Brother Captain Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I guess it was time I tried NMM. Luckily I found a technique for painting NMM using mostly washes so it seems less intimidating. Here's where I "borrowed" the technique from: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...197240&st=0 At the moment the mini has only recived two successive washes of Gryphone Sepia over the grey primmer so it's pretty much an early WIP. I think it looks promising though. -_- http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0006.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0005.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0002.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0001.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208290-sanguinor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 It looks like a good start. I would suggest more contrast and lights. You need to be sure to work up to pure white in the brightest points. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208290-sanguinor/#findComment-2485416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I like the dull gold, actually. It changes from the super shiny gold we see all the time from the 'Eavy Metal team and such. But if you're going to make it shiny, that's good too. I'm not exactly modest with my application of gold on my own models either. Also, am I the only one who always thinks "Sanguinator" when I see "Sanguinor"?

Dezartfox Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Awesome, if you need any tips on how to use my scheme just shout :) And I've been calling him the Sanguinator since day one :) I'm actually going to re-build my army slowly, as I had to sell it, luckily it's small and easy to paint :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208290-sanguinor/#findComment-2485446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulley Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I absolutely love it. I just did a test model with both "metalic metal" and non-metalic - which comes out for me as a much duller gold, and I much prefered it. My personal style is a more blend/dull/darker/brooding, however you want to say anyway, so this really is up my alley. Working on my own BA's right now (started about 15 minutes ago), so nice to see a different approach to the same model.

Brother Captain Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's nice to see there's some interest in my NMM attempt. :D @ Master Chaplain Astador: My plan is to highlight the mini up to pure wite and then maybe paint some devlan mud in the recesses if I feel it needs more contrast. :D @ Dezartfox: I think I should just print a pic of your Sanguinor and use it as a reference for highlight placement (if it's ok with you). I was reading your WIP thread again and found the WIP pics very helpfull. Oh and next time you want to sell an army let me know. I might be interested... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208290-sanguinor/#findComment-2486063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Update time! I think the armour is pretty much finished now and I also managed to paint the glow on the jump pack thrusters.

Obliterator Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Really liking how this looks, an the glow from the jetpack is mighty well done. Seconded, the glow of the jump pack is excellent work! What colors were used for that, if I might be so bold? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208290-sanguinor/#findComment-2486869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Actually the glow of the jump pack is pretty easy: - Basecoat with Astronomican Grey - Wash with Asurmen Blue - Highlight with Astronomican Grey (I think that Fortress Grey would work as well if not better due to less pigmentation) - Highlight with Skull White - Glaze with a mix of 1:2 Asurmen Blue:H2O - Highlight with Skull White It may sound like a lot of stages but since you can be quite relaxed as far as highlight placement and "crispness" is concerned it can be done pretty quickly. It's good to have a hair dryer nearby to help the washes dry or, if you have lots of jump packs to paint, you can batch-paint the glow to save time. I'll add this recipe to my blog too so you can find it there allong with the WIP pictures for easy reference. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208290-sanguinor/#findComment-2486953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Another update. I didn't manage to do a lot of work on the mini today. I did however finish the red shoulderpads and I must say I'm quite please with how they turned out and how they tie with the rest of the mini. I also shaded the feathery bits. I think they turned out ok and it will give a nice white with blueish shadows when highlighted with greys and white. I went for blue shading so it contrasts with the warm colours of the mini. In generaly I'm happy with the progress so far. It's moving slowly but I'm enjoying it and learning new techniques. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0010-1.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0008-2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0007-2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0006-3.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0005-3.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0004-1.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0003-2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0002-3.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0001-3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208290-sanguinor/#findComment-2488391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thanks! B) Actually I haven't started work on the sword's blade yet, that's why I haven't touched up the blue paint. I'm thinking of trying a glowing effect using washes of Hawk Turquise. I'm going to paint it last probably so I can be sure it ties with the rest of the mini Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208290-sanguinor/#findComment-2488457 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 After a small absence due to a bit of vacation and a lot of mountain biking I managed to do some work on Sanguinor. At this stage the wings and feathery stuff are almost finished though I'd have to add the final pure white highlight and do a bit of touch up. I'm really happy with how the blueish shading worked out. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0011-1.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0010-2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0009-2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0008-3.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0006-4.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0004-2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0003-3.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0002-4.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0001-4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208290-sanguinor/#findComment-2496032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thanks! :) Actually I haven't started work on the sword's blade yet, that's why I haven't touched up the blue paint. I'm thinking of trying a glowing effect using washes of Hawk Turquise. I'm going to paint it last probably so I can be sure it ties with the rest of the mini Hey Brother Captain, wish i could paint as well as you. However, I think you should make the swords blade red or some other color already on the mini, or you will have too many different colors on the mini, and it will look better if the palette is slightly more limited. A glowing red would work nicely. It would bring out the red on the shoulderpads. Just my 2 cents.

garfey Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 This looks amazing...I'm heading down to my FLGS at lunchtime to get the relevant bits to try this! Quick question, what primer did you use?

Brother Captain Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 @ verpine: To be honest I'm not sure about the sword colour myself. I'll paint it afte the rest of the mini is finished so I can have an idea of how it will tie with the rest of the colours. I'll keep your suggestion in mind ;) @ I used Humbrol acrylic spray primmer but any light grey primmer will do the trick.

Brother Captain Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 The wings and feathers etc are finally finished.
