Darklighter Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 When I saw that space hulk was coming out I got all excited about the possibility of the new Blood Angels codex being soon! This made me want space hulk more than ever, I looked at my wallet and found it lacking. I tried to convince my self the model quality was going to be rubbish anyway. I tired to put it out of my mind and went in to my local store (the week before release) and saw all the model spread out over a table with every customer huddled around it. After hearing the hushed awe I had to look, to my horror the quality of everything, even down to the markers meant this was a must have buy. I got home that day and asked my wife to get me a copy for our anniversary and made sure she new it had to be bought soon, as they would sell out fast! (at least they did in the UK) I've finally gotten around to painting up my space hulk models (well some of them). My Blood Angel army has fallen out of favour over the years with not having a hard copy of the rules and Tau being my new love. This project has made me remember why I chose Blood Angels for my very first army. I've batch painted all 12 models in terminator armour (including the man in the chair), but have tried to get them all to a high standard to reflect the brilliance of detail in their mouldings. I know I'd have done them more justice if I'd gone at them one at a time..... But I'm just not that patient. http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Grouplongtruecoloursmall.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Lorenzosmall.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Gedionsmall.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Claudiosmall.jpg And finally a quick work in progress. http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Librariansmall.jpg I hope you enjoyed them and please fell free to comment.

Darklighter Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Sorry I've not gotten around to posting up single pictures yet, I'm waiting for some better weather to do them outside with better light. I will do some honest, I'll also post up some more WIP of the Librarian in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darklighter Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'll get on it, thank you Zeller. I'm going to have to take a few notes on things to remember (like drilling). I'm going to try and make my whole army look like this. I'm going to start again with my army as my old models don't hold a torch to the newer models, some things I may revamp (pun intended).

Darklighter Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Ok I have used the originals of images posted here and cut out the individual models so that the singular quality is higher. I have however since posting these on a few forums altered the models a little bit. I've added detail to the scrolls and upped the highlights on the black areas and on the helms. I've taken a much better photo of them as well. I'm not going to post them here just yet as I've entered squad Lorenzo into the golden bolters and I'd like the extra work to be a pleasant surprise. http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/SingleLorenzo.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Singleassault.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Singledeath.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Singleflamer.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Singlegideon.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Singleknelt.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Singlelooking.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Singlepointer.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Singleshooter.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Singlewingedgun.jpg I hope you enjoyed these.....I think they still look much much better in person and the newer Photo's do them more justice, but you'll have to wait for them. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 the close ups do your models more credit than the one at range :D awesome models m8 :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thank you very much Demoulius. I hope others have enjoyed them as much. I'm really happy with the way the crux terminatus look blown up like this large. The time spent on the red has means I've got it down to a fairly fast pace as well. I'm hoping that I can make my whole army look this good! A pipe dream but one I'm going to attempt as I'll be buying all new for the new codex (no I'm not rich, I've just been saving up for a while).

Darklighter Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've finally gotten around to finishing up my space hulk Librarian. http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Libbyfront1.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Libbyside.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Libbyback.jpg http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Space%20Hulk/Libbygunside.jpg Let me know what you think. I've just started on the Genestealers finished up the flesh and waiting for the wash to dry before moving onto the carapace. I'll post picks once they are finished.

lunchb0x Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 The red needs more contrast, between shadows and highlights. The metals need something more then a wash...they dont really pop. The librarian is good, but maybe a bit more feather/blending would really make it look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I like that alot of Blood Angel players are doing the gothic dark reds. Mecharite is truly our friend. Great job by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherMoses Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Excellent work brother. It looks like they're actually in the dark confines of a space hulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I like the shading on these. The models definitely look like they're trudging through dark hallways. The camera is probably being unkind to your colors, maybe pose them in front of a darker background? The Librarian stands out, overall. Definitely the prize piece!
