Zynk Kaladin Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Note to self: don't be at the receiving end of this guy's flamer. Looking good so far but I have some suggestions that may make it even better. 1) Try highlighting him with a reddish-orange color. Each individual armored part will stand out better. 2) Add some blackness to the front of the flamer. The rusty color is great, but the black will make more charred. 3) I noticed the backpack has some pipes going to nowhere. Perhaps you could make a cord that connects to the flamer so it looks like he has some extra promethium tanks in his backpack. Keep 'em coming.

Keep 'em coming. the power pack is and old school 2nd ed version I had laying around. But the idea of extra tubing sounds good thou. Ill add some more hightlights , and blacken the nozzle or the flamer.

MagicMan Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 If you stipple a dark brown on, and then stipple a black over it, it creates a pretty good charred effect.

fivepointedstar Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 I just noticed what Zynk was saying about the tube. lol I thought it was the 2nd ed powerpack he's got. But i used a tank gunner back torso for him as he was a test mini. haha thats funny some time I feel blonder than I am. I don't know if any body noticed either that he has two different greaves on two one with a knee cap, and one with a full mk 8 style greave. Nice way to 'frankenstien' a mini thou Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216643-diy-blood-dragons-lots-of-pics/#findComment-2597362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Zaku Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 It's a good start, to be sure. I'd recommend you use Mechrite Red for your basecoat before you go up to the orange color. The reason I recommend this is because the pigment count for the orange Citadel colors seems to be fairly low, and your right shoulder pad seems a little streaky. After that, I'd recommend you invest in a matte varnish, as your decal is highly shiny on the shoulder. Not that THAT per se is the problem, but that transfer can easily be chipped off.

fivepointedstar Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 w00t! They are coming along. ;) Thanks Marshall Laeroth I'll be adding more tonight after work. Ive also changed the Flamer Specialist to a jump flamer since he'd be a better optional player than a tac marine. I've also lightened the red, and added alot of highlight you will see...

boyd Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I like the coloring and the details on the marines. My only gripe is that the face of the lizard is the wrong way. Most of the imgages should be like a flag - the face is charging the enemy, the dragon's face looks to be running away on the logo. Don't worry, a friend of mine has two tatoos of the american flag on his shoulders - the stars and stripes on each side on closer to his back (signifies running away). Otherwise, I really dig painting and the total scheme.

fivepointedstar Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 I did the opposite of the salamanders to not use an Vulkan cult chapter symbol. But I do see now the rear facing symbol which would mean to run away. But I'd rather be different this way than to have people question my would be "salamanders" are painted all red. But thanks Boyd I honestly never thought of that.

fivepointedstar Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 thanks, after i painted the helms it reminded me of Space Sharks.. but i wanted something to contrast red, and I'm not to fond of gold trimming, and stuff lately. my next step is to paint up some sang guards all in silver, with blood red wings. hope to have up soon.
