Dewi Sant Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks for the comments, Have just downed that ale. :eek Outer stripes were done with Tamiya 6mm masking tape and my air brush and lots of perseverance. Tamiya 6mm tape is the bomb. I never use normal household masking tape as the tac (stickiness) is too great and it has the scope to mess up all your hard work. Trust me, I learnt the hard way. The stripes on the door were painted by hand. Ron has a fantastic tutorial over at his blog From The Warp This is well worth adding to your list of blogs.

Maximus-92 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks for the armour chipping technique, i will deffinatley give it a go on one of my old rhinos and see how it goes on the land raider after that. As for sonic cleaners, im not sure where to get one. I just saw it being used at battle bunker and was impressed with the results. In any case google should have the answers! If you do show up on wednesday ill be there, working away on a land raider getting it ready for a tournament being held there this saturday.

Bulweih Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Great work on the Drop Pod brother! A little too much hazard stripes for my personal taste when opened, but still formidably achieved. Also really promising looking Rhino you got sitting on your desk, I'm keen to see it done. Keep it right up there!-And of course...have some Ale on me brother ;) !

Dewi Sant Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Great game tonight mate, your army looks much better in person. Yeah it was a great game, that mission set up was hardcore. I'll be in next Wed if you want another. Thanks for the comments on the army, it will look better when its all painted. I'm going to be putting in some hard hrs of painting this week so will hopefully get a squad of hunters finished off. Your Ragnar rocks, not only is he nicely painted but he is a killing machine!! Good luck in the tournament on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewi Sant Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well the big move is finally over and I don't have much time to finish off my pledge for the winter advance. Here is the first of my W.I.P photos of my RP I'm hoping to have his face finished before the close of play today. I will be posting more pics soon. I will also post a few pics of my battle foam that arrived just days before I was due to move! For those that haven't seen the custom battle foam trays or dealt with the company, you really don't know what you are missing out on!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Really nice work you have there. Seen as your in Auz, does that mean that its less ale and more Castlemain XXXX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewi Sant Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Don't worry Forte, still plenty of Ale to be found. OK, So I have done the Rune Priests face, hair and little pouch thing, wolf skull and and the runes on the force wpn are done. Not to sure about the glowing effect though what do you think? Wolf pelt needs another wash and then picking out the edges of the fur with bleached bone. The Land Raider is starting to come along, all the recesses have been shaded and some details picked out on the hull. C&C welcome as always.

Russ Brother 92 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 seen as I believe it's around 6pm over there chap I'll pass ya an evnin beer (of whichever draft) though as an aussie we all know it's Fosters haha priesty boys looking great, although I agree not too sure about the force weapon - maybe see about spreading the effect more and adding lighter possibly white highlights in the center of each line. the crusader's looking really nice :lol: the red's a little bright (I prefer the one on your RP) but overall it really does look lovely mate - keep going brother.

Beef Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Wow, I love the drop pod, especially the fact you have taken time to paint the inside so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathshroud Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Really great work in here, brother! Definitely inspiring to a new wolf like myself! Keep it up. I love the weathering and the Drop Pod is amazingly done. Bravo lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadir Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I like glowing effect on the blade, but i would spread it a little bit more. [EDIT] ...As Russ Brother said... [/EDIT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilljoy Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 wow that colour looks fantastic on those wolves. Mind giving me a quick run down? I've been findiing it hard to get my colours on the wolves right but I really like how that looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewi Sant Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 @ Beef & Deathshroud: Thanks for the comments about the pods, only another 5 to finish!! @ Gilljoy: I follow the recipe that from Awesome Paint Job uses for the armour. If you need anymore info on the rest of the colours that I use just give me a shout. @ Russ Brother 92 & Nadir: You guys were right about the power weapon, I started again and am a lot happier with the outcome. Ok, so thats another vow completed. I had fun painting the RP and tired to push my painting further than before, I hope it shows. I even had time to paint a Chooser of the Slain. C&C welcome as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilljoy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The latest stuff looks fantastic. So its black, black + codex grey at 50:50, then pure codex grey? Do you use les's washes just wondering because your tanks have a nice blue-ish tinge to them which I really like the look of. Or atleast they do to me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewi Sant Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 You got it mate. I do use his wash, you can now buy it from Secret Weapon Miniatures or make it you self like I do. Les has done an video explaining how he makes them. For the vehicles I mix 20 drops of the black ink used to make the above wash into 1 pot of Adaptus Battle Grey and thin this down Tamiya acrylic thinners (available in most good model stores) so I can run it though my airbrush. If you can find the thinners you can use Windex or just water. Make sure you strain the paint first though because I have found that the GW foundation paints can have some bits of thick paint in them that can block the airbrush. Once primed black and the above mix is applied I start to dry brush the whole of the vehicle with the following: 1. Adaptus Battle Grey 2. Codex Grey 3. Fortress Grey Once this is done I add the shading and the detail. As for the blue colour I can only put that down to my iPhone....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall have to order some stuff from Secret weapons and pick up there soft body black wash. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewi Sant Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 If you planning on painting a large force its better if you make the wash yourself. You can pick up the Ink on the internet cheap. I have even used it in my airbrush. You will also need the ink for making the vehicle undercoat. It comes in a dropper bottle so its easy to dispense.

brainwashed Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Those are some great looking models! Well done. Are you using a brown or rust wash on the land raider's recesses? I love the effect of the brown brown tint to the recesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewi Sant Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 It's been far too long brothers, time to get back on top of keeping a track of my Space Wolves While I have my have been quiet, my hand haven't been idle. I have built and painted a Necron and a Tau army (we won't talk any more about that :p) and I have added to my space wolves collection large . I am currently in the process of changing all the shoulder pads for Ragnars company from transfers/free hand too the new upgrade kit. I have also finished my take on Ragner, who I will post up later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiltedMarine Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 All brilliant work, esp. love the Wulfen! The tanks are ace as well; I like the no-nonsense vibe. Not too many Wolfy-bits, but enough to get the character across. Very well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
