Aqui Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The wreath stands out well enough to me Rider, and still looks Ultra Marine-y.

Rider-75 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yeah I don't think I want to overdo it and make him less ultramariney. What about the NMM gold? Will it pass as gold on the cloth of a back banner?

Lestat Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I quite like the dark green for the Alphas - I've never seen them as being blue. As for the freehand, I do remember someone doing a tutorial once - don't know if it was in a thread or the tutorials section. Doing a search might turn something up.

Rider-75 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I think I've finished the Captain. I may add a back banner which I'm in the progress of painting, but it depends how well the NMM gold on the cloth turns out...

I've also got my hands on a Contemptor - my god are there a lot of parts... and NO INSRUCTIONS! :P So many cool ball joints and hinge joints on it though, it's going to be super cool to pose. It even comes with extra diferent feet depending how you want the legs/stride/pose to work out.

Rider-75 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ignoring (or at least trying to....) the contemptor, I'm moving onto the Grey Knights. This is why I've got so far on one of them. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/grey%20knights/98FE69A8-B684-4592-AA47-5A58433E82D3-2838-0000048F7D4E1F57.jpg Feedback required from the IBoH: what do you think of the red storm Bolter case? Too big a contrast? Stick out like a sore thumb? Go back to black? I think may wait until the minis complete and see if the use of red elsewhere (like the tilt shield) helps pull it back a bit.

Click here to join in with the madness and potentially win a prize! There is a nifty prize for the winner, but I have also added a prize that anyone can win as it will be randomly given to all participants who have completed the challenge!

Rider-75 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Come on folks..... Lets keep this alive :) Here's my stuff... What I really want is feedback on the base. Is it overdone? Is the Word Bearer obviously a Word bearer? Is it just me or is the green pipe pulling the eye too much? Bit of progress tonight. I decided I'd not manage to paint him on he base as there was too much going on and would end up making mistakes and continually correcting stuff after... So popped him off the base and got cracking on. Finished the base, bar edging and some tufts of grass - these will be done right at the end of the painting. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/FF9DA413-6231-4DCA-9F29-4C22AC2B78E2-1150-000001A365A9BE04.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/F9402894-A5C8-4F45-B62D-64A8CE8F649B-1150-000001A36B6537E6.jpg And made some progress on the dread himself too. Mainly finishing off reclining the details in black and almost competes the main metal areas. Also got some codex grey on the knees and helm. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/66F1FA19-E251-45A0-8190-AB570FA474E3-1150-000001A3786E4C78.jpg Next job is to start going through each area one at a time and finishing it. Ie: I'll finish up the left left, then the right, then the torso completed, then the cannon arm, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205686-international-brotherhood-of-hobbyists/page/57/#findComment-3249080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Progress update, small, but beginning to look more complete!! Got the knees done. Not very exciting admittedly! And I put a little white on the head just to stop it going to waste... http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/E7210EEE-B480-4364-9122-BA4DF23943E0-3907-000004FB1E2AF589.jpg Also worked on the Kheres barrels, giving them a kind of heat stained effect from all that blasting away at the heretic scum. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/8904585D-B3F5-499D-9508-6A651663AC3B-3907-000004FB15F8DC79.jpg And tonight I worked on the gold.

Rider-75 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I saw you wrote Word Bearer but I can not tell by the model. Surely Word Bearers should be more red (they were at Calth)? I think by the time they reached Calth they had for the most part adopted the crimson previously reserved for the Gal Vorbek if we are being fluffy. I've taken a little leeway by going with the dark granite grey of pre heresy and adding a little crimson detail. Main reason for this was that I didn't want the strong crimson of the dead marine to detract from, and pull the eye away from, the actual contemptor model itself. I you look on the righ shoulder you can just make out the burning book icon under the battle damage an dirt :P http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/FF9DA413-6231-4DCA-9F29-4C22AC2B78E2-1150-000001A365A9BE04.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205686-international-brotherhood-of-hobbyists/page/57/#findComment-3254748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Basic paint job finished an he's reattached to his base. Following a variety of comments I added more crimson to the word bearer to make him more in keeping with the Calth attack. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/26F3DFB1-26A4-43A3-B949-3B0B9DEFCCD3-1460-0000026C40DA9DEE.jpg Hopefully it makes him a bit more Word Bearery...

Rider-75 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Finally, after much time and fidgeting and procrastination, not to mention avoidance, and family life, the old boy is finished! I really enjoyed assembling and painting this for the most part. The poseablilty and options in the kit are truly fantastic. There were times when I couldn't see the bugger far enough - noteably after I'd finished the blue, going round and recoating everything else in black was relentlessly tedious.... It's been a bit of a learning curve for a few techniques. I've tried a bit more work on adding small chips and scratches using just paint, and I've had a go with weathering powders too. Anyway, enough preamble, on with the show! http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/3CA6619E-4F79-418C-BD16-7BDC480C948E-5222-00000691E3FF341B.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/48084DA6-BFA6-479F-8A91-7407F15323AA-5233-000006931B51D6E8.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/F2CBE78C-42DF-4801-84D2-C7CFE7FBC2EC-5233-00000693220B8B69.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/FD8CA9E1-2C36-4518-BCCB-AB3A587B7CD7-5233-0000069328200B50.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/9BD3B484-4FD0-48B7-BF09-5EF828BE94A0-5233-000006932E6C4B2E.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/E3351304-39E3-4427-82B2-43FC49753EF3-5233-0000069334A2AA82.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/F11D48F6-8454-4CCA-AB0B-2FC6BE497D4F-5233-000006933AD321D2.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/contemptor/DC16A139-748A-483A-BAE0-FD28A6C41001-5233-0000069340AFC0ED.jpg Please feel free to leave your comments :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205686-international-brotherhood-of-hobbyists/page/57/#findComment-3301290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
