Cornelias Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 very nice paint job, the only thing i think you could improve on (in the modeling stage) is to make the legs more worn to fit with the top half of the model, some cracks and a couple of well placed drill holes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scathainn Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Nice death guard! Any chance you have the recipie for that armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattison Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Very cool Nurgle marine. I like the tentacles! My only concern is that the weapon could be less shiny and bronzy maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raezyr Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thank you for the C&C guys its much appreciated. As for the recipe I am more than happy to share. I started with black primer and used a base coat of Orkhide Shade from the Foundation line. I then began to add Gretchin Green, also Foundation, to Ork Hide Shade at a 1:5 ratio for the second coat. I kept the consistancy of the paint to a cream like thickness. I followed up with several layers each time adding a more Gretchin Green until the final highlight is a straight Gretchin Green at the highest points of highlight. I honestly can't remember how many coats but I think it was around six or so, I tend to go by whatever looks right to my eye as opposed to a set number. Don't panic he is going to look very bright at this point ;) to bring the colours back down I alternated layers of Ogryn Flesh and Gryphonne Sepia washes. Usually two layers of each wash is sufficient but I have used more here and there to suit my taste. Hope this gives you a good idea and thanks for asking. Oh and as for the metallics they will be far more dull and matte when I give them a shot of matte sealant, however the moisture here is not co-operating and I didn't want to keep my friend waiting for pics.

WRappiii Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Great paint job... always love the look of the Plague Marine helmet. Especially nice base, too. Great stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Likewise, I think the model is very well done, particularly the eyes, but the upper legs seem to be lacking something the rest of the model represents very clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
