Randomselect Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi all, just thought i would share my painting endeavors with you all. Hi Guys (and girls) So ive finally done it, got off my arse and started painting. After beating myself up between carcharodons and imperial fists, i finally decided on the fists. I did a test mini for both, and although the yellows harder, its more fun to paint than grey! Heres one of the Test imperial fists i did, hes since been stripped as i want to use a slightly lighter yellow tone, but the method of painting etc will still be the same. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/tester.jpg I painted it by priming chaos black, painting the armour tausept ochre then highlighting with Bleached bone, i then used yellow ink glazes to give it a yellower tone. Next time i will base coat the armour with the tausept but then layer on vomit brown before my other stages to brighten things up a bit! Anyway, heres the first 5 tactical members after their Dettol baths! http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/strippers.jpg Not much to see there i'm afraid! Sorry. I then found this old chesnut in my cupboard http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/razorbox.jpg which is now in this state ready for priming the same time as the tactical guys. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/Razormyback.jpg Its surprising how much i now like the old rhino after i usd to hate it so much! is that because its different?? Anyway, more updates to come soon! That test Fist you've got there looked great. Brighter would probably be better though. Eager to see it. I have some old models that I used to dislike, but now I love. Personally, I think it's because as they get older they become kinda retro which is neat. I thankyou, and yes retro is cool! Good evening all. Not much to report tonight. done a first coat on the razorback and got the tactical marines reprimed. gonna get the Rb finished before i hit the marines up. Heres the evidence. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/1sheety.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/blackboys.jpg hopefully get the RB done in a week or two, the tacticals i reckon will take me 3 weeks! the overall plan is to make a "counts as" deathwing list (i know its terminator heavy but i wanted these models as "practise" units for painting!) after that its gonna be lysander, a couple of terminator squads using the space hulk terminators i have and a land raider or two. So heres sundays update. The main hull is done paint wise, next i hace to add the decals then weather the lot up. The turret is also done sans the inside with the little screen and the handles. Heres some pics http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/razirsunday.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/rearview.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/turretsunday1.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/turretsunday.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/assemsunday.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Turret looks too bashed compared to the rest of the chassis on the razorback. However that shade of yellow is neat :angry: Red eyes perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomselect Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Ok so i thought i should help a little in the community, im going to show you all how to make a super simple lighting box for your pics. all you need is, 1 cardboard box some plain white paper 1 sheet of paper printed with a blue gradient oh and some sellotape.... step one, cut the top and front out of your box then stick a sheet of white paper in the sides like so.. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/lightbox1.jpg next stick a bit in the rear! http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/lightbox2.jpg next stick your blue gradient bit in the bottom so it curves up at the back, try not to make it fold, more a gentle curve upwards. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/lightbox3.jpg next lower a lamp over the top like so and start taking pictures! http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/lightbox4.jpg heres the result of that session http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/lightbox5-1.jpg not bad for a simple cheapo job eh?

Brother Styphus Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 You should go around sharing that tutorial post of yours.

Randomselect Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Haha, i hope people try it out, could do with a brighter room in general though i think. Anyway a small update, The melta guy is practically finished, just needs decals and vanishing etc. which i wont do till the squads done. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/beaker.jpg Currently working on the sarge, should be finished by the weekend. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/sarger.jpg EDIT: While not offensive as suggested further down the thread, it is the rules though, no Xenos allowed. As a loyal servant of the Emperor you should be directing your friend away from heathen Xenos and into the light of the God Emperor. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 That sarge looks very cool! I know how fun it is to see ones girlfriend paint some 40k then the fun turns to pure horror as she is so much better :D Think the mods will ask you to remove the pics though.

Randomselect Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi guys and gals, so the sarge is finally done. only 3 more guys for this squad of 5. (they take me ages!! damn my self diagnosed ADHD!) The sarge is a vet sarge (hence the red skull and red stripe) some Imperial Fist people dont like this look as they say it looks rubbish, i think they just found out after they had painted theirs and see it as a poor excuse! lol anyway a few pics.. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/sargedone.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/sarget.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/sargef.jpg On another note, i really want to get hold of these oop terminators http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/IMG_0513.jpg bottom left in the pic, i already have the one with what looks like a normal marine head, however i'm still after the stupid semi circle shoulder pad guy and the less than well sculpted no weapons guy...

Randomselect Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I love the new sergeant is there any chance that I can ask how you did the yellow? Hi mate, cheers, the yellows a tausept ochre over black, then 3 layers of vomit brown to get a flat base, highlighted with bleached bone VB mix twice (2/1 first highlight then 1/1 second) then i glaze 4 times with yellow ink then rehighlight with bleached bone then skull white.... yeah its a little labour intensive.... Well not much to report today, currently working on the last 3 guys from the combat squad and still doing boring basecoats, which are not worth pics. so today i leave you with this thought, weve seen the osprey style storm bird conversions, but have you seen this? http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/IMG_0508.jpg lol i think its based on this old piece of artwork. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/IMG_0509.jpg And have you guys seen the new jokareo model yet? if not prepare yourselves to be dissapointed... http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/200685_191901017516144_153487338024179_477507_7933324_n.jpg More updates sunday guys!

Slyen Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Revival of the Space Monkeys? On the matter of the Terminators, I think it would be pretty cool to have a unit of old Terminator models on the boards now days. I got the one with huge shoulder pads and am trying to find the other ones myself. In any case, hope to see more soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i saw a better shot of jokaero and it looked a little better, i suppose i might buy one after all! well i just won a "peahead" termie off ebay so i only need one more now! then i will have the 3 prototypes i always wanted! Not much to report updatwise, just done a bit more on the 3 other guys but nothing worth pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomsly Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/sargef.jpg while the yellow is very good and definatly will look nice across the army i have to ask what is he doing with his hand!?!?!?!?!
