Peck Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Just a quick update: I've started a thread in the WiP forum about a Dreadnought I'm working on. Please check it out and leave any thoughts! Also, for a Chapter name, what do people think of The Tempest Ardour or something like that?

Ryno Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think that's a fine name. Tempest and Ardour go pretty well together I'd say, definition-wise. Nice choice.

OwenCrute Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 The Love-storm? I doubt that's the true meaning, but it could be construed that way- I certainly did. Your painting style is very unique- you seem to paint the whole model from light to dark, as opposed to, say, LunchBox, who highlights each plate individually, or most of us Regular Joes, who just clap on a highlight and say it's good enough, or even myself, who sits behind a Viva Metallica or monotone paintjob to avoid difficulty. In any case, I like it. Now, for the name... Pyrofactors? Cerebrus Warriors?

PirateRogue Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 And to wrap this post up, a work-inprogress shot of Sergeant Elvgrin; my first attempt at "converting." I haven't sworn at a piece of plastic as much as I did trying to swap that hand around. he's going to be holding an auspex in the other, so I've got to twist the wrist around make his thumb grasping it. Also got to find a way to get a helmeted head into that collar. Any tips are appretiated! Thanks for looking! If you search the PCA section for champions there was a thread recently about that chest peice and what heads go in it. I can't remember any more than that. I used it and ended up with my figures head looking into the sky like he's looking up at something.

MillardFlemming Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 You said you hated flat black, and I do too. How would you go about using your technique on black armor? I'm not sure what woul work. Also, props for combining TF2 and 40k. I love both, and I was like "YES!" when I saw the pyro picture. :devil: I checked the nought too, everything you got looks great. Just don't get bored, finish the army!!!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161203-the-start-of-my-army/page/2/#findComment-1930285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 The Love-storm Haha! Hell, I'd make another chapter called that anyway if it didn't eat up so much time and money. Ardour had the double meaning of not only intense heat and fire, but also refering to extreme devoution. I figured that befitted a Space Marine fairly well. I'll just have to hope that people don't miss-interperate it as passion and all that icky love stuff, eh? Your painting style is very unique- you seem to paint the whole model from light to dark... Yeah, I think it gives a good appearance of a light source this way. Plus I like gradients. You said you hated flat black, and I do too. How would you go about using your technique on black armor? Well I wouldn't say I hate flat black, just that it's not really a good idea. For my blacks bits, like the Marines' torsos and shoulder rims et cetera, I just use a really dark grey, i.e. Shadow Grey mixed with black; maybe a quarter or a third of that being Shadow. After a wash of Delvan Mud I highlight it up to a shade that's almost pure Shadow Grey. The bags and things get even lighter to straight Shadow Grey to Shadow Grey mixed with Bleached Bone. This is to give the illusion that they're a softer, leathery texture compared to the Power Armour. I use Shadow Grey specifically because it's a cool grey and contrasts well with the reds to cool things down a bit. For a mostly-black model it may be worth experimenting between a cool grey, neautral grey (Like Codex Grey) or a warmer grey (maybe Codex with a dash of brown tossed in?).

Fire Lord Captain Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 How about Igneus Excessum Legion?
