Antman677 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 any other comments on the color scheme? would like to get some feedback before i commit a squad of PMs to a horrible scheme >_< my initial thoughts are... 1) a lot more highlights on the green (bring to a yellower green) and tan (bring to white) color areas 2) not sold on the eye color yet...but cant think of another color...was thinking about red but i dont the PMs to look like christmas elves.. 3) thinking about making the backpacks and bolters a darker metal color...black, drybrush gray, drybrush tinbitz, wash brown and purple ink thanks for your help!

Antman677 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Here are some WIP shots of my PMs so far... Im gonna refine the blending...add more subtle shading, dont think theres enough contrast on the white areas... Will be doing the trim a dark bronze like the backpack and bolters... Will pick out the paint chips and scuffs with some highlights... http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/Deathguard/PM_WIP_04.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/Deathguard/PM_WIP_05.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/Deathguard/PM_WIP_01.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/Deathguard/PM_WIP_02.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/Deathguard/PM_WIP_03.jpg C&C appreciated as usual!

Ufthak Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Very nice :lol: and looking good. Though I think it's really a pity you took the spikes off the helmets, I think the spikes simply belong to the Death Guard. But then, it's your decision...

Antman677 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 @ Midas: (: glad you like it @ Ufthak: haha...well i got some of these PMs from ebay and they were built and primed already and the previous owner already broke some spikes off sooo...i just broke em all off to make everyone look more consistent. Also going for the pre-heresy look, they didnt have spikes then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Loken Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Looking really good there. I love the weathering on the Rhino's. They way you've managed to get the look of the paint flaking off is really fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antman677 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 So couple of Death Guard terminator decided they were jealous of the other legions with obliterator cults and decided to start a club within the Death Guard... thus i present to you some Death Guard oblits... http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/Deathguard/oblit1_pregreen_01.jpg will be slapping some greenstuff on them soon-ish...

ShinyRhino Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Oblits look nice, though I'm not a huge fan of the plasmacannon guy. Iknow it's supposed to be growing from his gut, but it looks a little...penile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antman677 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 @ShinyRhino: >_< i know...i was going to say after i slap some green stuff on it hopefully it will look better...then i imagined sculpting oblit flesh on the plasma cannon and it just made it look even more penile lol oh well...ill see what i can do about that haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antman677 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 -mini-update- Okay! im goin to Florida to visit inlaws so wont be able to progress on the army for the next 5 days or so... but i did get a chance to almost finish the oblit legs and started on theirs arms a bit...hope yall like em! http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/Deathguard/oblit1_green_01.jpg the scale shot shows the size of the oblits compared to the DP and a black reach termie... in my mind the size of oblits should inspire some insecurities in termies so i made them a lil larger to reflect that...
