FallenLion Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 [these Scouts were originally going to be Dark Angels, hence the green, but change my mind] ok so I have Regal Blue and Ice Blue at my disposal and Chaos black and Skull white and I think my scouts are a little 'bright' - I didn't have any ultramarines in reference when I mixed my colour so here they are and can you suggest how to darken the colour or is it ok? http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/Stage1vsStage2.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/Stage2flash2.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/Stage2GroupShotFlash.jpg%5Bimg%5D http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/Stage2noflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/FrontLeftRightflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/FrontLeftRightnoflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/FullStage3CloseUpflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/FullStage3CloseUpnoflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/FullStage3flash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/FullStage3noflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/ScoutWeaponsflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/ScoutWeaponsStage3noflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/ScoutsandWeaponsflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/ScoutsandWeaponsnoflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/ScoutsBackflash.jpg http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy166/McCabage/Ultramarines/ScoutsBacknoflash.jpg C&C Sean Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217153-my-ultra-scouts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontline989 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The faces are extremely poor but the model could do nicely with a wash on the pants. Clean up the chest eagle too. Id cover the faces in Talarn Flesh and give them a Ogryn Flesh wash.

Id cover the faces in Talarn Flesh and give them a Ogryn Flesh wash. they are very WIP my friend :lol: i started with a graveyard earth - watered down, heavily, on both the trousers and the faces that is all I have done to the faces ... thats why they are poor :P I will give a thicker coat of graveyard earth to the faces and then highlight with dwarfen flesh then maybe wash with? I painted some of the chest eagles months ago ... about 1 month into starting and I tried to dab it off with a tissue and BOOM wrecked the chest :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217153-my-ultra-scouts/#findComment-2589832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Callius Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It's a big improvement, personally i've never been so good at the faces either. But with years of practice comes better and better skills so keep it up :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217153-my-ultra-scouts/#findComment-2595625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I like them. For the faces, just put on a wash of ogryn flesh and they'll look 1000% better. Some of the black undercoat is showing on the chest eagles and neck areas, you could clean that up. The red is done well, but the leather stuff would benefit from a brown wash. I forgot the name of the brown one. But overall, they don't look bad at all. Washes make everything look better. -verpine Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217153-my-ultra-scouts/#findComment-2595752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
