shabbadoo Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) And here I was thinking that I would have to give you crap if you didn't tone down that glaring white base coat. You are a machine! They look great, and two of each! Almost makes me forget about the Thunderhawk. Almost.

Interrogator Stobz Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Cheers Boss, battle damage and wear'n'tear are the way to go with white toys; it's really hard to get lighting for pics of white models that don't reflect glare everywhere too. I'm glad you approve, as mentioned earlier I might treat myself to some THk love once ETL14 is finished....tbc EDIT: For clarity I only painted THREE Raiders for my vow, the fourth is the one shown much earlier in this thread and is only there to show the whole DW fleet off together.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If I had LR's as sweet as that I would sleep with them under my pillow. Cheers for an awesome paint job. :tu: Interrogator Stobz and Tanhausen 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Wow, a thread updated that barely has bla bla bla... AND FOUR LANRAIDERS? How do you expect me to continue working after so much awesome-ness and bling? Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 [drools] So... preeettty. Can I have the paint recipe, please Stobz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Land raiders should be green but if I had to have a white one I'd want one painted by you Stobz. :tu: Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Haha, they need to be white to be worth an extra 30 points each for the ETL ;) Gillyfish sir, I posted it many pages ago (post 600) but there is a tonne of waffle between here and there so here it is again: Spray white (twice) Chainmail tracks and other metal bits Black in some recessed bits Dheneb stone on icons Brown ink in the recesses and edges and icons (the old black-lining technique) Badab Black wash metal bits Agrax wash icons Fix all the bits that are over the edges with ceramic white (better than Skull white for this but looks uneven at that stage) 20% Agrax-80%water wash over all white bits, avoid pooling by spreading it around Drybrush skull white to smooth out ink but keep a little extra brown near edges and lower bits. Touch up Chainmail areas that got white brushed Drybrush Chainmail onto metal Chaos Black highlight edges of white bits Weather with superlight drybrush black and occasional stippling and occasional chainmail stipples Codex grey on icons Chestnut wash icons Highlight icons with white/teal mixture Paint other bling like gold and red bits using whatever take your fancy Add Red ink scribbles Paint rivets in Chainmail now or they just get rubbed off by my rough mits during handling Sit back, drink Whiskey, be happy.

Bryan Blaire Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I like that last step best of all. :) They look fantastic, Brother Bobz, very good show. Good luck on completing your vow! I've told you before, I really like your barrel glows (and you need to start using the new paints so you can tell me how to do it without me having to run everywhere trying to translate colors), but I also like the awesome blue-ish targeters and lenses and it's very cool that it uses a color not often used on Dark Angels vehicles! Really like the sweetly simple auto-multi meltas as well. Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Not finished yet, I have five Cactusphractii Knights to do yet EDIT: Here they are :P Edited July 3, 2014 by Stobz Spinsanity, Spaced Hulk, Galthan Ironsturm and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Oh my goodness... I LOVE LOVE LOVE those models. Are they straight "from the box" or do they involve some conversion? Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 My conversions must be getting better if you can't see where they are ;) Plenty of chopping for these guys T: getting the shields to fit the FW arms was difficult, getting the tabard things to fit the torsos and legs was difficult, green-stuffing the top half of the tabards was difficult, hell even sanding the little icons on their shoulders down was difficult as I kept going right through them and wasted three before I got five whole ones done. I'm just really glad Cactus took the plunge before me and gave me confidence and inspiration to finally do my version, which are surprisingly similar :P Hence my name for these fellas in honour of Cactus's work. CACTUSPHRACTII!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Cheers for the recipe Stobz. Seems deceptively simple, but I'm guessing its the wash-lining that takes the time? The Cataphractii look good. Really nice conversions there. :) Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larhendiel Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Nice idea on those land raiders but those knights look promising! Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Conversions? Nice nice... Now that you mention, did you greenstuff the togas in the chest? Looking forward to seeing some paint slapped on them...though I shouldn't claim for what I'm unable to deliver for the ETL :( Hopefully the week of the 14th...

Captain Semper Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Stobz those LRs are so impressive! I really like the white white approach (since you have the skill to deliver it) as opposed to the more common bone white! And those termies? the conversion is fantastic - and brave may i add... What colour will you choose for the robes? standard green or red? *please go red* Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Rage Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Land raiders are very nice, I need to get around to getting some heavier armour for my force eventually. Looking forward to seeing those cataphractii termies painted up. Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Here is the answer to your question Master of Ceremonies Dude: He took me four evenings to get to this stage, I'm really going to struggle to get the other ones done in the remainder of the month. Still a couple of highlights (such as on the glow) and maybe some freehand after the event ;) Log rolls....
