Chapter Master Kanithon Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi Everyone, I've recently decided to get out some of my old models and see if I can actually take some time and do a bit of painting and here's the results: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/DSC04506.jpg Its not a very good picture so i'll try and get a better one at some point. I also can't decide on a name for the chapter, I'm thinking something along the lines of The Temple Knights. Comments and such would be helpful, cheers, Kanithon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critically_hit Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looks quite decent, and I must admit that I´m loving the white + turquoise colour scheme (it's a thing, mine are white/electric blue with a bit of turquoise :P) I am quite curious how you tackled this - did you undercoat white, washed and drybrushed it up to where it is now? Also, the backpack, bolter (metal bits), aquila and shoulderpads could use some more love, mostly shading to make them stand out a bit more and to get the marine to a nice table top quality!

Solid Zaku Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It's good for a start. I like that you managed to do white without globbing. The shoulderpads seem a little streaky, however. In an odd way, they look like they were paper and you used a crayon...just a little thought about what the texture looks like. The color itself is nice. Try instead of 'painting' on each successive layer, you use heavy drybrushing, as it's a practically streak-free way of doing things. Also, try starting out with your white basecoat and use a quick wash of Asurmen Blue to even out the 'blueness'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thanks for the replies =] I think it could be the shoulder pads I used as I took off a symbol that was on it, so I may have to replace them. For the white; - I spray the models white and then give them a basecoat of a light grey - Mixed up bestial brown, codex grey and a bit of chaos black and watered it down into a wash and applied this to all the recesses. - I then went back and fixed any mistakes that I made. - and finally highlighted with watered down skull white. The shoulder pads were painted with hawk tortoise and then given them a wash of bestial brown mixed with a little chaos black. I may try watering down asurman blue even more so that it’s barely blue and applying that over the model so theres a slight blue hint in the white if you think that would work? Kanithon.

Critically_hit Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I would only use the blue wash if you intend to go the blue/grey to white route, the wash you used is more like the bone to white route. Perhaps a more grey/blue oriented could tie in nicely with the turquoise... Then again, experiment and see what you like ;) Happy painting to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Done a little bit more on my as of yet unnamed white marines. To start off with, my current commander: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0748.jpg http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0749.jpg and then a Squad leader, http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0750.jpg and another standard marine http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0751.jpg and finally a terminator http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0752.jpg personally I think that look a bit rubbish and plain with the white bases and without the shoulder pads coloured but I like how they turn out when they're finished hope you like them.

Mac the knife Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 If you like the color you could go with "Knights Aquamarine" or just rip of the Ultras and call em Aquamarines Tada! heh if i ever decide to paint a marine army that color i might have to steal that name though.

Chapter Master Kanithon Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm thinking of calling them Temple Knight as I've used Black Templar parts on some of them. and now, Chaplain http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0754.jpg C&C would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicced Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Nearly 1000 views and no one? that seems to happen pretty often ;) i love the colour scheme, your white is really nice ;) fantastic cape on the commander! i'm not sure about your squadleader though, is he fixed to the base yet? i think he leans to much to his left (plasma side).

Varred Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Great commander and i wonder from where do you have him? Some old bits for a body and arm holding the cape? or new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 i'm not sure about your squadleader though, is he fixed to the base yet? i think he leans to much to his left (plasma side). I think he is slightly leaning that way but he's meant to look like he's sprinting forward. The commander is basically just the master of the fleet model with a chaos space marine head (I think) and the arm and storm bolter from the commander sprue This Models > http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1060016 More Photos later as I've finish a squad now and the commander.

Varred Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 thanks i'll convert him to chaos BEWARE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I think he is slightly leaning that way but he's meant to look like he's sprinting forward. hmn i think he would look more like sprinting with his arms repositioned so that the lightning claw points forward and the other arm back a little.

Chapter Master Kanithon Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Commanders finished: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0757.jpg realised looking at this picture that there some flash that needs to be taken off and that I should colour the casing of the storm bolter as it looks pretty bland I moved the Sergeants arms like you suggested Wicced: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0758.jpg http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0760.jpg and the finish Sergeant and his squad: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0761.jpg and then the start of the Sergeant for the next tactical squad: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0762.jpg and then my customized Sternguard squad: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0763.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyraelV Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 nice work, but i must say the scheme reminds me of pre heresy world eaters which is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Very nice (And like several others very similar to one of my DIYs...well great minds>). White is hard to paint as I know so you've done a very good job :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Well, it's been a while and I could have probably updated sooner, but I've now finished the second tactical squad for the Temple Knights http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0839.jpg and the Sergeant: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0837.jpg Not sure if I'm happy with how the helmets, highlighted... and some other shots: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0838.jpg Also tried a different way of painting skin as I'd never really tried back in the day, I went for a darker skin tone this time: http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk372/kanithon/SAM_0840.jpg Comments and Criticism would be appreciated, cheers.

Olis Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Looking decent so far although the bare bases are bugging me a little - are you doing them at some point? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Olisredan, the bases will by black drybrushed codex and then fortress grey, so a kind of ash wasteland, I'll try get some done today to show you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Have to say, wasn't over fond of these but the more I look at them. I'm really digging the colour scheme and your work so far, specially the sergeant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conandoodle Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 They look great sir. As above, the bases will really finish them off nicely. As a suggestion though: I'm concerned that a black/grey base will not make the models 'pop'. I believe that a brown base (same style as you mentioned - drybrushed textured base) with maybe some static grass will contrast with models, add some colour to the units and really make them stand out. Just my thoughts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Task Force Gauntlet Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 They look like PH World Eaters, very well done ones at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys, Have to say, wasn't over fond of these but the more I look at them. I'm really digging the colour scheme and your work so far, specially the sergeant. Thanks, tried to make the sergeants unique and took a bit of extra time over them. As a suggestion though: I'm concerned that a black/grey base will not make the models 'pop'. I believe that a brown base (same style as you mentioned - drybrushed textured base) with maybe some static grass will contrast with models, add some colour to the units and really make them stand out. I thought about that, but decided against it because there's quite a lot of brown on the model, but then i guess it would tie it all in. I'll try out both and see what people think, it'll either be black base and snow, or brown base and grass. They look like PH World Eaters, very well done ones at that. Thanks, never thought of that when I picked the scheme, but I'm happy with that link as I've always liked the fluff for the loyalist World Eaters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
