robnik_35 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 This is the ruined addition to my first urban apartment style building. I'm thinking about making some wall slabs that have circular blast holes int them so that floors other than the top can have battle damge add ons, but I haven't gotten there quite yet. I have finished up another style of building, with more of a commercial/warehouse look. I'll get some pics up of that one in a couple days I hope.

perfectionist Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I think generally speaking they look like good ruined houses. however they don't scream 40k to me, I think it's because of the color. Imho the walls are far too pink. Could be the picture of course, but I like a more dark scheme for 40k. Cheers, Perfectionist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Maybe a drab dark gray would have been better, but the buildings themselves are pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnik_35 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 The colour I used there was "heritage brick". It did turn out more red than I would have liked, which finished with a white drybrush, ended up pinkish. Not the end of the world, but I'm having better success using browns to get the brick look now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCrawford Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I agree with making it a bit more drab. I'd also think some Imperial iconography would really tie it into the 40K universe (the odd Aquila here and there, IG recruiting posters, banners, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnik_35 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Where is a good place to get poster PDF's? I think aquilas should be easy enough from Forge World or Ebay, but I'm stumped on the artwork... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 The colour I used there was "heritage brick". It did turn out more red than I would have liked, which finished with a white drybrush, ended up pinkish. Not the end of the world, but I'm having better success using browns to get the brick look now. Maybe try some washes to get it darker? Baal Red, Gryphonne Sepia and Devlan Mud foexample, thinned down, and applied randomly to get different colors on different parts of the wall. Or a Dark Flesh/Terracota glaze. I wouldn't paint them all grey, but I would try to darken it all up. I'd try to get some contrasting color on the doors and windows, the light pink somehow doesn't 'pop'. I'd also try to 'weather' the battle damage a bit. The interior and upper edges are too clean to have been in a bombardment. A Scorched Brown or Chaos Black drybrush around the edges would give it some more realism I think. Also some debris on the first floor to give a hint of where that roof went would also give some added value. Those can be kept relatively flat so your models won't struggle to keep their balance. Other then that, it's a pretty sweet model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCrawford Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'm not sure, but some good inspiration might be to look at old World War 2 posters. There's also a brief cutscene in Dawn of War 2 which shows some of them. After that, just fire up Photoshop/GIMP/whatever and hack away at some IG art off of Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnik_35 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks guys, I'll be checking out deviantart in abit here. I like the rubble idea a lot, I have enough miscast pieces that it should be easy to come by. I want to get some walls below the top floor with damage as well, but its all an ongoing thing.
