RagingGriffon Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Blue backwards is Eulb... not Elub. Anyways, great models. I can see they are a little more turquise than Ultras.

Shortsonfire79 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I like Elubian more than Eulbian..that just kinda sounds like elbow =-P I love what you've done so far, pretty nice blue. I can't believe you have 5 dreads... thats ridiculous! But then again..they'd be beautiful once painted. =-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175904-wip-diy-scythes-of-eluvia-update-011009/page/2/#findComment-2082397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 ok, so I never normally do this, but I'm gonna need a recipe for that blue, it's superb.

Telliphas Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks for the positive feedback guys. No picture today didn't achieve much last night, spent most of my time cleaning my basing materials off the floor after my 1yr old daughter decided to pull the tub off the table. The little monkey used the rung on the chair I was sat on to give herself a bit of a boost. There was a casualty as well the Librarian was in there getting his base done the banner broke off. Super glue to the rescue. @MalevolentMc - I did intentionally start out with just buying what I needed. The thing is, I'm like a kid in a sweet shop when I go near a GW store, don't think I've ever come out of one with out some thing. @barry_hhh - cheers for the link, wont be buying any of that stuff just yet. Just spent £58 on the new Space Hulk board game (as a christmas present for myself), don't think the better half would be to happy me spending more money at the present time. Bills, food and nappies come first. EDIT: @ barry_hhh - for the weathering I use a 000 brush with a very small amount of Chaos Black on the end just apply lightly. Mix Enchanted Blue and Skull White, I'd say 30/70 then apply a thin line to the underside of the Chaos Black. @Typical Cricket - You can count on there being more, the list I posted at the bottom of page one is what you can expect to see over the coming months. @Shortsonfire79 - Elubian has been sacked for Eluvia as it rolls off the tongue better. 5 Dreadnoughts at the moment, I'll get them painted up before I invest in anymore. MKIV forge world one(s) and the Chaplin dreadnought should make an appearance in the future. @blackbabyjesus - The blue is simple. Chaos Black Undercoat Enchanted Blue basecoat 60/40 mix Chaos Black & Enchanted Blue - wash over armour, leave to dry then re-apply to recesses and around details. Re-apply Enchanted Blue leaving the recesses and detail the darker shade. 50/50 mix Enchanted Blue and Skull white 1st highlight Add some more Skull White to the mix and apply to the extreme edges. Hope that helps. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175904-wip-diy-scythes-of-eluvia-update-011009/page/2/#findComment-2082694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 thanks very much, o longer will my librarians have to suffer looking like Ultramarines from 1998!

Telliphas Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Ahh that paint scheme is for the normal Space Marines, the Librarian had a Azurman Blue wash applied all over the blue armour but he was painted in the same way.

Telliphas Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Apologies for the double post. Librarian is now complete, I've sorted out the staff so it doesnt look wonky any more. Re-done the book scripture and added some colour. Here's a quick picture. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/daaveed/Eludian%20Knights/CompleteSMlib.jpg Back off to some more painting. C&C welcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175904-wip-diy-scythes-of-eluvia-update-011009/page/2/#findComment-2084283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalevolentMc Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Nice man! love the detailing in the book. Are you going to paint the rim of the base? Or leave it black? - MMC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175904-wip-diy-scythes-of-eluvia-update-011009/page/2/#findComment-2084340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
