fishsticks Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Well, I decided to try out a scheme other than that of the Ultramarines, so I decided to do something I knew I wasn't going to be good at. White. This, as far as I know, isn't the color scheme (white and gold) of any chapter I know so I decided to name them "Archangels" The point of this thread is also feedback on my painting of white, so tell me what you think. Tell me what you think and how I can make it better! P.S. I know the barrel of the bolt pistol isn't drilled out. I don't have a drill lol.

WarInHeaven Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 white is a bloody hard color to paint, but you did a very nice job at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Priest Haelaeif Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I like it a lot. One thing you might change is add a black line around the golden insignia on his shoulder pads, because gold and white is not enough of a contrast on its own in my opinion, and on the parts you blacklined the two colours look very good together.

Brother Nezulius Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I know how hard it is to get a nice white paintjob, so I have to say good job. Â Although I would recommend to think hard about if you want to make an all white army. But if you don't mind the extra work on the white, have a blast! You sure will have an origional army that will catch peoples eye. Â Â Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Very nice, the gold and white compliment each other beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcm979 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Very nice. I've been toying with using white on a DIY chapter I have in mind, and this gives me hope that it could turn out well. What's your method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tirian Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 first of all: bloody good job on the white :cuss  secondly: i'm wondering the same as Pcm...how did you get it to turn out so well?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 white is a bloody hard color to paint, but you did a very nice job at it! Â I agree, it is a hard colour to paint. But you've made it come out well :P Tell us your method ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 A whole army in that scheme would look out standing. Great job on the white! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosxVoid Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 My old space marine army is white and there is alittle trick to not make it looks so thick, just spray it white and run the edges with black ink or whatever they call it now, and do one or two lays of thinned down white do make it white...just have clean fingers..white likes to grab dirt (: anyways my two cents  xvoidx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Wow, I didn't really expect this many posts haha. Â Thank you everyone for your kind words. Â For this white all I really did was basecoat the model in back, paint bleached bone over all the to-be white areas, and paint thin layers of white (diluted 50:50 with water) over the bleached bone. I don't really have any gray so for gray I painted designated parts white and washed them with black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faol Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 What I'd like to see personally for this army is a command squad and some champs they would be epic :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz1858 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Wow, I didn't really expect this many posts haha. Â Anyone that tackles white and manages to pull it off is worthy of plenty posts! Im building an Omega Marines army so any ideas about painting white over a black undercoat are well received. I'll be putting you bleached bone to test tomorrow.

Just a heads up, this method of white is going to take a while. (I don't know how long other methods take) Â Good luck though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontline989 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I think the models looks very decent. I do not envy you on painting your whole army in that scheme. Â I painted two shoulder pads today for my Wolf Guard and wanted to pull my hair out! Stupid me for choosing the Great Company with a white Company marking but ah well. Its only a couple dozen shoulder pads I told myself. Â Keep it up though. If you stick with it you can be certain you'll be one of the few in the game with a army like that.

Vostok3 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Very nice, I rather like the insignia without any sort of outlining, it makes it a very subtle, but dramatic effect, almost like it's inlaid or filigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
