Brother Captain Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Recipe for the wings: - Basecoat with a 1:1 mix of Adeptus Battlegrey : Astronomican Grey - Wash with Asurmen Blue - Highlight with Codex Grey - Highlight with Fortress Grey - Highlight with a 1:1 mix of Fortress Grey : Skull White - Highlight with Skull White - Paint recesses with a 1:1 watered down mix of Chaos Black : Necron Abyss - Touch up highlights with Skull White I found out that for the jump pack wings it's better to use a larger brush (size 2 or GW standard brush) for all highlighting except the final Skull White highlight and even at that stage I recomend the use of a smaller brush for the extreme edges only. Using a larger brush will not only make highlighting easier but it will help you manipulate paint towards the edges of the feathers.Furtheromore it will help build up some texture on your highlights to emitate the texture of the feathers in the wings. For the rest of the feathery bits you can highlight normally as the individual feathers are too small to use a large brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 This project is moving at snail pace lately but at least I managed to paint something on the mini. I painted a couple of gems to test out the technique I "borrowed" from Dezzarfox. I slightly altered the technique and I must say I'm very pleased with the end result so the rest of the gems will be painted in the same way. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0005-4.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0004-4.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0002-6.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0001-5.jpg Paint recipe: - Basecoat Tausept Ochre - Highlight with Sunburst Yellow - 2 washes of Baal Red - Highlight with Sunburst Yellow - Highlight with Skull white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Since I was pretty happy with how the test gems turned out, I went on and painted the rest of them in the same way. I'm still undecided on the round gems. I am thinking of doing them in the same way as the other gems - glowing towards the middle. I'm unsure of how it will look however since this is an unconventional aproach for round gems. If anybody has tried something similar let me know how it worked out. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0010-4.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0009-4.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0008-5.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0007-4.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0006-6.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0005-5.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0004-5.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0001-6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 The gems need a bright white highlight and the yellow gems ought to reflect some of teh surrounding deeper gold shade as well, as at the moment they look like yellow blobs. Apart from the slightly rough surface this is an excellent piece of work, I'm following closely to see whetehr I use it for my own marines.

Brother Captain Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 @ Hemal: I wanted the gems to look like the were glowing from the inside and that's why I went for this technique. I'm not sure of how well I achieved this effect though. :D I've worked the highlights up to pure white but (I know it's a cliche but I'll say it) the pictures don't show it well. I really like your suggestion about having the gems reflect the surrounding colours but, to be honest, I don't think I have the skills to pull it off. Since you're interested in this technique you should check out these threads by Dezartfox: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=197240 and http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=208483 The first is where I got my inspiration from and the second is his new take on the same army. ;) Pretty amazing work. @ glider0880. Thanks! :rolleyes: I may dissapoint you a bit as the sword will probaly be the last thing I'll paint since I'm still undecided on the colour.

Brother Captain Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 I've finally managed to defeat my laziness and pick up my brushes! I didn't do much work and it was not very enjoyable since I painted stuff that should have been painted in previous stages, namely the round gems and the sword hilt. However I'm now faced with the more enjoyable parts like the scrolls and purity seals. Not so sure about the round gems though. I may leave them as they are or add a white highlight at the top corner or... well I really don't know so all ideas are welcome. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0005-6.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0004-6.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0003-5.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0002-7.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/IMG_0001-7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Here's a pic with white reflection dots photoshopped onto the round gems. You can also find the same pic in high resolution in my blog. Take a look and tell me what you think. Should I go withe the dots? http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/Brother_Captain/Storm%20Ghosts%20Marines/Sanguinor/Photoshoped-white-dots.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Absolutely - it looks good. one additional critique - a unifying glaze - thinned yellow for example, will remove teh chalky effect probably, though it looks great atm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Actually I was thinking about adding a glaze myself, probably one coat of thinned down gryphone sepia on the round gems. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I've been following this with great interest and I usually try to leave some form of critique. I won't do it today, except to say that what started out as a really good paint job has turned into a truly amazing one. It's been a treat to follow this almost step by step and I look forward to seeing him finished. Keep it up! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
