Demoulius Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 still loving the look on your models ;) they look so....yellow :tu: yet you manage to pull it off so nicely :) im goign to have to joink that idea of your to add hazard stripes on the raider front ramp :P also a bit late maybe, but why did you first paint the dread red and then paint it yellow? is there some brilliant painting technique thats behind it?

Mr Yellow Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 @RagingChainsword-I started painting a unit the other day so can't do a step by step photo tutorial until the next unit. I will post a recipe for the paints I use though give GWs recent efforts on the paint front it won't be too much help I think. @Gamma310-Always glad that people like my guys. I had seen the sheets on the GW website but I actually prefer doing the squad marking myself so I can change them up a bit. That and they are a bit overpriced. @Demoulius - Feel free to use the hazard stripes, don't think I'm the first or the last to do it. If you come up with a good way to keep the lines straight let me know. The dread was red because I got it off ebay. Now you mention it the yellow went down a lot better over the red though it didn't occur to me at the time. Now on the the latest works. My bro, who is dragging me to a tourney in a couple of weeks just happened to mention that I need some objective markers, thank you dear brother: And some assault termies that I am trying to finish, because I don't actually have enough points at the moment: Till next time, stay zesty.

Gamma310 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Really like the Termis. Motivates me to keep on painting my Lamenters :D . What about an overview of all your troops. Would be really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 @Gamma310-Don't quite have the energy at the moment to clear my painting table and lay everything out at the moment. If you go to page five there are some photos of my force as it is now; just a few more bits have paint on them since then. Have you posted any of your 200 yet? Would like to see them.

Gamma310 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I already saw the other overview. I was just interested in the current status. Sadly I havn't posted mine yet. I'm studying at the moment and it's quite hard. Also I'm waiting on some white to finish the Pauldrons. Most of them have only the yellow prime colour on them, but at least two Tactical Squads are finished(without Pauldrons). But as soon as I've finished them I'm going to post them.

Ah-a-nothepsis Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I Love your tactical squad and termies!!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingChainsword Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Okay, thanks. Don't stress about it, I'm just one person. :D The termies look incredible, and I can't wait to see those markers finished. What was the inspiration? All your painting is amazing. It's just fun to look at. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 @Gamma310- don't worry. When I have got the next chunk of my force done I will do a group shot @Ah-a-nothepsis- saw your blog the other day, looking forward to seeing more of your stuff. @RagingChainsword- I will do a recipe at some point; probably next week. I'm just really busy at the moment so not sure when I will have a solid chance to a tutorial but I will get round to it. Glad you like my stuff. I imagine you are talking about the markers re:inspiration. Can't say whether there was any really, I just put stuff together in the hopes it looks cool, though I do have the overall theme of a force designed for ship board fighting.

RagingChainsword Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well, your markers definetly look cool. You have me on a see-saw between blood angels and Lamenters, I keep totting back and forth... Can't wait for that recipe. Okay, my next models are definetly having some "stories" around them. I really love modelled bases that are looking awesome, and I really want some. Thanks for sharing this with us o the forums, your inspiring to all. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 @RagingChainsword - hopefully I can help sway you (one way or the other) Anyways, some more progress. This tournament is looming now and I still have a fair amount to do. So: Land Raider Assault Ramp with hazards stripes (like the enemy deserve a warning) with weathering to come. My one and only Calix Priest front: and back: And one completed objective marker: Till the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Powers Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Wow, that objective marker is possibly my new favorite. May I ask how you made it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I am liking this army, especially the Sanguinary guard. My only comment would be that the checkered side of the land raider looks messier compared to the rest of your army, which is pretty clean. Of course that could be the idea, it looks nice, just a bit out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 @Bradley Powers - The objective marker is made from the Space Hulk boxset piece chair with the dead termie in it. I actually cast the piece in resin before plonking a sanguinary guard model in there. The colour scheme was simple as I needed it done quick. I did two spray base coats, one of desert yellow (Army Painter) and then white. After that it was wash with gryphonne sepia, drybrush with bleached bone and then skull white (but only on the most raised parts. @Captain Mike - Thanks very much. I know what you mean about the LR side. It was on purpose. I actually do the same thing to shoulder pads but it doesn't show up quite so much becuase they are much smaller.

Bradley Powers Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Very interesting. I don't have the Space Hulk objective in front of me, does the terminator come off of the throne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 @ Bradley Powers - no he doesn't. You would have to cut him out of it, though it is not too hard as the chair has nice squared lines to cut along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingChainsword Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Loving this stuff. Especially with the Land Raider Hazard Stripes. And I don't know what's wrong with the land raider side, I think it looks fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks again for all the comments guys, it always encourages me to keep working. So today I have a completed Land Speeder and some WIP tac marines: I don't like the poses that most marines have with the planted legs that make them look short. Most of my other marines are taller because I use assault legs or FW legs or I do a bit of spacing (It's my nod of a hat to true scaling) This first guy is my effort to make use of the 30 odd pairs of legs I have so that they don't look naff: and then this fellow: recognise him? Till the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Been working on that tac squad, reposing all the legs. Quite happy how they turned out. I am meant to be doing more assault marines for my force but I have this overwhelming desire to finish my battle company. C&C welcome as always.
