reckoning Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I love that bolter firing model. I need to hurry up and paint mine. Another awesome job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgottenAngel Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I hear ya man about the muzzle flashes. Very hard to get right and would probably take away from the diorama than add to it. I honestly like the script not being on the armored part of the bike. It just doesn't feel right when I picture it. The clean lines allow you to see the embossing without making it too busy. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadskær Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hey Guys, Thanks for voicing your opinions and adding praise :-) Just a few new shots today of two models I posted earlier. But this time, they are on their new, and proper, bases, also from Scibor. /vadskær http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1422_zpsceb9276f.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1432_zpsbf4c8396.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1436_zpsa8b6ee8f.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1440_zps0cb23c28.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1446_zpsde09ef6a.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1449_zpse7727417.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 You know what I thought when I saw that first Deathwing Terminator? Has an 'Eavy Metal hijacked your thread? :teehee: I still don't like the bases, but the models are gorgeous. What can we expect next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 That diorama is so great - not just because the painting is top notch (it really is) but because of the story telling ... Wow vadskaer - just wow! Also, love the Termies (the Consecrators one especially ;)) but not a fan of scribor bases... sorry! Keep 'em coming!

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 My only criticism is fix the Deathwing's powerfist arm, it's a bit too low. Otherwise, the diorama was pretty freaking awesome (the vials on the bike and the customization on the apothecary were particularly nice touches) and please, please please make more stuffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgottenAngel Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 How did you do those thin thin lines?!?! The green lines on the deathwing is awesome and the laser thin highlights on the consecrator is unreal! How did you do those thin thin lines?!?!

Vadskær Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hey Guys! First up - as always your C&C is much appreciated. Also, just because you like what I do and paint, don't hesitate to post suggestions and/or critique. I need to stay sharp and improve further. As an example, Dark Apostle Thirst posted a comment about the power fist-arm on my DW termie. Yes, from behind it looks as if it's placed too low, but when viewed from the front the two arms are aligned. I know some of you aren't that keen on the Scibor bases. is it the Ancient Ruins theme, or just their work in general? Regarding the thin lines (highlights and decorative) it is mainly a combination of the following: 1. Thinned paints - moreso on the decorative trim, where the colour is built up through a couple of layers 2. Correct mistakes. Yes, I make a lot of them, and never get all my highlights that sharp in the first go. I then use the basecoat and go back and sharpen them up. Lather, rinse, repeat ;-) 3. Patience. Next up will be a Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard - but not in the traditional Gold color. /vadskær Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Even from the front you can tell it is lower - it's just not as noticeable from that angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I generally dislike Scibor products, but I really don't like the Ancient Ruin bases. That said, it's your army, base it using whatever you want :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexenes Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Wow, Vadskaer. Your work is stunning and inspiring. I don't know how I missed this thread until now, but I just sat and read the whole thing from the beginning. I can't wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cylu Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I know some of you aren't that keen on the Scibor bases. is it the Ancient Ruins theme, or just their work in general? For me, it's their height. Some of the scenic bases out there increase the height of the model by almost double. Just looks silly when I see a unit taking cover behind an Aegis Line (as an example) which barely covers their toes because the models are on tall bases. Or my models are assaulting the enemy's ankles. As display pieces they're amazing. Gaming pieces? Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadskær Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Good evening Chaps! Thanks for your comments and your opinions regarding bases and what not. Cylu, I agree, as gaming pieces, they are way over-the-top! :-) Hexenes, thanks for stopping by and having the patience to read through all 26 pages. I hope you become a regular visitor amongst the other fine Gents who frequent this topic. Dark Apostle Thirst: yes, I went back and did some measuring. The shoulders are not aligned :-) Alright, enough chatter - time for something new. I present to you my take on a Blood Angels Sanguiniary Guard on touch-down on a battlefield ready for combat. The Missus was a bit put off by his grip of the sword though. "That's no way to hold a sword, why's he doing that?" We agreed, that maybe it was a noob initiate who wasn't really sure on how to use that fine power-stick ;-) Anywho, I really enjoyed painting the red/white combination. If you recall, I did a more traditional gold colored scheme earlier in this blog, so I wanted to try something else this time. The green gems and eyes offer a nice contrast to the more dominating colors. Enjoy! /vadskær http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1483_zps845b51fa.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1468_zpsbda9a114.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1471_zps25e67d66.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1476_zps20c8769b.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1479_zps547c45ea.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quixus Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Very nicely done! The red looks great but does not say Sanguinary guard IMHO. This could just as well be a captain/VV with a power sword and a non-standard bolt pistol. Disregard that last part if the rank and file is not red or at least a different shade of red. And yeah your wife is right, that is no way to hold a sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadskær Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 Good evening Chaps :-) Whoa, it took me a full month to finish the project showcased below, but I've been swamped in work and also took a couple of small vacations. So there has really been way to little time to paint. As stated above, my new diorama is a snap-shot of an imminent and quite bloody engagement - two Dark Eldar Vyches charging a determined and ready Blood Angels Terminator. Yes, violence will ensue for sure. The diorama was a pleasure to paint, and I really like how the models complement each other in pose and movement. I'm certainly planning more Dark Eldar vs. Marine dioramas in the future. For those of you who are interested the base is from Secret Weapon Miniatures. Enjoy and have a brilliant summer :-) /vadskær Please note - there may be duplicate pictures, but the focus shifts from Terminator to Vyches. http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1488_zps8431949e.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1492_zps9b08dcbf.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1496_zpsb0fb9fba.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1499_zpsf703c0a7.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1504_zps42715a31.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1510_zps965550b2.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1514_zpsa4a48e89.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1521_zpsb0ca2dd6.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1526_zps4364ae76.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1530_zps34cd3ae5.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1535_zps0dc69936.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1543_zps5fc1edb9.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1548_zps325a0d61.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1552_zpsb21feaa6.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t410/vadskaer/IMG_1557_zpsf4f85c6e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
