Brother Horse Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Finally figured out a colour scheme for the Sanguinary Guard for my Flesh Tearers, didn't want it to be the uber shiny BA ones, so I based mechrite red, drybrushed shining gold and then light mitril and washed with ogryn flesh. I kept the shoulder pads and wings black with mithril drybrushing to keep it in tone with the Flesh Tearers I'm working on in between my Crimson Fists. The sword I did redish just because all my Crimson Fists have light blue power weapns and I wanted something different ;) http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/ulhorse/return4118.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/ulhorse/return4117.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/ulhorse/return4116.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/ulhorse/return4115.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother 'Ussell Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Solid tabletop quality paintjob+, also bonus points for the base. Drill out the barrel and scrape those mould lines! I'm not sure I'm digging the strange thing they got going on with the helmet top on these models, just seems clumsy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Horse Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 thanks mate, where do you see the mould line? I should have got all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Desmodus Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I like it. If I were you, I'd darken the gold even more by adding some washes. Purple, red, flesh wash would work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Horse Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 got a second guy done, cant seem to brighten up my photos for some reason. need to get good lighting for them, but the side one shows that they are still pretty bright. I'm also quite happy that he defys gravity so well on his base http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/ulhorse/return4123.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/ulhorse/return4120.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Horse Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 he actually stands perfectly on the base with no weights, hes swinging his gigantic axe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espada Azul Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I really like the worn-out look that the paint scheme conveys, but it's still far too 'clean' for the Flesh Tearers. No plans on doing weathering or paint chipping effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Horse Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 not a fan of chipping as such, I may muddy them up a bit around the legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Q- Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Flesh Tearers are Imperial Marines and despite any bedtime stories from scared Guardsmen (or wussy Ultras ;)) they are a professional prideful Chapter. There is no reason to expect that they wouldn't care for their sacred armor keeping it clean and in good repair between battles. In fact I find it all the more important that they remain as disciplined as possible to help prevent themselves and their Battle Brothers from needlessly falling to the Curse when every Soul is so vital to the Chapter's survival, Sanguinius' legacy, and service of the Emperor. Aheh. So don't weather if you won't want to :D As for these models I would suggest trying at least one with a black helmet. I think it was a smart way to go with the blackened shoulderpads and shoulderpad decor. If you don't want to go fully black, try just the face part in black with the halo still in gold. I myself am doing something similar to what I mention. The black helmet/shoulderpad combo is what pulls the Flesh Tearers apart visually so go all the way with it! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
