Brother Cambrius Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not a bad start at all. First suggestions I offer are to work a litle more around the helmet's eye lenses and also if you don't have it, purchase a badab black wash. You'll find it works wonders on any metallic areas. I like the huge Chaos shields you've added too. Looking forward to your progress, Cambrius Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188884-newb-legion-be-easy/#findComment-2235169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Nice idea with the shields. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188884-newb-legion-be-easy/#findComment-2235225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0MMY Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Nice chaos marines - look a bit like iron warriors. I agree with Cambrius, a black wash (watered down chaos black will do if you don't have anything else) over metallic areas (such as the weapons) will give them a bit more depth. Otherwise, great start and nicvely modelled ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188884-newb-legion-be-easy/#findComment-2235228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolfi Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I've been thinking of using shields on my marines like that. Glad to see it looks good. Good job and some cool ideas.

cathar the great Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not a bad start. I like the large gun conversion on the havoc. You do need to do something about your primer. Either the pictures are a bad quality, or you don't shake it enough or it's bad in some other way. You should also invest some more time in the black. Just primer won't look good. Black is a bitch to highlight, but just painting a mix 2:1 Chaos Black and grey over the black primer will give you a much nicer looking armor color.

jlmb_123 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Your painting's very neat, well done! Even a single highlight on each colour would make these pop. TOMMY: You mean Black Legion, right?

Vulkan454 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Nice painting but i agree with the others some Badab Black might be in order. One tip when posing the marines: have some of the heads looking down the barrels of thier guns so it looks like there firing them: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/marinestore.jpg its a larger scale but the effect is the same. Well Done. Looking forward to updates. Vulkan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188884-newb-legion-be-easy/#findComment-2235636 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenlad Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Keep going this is a good start. 90% of this hobby is only learned by doing so you have to paint to learn. Washes are your friend in my book keep playing with dry brushing and washes. Just make certain that the wash is dry before you go over it. Other wise smeery mess. :) well keep up the good work something about the first step on a long journy and all...

Brother Cambrius Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hmm, I think black on white suits my palette best, but remember its your choice as its your legion. :P Cambrius Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188884-newb-legion-be-easy/#findComment-2269932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCrawford Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'd like to see how they turn out finished. As it stands, you need to even up the painting (perfect example: the gold on the shell casings of the heavy bolter), do some washes and then highlight. Suggestions: 1) Wash the armor with devlan mud rather than badab black. Makes it look grimier. 2) Wash the gold with Gryphonne Sepia 3) Light light light drybrush of chainmail over the armor when you're done washing 4) After washing the gold, a 3:1 highlight of shining hold and mithril silver Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188884-newb-legion-be-easy/#findComment-2270363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
