Losfer Werds Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 For blonde I do a quick (thin) coat of calthan brown, then cover it with a coat of bleached bone with skull white highlighting the raised areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Cool, I'll have to try it. I just finished my next 5 DC and the poses are the best I've done yet, I'll have to get some pics up of them before I paint them so I can get a WIP thing going on, I'll just jack this thread for it. What's the best way to get pics on here, photobucket or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 What's the best way to get pics on here, photobucket or something? I use photobucket, just because it's free, and you can do any cropping you need before you post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 It seems I've forgotten something for my DC squad, they don't have a Chapalin to lead them! Now I've got Lemartes, but taking him for a shooty DC squad just seems like a waste, he wont be able to use his jump pack when tied to a squad without. So looking through my bits box I came up with this: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j260/LosferWerds/2011-05-04_18-14-38_242.jpg He needs a little work where his pose is considered, but all-in-all I think he'll make a great chaplain. The crozius was made from a DC chainsword handle, a Power axe shaft, and the head is made from the banner pole top from the AoBR commander.

1Drop Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Nice work on the crozius conversion.. I think he looks at the moment just like another DC marine but I'm sure you'll bring the character of the model more to life when you paint him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seva Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think he will look great with some paint on him. He will look the part of the chaplain if you paint the helmet like a skull. Morticon had some friend that did this. I don't know the guy's name but I remember looking at the DC with the skull faces and thinking that I needed to steal it but I haven't yet. Nice model by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Needs some touch up work, but I've been painting this one all day between homework. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j260/LosferWerds/2011-05-05_00-40-43_404.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losfer Werds Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 @JBW: Over black I tend to make my paint a little thicker than I normally would. It's chaos black eve a flat black spray, so that helps a little, then once I'm done painting I use a little gloss on the blood drops to make them pop out a little more. @Mykra: He does look like he's just standing there, but I was out of running legs for the DC, and those were the DC legs that fit him the best. So here we go, the entire Death Company so far! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j260/LosferWerds/2011-05-05_21-00-02_996.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, are you using GW Mechrite? and how do you make your paints thicker? I ususally leave mine open for a couple hours. Are you doing the same for the whites? Thanks for the tips!

Losfer Werds Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 The red is straight Blood Red, by thicker I just mean more coats, though my red has been sitting out for a bit. The white is about the thinnest paint I use, mostly because I don't use it as often as the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 To start with I wanted to go outside the bits just in the DC box; I had a power fist left over from the Space Marine Commander that I really though would look great for this. Since he is spec'd for close combat I wanted it to look as if he'd already tasted some fighting both figuratively and literally. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j260/LosferWerds/2011-05-19_00-33-11_34.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so good man, two fists and mouth full of blood. Does the two fists change his attacks and stuff? Like is two fists legal even? I'm gonna have to do that myself, maybe with a RAS sarg if ts aloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Two power fists is legal but very expensive, +50 pts (more than a Thunder Hammer). I don't think I'd ever use him in a game, other than in a huge army where the extra cost of the fist is practically negligible. Basically I was just going for making a really cool looking model, pretty sure I succeeded there. There will be more DC coming up later as I finish more. Kind of a change of topic, I know it'd never be worth it, but has anyone ever painted DC scouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Not sure what I was going for here originally, but I like how it turned out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j260/LosferWerds/2011-06-11_02-37-22_176.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j260/LosferWerds/2011-06-11_02-36-52_56.jpg Maybe change the color of the other chain sword blade to black so the red on the teeth looks like blood rather than spots that I just forgot to paint.

Venerable Jazzman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm really liking those, good neat paintjob. One thing to look at for your next batch is maybe removing the mouldlines from the minis before you basecoat them - it will make a big difference to how they look when they're finished. Have a look at OMG's thread here, it's a good starting guide to help take your modelling forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks for the support Brother Jazzman. ...removing the mouldlines from the minis before you basecoat them This has kind of been left on the back burner by me for some time. I figure now that I have the a solid idea of how I want to paint my army set down this should be the next step. What do people often use to get rid of mouldlines? Edit: Quick sidebar. if anyone would like to, feel free to threadjack show off their own dynamic Death Company poses. That IS why I started it.
