BOBMAKENZIE Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Looking good BOBMAKENZIE. Is that a termie's storm bolter I see? Cambrius I wouldnt be surprise :P I just found it on my desk and decided I would use it. I wanted to focus on painting on this model over Converting because I know have very good conversion skills but my paints still alittle rocky.

AngryJohnny Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 @homerjwho: I'm really anxious to see what you've come up with for the Priory of Dorn. @recon0321: I should be getting started on paint for The Knights of Tartosa soon. I was hoping to get started today, but I wasn't feeling very well. I'm aiming for Monday to get started with paint. I'll get some WIP images up when I do.

recon0321 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 the armor looks good i take it you were going for a more battle damaged look?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Xeones Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 he's coming along pretty well. He'll look better after he gets a second hand and the cleanup. :huh: I typically paint that block in the middle of the backback green same as the helmets and weapons. Helps break up all that khaki.

The Normish Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Heru Talon, you will be pleased to know that I've made great progress on your model thanks to a Dark Angels Veterans upgrade kit (my favorite plastic kit to date). I've also taken the liberty to make a short fluffy piece for your model, which I'll post whenever the pictures get up as well. Note that it is currently only plastic, and will be painted soon enough. EDIT: Also, I wanted to ask, since your company color is indicated on knees, what's the Second Company (Regulators) color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Gold. I have your model cleaned (I hate moldlines!!!!!!!!) and assembled. I'll try to take pictures tommorrow, if I can catch the sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Gold. I have your model cleaned (I hate moldlines!!!!!!!!) and assembled. I'll try to take pictures tommorrow, if I can catch the sunlight. Right-o, gold it is (or would yellow do, like on the older Second Company Ultramarines?). Also, I can't wait to see my model. I guess you want to mold lines off of yours as well. Well, I'll try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Gold. I have your model cleaned (I hate moldlines!!!!!!!!) and assembled. I'll try to take pictures tommorrow, if I can catch the sunlight. Right-o, gold it is (or would yellow do, like on the older Second Company Ultramarines?). I think the fact that they are already half yellow would probably make it look wrong. Ok here he is, the currently unnamed Marine from TheNormish's Doom Guard Chapter. He isn't all that special unfortunately*. I went with twin bolt pistols as I want to be able to show off the colour scheme once he's painted, without the bulky bolter covering it up. I gave him a helmet with an antenna to represent an enhanced comm-system for fighting in an urban environment (which would likely have allot of comm interference from numerous sources). I also gave him an auspex (also useful for urban warfare) and an old knife off of the old SM biker frame (as it looked particularly vicious for the inevitable close combat he'd likely be involved in when stalking through ruined buildings). *= I don't have the GSing skills, endless bits boxes or super deep pockets some other members seem to have. :lol: He's only tacked to the base so I can urbanise it later.

The Normish Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I like it, simple yet effective! Of course, I look forward to seeing how you paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 For some reason, the pose looks like that perfect pose that most people can only dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I finally got the weather to cooperate & have begun painting recon0321's Knights of Tartosa miniature. I've named him Captain Alastair Kade. Captain Alastair Kade after primer: Captain Alastair Kade after base coat: This is all the progress I have for today. I'll post some more updates once I've got them. What are your thoughts so far? Keep in mind, this is only the base coat right now, the majority of his armor is going to be done in a metallic steel. I'm going to paint the eagle heads on the backpack gold and the iron halo on the shield and backpack gold also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I don't know if Silver Phoenix is watching this thread, but I plan on buying some Raptors later today... Just so he knows... I'll work on his men once I get the bits. I've sadly used my money for other purposes since this project has started, so I plan on fixing that...

AngryJohnny Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I've made some more progress on Captain Alastair Kade from recon0321's Knights of Tartosa. I've got all the metallic paints done. Really all that's left is to add some highlights, do some various washes, come up with something for the blade of his power weapon and give him a base. For his base I have no idea what do to for him so I'd be very open to suggestions, just keep in mind my basing skills are minimal. Well, here he is - I've been working on him since 07:30 this morning (16:32 right now) what do you all think so far?

recon0321 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 that couldnt have turned out better if i say so myself if you could please PM how you went about painting him....in semi detail??? if thats not to much to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 @recon0321: Thanks, I'm really glad you like how he's coming along. The pictures I posted are pretty much all there was to painting him so far. 1. Spray white primer on entire model 2. Any areas that will be black or receive metallic paint are painted with a thinned down Testors Model Master Acryl Flat Black 3. Applied base coat colors Purity Seals = Blood Red Templar Crosses = Red Gore Skulls = Bleached Bone Parchment = Bleached Bone Eyes = Blood Red Pistol & Pouches = Testors Model Master Acryl Leather Grenades = Testors Model Master Acryl Olive Drab Steel Armor = Testors Gloss Enamel Steel Gold Details = Testors Gloss Enamel Gold Shoulder Wreath = Scorpion Green Robe = Charadon Granite (These steps haven't been completed yet) 4. Detail the power weapon with Silver Chrome & then a gradient of thinned Scab Red -> Red Gore w/Blood Red highlights later to be washed w/Baal Red (Haven't tried this yet so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. I'm going to test it on a piece of sprue first.) 5. Apply Highlights Red Gore highlighted w/Blood Red Steel highlighted w/Testors Gloss Enamel Silver Chrome Gold Highlighted highlighted w/Testors Gloss Enamel Silver Chrome Testors Model Master Acryl Flat Black highlighted w/Charadon Granite Bleached Bone highlighted w/Testors Model Master Acryl Flat Gull Gray Chardon Granite highlighted w/Testors Model Master Acryl Flat Gull Gray Leather Highlighted w/Bleached Bone 6. Apply washes Steel washed w/Badab Black Reds washed w/Baal Red Gold, Leather & Bleached Bone washed w/Ogryn Flesh Greens washed w/Thraka Green Flat Black washed w/Badab Black to blend the highlights Chardon Granite washed w/Badab Black to blend the highlights 7. Base the model So far what I've posted doesn't have any highlights or washes applied (I've only completed through step #3). I'll most likely get him finished on Saturday. I'll post WIP pictures for steps 4, 5, 6 & 7 as I complete each step. I'm still not sure what to do for the base. How do you normally base yours? I usually use a modeling sand and paint it for the base (my bases are pretty bland - I just use the sand to give it some texture.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 wow! well i have found my new paint scheme for my marines now AWESOME!! as far as bases go i am the worst person to ask lol i use sand and or the 40k basing pack bitz....then just paint the sand....
