Burias-Drak'shal Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hello guys. I joined this site to give my painting a kickstart. I have many models unpainted and Im trying to change that. Anyway on to Calgar- Ive got to this point and Im wondering whether it would look reasonable to have more gold on the bolters and feed to signify its a one off type of item or would this be to much. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/f68e204d.jpg http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/7e806a3d.jpg Any C& C Welcome as I also joined this site to improve my painting. P.S Sorry about the photos it was a first attempt. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fausto2071 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I think adding more gold should be fine, or at least a very light colored brass, for photos use the macro (has a flower symbol) for models because it picks out detail Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-1963981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naysmith Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 i recommend to use gold for adornments and a more martial color for weapons. cya Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-1964591 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burias-Drak'shal Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi guys. This is part of what I was working on yesterday. Still needs alot of work done. Just wondering if you think the shield colours work. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/dbc832b8.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-1975299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Just started parting up my Iron Warriors. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/071.jpg Heres the first batch basecoated and washed, and theres another 25 at the same stage. Now just debating on whether to go gold or bronze on the trim on the armour Hmmm? Anyone got any ideas what would look best?

Replica Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Heres some more of my work of late. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/Space%20Marines/d39441b8.jpg These look pretty good mate, the shade of gray and the yellow compliment each other well. I'd run over them with a black in to get into all the lines of the Armor wich will make them look really sweet!

Burias-Drak'shal Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Heres my test model. Pretty much finished apart from transfers, and getting the hazard lines on the chainsword. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/030-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2128431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Heres what I was working on last night. I was trying to get the face to look right. Hopefully I achieved that! I still need to fill in around the head with some black, and the metallic part on the side of the face. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/011-1.jpg http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/012-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2284267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The face looks good so far as I can see. Good job there :) Your other mini's look a tad on the glossy side, maybe a wash or two would help tone it down a bit?

Burias-Drak'shal Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Your other mini's look a tad on the glossy side, maybe a wash or two would help tone it down a bit? Its because there still awaiting a coat matt varnish, and I dont think the camera was helping much either, but I certainly see your point. Heres where Im up to now. Im hoping the power weapon looks okay. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/011-2.jpg http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/006-2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2285781 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burias-Drak'shal Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Have been experimenting with sanguinary guard to find a way to paint there armour. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/002-3.jpg Also have been doing imperial fist lysander, as I quite like the model. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/Space%20Marines/021.jpg http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/Space%20Marines/020-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2385024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 So have been doing some more work on lysander. Have tried to shade model, and also start highlighting the armour. Im not sure it really worked. Have also done some more work on the cloak. Any comments or advice much appreciated! http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/Space%20Marines/006-3.jpg Sorry about the next picture. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/Space%20Marines/003-3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2385414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Heres my latest progress. Not sure if it looks any better or not? http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/004-2.jpg http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/008-3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2386034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Heres some more of my iron warriors. I have about anohter 25 at around this stage. I still need to go over with badab black as metallics still abit bright in a couple of places, and also to do the horns on the helmets and shoulder pads, and of course the chapter icons transfers. In the pictures the armour looks brighter than it actually is. Also before anyone mentions hazard stripes- I will include some in the unit but not on every marine as Im trying to go for a overall look for the army of dark and grim, and therefore not many bright colours on the models. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/008-4.jpg http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/010-3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2408371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Well that's quite some good painting you've got there. Nice Iron Warriors. Any more work on Calgar? Just one thing: I can't really see Lysander. Could you post some larger images, it's hard to tell whether it's better or not.

Burias-Drak'shal Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hope these pics are better.Not much more has been done. Apart from I reworked the armour and cloak on calgar. Though I think the shading and highlights on calgar are to subtle, and it generally needs to neatened up. I still need to do alot of work on the midsections as have been differing on what to do! http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/001-12.jpg http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/003-8.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2408393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Heres some of my finished iron warriors. Still need to do a couple more to complete the squad. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/003-9.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2409526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 I have been doing some Iron warriors and word bearers for a while, and Im planning on concentrating on them over the summer. Im also hoping to finish them before mid Autumn. I havent decided exactly on the number of points of each of the two armies, but at least 2000pts each. I will be doing both Iron warriors and Word Bearers as they are my two favourite legions. Look forward to hearing all your comments and Critiscm. http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/007-5.jpg Some finished models http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/004-6.jpg http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Hammer49_2009/003-10.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2424712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicana Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Iron Warriors are looking fierce. Great work there. Any chance of a Paints List, or even a Tutorial? :) 'm wondering how you achieved that awesome Metallic Armour. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2424716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hope this helps Tropicana. The armour is very very straightforward. Chaos Black Undercoat Boltgun metal (need to make sure you thin the paint) A couple of coats of badab black wash A devlan mud wash (very watered down) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166756-finishing-my-armies/#findComment-2424725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicana Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Cheers for the Fast Response. Might give Iron Warriors a go. Oh, so very tempting... Chaos Black, Boltgun Metal Thinned, Ofc, 2 Badab Black Washes, and a Very Thinned Delvan Mud Wash.
