ephrael Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 You are certainly off to a good start here. A nice solid blue for your Ultras. Good luck completing the challenge.

Gillyfish Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Out of curiousity, are your Ultras a little lighter blue than is standard, or is it just the picture? Alternatively, do you intend to darken them? Looks like a good start though.

Commander Proteus Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Lookin good greatcrusade08! I like your shade of blue. Possibly the only reason I didn't do Ultras is because I couldn't get my shade. Can't wait to see the finished work. Keep it up! -Proteus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190269-gc08s-lpc/#findComment-2257522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, do you intend to darken them? It may be the pic, as i now use ultramarines blue, whereas i used to use enchanted blue which was waaaay too light.. i do use midnight blue as shading that tends to darken the recesses more. Thanks for all the comments and encouragement, i have done the basecoat on all bar two marines and have started to basecoat the rhino (i brought a tank brush today). more WIP pics over the weekend thanks guys Gc08 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190269-gc08s-lpc/#findComment-2257608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great start. I really like the combination of the white chest eagles on blue armour. I will say that I disagree with you that enchanted blue is way too light. All my guys are enchanted and I think it comes out just right. To be honest, when put together I cant see much difference between the 2 shades.

To be honest, when put together I cant see much difference between the 2 shades. thats the weord thing, yours look very close in shade to my ultra blue, yet when i used to paint with enchanted it was the colour of blu-tak.. different painting styles i guess?

Gillyfish Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I really like the black-lining. Very neat and gives really good definition.

Evidently you have a steady hand! ;) thanks gillyfish, but i dont black line as such, instead i undercoat black and leave the recesses when i apply the basecoat. I takes about an hour to do per model but its worth it, in actual fact i really should do a second coat of ultra blue but im too lazy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190269-gc08s-lpc/#findComment-2260647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Proteus Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 My tactical squad isn't even done yet, and I'm declaring you to have my rear whupped! I love the sarge (the new veterans make awesome Sgt's.) You've got just a rhino left for the original Vow, right? Can't wait to see it.
