Oliver Twist Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I've just spend the weekend painting this up. Its the start of a new BA army for me. I hope you enjoy it! I haven't had this much fun painting in a while. Hopefully that bodes well for the rest. I probably won't get many more BA's painted in the next few weeks as I'll be on holiday, which is a shame, because I'm rearing to go. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3370.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3368.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3367.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3365.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3363.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3362.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3361.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3358.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3351.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3355.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3346.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3339.jpg *edit* I stole the hatch design from someone here, but I can't seem to find them. I'd like to give them credit. Any body recognize it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talyn Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 my paint skills suddenly seem so... inadequate... that is just beautiful, amazing freehand, and that red is just perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Twist Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Thank you Talyn. I'm grateful. The red was painted as follows: Solid Red Gore basecoat shade bottom with 50/50 red gore/liche purple shade bottommost little bit with the above mixed with a little bit of black highlight top third or so with 50/50 red gore/blood red add a highlight of blood red only mix in bronzed flesh bit by bit for increased highlights, then very finely highlight both the top and bottom edges. Now that I look at it again, I can see I forgot to finish off the little red emblem on the front right bumper. Back at it then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowhand Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 That is so crisp! I personally love the whole feeling and the red ist on of the best reds I have seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 ;) , that's awesome! :( your freehand is amazing! Anymore to show? (other tanks/models/etc...?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Twist Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Slowhand, thank you! I tried hard for the red. I'm glad you like it so much. Ludovic :P cheers! Alas, I don't have much of my stuff with me as I'm at Uni right now. I have a few free handy things to show though, but none are blood angels. This rhino is the first of many, but still the first and only. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3381-1.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3379.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3377.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/OliverTwist_01/IMG_3374.jpg I'm trying to wrap up that space wolves army this week. Its pretty tiny. Pictures soon I hope. The Ultramarines are a different story. I started them...like two years ago. I'm half way done, but life has really tripped up finishing that army!

Dosjetka Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Wow, I love the first two freehands! Awesome stuff!

Ecritter Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I have but one thing to say. I hate you with the hate that burns like a thousand suns. Yes its that good a paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Twist Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Ecritter: Thank you man. I'm honored. Lensoven, cheers! Dhx, Ludovic, indeed, that does look distinctly like bacon, not that out of character for a SW! Thanks guys. I'm sad that I wont get to work on BA stuff for three weeks. Hopefully after my easter holiday I'll have time for some crazy BA painting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

son of sanguinus Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 is that rhino single? if so can i have its phone number? jokes aside that rhino is amazing(could we have some free hand tutorials?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Twist Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Warpig, thank you so much ^_^ Son of Sang: It is single - for now. As soon as I get back to uni, she's getting picked up by a matching dread. I don't have her number, but the license plate is AB 07 09 12. Maybe that will help? Next time I do some free hand, I'll do a step by step and post a tutorial. The first example might not be as elaborate as this one, but I'll do my best to come up with something special and teachable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarmyAndy Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The weathering on your tracks look great, how did you get the powdery effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Twist Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Its a drybrush of calthan brown, followed up with a liberal application of forgeworld modeling pigment, called Dark Sand. I mixed Forgeworld's rust color with Mig pigment thinner to do the rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yo buddy, the DC Rhino is brilliant! But I have to pick your brains about the freehand banner. What colours did you use for that gold NMM effect. My girlfriend wants to try a very similar look on her Ahriman. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Twist Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks IronKobra. No problem, the NMM banner was done starting with a mix of scorched brown and chaos black. I then blended in scorched brown, then added bronzed flesh, then added bleached bone. Just slow incremental mixing of the above. *as it were, there might be some vermin brown mixed in between the scorched brown and bronzed flesh** I just remembered that.
