jim horatio Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 So i've just finished up my first attempt at converting Khârn to a pre-heresy kinda guy, i'd be interested to hear any comments on it! Painting's pretty poor and i'm not to happy with the axe, but early days and all that. thanks! http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h465/jimhoratio/kharn1st.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old git Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 First and most immediate impression is that you need to thin your paints by a fair bit. Several thin coats preserves the detail much better than obscuring features with one thick coat. Ok it may be a slower process but the end results will be much better. Try a smaller brush, or one with a fine point tip for getting into the awkward areas. Other than that the colours look spot on for a pre-heresy World eater.

Shadow Nugz Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Paint test marine from TSOALR? Just kidding. I remember when I was new-ish to the hobby and I know how much of a learning curve it is. Just keep persisting and getting better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quixus Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Are you sure that Khârn had the Bunny Ears before the Heresy? I don't remember reading this in the HH books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surreal Cruelty Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Khârn the Vorpal Bunny? I will say having the bunny ears leaves no doubt that is supposed to be Khârn. Check out some of the tutorials in the painting and converting thread...a few good ones on painting white...which is almost as hard as painting yellow or black.

thade Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 White paint is super hard to get right. You'll want to base in like a very light gray spray paint, then do repeated washes of white - letting each coat completely dry before applying the next - until it's smooth and consistent. It takes me a long time to do my solid white shoulder plates; I don't envy you for a solid white marine. @_@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
