tahrikmili Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Finally finished this fun side project. I actually did this to learn how to paint blue (I hope to paint a Blood Angels Librarian one day) but ended up enjoying it immensely. So here's an Ultramarine painted in the oldschool color scheme: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StubbyGB Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Very nice and clean. What colours did you use for the blue ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahrikmili Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Very nice and clean. What colours did you use for the blue ? Thank you. I used FolkArt Artist's Pigment line Brilliant Ultramarine for the Blue. Highlights are Brilliant Blue mixed with GW Skull White (Mostly 2:1, though for some subtler highlights I used something around 3:1). For shading I just blacklined with Black Ink.

Tyrannicide Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Awesome hark back to the glory of the past. I would've preferred to see the golden yellow rims of the more recognizable 2nd Company, but very nice nevertheless. Though do you have any plans on adding squad markings and the Chapter symbol?

tahrikmili Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I was going to do Yellow 2nd Company trims as well, but thought I would add a third color to the model. I think it looks nice this way, without being too busy. Black and Green trims look very nice on Ultramarines as well, I'd say. I will, eventually. But I'm not really crazy about using transfers (most people seem to be using solvents to deal with issues concerning these, which I lack) so I'll just freehand them sometime :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
