Zsoulless Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Thanks everyone! as for the Sorcerer I chopped him up shortly after I Posted painted pics of him.. the paint job was really sub-par IMO.. Ok after screwing up a Mold I did of a few converted heads and Practicing different gold recipes over and over Ive decided just to jump in and start converting and painting each one.. there are only 27 Marines in the lot and besides giving each one a little individual character will help the over all look ((I hope)) http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4198.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4201.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4202.jpg So heres the first One.. I think I have a good grasp of the over all feel now.. I start converting 2-3 at a time now..

wokkers Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 this army is coming along nicely. i really like the blue -> purple transition. i must admit that i am not entirely sure about the plain metal backpack. i feel that it takes away from the awesome blend on the model itself. have you tried a purple backpack?

Sons of Horus Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 i'm wondering how do you do that transition so nicely ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Thousand Sons are a much brighter blue than Ultramarines (Enchanted Blue vs Ultramarines Blue) and their gold is more yellowish (Burnished Gold rather than Shining Gold). Night Lords are Regal Blue and more of a copper trim. All three armies use the same basic scheme but different enough to be fairly recognizable even if painted on a basic Marine.

Zsoulless Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 gee thanks.. Anyhow.. @wokkers: Thanks for the Constructive criticisms! I was trying to keep the Packs separate But I understand what your saying.. If I continued the fade the packs would end up Pink.. Ill play around with it and see what i come up with. @Sons of Horus: I used a wet pallet((tupper-ware container with a damp paper towel in it)) I started with Liche purple, then lightly added enchanted blue, then added ultra marines blue.. then i highlighted my blues with ice blue and my purple with tentacle pink..

Zsoulless Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Working on Tzeentch Marine #2 He still needs some touch up/gun/pack/base... But I wanted to show you the left to right fade.. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4204.jpghttp://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4203.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4205.jpg Im still set on Back to front fades for the whole of my force but I think a few of these will really make my army pop.. C&C is always welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 very nice fading as usual :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 :blink: that side to side looks realy good and a combo of both side-side and front-back fade would IMHO make the army realy stand out and original.Cant wait to see more of you conversions and finished stuff.

Danny Cyanide Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Changng the fade direction might be a nice way to mark squads. Squad 1 - Front to back Squad 2 - Blue left to purple right Squad 3 - Purple left to blue right Squad 4 - Blue top to purple bottom Squad 5 - Purple top to blue bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DextrousWombat Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Oh thats a good idea from Danny Cyanide it would make the army jump up at you. Looking good so far, the fading is great. -Petey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsoulless Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Well.... long time no see.. Ive been yelled at for not working on this project. I took a break from this to play with NMM because I really didnt like how the golds were turning out.. Ive also figured out one or two tricks as well.. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4574.jpghttp://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4576.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4577.jpghttp://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4578.jpg not perfect Yet.. But all in all its getting closer.. ((I still need highlights on the gold in the back, but I'm still working on darker transitions for that..)) Anyhow.. Tell me what you think.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 That looks really great man. Can you explain the process you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil eyeball Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 If you don't mind I'm going to steal your blend for use in my upcomming Daemons of Tzeentch force which should play alongside my thousand sons perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsoulless Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Can you explain the process you used? For the gold? Sure.. Its all pretty simple just a brush and wet pallet(IE: rubbermaid container lined with a paper towel, just add water) First Vermin Brown, shade with Ogryn flesh, highlight with snakebite leather, then with 50/50 snakebite leather & golden yellow, then Bubonic Brown, Then 50/50 Bubonic Brown and Skull white, and a few spots I hit the very edge with skull white. If you don't mind I'm going to steal your blend No need to ask... Just Steal Away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I really like this new paint scheme better. Vast improvement. This army if completed should look pretty rad. Reminds me of marines that could be Merlins personal guards, which is a good direction IMO. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I like it. I may paint another Tzeentch guy... Shh don't tell anyone. ;-) It would be my third ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedric Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 These blue shfting to purple guys are some of the most beautiful regular marines I've seen here. Great work! I wish I had any idea of how NMM works, will have to find myself a tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
