skarekrow Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 its been long since i last posted anything here it seems, well ive been studying and stuff, but i also painted some stuff. this is a wip of my scouts, they are soon to be done and will probably not see anymore pics here but in the finished section. cheers http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/scouts-wip.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarekrow Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 so, i finished the scouts and havent got any decent pics now, but i took these they could perhaps stir up some comments? scouts led by Telion: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/scouts-2.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/scouts-1.jpg enjoy.

Midnightmare Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Wow man, you got skills! Love the guy crouching behind the ruin.

Ashen-Shugar Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Its always nice to see an update on this thread. The freehand is what really sets this army apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grokkit Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Do you think that you would be able to do a tutorial on how to paint like a marine and do all the freehand stuff that you do? 'Cause that would be soooo awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarekrow Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 ashen shugar: thanks dude. well the freehand will not be missed on the vindicator when its done, nor the chaplain which has had his cloth painted.....pics soon. grokkit: well a fullblown tutorial is a big thing to do but....theres always a but, i did do this quickie tut on freehand painting: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/DSC01100.jpg i used a dark purple and bleached bone and some black for this. all you really need is to observe stuff irl and get the brush-handling you need to transfer it onto minis. using shades and light to create volume and texture is all about learning i guess. im a lifetime painter/drawing dude and i had 3 years of art school so perhaps listening to my crap isnt always the best thing since it almost comes naturally for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarekrow Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 i just remembered i did this kind of tutorial for another forum once and used a chaos mini. i will repost the pics here and some quick stuff about whats going on....hopefully this can be called a tutorial of sorts... http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-1.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-2.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-3.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-4.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-5.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-6.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-7.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-8.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-9.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/csm-10.jpg i never finished the mini sadly, but thats the way things are i guess....enjoy if you can cheers http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-1.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-2.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-3.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-4.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-5.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-6.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-7.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-8.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-9.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/huron-10.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarekrow Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 so, i havent painted anything since the comp a couple of weeks ago, so i started painting again today, i started my termie libby and the freehand on the drop pod is it ok? http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/drop-pod-wip-1-1.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/drop-pod-wip-2-1.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/drop-pod-wip-3.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/drop-pod-wip-4.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/librarian-wip-1.jpg and an overview of what i own for this army so far: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/arme.jpg cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grokkit Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Wow nice army mate! Do I see some dark angel vets used as sternguard in the back ground? I guess we think alike <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarekrow Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 sons of erebus: thanks mate, its all about practice really, not that hard once you find a way that works. Grokkit: yes they are, perfect for the job aswell since theres a ton of weapons in the box... Tyron: i dont think it has been asked so no prob. the bone coloured armour is: P3 menoth white base which recieves a wash of P3 umbral umber, this is then cleanes up with menoth white base, highlighted with GW bleached bone and then finally bleached bone and white. the scratches were made with umbral umber and then hilited with pure white. the black armour is: a special blend of black, P3 umbral umber and a bit of GW codex grey, this gives the mix the appearance of being black but when you look at it with something truly black besides it you see that its a bit lighter. this mix then is hilited by mixing in some fortress grey in 2-3 lighter shades. scratches are painted on using pure black and a fortress grey hilite. skin: P3 khardic flesh shaded with GW catachan green and then cleaned up with khardic flesh again, for the highlight i use Rackhams pearly flesh which is a pinkish very bright colour, this is mixed with khardic flesh for 3-4 highlights until its pure pearly flesh, then i do 2 more higlights using pearly flesh and white. NMM metals: the base is P# ironhull grey which is then shaded using umbral umber, clean that up with ironhull grey and then use fortress grey mixed with it for highlights up to pure fortress grey, then just add sharp highlights using pure white. the Yellow parts: the base is actually just P3 khardic flesh which gets some highlights by adding Rackham Lahn yellow up to pure yellow, this then gets a splash of white in it for the last highlight. hope that helps some?? well, the reason for me finally returning to this minipainting blog is that GW stockholm is going to celebrate its 10 year anniversary this month and since i got second place in the army painting competition this summer i have an invitation to compete in a special class with it, but it has to be 1000-1500 points strong and at its current painted size its only about 600 points. to remedy this i have started to complete the vindicator and the drop pod and also added the libby to the painting list, but yesterday i got the final stuff that i needed, they were made of red plastic and they got some filing and scraping before i started painting them today.... here are 2 out of the five: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g93/dennis_ostlund/SH-termies-wip-1.jpg ignore the pinkish shades, theyre just undercoated, oh and these are very wip... cheers and thanks to all of you who keep encouraging me with all these nice comments, if i ever see you i´ll get you a beer.

Semnos Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Skarekrow, On the Space Hulk Terminators, how did you seperate them from their plastic bases? Did you just use a saw? I want to rebase mine instead of just having them "stand on" plastic. Also, anything to watch out for when I do this? thanks. Semnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to rebase mine instead of just having them "stand on" plastic. Also, anything to watch out for when I do this? thanks. Semnos actually i didnt, the basing material/technique i use for this army is so forgiving and hides them pretty well. i covered them with my "basing goo", a mix of PVA/White glue and sand from the kids sandbox. this also adds volume to the base. if i was to remove them i would cut off as much as possible and then file down the parts underneath their feet.
