Exhumed Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good! I think you should paint the bolters differently however. Give them a black casing. All silver boltguns look poo. Otherwise nice stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_shrike Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I like the red how did you achieve it? Gives me a pretty good indication of what my Iron Lords could look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedwin183 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I know they aren't molded to look "cool" or at least not as "cool" as the newer models, but I have a major soft spot for old models. I have a friend with half and army full of unpainted 1st ed marines. They are just so charming...and small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graypaint Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Good! I think you should paint the bolters differently however. Give them a black casing. All silver boltguns look poo. Otherwise nice stuff. I don't really like having colored bolter casings. I think black might have worked, but then they are just too dark. I did sort of botch a few of the bolters and need to go back and either bring them all up to a brighter finish or darken them all back down. I like the red how did you achieve it? Gives me a pretty good indication of what my Iron Lords could look like The red probably took the longest. I used Vallejo game color and more or less just got a nice even coat, then shaded around the armor plates with a very dilute purple, layering it all up. I then hit the higher points with some yellow, which was a major pain in the ass to layer, and I botched several times. I know they aren't molded to look "cool" or at least not as "cool" as the newer models, but I have a major soft spot for old models. I have a friend with half and army full of unpainted 1st ed marines. They are just so charming...and small. I agree, I have some old RT marines as well, the problem is that they just stick out like a sore thumb compared to newer plastics and AoBR marines. I even think that the Sgt. is too short compared to the AoBR marines. I sort of feel like it's cheating to use the smaller older rhinos because they are easier to hide behind cover, on the other hand, I don't really want to pay more than I need to and I use about five of them...
