Zacharius Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Realised I have this up on 40KO but not on here. Doh. Anyway, rustled up a conversion based on awesome artwork recently, which led to me producing this: http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p1/tripswitch84/P1010024.jpg And then on with the painting. Basecoat: http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p1/tripswitch84/P1010012.jpg Followed by a heavy wash of Badab Black: http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p1/tripswitch84/P1010014-2.jpg Then layered with 50/50 mix of Dark Flesh and Blood Red: http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p1/tripswitch84/P1010025.jpg I've started the first highlight, but bad light is stopping me go any further for today. More to come as I make progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgefather Vulkan Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 What a fantastic mini!! You got a kit list for that? May make one myself! Oh and could you post a more detailed painting guide as the above is a bit 'hazy' sorry to be a pain Forgefather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacharius Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 You got a kit list for that? Yep. To re-create it, you will need the following: Bretonian Pegasus Wings Sanguinary Guard Jump Pack Sanguinary Guard Front Torso Sanguinary Guard Legs Sanguinary Guard Axe Sanguinary Guard Infernus Pistol Space Marine Commander Iron Halo Space Marine Commander Rear Torso Black Templar Crusader Helmet Dark Angel Helmet Wings Blood Angels Forgeworld Terminator Shoulder Pads I think that was everything. Oh and could you post a more detailed painting guide as the above is a bit 'hazy' sorry to be a pain There's not really a lot of detail to go into as such, at least in these initial stages. I did the basecoat of red gore using the citadel spraygun, I get a much smoother base to work from that way as opposed to doing it by hand. The black wash is just liberally applied over the armour using a tank brush. Athen once that had dried, I applied my layer mix over all the armour, leaving the shading in the recesses and around the edges of any detail (Well, as best I can, I have quite shakey hands when trying to do detail work). Hope that satisfies your curiosity. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacharius Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Oh and how did you attatch those wings Badly. ^_^ In all seriousness, this is the weak part of the conversion. Basically I just clipped the taps from them and wedged them between the jump pack and the shoulder pads. I have a rear-view shot (pre-paint) of what it looks like from behind so you can see what I mean. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p1/tripswitch84/P1010003-3.jpg As you can see, it's not perfect. I'm sure someone could come up with a better way of doing it, but it looks okay enough I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgefather Vulkan Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Cheers, still looks good! Just tried out the red scheme on my DIY BA chapter I'm trying out which is half red and purple, though just spilt blood red on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus Mortifer Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Knowing the original artwork well, that is a pretty cool representation mate. <_< Excellent stuff... and consider the idea well and truly knicked :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacharius Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Got some highlighting done today. Just need to do a red wash over the top of this to tie everything together and then re-highlight slightly. This is the stage I hate, as I find highlighting quite tricky to say the least. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p1/tripswitch84/P1010020.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacharius Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 And here we are after the red wash and then a re-highlight. Essentially, the red armour is completely done now. Next step will be to paint the details liked the winged blood drops, etc. That will have to wait though as the light isn't good enough to carry on today. I need to get me one of those lamps with a daylight bulb or something. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p1/tripswitch84/P1010003-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacharius Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Just finished off the wings on the armour/helmet. Sloooow progress, but I'm just struggling to get more than an hour or so a night at the moment. And I'm a slow enough painter as it is. But here we are. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p1/tripswitch84/wip.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsama Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I've been fighting with myself about how best to paint the mass of my army. This looks amazing!! Thank you for this insperation!! One question, have you ever tried basing white before red, to try to brighten the armor at all?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacharius Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 One question, have you ever tried basing white before red, to try to brighten the armor at all?? I use white primer for red models, if that counts? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsama Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 That is indeed what I mean. I wasn't sure if the red on the pack wings was transfer or rub, so I thought I would ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacharius Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Yeah, it's mostly rub (there are a few specks of grey where I slipped whilst trying to find an angle at some points of the helmet wings). The wings are a pretty convenient point to hold the model by, and as they will be the last thing to paint I figured it wouldn't do any harm.

Chaplain Hiltraud Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Having the original artwork as my current screen saver, I've got to say that the mini is looking awesome so far! Like many others I will be keeping an eye on this thread, I'm looking forward to seeing the fully painted finished product! Great job. Yours in Honour and Faith, Chaplain Hiltraud [EDIT] on a side note, what's rub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsama Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Rub is where the oils on your fingers rub the paint off of the modle while you're holding it and painting other spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
