JetfireUK Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hi Folks, Well I made a start with my Legion of the Damned. I have three blister pack figures who I've used as test minis. The beakie helmeted chap is the closest to completion with the Heavy Flamer chap needing the backpack and fine tuning. I've taken a few shots so that you can see the flame motif. Overall I'm fairly happy with these - the bone needs a bit of work on the backpacks but its okay. The armour still needs the chipping applied to it. The minis are lovely sculpts and I hope that have all three of these finished this week and have the boxed set of five cleaned up next weekend ready for paint. Enough rambling - what do you think so far? http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271779.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271780.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271781.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271782.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271783.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271784.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271785.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271786.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271787.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 These look quality! Love the colours you got there, the fire look's great & the colour of the bones is also very nice. Certainly very nice so far brother!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi Folks, I've finished off these three Legion of the Damned - I'll add them to my Hall of Honor thread. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271788.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetfireUK Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Cheers! I have the squad of 5 to prepare and prime and hope to have a shot of them ready for painting by the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi Folks, Here's just a little update on my squad of five Legion of the Damned. I've got the base coat of Regal Blue/Chaos Black done, the bases prepped up and started work on the flames and the bone. Hopefully I'll have one of these done over the week. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271789.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi Folks, Here's a shot of how things are looking on my Legion of the Damned squad so far. None of these are finished - although they are about 90% done. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271790.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271792.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271791.jpg Hopefully by next weekend I should have the squad finished up and I'll post pictures of all my LoTD troops then.

JetfireUK Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi Folks, Wow, has it been that long since I've put an update on this blog?! Just so you know that I haven't disappeared off the planet (or forum for that matter!) I thought to add a few WIP shots of my Grey Knight Terminators. None of the models are anywhere near finished but things are coming together. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271851.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271853.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271854.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271855.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271856.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271858.jpg Photos to follow next weekend where I hope to have the main parts of each body done and the flock sorted on the bases. What do you think so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetfireUK Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi Folks, Since completing my Grey Knight Terminators I've been working on a Strike Squad this month. Here's where I've got to so far. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271869.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271870.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271871.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271872.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayesh Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 love those blades - very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Nice painting, however, and this must be my pet peeve but flames are brightest at the core, not their extremity. So really the flames should be painted yellow at the bottom and orange towards the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Cheers for the comments! Lamentermarine - if you're refering to the flames on the Legion of the Damned marines I kept with the GW style. I think that it adds something to the highlights having the reversed flames.

Brother Dakath Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Awesome work on those blades. They look amazing, your LotD look equally exceptional as well. Cheers and keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Cheers for the kind comments MithrilForge and Brother Dakath. The blades are painted using 5 colours and mine are layered - compared to Garfy's superb blending. Chaos Black Regal Blue Enchanted Blue Ice Blue Skull White Start with a base of 60:40 Regal Blue and Chaos Black. Choose two points on the blade where you want to have the lightest areas - it's best to choose two points on each 'half' of the blade At the lightest area layer or blend a mix from Regal Blue to Enchanted blue and gradually work through to a finer line made up of 60:40 Ice Blue and Skull White Don't worry if you run over to the other 'half' of the blade. You can correct it afterwards by re-applying the base colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
