Jarakin Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yeah, I'm kindof wishing I went for Flesh Tearers as I love their fluff too, that and they're less ornate than the blood angels, so would be easier to paint for a noob like myself! lol. Angels Encarmine look awesome and I love their logo.. Ah well, maybe next time! Will definitely keep an eye out for updates on your blog, looking forward to it. :D As for the quickshade's shinyness, I've seen quite a few tutorials on quickshade and yeah, they really are shiny afterwards, but I've got some AP matt anti-shine varnish, so hopefully it'll do the job! Hopefully I'll get a chance to use the quickshade tomorrow, but I think life is going to get in the way... we'll see! Would really love some more C&C and anyone have any ideas on how I should shade the yellow helmet? Perhaps some more progressive washes/touch ups? Any better ideas? Cheers guys :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201330-a-newbies-ponderings-and-dilemmas-pic-heavy-updated/page/2/#findComment-2416124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril hound Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 MOULD LINES!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201330-a-newbies-ponderings-and-dilemmas-pic-heavy-updated/page/2/#findComment-2416288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarakin Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 MOULD LINES!! There's a reason I used this mini as a test model for my painting, and that is exactly it, I missed a few mould lines on the leg/jet pack on this one and it's a vanilla assault marine, so it's easily replaceable and I wasn't too nervous about "getting it right" as it was replaceable. I've spent a considerable amount of time clearing up mould lines etc. on all my models. Anyway, was really hoping for something a bit more constructive.

IronKobra Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 well, you seem to have the right idea really man...just needs some practice to clean it up. For a how you put it 'noob' I'd say you're doing very well! In terms of shading the yellow, I would maybe just highlight it more to made the shade look darker.

Thanks alot mate, appreciate the comments! :) Yeah I think I'll try some highlighting on the helmet, but need to look around for some inspiration though as my last helmet highlighting experiment didn't work so well!
