Tessio Niri Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Just a select of the Ultramarines special character to start with. More to follow once I get round to painting them.

Brother Anvilus Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 First off: crisp painting, nice :) bu maybe add in a few washes ( badad black on the boltgun metal, sepia on the gold, etc etc ) and it'll be much better ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFortunato Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I LOVE that blue (on Sicarius especially)... how did you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessio Niri Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 The blue on all my Ultramarines is just regal blue on a black undercoat with a drybrush of ultramarine blue. When varnished the colours tend to become more vibrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFortunato Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Cheers ;) I think i may give that a go... it would look equally good for Crimson fists as well i reckon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFortunato Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Cheers ;) I think i may give that a go... it would look equally good for Crimson fists as well i reckon... EDIT: Oh, what do you varnish with? Gloss varnish? Purity seal (thats 'ardcoat right), or matte? I heard also on another forum that another way to get a similar look would be to do regal blue over a black undercoat, then do either space wolf grey highlights, or mix regal blue & space-wolf grey, and highlight with that... Would it look similar? Thanks a bundle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessio Niri Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 I've found that light spray of purity seal (satin) works best for me. I've never used space wolve grey but i could imagine it would make the highlights alot brighter. In moderation it should work quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFortunato Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Riight, are there any tips on using purity seal effectively? I remember using it once and it wrecking a crisis suit... going all 'snowy'... white blotchy patches all over :/ Dont fancy risking it again... so any tips on doing it properly? Thanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessio Niri Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I know I have had problems while using it in a cold environment such as my garden shed, that why I tend not do much painting in winter as all the sprays I have tried have had the same problem. The only real advice I can give is to shake really well for about a minute before use, keep a distance of roughly 30cm/1foot, and then a light mist to all sides but not directly at the models.
