Lostrael Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 OK...."Sword! I Damn thee!" uhmm why do you damn that sword? I think it looks fine  What color do you use to get this shiny blue on your plasma weapons and sword? I tried to mix it, but could not get it right. Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostrael Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 A while ago... your thread is quite long and my question was imprecise. What wash are you using? I tried out secret weapon blue wash, which was to light and GW drakenhof nightshade, which was nearly black for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Fair enough :D For this one (because I am inconsistent), all paints kept thin with plenty of water... I undercoated white, layer turquoise, did a little pre-highlighting in white, couple of Asurman blue washes, first proper highlight and lightening in Ice blue, white highlight and lightening, tidy the lightening up with blue ink (OOP) add 'glow' with white wash (50/50 paint and water). I actually stuffed this one up several times so he's not perfect in the detail, but the luminosity from the white is maintained through the transparency of the paints.  :D stobz Lostrael 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenz Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Absolutely loving that sword Stobz. I really enjoy how you're always pushing new ideas with your power weapons  The rest of the model is fantastic too! But as deathspectre stated so eloquently, "Dam that sword!"

Interrogator Stobz Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Having a lazy Easter Friday, my wife and I decided to cancel our camping trip due to other commitments, so after a day of hard labour around the home I thought I'd see how some pics would turn out with my new diffused LED lamp. I always thought that my RW pics were too dark so hopefully this helps, what do think about the lighting of this pic of the 'Fabulous Five' compared to the earlier ones? Â The obvious challenge is to get a decent look at the darker detail without over exposing the pic, and to get the plasma and power effects to look like they are glowing at the same time (and I'll need to work on the focus in weird light too ) Â "Within the sounds, of silence" Â Focus is not 100% but the colours are showing better to my eye. Â Still two RWKs and some basing to go before they become the 'Magnificent Seven' Edited March 6, 2022 by Interrogator Stobz elmo, Lostrael, Punk possum and 9 others 12 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks dudes. Now I just need to paint the last two of the Command Squad, get them all based and put on a decent background to make them look finished. Patience for the Slacker may be needed ;) Â Elmo, your pics are great; your lighting always looks bang on. I'd say yours are better.

shabbadoo Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 You've accomplished quite a bit. Barring anything coming out in the future, what is left on your list of "DA Units To Paint" at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Actually still quite a bit, but my priorities have shifted in R/L so my beloved DA get the last of my spare time now; that means I have decided that I will be aiming for mostly quality over quantity from now on, this may also mean I'll never be done    The list is: Ravenwing -Finish this 6 man RW Command Sqn, -1 5 man Black Knight Sqn -1 Librarian on Bike -2 full RWAS with ABs and Speeders -3 Dark Talons/Neph(magnets)* -1 Darkshroud Vengeance pattern Speeder*  Greenwing -1 5 man MkIII Siege Breaker Vet Sqd -1 MkIIb Achilles Landraider* -1 more Deathwind Droppod* -Many Vets/Command Squad weapon swaps etc.  Deathwing -2 5 man Deathwing Sqds -1 Lucius Droppod either white for my Contemptor or Black for Chaplain Lucifers' Dreadnought (undecided) -Some Leviathans (I want heaps but can't afford them at the moment.)*  *means I have yet to buy them :D  Who shall get the love once I've finished my current unit??? That is always the dilemma ;) elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabbadoo Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Considering what you have already finished, that is a short list.   The Deathwing group is comparatively small, so I say splurge on TWO Leviathans (you may not be able to put little hot dog slices in your mac-n'-cheese for a few months, or buy ramen that actually contains a flavor packet, but it will be totally worth it! ) , so you can have that "I'm the strong one; 'e's the fast one." - tag team effect going on, and finish the Deathwing compliment of your force. And it's "only" 13 models.

Interrogator Stobz Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Model wise you are right, rules wise they (TDA) suck, dilemmas, dilemmas :D Luckily I don't need to decide until the RWCS is finished, and that'll be a few weeks at least......

shabbadoo Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 They are fine rules-wise; you just need to combine either DW formation with another formation that is not too costly and actually deploys, like the oft-maligned Darkshroud RWSS (which ranges from 130-350 pts.).  Turn 1 it is the only unit deployed ( in cover obviously), only it can be targeted, and if it is targeted it can just Jink. Good luck killing four vehicles with 2+ re-rollable cover saves.

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 It must be ETL time again, I guess I'll have to hurry up and finish my RW Black Knight that I'm working on so these fellas can get put together before kick off: Â Â Great speed of delivery to the other side of the world, only 8 days total!
