Thranquil Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Evening all. Having finished Brothers of the Snake yesterday I felt the urge to try my hand at an Iron Snakes squad. After a days quick painting heres the semi-finished result. (apologies for the lighting of the photos - still trying to figure out the new camera!) The squad - as yet un-named http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn3/Thranquil/P1000017.jpg Sergeant http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn3/Thranquil/P1000011.jpg Iron Snake Marine http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn3/Thranquil/P1000010.jpg As an added bonus... some pics of other recent works. Stone Condors (a WIP that may get shelved in favour of the Iron Snakes) http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn3/Thranquil/P1000012.jpg And my take on Grey Knights (and inspiration for the above colour scheme) Grey Knights http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn3/Thranquil/P1000014.jpg Grey Knight http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn3/Thranquil/P1000015.jpg Justicar http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn3/Thranquil/P1000016.jpg So... yeah. Any thoughts? Advice? Thranquil Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155345-iron-snakes-and-other-works/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertsjf Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Metal seems a bit dark but that could be the lighting. Also, white knee pad? Other than that, good job!

Thranquil Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 The knee pad is going to be chequered (black n white) - no real reason... just feel like it! And the metal is a bit dark on the Iron Snakes - although lighter than in the pics. It was a simple Chaos Black Undercoat -> Boltgun Metal -> Badab Black Wash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155345-iron-snakes-and-other-works/#findComment-1814111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I like the scheme and they seem to be coming along nicely. One photo trick when dealing with sub par lighting is to pull the camera back away from the model and use the flash from distance. But obviously still zoom in to get the model cleanly in the photo. That way the pic isn't blinded by a flash and the color is over exposed. If you want some serious awesome inspiration for an iron snake check out Nano's: http://www.coolminiornot.com/index/whatm/GW/id/201297 Looking forward to more. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155345-iron-snakes-and-other-works/#findComment-1814165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thranquil Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Thanks for the photo tip! Will try tht out next time.... after reading the instructions to find the flash function! That certainly is an inspiring model! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155345-iron-snakes-and-other-works/#findComment-1814189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
