AL. Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Little bit of an update, Ive got loads going on now! More Paints and GS came in the post so i could get on with things!! Yey Terminator Assault Sqd aswell, which is always nice. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0169.jpg Started on some GS bits, this is the first time ive ever used GS so apolagies if im making any school boy errors (please do let me know). Simple stuff really, Shield looks a bit rough but its not now! http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0174-1.jpg These legs are going to either be for my Belial or a hammer & Shield guy im undecided as yet. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0175-1.jpg Only done 1 so far but i like him http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0172.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0173.jpg You can see my librarian in the background aswell, he just came thismorning. Awesome looking mini i must say. More going on the Tactical guys today, they are about 40% done, then probably do a few more terminators thisevening. Got a SM commander and a pretty cool looking librarian on route which i plan on using to build my own Eziekiel. C&C welcome as always.

sword brethren Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 i like the termys, the GS is looking ok so far, room for improvement but we shall see what happens, as for advise, the armpit area, cut it with the back of a hobby knife downwards about 4 or 5 times to get the soft armour, id love to give you more advise but my GS is below par, i just fil gaps and stuff :down: i love the paint job of the DA, you paint that green very well. keep up the great work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189210-my-dark-angels-army/#findComment-2251006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL. Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 yeah im not great with the old GS as yet, i know what you mean about the arm pit area, i hadnt noticed how poo it looked.

AL. Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Ok so after a rethink on the robes/tabbards (thanks for pushing me in teh right direction sword brethren ) i decided to re-do most of the GS work on the termies. This is how they look now, they will be primed and started tomorrow providing im still happy with them :) .

I may also go back and modify the left shoulder pad some more looking at it, maybe, maybe not. Librarian is finished barring some detail on the base (anyone got any sculls, ork/tyranid heads lying about?) http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/P1180040.jpg Loads done on the tac squad, 2 finished, 8 to go. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/P1180041.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/P1180043.jpg Good start on the vets aswell whilst i had the green paint out! http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/P1180036.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/P1180037.jpg I would really appreciate some feedback on everything guys!! especially the GS!! im totally new to GS and ive not painted anything in 7 years (the librarian was the first model ive painted since 2002 actually) so feedback is super important to me. (plus it motivates me which can only be good right?) Oh also apolagies for the below par pics i had to revert to an older camera.

UltraRich Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi Al The only thing I find is if you mix GS with more blue it drys harder and its easier to file. If you dont get it perfectly smooth some really fine wet and dry will sort it out Can I ask where the head of Belial came from?

If you dont get it perfectly smooth some really fine wet and dry will sort it out Can I ask where the head of Belial came from? More blue eh, ill try that. I was trying to work out which was teh hardner last night actually. Thanks As for teh head, it came out of the terminator box i think? possibly the DA Upgrades? Im not 100% as there all in my bits box, sorry. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189210-my-dark-angels-army/#findComment-2252401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The eyes on the marines look good. I like your depiction of Belial. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189210-my-dark-angels-army/#findComment-2255968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL. Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks Lysander the eyes are an area i find particularly annoying. Its good to know they look half decent. Im toying with the idea of a 'cape' for him but i dont really want to hide the back of the model so im still undecided. Also just so everyoen knows what happened to the 'skiff', a friend of mine stole it to make into an objective. but he gave me loads of bits in return so its a win win.

AL. Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 so this is how Belial and his Terminator friends look now, ive just primed them and will start painting tomorrow! http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0198.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0199.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0197.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0196.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0195.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0194.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0192.jpg My Azzy conversion, http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0200.jpg and the watcher, helmet not quite finished. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0201.jpg C&C please chaps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189210-my-dark-angels-army/#findComment-2258726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL. Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Any ideas what colour i should paint the robes on the terminators? As you can see i was going with a dark crimson colour, but i really dont think its working. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0203.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0204.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0206.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0207.jpg C&C please.

T0MMY Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hey AL; liking your work so far + painting is looking good. I would go for green for the cloaks. This might seem a bit dull but if you use the same colour as your tac squads it will tie them altogether as an army. If you throw red into the mix it might start to look a bit too colourful... imho.

Capt. Lysander Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The bone colour is coming along. Perhaps a bit of washes may make it stand out more though?

AL. Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Im on a bit of a mission the last few days, got quite a bit done. Belial; http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0220.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0221.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0223.jpg Things im not 100% happy with; -Green pads could be better -Not sure on changing the purity seal wax to a purple as there may be too much red? - Didnt quite get teh effect i wanted on the hair - Right thigh should possibly have been re-sculpted. Things I think worked well; - Bone LC's - Black Armour - GS Hair - Enlarged shoulder pad - Pose All in all im happy with him and he looks great next to the bone coloured DW termies. Changed the DW termies robes to Green (thanks to Tommy for that) Im happy that its a better look than the red. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0224.jpg Also aquired this, http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0209.jpg Which was stripped, fixed and now currently looks like this; http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0217.jpg Lysander i am going to try a wash over the bone colour as currently it seems to have very little depth.
