pm please ;) and looking at the flag it looks backwards, unless its mega windy then it would blow where it wants <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152092-never-guess-what-i-have/page/2/#findComment-1776374 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Loken Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Aah yeah the poison beer I've had that many times. You'd think the pubs would get a handle on it wouldn't you? ha ha Anyway, thats coming on nice. I'll admit to being a bit sceptical about the washes but I was wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I was asking my 'dumb question' to see if this is depicting an actual specific 40k event in established fluff... not just some armies putting up a flag which I think is evident from the pictures. Now once again is this any specific scene from the 40k universe or is it just some guys from three different chapters putting up a flag?

Battle-Captain Garro Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hey Ompfris, I really really like the way you've painted those marines. Sorry to sound arty but it's a great interpretation of classic chapter colour schemes, great work! Oh and would you look at that, it's Beer o'clock :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152092-never-guess-what-i-have/page/2/#findComment-1787073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now once again is this any specific scene from the 40k universe or is it just some guys from three different chapters putting up a flag? the original painting guide for SM back in Rogue Trader days had a very similar image on the front, though they were in beaky armour and the DA was a Salamander.

Lion in the Stars Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I don't know of any specific instance that it's supposed to be reflecting, but it's a great image, especially if you shift to the Great Crusade.

Starks333 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 maybe its just me, but why would you spend so much or use such a hard to find piece, and just launch paint on it...those washes look quite terrible in puddles you might as well of just dipped the pieces...you had such a great opportunity to try something new as an aside from an army...but instead you just rushed it and now it looks pretty....well, awful it looks like you spent all of 10 minutes painting the piece so far not trying to insult anyone, but i just dont get the whole "lets paint everything in 10 mins" approach *** especially with limitied editions, or models bought for their "coolness" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152092-never-guess-what-i-have/page/2/#findComment-1787363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
