Seva Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 This is my LPC vow. I will post it there as well but I thought I'd post some stuff here as well. I am using a different style to my red this time than I have in the past. I hope you enjoy them. Comments and criticisms welcome. Especially the criticism part.Here they are so far..... http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/1497/picture001zn.jpg http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/7847/picture002rj.jpg http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/7924/picture003ii.jpg I thought I'd throw this preist into this mix but he isn't really part of the vow as I started him a bit before the vow came about. http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/2173/picture004eb.jpg Any criticisms welcome. http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/3373/picture005pj.jpg Obey the Emperor.

Seva Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yellow is a fun color to paint. I think the crucial thing about it is to decide what color you want, warm or cold. I started these helmets with snakebite leather that was really thin. I then added some iyanden darksun to the mix, about 3:1 snakebite-darksun. Glaze that on a couple of times and then start adding bad moon yellow. Just use the same ratios until i start adding white. Its all a matter of where you want to stop. I think i could go further than I did with these guys and I might if I have the time. If you want a cold yellow use a gray for a base and then go from there. Hope that helps. I have added some more red to the Assault squad and took a more close up picture of the guys because you couldn't really get a good look at the eyes. Here they are. http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5312/dsc02648xl.jpg Here is the priest. The sword is supposed to be a power sword but I don't know if it's working too well. http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/9352/dsc02650oq.jpg Here is an Inquisitor that I did for my son for Christmas. http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3470/dsc02649of.jpg http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/2079/dsc02645b.jpg http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/414/dsc02646ky.jpg http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/5973/dsc02647xl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seva Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Here is some more progress on the Assault guys. I would like to know what you all think about the color on the robes. I don't know if it works, and if it doesn't, do you all have any suggestions on how to fix it. Enjoy! http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/8259/dsc02651o.jpg http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3559/dsc02652zq.jpg http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8871/dsc02653u.jpg http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/9315/dsc02655k.jpg The white didn't work at all so I change it in the next set of pics.

Seva Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I changed the coloring on the robes and and I am just doing detail work here and there. Struggling on the power weapons. The green power weapon has a bunch more to go yet. Enjoy. http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2968/dsc02659x.jpg http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/8287/dsc02656j.jpg http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/2606/dsc02657.jpg http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/903/dsc02658fr.jpg More to come. My recipe for the yellow I change up quite a bit depending on what I have available. For these helmets I started with snakebite leather as the base for them. I then worked it up to the yellow I liked using bad moon yellow added to the mix as I went along. The final highlights I mix in some skull white and apply it to the edges of the helmet. Sometimes I will use some washes on the guys but with this batch of yellow I didn't. I liked the way the shadows just sort of appeared as I was going along. I have been trying a new way to get to red for these guys. It is a great deal quicker than the normal way I do red. I'm still in limbo as to what technique I think yields better results. The way I do it now is quite a bit faster so I may stick with it, still not entirely certain. The highlights on this red were done using dwarf flesh mixxed with red and then bleached bone on the most extreme parts. I bought some vomit brown so that will make an appearance next time around. Thank you for all the comments. They help keep me going. I still have a bit to do on these guys. I think I will do more on those damned power weapons. They still just aren't right to me just yet. I think I am close though. I am using Midnight Runner's way of doing power weapons so all thanks to him for the inspiration. Hope you enjoy what I have done so far and please rip the models apart as I want to get better at painting. http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/269/dsc02662o.jpg http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4977/dsc02663m.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/6527/dsc02665jz.jpg http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/8922/dsc02666vk.jpg http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/8509/dsc02668m.jpg http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/3222/dsc02669k.jpg http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/7084/dsc02671iu.jpg http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/8814/dsc02672k.jpg http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/4664/dsc02673.jpg http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/1979/dsc02674l.jpg http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/9630/dsc02676zm.jpg http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/6390/dsc02677j.jpg All the writing and chapter symbols are free hand by the way. I think it adds a little to the models. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seva Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I have been painting a bit more. I am still fretting over the power weapons. I think it might be my camera set up but then again a bad carpenter blames his tools so I figure I still have a long ways to go before I can feel satisfied with my work. The models are pretty much finished. I have little bits to do here and there. I should probably bring some highlights up more. I will have to figure that out while still keeping the colors subtle. Tough choices to make. Here they are so far. I am proud of the yellow on the backpacks. I actually think that looks O.K. From now on I think I will use either red or green for power weapons. I don't like the blue with the red. Something is off in my execution of the blue. Purple might look good. I'll have to see.Here are the models. Enjoy. http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/5231/dsc02704nh.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/2915/dsc02695nj.jpg http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/8002/dsc02696zt.jpg http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/3787/dsc02697d.jpg http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/7852/dsc02698l.jpg http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/6075/dsc02699j.jpg Tear them apart!
