Malanok Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hello there! I currently do not collect thousand sons, I collect Chaos Daemons. My brother saw my WIP Daemon Prince and thought it would look good on a Thousand Son (because it was based off a Thousand Son ^^) http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs51/i/2009/293/2/2/Thousand_Son__smaller_pic__by_Malanok.jpg There is a few better pics on my DA (sorry about that!) Malanok P.S C&C welcome (I know about the eyes, they are terrible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaldoth Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Wow! I actually really like this metal effect. I'm assuming you painted with some sort of silver paint and washed it over with blue? It looks fantastic. Is there any chance you could take a picture with some better lighting? Or is he actually that dark? Good stuff :D Cheers, -Kal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylermenz Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thats really nice. How did you do the gold and blue on that? A tutorial would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcyclone2000 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 If this is done by adding a blue wash on top of a silver basecoat, what would happen if one were to paint silver runes on a dark basecoat and then cover that with a blue wash? Would that work, giving one kickass glowy runes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malanok Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Thanks to all of you! as for the blue, it is darker then enchanted blue, but lighter then regal blue; it's hard to describe, it is light, dull, and (somehow) shiny at the same time. I brought the blue as an off hand buy for something else and then decided to try it on Warhammer (I got it from my local craft store but here is a link to their sight and the paint [link]) 1. paint the entire model boltgun metal; I find this a good base for metallics (highlight at this stage if you don't want to mess around mixing paints) 2. paint the blue and shining gold; 3. Other small details need painting ( the robe was bleached bone, the small thread on the robe was calthan brown etc...) 4. Badab Black the entire model; try to drown the whole model then wait for it to dry 5. paint the base to what ever colour you want; I recommend a dry brush with skull white, this looks like frost on gravel (as I use gravel) and if you do not like it then add a grey wash to turn it into non frosted gravel Things which I noticed The eyes will always look a lot darker The blue paint is good for power weapons (sorry for the irrelevance) The blue spreads nicely, if you want to try a more natural highlight then normal highlights just spread it thinly where you want to highlight You don't have to spend ages getting a black line between the stripes on the headdress as the was does this for you Sorry, thats the closest to a tutorial I am going to be able to make, I don't have anymore thousand sons to paint step by step... Malanok P.S Oh yes, I am also trying this on a (Tzeentch) Daemon Prince ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
