TeamLando Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Right, discussed making a tutorial on my "blizzard blades" the other day with some of you in my current WIP thread, and whadddayaknow, here it is! This is not the best blizzard blade I've done, nor is the best pictures, but it should give you the the general idea about how to make some of these yourselves ;) So, when I was sitting down painting minis today, my latest addition, scout brother Efrahim came over to me and started bugging me about finishing him, and giving him one of them blizzard blades, and seeing as he HAD a sculpted power weapon, I though, sure, why not. And with that, I give the word to my trusty Wolf Scout Sergeant Brother Efrahim! As you can see on some of the images, I've used a similiar thing on the bolter, albeit with some lightnings in the background too, same tecnique, just a bit more blending! Try that too brothers. Here's some additional pictures of my latest minis with the same blizzard blade thing going on, but on different weapons! http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/9282/runepriestface.jpg Power Axe http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/8315/wolfguard2.jpg Lightning Claws Hope y'all find it useful brothers! The completed Scout can be found in this thread, btw!

TeamLando Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks! ;) Hope you find it useful, I might make more of these if I get the chance and find something tutorial-worthy.

TeamLando Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks! Yeah, do that! Try the lightning pattern too, it's kinda cool. And take some pics when you're done, eh ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174177-tutorial-frost-blade-for-any-type-of-weapon/#findComment-2058914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tuditanus Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks much for the tutorial! I especially like the format you put it into!

TeamLando Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Format? I just took some with-sound-in-text-format photos of brother Efrahim telling me how to do it, so I guess I can't have all the credit. :) Jokes aside, thanks brother, hope it'll come of use ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174177-tutorial-frost-blade-for-any-type-of-weapon/#findComment-2058926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tuditanus Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I may not add the snow spots, but I love the colors! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174177-tutorial-frost-blade-for-any-type-of-weapon/#findComment-2058950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamLando Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah, I'm the same, the "blizzard pattern" is actually and evolved version of the frost blade as I made them before, before I got tired of that xD They didn't have the snow, just the stormy clouds. One can alter the looks with either snow, sea waves or, as seen on the bolter, lightning :) Probably something else too, but that's the only three I've tried and seen work, so to say :) I also tried making the snow more windy once, like, strokes of wind-snow to make it look very snowy.. but that ended up looking like a codweb xD Might try that again someday.. I'm a better painter these days compred to when I tried it, I guess :) Oh yeah! One more thing, gloss looks kinda ncie on these too. Didin't have any at home when I did the tut, though :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174177-tutorial-frost-blade-for-any-type-of-weapon/#findComment-2058955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didin't have any at home when I did the tut, though :/ I think a good healthy dose of the lightning effect and a double coat of gloss varnish will work wonders then... If you could PM or post a closer pic of that bolter?

TeamLando Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks! And maybe I will, if I find something interesting enough to tutorial (is tht a verb? xD) Anything special you guys wanna know that you've seen and wondered about, maybe? About the bolter and a closer shot, ain't got one that's closer than that, but I do got different angles of it, and this's the best picture of that that I got atm. But I could probabaly take closer pics of that bolter when I get home from work today, don't have the time now unfortuneatly, gotta go to work 5 minutes ago xD (and although that sounds grammatically incorrects it's true :D).

Brother Tuditanus Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yeah, another angle, rather than closer, is what I meant... Too much ale too quickly, me thinks. I like that very much. My only things I will be hesitant to learn are good ways to paint fur and hair/faces. As SW will need all three of them done well. Eyes I do ok with, i'd like to think. Flesh I do a brown basecoat, some layers of dwarf flesh, and then Badab Black or Delvan mud wash with a re-application of the DF paint where I see fit.

While that face-tecnique sounds like a good start, I think I could whip up a tutorial on something that'll leave a better result when I get my hands on another space wolf (I'm not at home atm y'see lads, nor am I for the coming week but after that). Got a decent feeling for fur and pelts aswell.. guess I could do a tutorial on one of those too when I get some minis :whistling: Woo. My first contribution to the Librarium. Thanks for puttin' it up there, Tyrak! More to come, me thinks.

Brother Tuditanus Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 It's a good start considering i've only painted 3 faces, two of them not so much faces but the odd little cluster-flesh bits on the FW sonic dread for Emperors Children. :whistling: Enjoy your time away and no worries on when, where, or how... It'll be until Wolftoberfest that I get my minis :blush: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174177-tutorial-frost-blade-for-any-type-of-weapon/#findComment-2059642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demogerg Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have a similar dark blue to white fade look on all my frost weapons, you can check them out on dakkadakka, same profile name, in my posted images. i didnt bother with lightning/snow effect in mine, but i went for an overall lighter color to offset my generally heavy shading color scheme.

I'd be happy to give yours a look, but I'm not registered on Dakka... Sorry to pester, but would it be too much to ask for you to copy and paste an image link or such here?

falcon77 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Those 2nd ed SW had some real character and the WG with the wolf is personal favourite, I've got 5 for Ragnars personal bodyguard. Would definately like to see on of your tutorials on faces and pelts.

Brother Tuditanus Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 meh... Can you possibly make your post have some sort of meaning or sense? Otherwise it's so much wasted space, and I wouldn't be sure why you'd even take the time to post.
