Chapter Master Kanithon Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hi, Ages ago I posted a topic about me painting my White Templars, just look something like this: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00174.jpg I've got better at painting them but painting white is really boring and dull and I want some colour. Now, I'm a big fan of Rogal Dorn so I'm thinking of starting another army from his Gene-Seed. This is my try on the Imperial Fists: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00172.jpg What'cha think? I have a few chapters that I'd like to do that aren't from Dorn's Gene-Seed, I've made enough spears to make a few tactical squads of Iron Snakes. I've got a lot of robed bodies lying around to start the Guardians Of the Covenant. What I really want, is persuading. If you were to suggest me a chapter and show me the scheme I'd have a go at it and we could see what happens from there... =] Thanks, your help would really be appreciated.

Master Kashnizel Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The first model isn't great but it's not terrible. You should go over certain spots and fix up a few things to make it look cleaner. The second model seems to be very chipped. I would go over it one more time with white spray and then 4-5 thin layers of yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherDamascus Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 agreed, though the 'chipping' seems intentional - note how it isnt on the most raised surfaces, but in planned places hope i guessed right XD at any rate, its a really well pained yellow, i'd like to see him finished :) <<Damascus>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_bunny Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 It also appears to be painted on, hmm do we think this may be battle damage? :D he looks great, your painting looks like it has improved from the white templar :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 It also appears to be painted on, hmm do we think this may be battle damage That would be correct, I wanted him to appear he's been it battle for a while, I like the whole idea of the marines in mid combat type thing. =] he looks great, your painting looks like it has improved from the white templar Thank you :) That white templar is about 2/3 years old now. I may have to show you a newer one. whereas the Imperial fist is about 2 weeks old. at any rate, its a really well pained yellow, i'd like to see him finished I'll try my hardest to get him finished in the next week or so, depending how lazy I am Kanithon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Kanithon Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Right, I've been a busy little bee and have tried out a few colour schemes: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00216-1.jpg http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00220.jpg http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00225.jpg http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00228.jpg http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00230.jpg http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00233.jpg http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00238.jpg What'cha all thing? P.S for your interest, a newer White Templar that's in the works: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/Space%20Marines/DSC00242.jpg C&C would be cool, Thanks Kanithon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Use a white undercoat on your white templars. You're putting on way too much white to try to get coverage. To paint light on black needs a lot of patience and build up through mid tones (or get hold of some of the foundation paints - they're very good and save quite a few coats). To my eye the uber-thick paint is really ugly. Also try to pay a bit more attention to cleanup and prep - those mould lines and venting threads are ugly. Spending 10 minutes per fig on cleanup will save hours of work later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I tried using a white undercoat but I didn't like the results. I like to think that these are good, apparently I was wrong >.< And about the mould lines, these models that i've used to test out colour schemes were on my desk being ready to get cleaned up but I wanted to try some schemes so I went ahead and sprayed them. I'll clean them up later. Sorry About that, Kanithon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Kashnizel Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I like the 3rd and 6th colour schemes a lot. I thought that the paint was chipped because you put battle damage on one of his purity seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Your beige has worked out nicely, the other's haven't IMHO. As spotted earlier, your white needs some underlayer, or at least keep the layers thinner. Plus, coverage on the models isn't the best. There's room for improvement here, make sure you get them looking good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, Lysanders still not finished, I'm working on him right now. Plus, coverage on the models isn't the best. Yeah, I can see that now, I guess at the time I was just excited about getting the paint on the models. I'll go back and make the colours better if I decide to go that way. They're all a bit rushed as it stands. I think it's just because I'm a lazy painter which isn't really that good to be honest, as you can see with my white marines. I like the bottom red marine and the orange marine the most personally, but I can't decide. I think I need more persuading.. Hubernator...I've always liked your phantoms... Kanithon.

CaptainForge Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 White is an extremely tough color to paint over a black undercoat. You should consider painting a thin layer of maybe a flesh/white mix before applying white. Otherwise I suggest that any of the bright colors like red, white, yellow be painted over a white undercoat. I like the purple marine and the orange marine. Only two I see you have a problem with is the white and bone? colors. On the red and a couple of others it looks like you might have applied red ink? or wash. Those are tricky applications and can make your paint finish look mottled. Try just applying it only in the areas you want to reveal recesses. Otherwise you will have to go back over some areas with your primary color and that will add thickness. I know the pains of painting red, white, and yellows.

Dreams of Contempt Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I love the beige(?) Marine. Infact, What are the colors/what colors mixed did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think I need more persuading.. *prods you with a stick* Paint boy! :o Hubernator...I've always liked your phantoms... thanks heartily <_< *decides not to plug WIP thread* :D Keep going with these, if you get to grips with layers and practise then these'll turn out great :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thanks for all the comments guys =] How did you paint the blue marine? The Blue was a basecoat of regal blue A drybrush of enchanted blue then a wash of Asurmen blue I don't like the blue though, the lighter colour is too obvious, I'm going to try that one again i think. i really like the purple marine with the white shoulder pad, is good stuff. would look tight as an army That's my attempt at Soul Drinkers. I really like there colour and I the history... I think I could get it to work =] I like the purple marine and the orange marine Yay, Someone finally likes the Orange marines. I even tried to do highlights on that one =/ I love the beige(?) Marine. Infact, What are the colors/what colors mixed did you use? It was a white undercoat, which I sprayed then a wash of that Sepia wash then a few light drybrushes of bone. Hope that helps *prods you with a stick* Paint boy Even that didn't work, I've modelled some tactical squads to paint for the LPC but I still can't decide on a scheme =[ I've also done lysanders cloak now, that's about it >.< Kanithon.

Personally I like the beige scheme you've done. By the way is this a DIY Chapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 yeah, It will be a DIY. I've decided to repaint all of my white templars to different chapters and then come back, buy brand new models and take time over them and stun you all with the slowness of my painting because normally I like to get things painted fastt as you can probably see from my ubove marines =/ Kanithon.
