KfS Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Excellent yellow. Also love the coloring of the bolt pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 40k Hobbiest Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm a huge fan of the aquilla. That's a really cool way to paint it. And I especially like how it matched up with the plasma coils on the plasma gun and the lighting on the power axe. Good job, man! In many ways color choice is more important than painting ability, and you've done quite well at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Awesome job, love the power weapons and the general colour selection and technique bring it all together - they look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 40k Hobbiest Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I've seen this a couple of times, but what does LPC stand for? And why do we keep using the word "vow" in reference to certain projects? I keep seeing stuff like that everywhere. Sorry for the off-topic questions.

Seva Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Librarium Painting Challenge is what LPC stands for. In January or sometime around then we all "vow" to complete our LPC challenge. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seva Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Very crisp, any chance of a recipe for your aquila and your yellow? For the Aquila I start with space wolf gray/shadow gray watered down. I will hit it with a with a diluted wash of asurman blue. From there i just progressively build up to the white I want by adding astro gray then white. I would give the mix ratio but its different each time. I think it is a matter of personal preference how white you want to go with it. Yellow on these guys I did a little differently than normal. I started with diluted snakebite leather and added some Iyanden Darksun to that for a couple of coats. Then I built up to the yellow I wanted using bad moon yellow and eventually adding skull white at the very end. The last highlight is almost pure skull white but you have to go sparingly with it. For the Robes I tried to make them white at first but that just didn't look right.You can see the failed attempt at white in the WIP thread if you like. I ended up going with the old standard robe recipe of starting with graveyard earth and then adding bleached bone to it until I got it where i wanted it. Throw some washes of devlan mud in there for good measure then build up to white/bleached bone to your hearts content. Hope that helped and thanks for the kind words.
