Antman677 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi all...to give me some variety from my nurgle army... let me introduce you to jack (named after my gaming groups resident khorne player)... http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_newbase2.jpg I picked this puppy up from the warhound rescue aka ebay...he was in a very sad condition...glue bombed, painted with layers and layers of what looked like latex paint, and then broken into pieces to add insult to injury... http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_newbase1.jpg so i cleaned him up (took weeks), put him back together, gave him a much more interesting/dynamic pose, and started to slap paint on him... it started with a little innocuous drybrushing and before i knew it the Jack's carapace looked like it was bleeding out from its pores... O_O what I thought was an imperial titan may have had a darker past than i had imagined...::shrug:: perhaps Jack's previous princeps had a secret khorne fetish who knows...anyhow here are some picture so u can see for yourself... http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_paint_04.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_paint_02.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_paint_01.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_paint_03.jpg this is a commission piece and the owner didnt specify what colors he wanted but did say he liked black on the model... so i was thinking about keeping his engine housing and his arms black but adding a little blue to make an off black color to make some shading a lil easier woudl love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

Replica Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 looks cool, love the deep red! The black sounds like a good idea, I normally add some codex grey depending on what type of black but for this guy blue sounds like it will look great! Are you going to keep all the imperial markings? (i assume its a chaos titan) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182606-the-unexpected-chaos-titan/#findComment-2160016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 At first, I thought you meant by bleeding from its pores, that it was in some horrible condition or something...not fantastically red looking =-D The deep color is really good looking. I agree with Mr. Replica above me, the black would be a good idea. IF chaos, maybe you could defile all the eagles?

Cedric Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Could you please provide a quick list of steps that produces that really sweet red of yours? I really like the colour gradient.

Antman677 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 @ Replica/Shortsonfire79: I guess the topic title is a bit of a misnomer. I still intend for the titan to be "imperial" however ambiguously tainted by chaos...i picture one of the techpriests servicing Jack to be like..."Hmm, whatever happened to that solid cherry red that Jack came out of the Manufactorium with? Its all splotchy and seems to change as each day passes by...hmm...oh well ::shrug::" - haha...so ya he'll keep is imperial markings. @ Shortsonfire79: haha...yeah i actually meant it looks like the carapace really is bleeding...look below for the recipe for the effect... @Cedric: Here ya go... paints: all acrylic paints from the local art store (Utrecht). so any acrylic paint will do...be sure to get standard acrylic paint rather than the pre-diluted kind. brushes: large drybrush, small drybrush step1: primer black, 1 coat of diluted black paint step2: dilute the darker red color (crimson from Utrecht) about 1:1 paint/water and with a large drybrush, drybrush onto the black. At this point you wont really see much of a difference at all. But have patience and let the 1st coat dry and then dry brush the entire surface again. after about the 5th coat you'll start to see that the area drybrushed has a red/brownish hue to it. step3: now put more of the dark red into the mix so about 2:1 paint/water and dry brush the raised areas a couple times. you should start to see a gradation of redness. keep drybrushing until you're satisfied with the gradation step4: dip your small drybrush in water and wipe most of it off so that the brush is wet but not holding much water. dip the large drybrush in the lighter red color (red deep from Utrecht) so that the tips of the bristles have some of the red on them. now lightly stipple the lighter red onto the highest red areas of the model either where light should hit or just where you want to show the brightest reds. before the paint dries use your damp small drybrush and feather the edges of the stippled paint into its surrounding areas so you get a gradation from brighter to darker red. Do it as many times as you want to get the red you're looking for... remember to let each coat of drybrushing dry before you dry brush the next coat of paint... so as you can see its really really easy to do and you get pretty phenomenal results!

Antman677 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 FINISHED!!! as you can see Jack seemed to have found his way back to the fold...the Crimson Fists seemed to have taken him in...hmm sounds like heresy to me... http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_paint_06.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_paint_08.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_paint_05.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii57/antman677/WIP%20warhound/warhound_paint_07.jpg TADA!!!

Ensis Ferrae Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 the red carapace actually looks like well aged leather (not intended i know, but it looks cool all the same) overall that is an amazing looking Titan :woot: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182606-the-unexpected-chaos-titan/#findComment-2169590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 So it IS an epic sized titan. From the first picture, I thought it was, but with the close up of the carapace, I had second thoughts. Now I understand =-D Very nicely done.

Shortsonfire79 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Haha, I don't know if I want to believe that. Can I get some close ups for some detailing? As proof hahaha.

CosmicCreations Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I have to agree with Shorts about the size....the photos make it look tiny! Just to clarify could we get a scale shot next to a space marine? because as you said this is a FW warhound titan, but it looks unbelievably tiny! fantastic btw good job Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182606-the-unexpected-chaos-titan/#findComment-2170676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
