Pig Of Sparta Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 @ daemonclaw: thanks mate, I'm still trying new stuff out on faces and I'm really happy with the way these two came out. Still need to add the red glaze that winterdyne suggested, although I did tone down their lipstick a little with a glaze of Skull White. @ Dark Link: There is a glaze of Dark Flesh on them to try to add some texture to the flat areas but I might give that a try, although the surfaces of the Crux's isn't all that big so I'm not sure how well I'll be able to do it. thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onipunk Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Just remember to use an old brush, and only put a tiny amount of paint on, and do it very lightly. Just like drybrushing, except you're gently stabbing it. It's one of the few techniques I can actually manage kind of well, having once created a stippling effect on a sword using only one colour :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Couple more photos of these guys: http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF9184.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF9182.jpg The white is done, just gonna finish up the Crux's, tidy up their bases and call them done I think. They started out as just tests but I think they stand quite well as lower end display mini's. (Shame I missed GW's Ultra-fest with them although I doubt they'd have featured, they might've...well I can dream!) I have another three AoBR terminators that I'm eventually gonna try out a couple of other chapters on (courtesy of Shortsonfire79) so they'll have some buddies and 'll have a mixed chapter terminator kill team ;) oh and thanks for the tips Dark Link, I'll keep them in mind, though I might not use them on these guys, stone is something that I need to improve at painting :) thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 They dont scream Ultra to me, and I guess that is a good thing. I cant really decide if I like them or not ;) The paintwork is very nice, the faces in particular, tough. - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LardO'Blood Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Very nice! Have you ever thought of playing deathwing? A bit dark though. If they had red fists and the iconography was obscured I'd think they were Crimson Fists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Looks great once again, well done :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandael Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Great work as always Pig Of Sparta! I really enjoy your different take on Ultramarine Blue. Strangly enough it works and has been put togther well. You'r painting really lift's these simple "generic" termies to the next level. As said before by others excellent job on the faces, just watch out for those headshots :D. Cheers, Vandael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Really liking the old school effect you have going on here. Thats one thing I miss from the 2nd ed Ultras all the hazard striping and checker patterns on the bolters. Outstanding work once again Sparta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigger-than-Jesus Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 The fact you got them looking the way you did by drybrushing shows how good a painter you are-well done. If you're having trouble with the chapter badge, try almost painting a skeleton of it and then bulk it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
