Cpt. Lacerus Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Get a big fat banner on the back of Ragnar and that would look pretty damn good and original. Nice wolves man, crisp and clean painting. Keep it up and keep posting.

deadlift58 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 very crisp colors, how are you doing it? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206549-novasminis-update-2610-dread-commission/#findComment-2464501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
novasminis Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 which colours are you refering to? all I can say for most of what I paint is that it all comes down to thinning your paints ans applying several layers. Generally I do a basecoat (over black primer), then a bedab black wash, then another coat or two or a lighter shade from the original basecoat. sometimes more layers are required (red and yellow) but the wash helps define the borders between one colour and another as well as one portion of the model to the other. I would prefer to do all the shading from a darker colour as i have in the past, instead of a wash, but that would take far to long.

deadlift58 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 specifically the grey if you wouldnt mind Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206549-novasminis-update-2610-dread-commission/#findComment-2465014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 The base color looks like it's either Fenris Grey or Shadow Grey (most likely Fenris as, being a Foundation Paint, would make your basecoating work far easier, even when diluted). From there I'd hazard a guess and say Astronomicon Grey or Space Wolves Grey mixed with a bit of the base color for highlights, maybe working up to either pure Astronomicon or Space Wolves. Kudos on the very crisp and clean army, and I applaud the technique and patience required (although personally I'm more a fan of blending instead of edge highlighting).

Frontline989 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Awesome work. Looks similar to my own, though yours is superior. Wondering why you used the regular scout heads instead of the SW ones included in the sprues? Not that they look bad, just curious.

novasminis Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 the grey is a shadow grey basecoat over chaos black undercoat, then i do a bedab black wash, after that i mix the shadow grey with a hint of fortress grey to lighten it a bit, and do a whole coat of that avoiding the shadows. then to finish i do another mix of shadow grey and fortress grey for the highlighting, this time with much more fortress grey. if i had the time i would do blending instead, as i have on some high elves ive painted, but the aim is to get this army completed so edge higlighting is much faster. also no paticular reason why i used those heads, just did, lol. i like painting something slightly different everytime and id just done the 2 units of 10, so something simple was a nice change Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206549-novasminis-update-2610-dread-commission/#findComment-2465755 Share on other sites More sharing options...

novasminis Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Basically finished a predator tank, just needs some small touch ups, but thought it was worth uploading while i had the time, enjoy.

bulley Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Really like that army, I do prefer it when people keep their SW's darker. I really like your tanks. Normally I really dislike the whole "battle worn/muddy" effects, but something looks so right about yours, the "chips" and faded paint make sense rather than, as they often are, just there for the sake of it, which I think is unreal.

Bay Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 These are some beautiful wolves you got here, job well done, Sir! Ever considered drilling out any of the weapons muzzles?

novasminis Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 thanks, I'm really happy with how they came out as well. I had to put a lot of consideration into the muddy scratched look, and decided that if you go to far with it its takes away something from the model, so i kept it more low key. @Bay - im definatly going to consider drilling out the weapon muzzles, I did drill out the bullet damage on the tanks, but never thought about doing it for the weapons.

Bay Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Even if you end up not doing so, I don't think it would matter for you have some great models to show around. Maybe for future projects!

novasminis Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well finished up painting a unit of Sanguinary guard i got a while back, happy with the results, was going to build a whole blood angel army but dont really have the cash at the moment so am just selling these of on ebay, will hopefully be able to afford a whole army at some point in the future. hope you like the colour scheme, not really a fan of the blueish wings so went with the purple instead, also had a go with using shading in metallics, which worked when I was patient (the first model) and not so well when I wanted to get the rest of the models finished. http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02190.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02191.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02193.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02194.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02195.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02199.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02202.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02203.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02205.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02206.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/sanguinary%20guard/DSC02209.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206549-novasminis-update-2610-dread-commission/#findComment-2517711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
novasminis Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 well having rummaged through my old warhammer from eons ago, I discovered an old marneus calgar and decided that id have to give him a go. had a look around for some inspiration and found the images of the newer verion that won the gold demon open category in 2008, so thought id paint him in that style just for some practice with NMM and shaded armour. I'm very happy with how he came out, though not so happy with the white on the cape. The base is simple as I currently dont have any glue, but may update it in the future. http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/Marneus%20Calgar/DSC02228.jpghttp://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/Marneus%20Calgar/DSC02230.jpghttp://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/Marneus%20Calgar/DSC02231.jpghttp://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/Marneus%20Calgar/DSC02234.jpghttp://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/Marneus%20Calgar/DSC02241.jpghttp://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/Marneus%20Calgar/DSC02240.jpghttp://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/icemanbb/Marneus%20Calgar/DSC02239.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206549-novasminis-update-2610-dread-commission/#findComment-2518504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRCHAOS Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 :) You Sir have talent! One thing though Ragnars chain sword the highlight at the top left hand side, needs a bit of a seing to!
