Angels_Blade Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hey all, My local GW is holding a 'Brotherhood of the Brush' Painting competition where all entrents paint the exact same mini. This month is a Space Marine so I thought I'd have a go at something different. You may all know me for my Knights Scorpio and Dark Angels stuff. Two colours I've never really attempted are Red and Yellow so I thought i'd have a go at a Howling Griffon. The Competition is to see who has made the most progression so even though we have 2 golden deamon winners in our store begginers can compete fairly. I've tried a few new things so please let me know what you think. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382148.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382146.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382145.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382144.jpg Judging is on Saturday so I will take pictures of all entries and post on sat night how I get on. C&C more than welcome. Cheers AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Father Ferrum Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Very nice, I like it. I try to avoid yellow; I'm no good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I think i've said this before but that is just damn awesome! Made me decide on the chapter to paint Golden Demon entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havokas Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 sorry to ask such a obligatory question but i can not let such a nice yellow go unquestioned. could you give a quick step by step of the colors used and also what colors have you used to do the battle damage? also lovely freehand on the shoulder pad, your a fantastic painter.

Angels_Blade Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Sure thing, Ilyandon Darksun base Scorched Brown/Chaos Black wash in recess Ilyandon mixed with sunburst sunburst yellow final coat highlights are sunburst mixed with a bit of skull white Battle damage is the final highlight stage then scorched brown and boltgun metal. Cheers for the comments wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yellow isn't that hard once you learn the trick called basecoating with Skull white. I have just finished puting on the paint on my Howling Griffons, just some inkting and basing to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfacedboy_uk1 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I'd agree with the comment above, never unbderstood why people thought my yellows on my howling griffons were good. I use bad moon yellow for my howling griffons but they are all WIP. I have lots of catching up today, but i really love the howling griffon scheme - good paintjob here mate. dfb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
