Phosis Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Impressive, very very clean. My favorite are the optics of weapons/dreads/eye optics. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212037-mercurys-blood-angels/#findComment-2522673 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnorriSnorrison Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Nice stuff there, Mercury. A nice and clean painting style, and your freehands are executed very well. Only thing that I dislike is the shiny effect on some of them, probably due to armypainter-stuff...I think that without the dip, they´d look much better.

mercury Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Cripes! There is no Army Painter on display here! I think the 'shiny' effect is a combination of the varnish I use (they are gaming pieces after all, so I need to protect my paint job) and the flash on my camera.

Hubernator Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 These are fantastic :) I absolutely love the dreads, they shading with the washes has worked wonders.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Please can you do a quick tut for the power weapons? They are exactly how I want to paint mine up. Great models, keep up the good work! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212037-mercurys-blood-angels/#findComment-2524091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 @Lemainus: I use Windsor and Newton (sp?) series 7 brushes. @WingsOfTheFalcon: The power weapons are painted as follows: Basecoat Codex Grey Wash with Badab Black 1st highlight = 1:1 Codex Grey:Fortress Grey 2nd highlight = Fortress Grey 3rd highlight = 1:1 Fortress Grey:Skull White Final (edge) highlight = Skull White Glaze = 1:4:1 (approx) Formula P3 Turquoise Ink:Water:Formula P3 Mixing Medium Hope that makes sense. BTW if any who have admired my work are interested, a number of these figures are now available on ebay.co.uk, as I am in desperate need of funds to settle the debts I acquired when purchasing a house last month! Beans on toast for Mercury throughout October! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212037-mercurys-blood-angels/#findComment-2526656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Cripes! There is no Army Painter on display here! I think the 'shiny' effect is a combination of the varnish I use (they are gaming pieces after all, so I need to protect my paint job) and the flash on my camera. Oh, I apologize. Many times when I see Miniatures that shine too much, I think of Armypainter, and the look of the washes only confirms my assumptions. Luckily, not in this case, and I hope my statement did not insult your painting skills. :P Snorri Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212037-mercurys-blood-angels/#findComment-2527273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
