Wayward Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hey there, finished my first Deathwing squad... Been looking for the right bone tone for years, and I think I finnally got it. Through all this time, many great artists on this very forum served as inspiration to achieve whats below these words. Thanks to you all! http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/436/zakielsquad.jpg http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/691/zak00.th.jpghttp://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7706/zak01.th.jpghttp://img850.imageshack.us/img850/7403/zak02.th.jpghttp://img847.imageshack.us/img847/1240/zak03.th.jpghttp://img846.imageshack.us/img846/5205/zak04.th.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225808-deathwing-squad-zakiel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayward Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks a lot lads! Now to the data. The daggers were not my idea, as I said above, I took inspiration from many great artists in this forum. In this case it was Bevulf's idea, the hilt is a normal DA vet dagger, and the sheaths are from some old space wolves sprue. I had a friend that lended me some, and the rest I'll need will be cloned at home, but they should be found on ebay. Bone recipe: Heres a problem. I dont do GW paints... I use local brands form were I live, Argentina. But, with citadel colour chart on screen will try to do an aproach: *Base: Khemri brown *Layer: Commando khaki *Layer: Bleached Bone (Here you have to try to leave some Khaki in the lower/darker areas. Yes, it will look blocky but thats not a problem.) *Gyrphonne Sepia wash (this is really a shot in the dark, I really cant tell if it will look like the wash I used, because mine is a mix of acrylic wax, water and some paint...) Once everything dried up, I gave it a *Layer: Bleached Bone (but is a weird one, in some areas it was a 3rd layer, in some it was the first highlight. You have to work it as you go along with it I guess.) *Highlight: B. Bone/Skull Whit 50/50 *Highlight: B.Bone/Skull White 25/75 *Get some rest! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225808-deathwing-squad-zakiel/#findComment-2703902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodMC Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 There can never be enough Deathwing. In particular, there can never be enough awesomely painted and converted Deathwing. You've really captured the look of them from the Deathwing-related art. Big thumbs up.

The 40k Hobbiest Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I never thought that I would ever describe an eight-foot tall genetically enhanced superhuman in several tons of armor and carrying a machine gun that shoots .75 caliber rocket-propelled rounds as "pretty," but here we are.

Isiah Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Wayward... they look awesome. I love the classical white bias to your bone colour and teh red weapon/claw blades. I also like their personal tilt plate heraldry.

Seth the Dark Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 They look very nice. It might inspire me to work on a Deathwing army of my own! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225808-deathwing-squad-zakiel/#findComment-2708410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Thanks all lads, hope the bone recipe I typed make some sense... @Seth the dark: Go ahead and inspire yourself, thats the idea of posting pics IMO. Be sure to chek Vansan and Vadskær works too, they were, among others, inspiration for me.

Freakiq Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I love how you made them a bit darker than usual. ;) Most Deathwing tend to be way too bright and end up looking like white chocolate.
