Sandalphon Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hi All, Found myself some time to get back into my AotL recently and here are the results! I'm pretty happy with them, but really found highlighting black to be a pain.. i thought shadow grey (at least the old version) was usually a good option but it was coming out too blue.. so i went for the sharpness of codex grey which looks better but maybe i went overboard? ;) so you might notice that some of them have a gardual shadow to codex grey, while the others are purely codex which i think looks cleaner but in the photos doesnt look as good :D I went with gold instead of yellow on the shoulders which i'm starting to grow quite fond of.. I'm yet to paint their livery and add some details, battle-damage, touch-ups etc but i wanted to share while I could :P (back to work tmrw zzzz) I'm debating whether or not they should have different iconography from the main AotL (winged lion) like the DW do to the DA.. . i was thinking a lion head on the shoulder would be cool but i'm not really sure how to paint one! :D and if so.. should it be Gold too? :o The other thing i'm really happy with are the faces, i spent a lot more time than i usually do and i think it paid off! C&C definitely encouraged! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167205-aotl-lion-guard-assault-squad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallenAngels123 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 well as far as im concerned, i think they look really good :P just a little point of critique. I think that the colour of the highlights are great, but i just find that the highlights on hte black ar to thick. It almost makes it look like the grey is part of their armour, sorta like a painted on rim doe you understand??? But as i said, i really like em alot Kudos for the work on the faces man :P cheers Danny Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167205-aotl-lion-guard-assault-squad/#findComment-1970163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks! i'm working on the black and will be reducing the contrast of it in some areas. I've been alerted to the fact that my sgt appears to be wearing lipstick which i might have to change too :cry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167205-aotl-lion-guard-assault-squad/#findComment-1970864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
