Gerrie's Golden Bolters work in progress

[Dezartfox]

Oh My God!

 

this is simply incredible! i absolutely love that streaky style of painting it is amazing!

 

<insert one tutorial to continue>

 

Shame it's my style! :lol:

There's a tutorial on my site.

I too will be entering a unit of Deathwing ;)

you can find a more in depth tutorial for the same type of armour here, this piece did win a daemon(much to my surprise)...that doesnt mean this is how it should be done, just that the methods were used on a competition piece, so they can work in this instance(and work fine for armies as thats what i initially painted it for)

 

the tutorial starts on page 2 i believe

As for the terminators, the armour looks good, could use more variation to spice it up so its not so even and plain, you can get ideas of what i mean in the above tutorial...im not suggesting those colours necessarily, but a similiar idea in terms of adding colour/shading etc

 

the main problem is you have a more "realistic" effect on the armour and then go for bright saturated cartoony red(and green?) on the details...it looks a little off, and inconsistent in terms of techniques used...Its a very high contrast, and it really draws away from the armor and the rest of the model

 

a bit late i know, but im throwing it out there :)

I like the green cruxes, a nice twist! :)

And they go well together with the red sumbols. Your green stuff, is that done by a mold? Or oare you just a demi-good of GS? :)

 

The lenses are coming out beautifully and the paintstyle is looking real good my friend.

 

Can't wait to see 'em all purdy and done for the show :D

 

++ Edit ++ Ooops, didn't read all through, saw that the question about the GS/mold had already been asked and answered :P

nice stuff ! , particularly like how you have the extreme highlights/shading on the green areas, they appear to be 'gem' like , also a nice contrast to the bone colour

 

Keep it up !

Good work! Best of luck with the competition. The 'bleached' bone looks good, you applied Desartfox's recipe very well :)

[Gerrie]

The bases for my Terminators... quick and simple: Dragonforge resin.

Those look brilliant and they will look even better on those bases. If you posted pics of these in the DA subforum people would be cooing for months.

[Night Runner]

You're going to have a very good shot at winning your category. <_<

[shiningstorm101]

wow they looking stunning, you may be in for a win here :huh:

 

i love the bases aswell they really contrast the bone colour of the termys

[Capt. Lysander]

The bases have a very nice rust effect.

[AL.]

I love the green effect on those guys, looks great.

 

i cant help but think the poses arnt great?? Although it doesnt take away from the minis at all i must say.

[Gerrie]

Figures are done... I'll take pictures tonight and submit my entry.

 

I'd like to show my finished figures here, but am I allowed to display my finished minis online prior to entering the contest? I think so but I'll double check just to be sure ^_^

[Capt. Lysander]

I hope so :devil:, really looking forward to seeing them.

[Gerrie]

I hope so :D, really looking forward to seeing them.
