sideshowscott Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi there A while ago I opened a command squad box that I had for ages. I assembles the models and undercoater em, then as always, was distracted and painted something else. Anyways I finally got around to starting to paint them, only thing is I wanna start a salamaner chapter, so painting the comand squad is starting to drag. I decided that I wanted to kit em out with sum power weapons, ready for some close combat "im a great fan of chopping up my opponent" . . . . .lol. ^_^ I thpought I would use the box set veteans then possibly replace em with the more expencive veteran box set at a later date. That was I could use the old models as pimped up sagents with power weapons, in tactical squads? Anyways here are sum pics guys, enjoy, thanks :tu http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/9563/0012j.jpg http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/637/0042rx.jpg http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/2445/0032kw.jpg http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/3580/012nn.jpg http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/680/009pe.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=Dan=- Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I am loving that standard! Very nice. One thing i would do is add some highlight/depth to the lenses of the helmets, but looking very nice anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Wait... Is that an Imperial fist helmet I spy? Traitor! All fooling around aside, that is a stunning banner indeed. And nice poses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam101 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Nice models! How did you get your blue colour on your vehicles? It's exactly what I'm looking for but I cant seem to get quite the right shade at the moment. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowscott Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Hi I blend alot of my colours using 75% paint / 25 water some times. By simply adding that combination on top of, say, regular ultramarine blue it will create a naturally lighter shade once dry. I also mix a small amount of ice blue with ultramarine blue, just to create a subtle shade to highlight areas. As for the edges I find blue, sometimes mixed with black helps define pads and detail features on th armour. B) My advice would be to expriement, thats how all good painters get there. . . lol. :D good luck mate, hope to have helped thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam101 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Thats my problem, I see an exemplary performance online and I assume that if I follow them exactly mine will look exactly the same. Not the case! Whilst we are on the topic, if I keep respraying and painting won't the quality of the model be compromised? Sorry for hijacking the thread momentarily :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilsson Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 The models is really great. You did that old box justice! OT: Liam101; Yes it will. However, if you strip the models from paint with break fluid, Simple Green etc you will be able to continue your repaint :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowscott Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 thanks guys As for the model being compromised, you need to manipulate where the light will be coming from, and only highlight and darken the relevent area. It all sounds "OTT" but it all comes together. My advise is to practice, and to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
