GLD Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hello all! In line with all my commission work, I am trying my best to put some paint onto my own models! I have started a Blood Ravens army (and Forgeworld have very helpfully just released some Blood Ravens transfers!). Here is a WIP Dreadnought and my Multi-Melta tactical marine that was the test model for the army... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/GLD1/Dreadnoughtwip.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/GLD1/mmtest.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/GLD1/mmtest1.jpg The entire army is sprayed with Army Painter Dragon Red - you can see the original colour on the dreadnought base and sarcophagus scroll. I then painted all the metal work and any black/cream bits, and re-touched the red with some thin coats of blood red. I then used devlan mud to dull down the red. Highlights were made with blood red, then blazing orange and vomit brown. This give the armour an orange look, so I then used baal red to glaze over and bring it all back in line - I am very happy with how it has turned out. I will be doing a more in depth Blood Raven tutorial as soon as i get a chance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Looks pretty good. The duller shade of red fits BR well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearMessiah Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 They look awsome, I am going to be starting some Blood Ravens myself soon. One question did you have to do a matte varnish over your transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Valerius Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Looks great. What do you do for the cream bits? I'm attempting Blood Ravens for a Christmas present for a friend, and those are giving me some trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLD Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Thanks for the commets... I haven't put any varnish on the transfers yet, by will probably have too as they are quite shiny! The bone coloured bits are fairly easy - use a dheneb stone base coat, followed by a wash of gryphonne sepia in the recess parts. I then use 2 thin layers of bleached bone, leavin the sepia showing. This can be highlighted by adding some skull White to the bone, and finally with pure skull White - hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeddon Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Very nicely done! I especially like the high area/low area contrast on the marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
