WarriorFish Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Very nice! :P How did you do the blue? It looks very good. Why will the Seras be red and black though?

TheDarkOne Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Very nice! :P How did you do the blue? It looks very good. Why will the Seras be red and black though? ThE blue is a regal blue and black base, highlighted/drybrushed with enchanted blue and a final highlight of lightning bolt blue. It took a while but I really like it both on sisters and on the tanks. I wanted to make the seras look different from the Rest ofthe army, so I thought red armor with black robes wour be cool, even considering freehand flames on the robes... The can drop 3 rending flame templates so I think they will be cool with the flame freehand. That and I am really tired of painting blue...

Judanas Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 What are those wings for the cannoness? Are they swooking hawk wings? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195338-painting-the-last-of-my-sisters-1850/#findComment-2326716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkOne Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 I believe they are fromt he sweeping hawk exarch, or maybe even the phoenix lord. They are very old and I don't know if they're current anymore. I painted up a prototype, I'm pretty pleased, though i could use some practice with the glow from the jump pack. This is before washes too, so its not done, but the flames are there, and I like them.

TheDarkOne Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 I started with blood red, then blazing orange, then sunburst yellow, the sunburst mixed with skull white, then a final highlight of skull white. Everything was very thin and had a lot of layers. They're almost done, I should be able to post photos later tonight.

TheDarkOne Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 The models are done, the bases still need to be finished, but I'm very pleased with everything, especially the Canoness. http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo83/TheDarkOnePB/seraphim030.jpg http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo83/TheDarkOnePB/seraphim031.jpg http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo83/TheDarkOnePB/seraphim032.jpg http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo83/TheDarkOnePB/seraphim033.jpg http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo83/TheDarkOnePB/seraphim034.jpg http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo83/TheDarkOnePB/seraphim035.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195338-painting-the-last-of-my-sisters-1850/#findComment-2328517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Very cool, the red looks nice and deep with a closer look. With that and the flames on their robes nobody should have any doubts what they'll be doing on the table :mellow: Though it might make them even bigger fire magnets that usual...

TheDarkOne Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Yeah, I thought of that as I was painting them, do i really want to paint them awesome? they're just going to get killed anyway..... I've had pretty good luck hiding them and sneaking them around in games.... we'll see how well they hide at Adepticon.... I'll post photos of the complete squad tonight, along with some special surprise objective markers courtesy of Forgeworld...

Voldrak Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hey, got a question for you regarding on how you did your reds for the seraphims. You seem to have managed to bring it out really well on a black primer, I've been having difficulties pulling it off myself as the red usually lets the black come through whenever I try so I've taken it to prime mines white instead. The only thing I dislike about white primer however is how unforgiving it is. If you miss a small part on the figurine, it will show where as black will fade itself into the overall paintjob a lot easier.

WarriorFish Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 That's why the Emperor invented foundation paints! Mechrite Red is what you're looking for - whenever you need to cover a darker colour a foundation paint will do the job in 2 coats or less (WarriorFish guarantee!). Here it is, being inconspicuous in TheDarkOne's picture :rolleyes: http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo83/TheDarkOnePB/Witch%20Hunters/seraphim027.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195338-painting-the-last-of-my-sisters-1850/#findComment-2333212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkOne Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Good Eye WarriorFish... Here's the colours I used on the models: Armor: Macherite Red Red Gore Blood Red Black Wash Boltgun Metal Face: Tallaran flesh Bronzed Flesh Elf Flesh Ogryn Flesh Wash Hair: Adepticon Battlegrey White Robes: Chaos Black Blood Red Blazing Orange Sunburst Yellow Skull White Blues: Enchanted Blue Lightning Bolt Blue Skull White Ashuraman Blue Wash I'm driving down to Chicago today for the start of Adepticon tomorrow. Its a long drive from Toronto, but it should be a fun weekend! I will post battle reports and pictures when I'm home on Monday. in the mean time, wish me luck!

WarriorFish Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Cool, I really like the colours you've done. I'm still trying to work out a scheme for my Sisters, currently I'm musing on a purple for the primary colour but your blue and red look great (I have the painting bug; all my armies are in for "scheme updates"... including my Guard! ;) ). Though I'm pretty sure the Sisters would look good in any colour so perhaps that's why I can't decide :P If nothing else the time and effort you've put in should mean the Emprah will grant you his favour in battle for fielding such a great looking army. Good luck, I'll keep an eye out for your reports - especially the pictures! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195338-painting-the-last-of-my-sisters-1850/#findComment-2333417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
