Night Runner Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It seems that SW players don't just have an army with the best fluff and dex, we also have the best painted and most original armies. Vanilla marines eat your hearts out! Congratulations to every one who posted his army. I'm really enjoying this thread, I love looking at pics with painted armies, especially SW. You learn and get so many novel ideas from other modelers. Please keep them coming if you can. For Russ!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodgers37 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 HOW DO YOU HIGHLIGHT? i couldn't seem to make it look good, it it like painting the edges or drybrushing? i tried painting, and i did it too thick, and tried dryburshing and did it too thin..... :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I mainly use feathering, which is quick and easy to do and allows me to crank out models relatively quickly. Coolmini has a good article on the basics. The rest is just practice. DV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/fullarmy.jpg i paint mine with an undercoat of black then drybrush boltgun metal, then drybrush chain mail, then highlight with mithril silver. for the white i use astronomicon grey as the base then skull white over the top to do the gold i use bestial brown as a base then apply shining gold over that, then a little bit of chestnut ink over the gold and finally to top it off lightly drybrush shining gold over the inked parts the weapon casings are just plain black and thats it, it usually takes me about 4 hours to bash our a full pack of 10 using that method (that includes building them aswell) http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/fullarmy001.jpg btw the reason some of them have coloured shoulder pads is that those grey hunters of mine have been the models of the match many times and its my way of showing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corver Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Here is one thats my old method which was shadow grey then 60/30 shadow grey / vallejo wolf grey then 30/60 Shadow/wolf grey My new method will use the fenris foundation (really good) and the yellow- darksun? (also really good) With vallejo sombre grey and wolf grey highlights. I havent painted SW in about 2 years and all my shadow and SW grey dried up. where the Vallejo paint was as good as new after a good shake. I think the new foundation and washes from GW are great though. Some of the normal paints need to have more pigment. I also plan on repainting my 13th Co to be more like the old codex grey marines, maybe turn it into a pre-heresy army. Just realised my RP cant take his Storm shield in the new dex :( shame. what to replace it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainlentus Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hey DV8, looks awesome! I gotta ask, how much water do you add to the codex/ fortress grey of the base coats? I can't seem to get it quite right. Also, when you do the fortress with the airbrush, it it more of a focused highlight or a quick one from the direction of the highlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 It's usually about a 50/50 mix of paint and water. And when I airbrush Fortress Grey, it's only from the direction of the light. Honestly though when airbrushing it, Codex Grey and Fortress Grey are so close together that it doesn't make a HUGE impact (something I realized after having batch-airbrushed the first 1000 points), hence why I had to go back with the washes to create more emphasis. If you're starting your army from scratch, I would recommend replacing Codex Grey with something closer to Adeptus Battlegrey (or a mix between Codex Grey and Adeptus), and then airbrushing Fortress on top.

lokeiSHP Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I used to paint witha black undercoat and SW Grey over the top but I'm currently repainting for the new codex. Armor: Basecoat black Undercoat with straight Shadow Grey Topcoat (all but shadow areas) with a 2:1 Mix Shadow Grey/SW Grey Highlights with Codex Grey and then SW Grey Aquila/Wolf chestplates done with Dwarven Bronze with Shining Gold drybrushed onto the ridges Weapons are base black. Metallic areas done with Boltgun Metal and highlighted with Chainmail. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3536/3946949534_d62fe15f12_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3509/3946949444_ba3d5dbfa5_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2622/3946949370_50d8fe8ca8_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2498/3946167237_3ce166f823_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2631/3946949256_683d95cca7_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2602/3946949182_d60e1550ee_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3464/3946949056_98926c8a7e_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2513/3946948992_9a8850e8a3_b.jpg Old stuff found here http://www.flickr.com/photos/18569737@N02/...57614996916359/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo1701 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've just started painting up a new army. I used shadow grey as a base (over black), followed by an all over coat of 1:1 SW grey and shadow grey. (I dubbed it russ grey) This gives them a similar colour to the new GW scheme. Highlight up with 2:1 russ grey to SW grey, 1:1 of the same then edges with SW grey. Looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Grius Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I don't have a camera or camera phone, but Wal-Mart sells a grey primer in a can for $1.19. It is very similar to the Vallejo Dark Sea Grey in color. It serves as a good base coat IMO. I will admit though, I am not a patient painter, so my method is "prime it, detail it, wash it, done."

BDS Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 DV8, Vrox, Lord Ragnarock...excellent work. Thank you for the inspiration. DV8, great tutorial (looks perfect for my Grey Knights as well!!) very clean. What is the time per model/pack for you guys? Just a planning question. DV8, do you plan to do a tutorial for your vehicles? All in all, the SW are very well represented on these boards and on the gaming table, proud to take part. Maybe I should think about changing my Orky handle........ BDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 DV8, Vrox, Lord Ragnarock...excellent work. Thank you for the inspiration. DV8, great tutorial (looks perfect for my Grey Knights as well!!) very clean. Well one of the key points of the tutorial was to demonstrate that: 1. It's all little steps. 2. Keep it simple. Less is more. What is the time per model/pack for you guys? Just a planning question. I usually average 5 models every 3 or so days. This is on top of a full-time job, so I only usually squeeze in 4 or 5 hours of painting a day. DV8, do you plan to do a tutorial for your vehicles? I may. I've written up my Space Wolf lists and I do need to paint up another Rhino... DV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levitas Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Heres some of my first few grey hunters. Going with a much darker colour. base coat is a mix of chaos black/Shadowgrey/hint of codex grey then i do a mid highlight of watered down shadowgrey Final highlight of shadowgrey/codex grey mix. This is table standard, my HQs and such will have a few more layers and work. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/2964/swgreyhunters.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublindawg Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I suck at blending paints so I go with the color right from the bottle. Primer: Chaos Black Base Coat: Codex Grey High Light: Adeptus Battlegrey I do the shoulder pads with a coat of orange (forget the exact color) and then sunburst yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
