wooday_218 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ok so I've just taken my very first vow to get my black templars finished but for obvious reasons didn't want to overstretch so I've vowed to paint a 5 man crusader squad and an attack bike, I will be posting stage by stage pics and your comments are welcome !

wooday_218 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 These models have had halfords black spray paint for undercoat ,quite a while ago though, so they will need a touch up. Then about four layers of skull white watered down on the shoulderpads and cloak, I like to add sword brethren models to my squads to give them abit of character, plus in the game PA sword brethren are overpriced an pretty much a no no, so gotta find use some how ! . ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooday_218 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 I've decided to paint each individual instead of squad at a time , I know it takes longer but I find I get better results , Next I've started doing the metalics on the sword brethren model, first I've done them boltgun metal then methril silver, and the gold is tin bits followed by shining gold , all the paints are extremely watered down and will take 2-3 coats minimum, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eberious Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I would say you are watering your paints down to much, add water but only enough to keep the paint "wet" and that you get a smooth covering. You are giving yourself extra work there. Â Its difficult to tell the end result at the moment, theres a lot of untidy areas to touch up but as you say it still is a WIP. Is that a green highlight you've used there or just the camera flash has made it look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooday_218 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yeah just getting the basic colours on, build up the colours through watery layers then touch the black up. I think that green was just the light in the room , no highlight just yet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooday_218 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Last night I started on few more bits , the powersword is now finished and the face has a few coats on, went over the metalics again and gave the cape white on the outside n dark red on the inner, I'm thinking of trying to freehand small templar crosses on the inside around the edge of cape , what do you guys think?

wooday_218 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hi there, sorry I haven't updated in a while , work commitments took all my time up but I've managed to get the highlights on the sword brethren model and also started on the powerfist crusader, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooday_218 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Both models need more done to them like the lens and the black around the highlights needs sharpening up, does anyone else find metal models harder to paint ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooday_218 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Here's my completed attack bike ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Nugz Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Seeing as you are using extreme contrast highlighting(perfect for gameplay models) could you take some pictures from farther away? The highlights are nice and crisp but up close they look too stark for realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
