Saphos Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hello. I painted a Pedro Cantor for my Imperial Fists army. I used the Sicarius plumed helmet to make it look a little different. I like how it turned out. I used the same approach as with my Venerable Dreadnought: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...p;#entry2306299 I seem not to be able to properly photograph yellow. ^^ He looks better in real life. And I fumbled a little with the matte varnish. It was a little much and misted the black a little too strong. I thought that the Vallejo matte from the can was waterbased but it was not as receptive to watering down as I hoped. It developed some ugly white spots in places. I noticed on the photos that there some places I missed in repairing. I will do so next weekend. Still, I like how he turned out and I hope you enjoy as well: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ And two wip just before the application of the Quickshade: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4578...57623991539514/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkainos Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 You, my friend, are a master. I have an imperial fist army, but have only just started delving into the dipping technique. Looks like I will be following your methods closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Looks outstanding! Given my limited time to paint these days, this Quickshade stuff might be what I need to pop out some very nice rank & file. Just one more question: I realise it's not meant to be painted over, but could you paint over it if you wanted to (with GW paints)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintner Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Looks outstanding! Given my limited time to paint these days, this Quickshade stuff might be what I need to pop out some very nice rank & file. Just one more question: I realise it's not meant to be painted over, but could you paint over it if you wanted to (with GW paints)? as far as I seen it can be painted over and touched up. but as the quickshade 8the ones I seen) often are a bit gloss it might look weird if you don't matt coat the whole model as it would be mixed between gloss and matt.

Vredesbyrd Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Very cool mate, I was tempted to put my Quickshade to back of the cupboard never to be used until I saw your models. Nice conversion on Sicarius' helmet, and good use of the Kantor mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodlenerd Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Very nice. I'm using quickshade myself, for my blood angels, I love it! Good conversion, simple conversion too. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Whenever I've used Quickshade in the past, I've base coated, quickshaded, then gone back over with regular highlights, then used the antishine matt varnish. Worked out well so far. Anyone got any examples of Blood Angels done with Quickshade (in red I mean, not the gold)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saphos Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thank`s all. :) When I put him together it was with the usual helmet first. This looked too bland besides my ohter miniatures and the Sicariushelmet addressed that perfectly without being over the top. I am glad you like it. Painting over the Shade should be possible, I read of several people doing that. Some trial Blood Angel minis done with Quickshade: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=199002 The white highlights on one of them are more grainy than they normally would be. I just rushed it with the basecoat (Armypainter) and it turned out rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vredesbyrd Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I must admit I've found the standard Kantor helm a bit standard for a Chapter Master, especially one of a Second Founding Chapter! It had been the one thing putting me off the model, but no longer! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice for All Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yellow, the bane of us all. You have done a damned good job of that fine model. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
