Smoking Bolters Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hello everyone. Its been a long time since i last posted anything but finaly got motivated to take some pictures. I am very very slow at painting so its not much, just a chaplain and some random marines. The marines are experiments using different paints ect. Hope you all like them. C&C would be greatly appreciated!. http://www.tasandfriends.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10012/normal_Chaplain%20Front.jpg http://www.tasandfriends.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10012/normal_Chaplain%20Back.jpg http://www.tasandfriends.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10012/normal_Group.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172259-um-chaplain-and-experiments/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRCHAOS Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 That Chaplain is ace dude great work, and looking at the old skool mk8 Marine brings back memories, that was my second model I ever painted after the Captain with the power fist and cape. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172259-um-chaplain-and-experiments/#findComment-2035944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks great. A few ideas for improvement: try to highlight the bone a bit more (for example do a 1:1 mix of Skull White & Bleached Bone) and also perhaps work a bit more on the Ultramarines symbol. Use a pencil to draw the shape before you paint :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172259-um-chaplain-and-experiments/#findComment-2036495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoking Bolters Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thank you all for taking the time to reply. Hi Vadskær, really appreciate the advice!. You are right, the bone does need a bit more work. It was the first time using washes for a bone colour so it was very experimental. I think after the wash of sepia, i used pure bleached bone as a highlight. I will try to lighten it more for extreme highlighting. I was undecided at the time of painting it just how far to take the highlights :teehee: And yeah your right, the symbols are not very good. I do struggle to keep them uniform. I have resorted to using transfers, which i find even worse!. The UM symbol transfer doesn't seem to have been designed to fit on shoulder pads without creasing due to the curve. I will try using a pencil to mark the design in future, does the pencil line show through the paint though? or does the white cover it well?.
