Talnox Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 could you give me a tutorial how to do the roses on lemartes weapon? :o All paint is thinned down 1:1 paint to water sometimes more. I use this technique for most of my painting it takes a while but I like the results. Step 1: Black primer Step 2: 4-6 Layers of Mechrite Step 3: 2-3 layers of Black Wash (I use my own recipe buts its very similar to les' from awesomepaintjob.com. In a .5 oz droper bottle I use 50% matte medium 50% water and few drops of liqutex blending additive followed by about 30 drops of black ink.) Step 4: lighten up red using a brighter red aviod the deep recesses and cracks Step 5: Use yellow to highlight the highest tips and sharp points. As I mentioned earlier I use this technique for most of the model Ill give you some of the colors I have worked with on these models For Gold Base: Dark Brown Base 2: Brass Wash: Black Base 3: Gold Highlight: Silver For White Base: Grey Wash: Black Base 2: White For Parchment: Base: Tan Base 2: Bleached Bone Wash: Black Base 3: Bleached Bone Highlight: Bleached Bone Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talnox Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Its been almost a month so I thought it was time for an update. I started with a test marine which is pretty much done i think. Here he is in all his magnetized and disassembled glory http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/314094_10150344877583493_553383492_8070174_1039190811_n.jpg And here he is assembled http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/313366_10150344876938493_553383492_8070173_439562070_n.jpg Once I had the look I wanted I started in on a 10 man squad. they are nearing completion but i still have alot of work to do. http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/314604_10150344878273493_553383492_8070175_1648198753_n.jpg Here's a front shot with JP's removed http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/313646_10150344879048493_553383492_8070176_648717476_n.jpg This last weekend I built a drop pod, LRR and furioso dread. I havent seen to many people magnetize their dread so I thought I would show off mine. I can run it as a furioso or liby with heavy flamer or stormbolter, and the magna grapple and smoke launchers are even mag'ed http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/308074_10150344879803493_553383492_8070177_1954871484_n.jpg http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/309869_10150344883378493_553383492_8070179_1161127801_n.jpg http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/307914_10150344885418493_553383492_8070180_1985237520_n.jpg I left the fist off the last pic to show what I used to attach his talon/fist. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/300976_10150344881538493_553383492_8070178_43230671_n.jpg Yes snaps!!! they are fantastic they also work well with turrets or other parts that need to turn. If anyone would like I can take a few more pics of how I made the talons/fists work with the snaps but you guys are smart enough to figure it out im sure. I know im kind of pic heavy today but I have one last one of my mag'ed landraider sponson http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/311991_10150344889948493_553383492_8070182_288126490_n.jpg Comments are always welcome and apreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitzkrieg861 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I move to have the OP screen name changed to Lord Kitbash of Kitbashington. Very nice Lemartes, until someone said otherwise I thought it was the stock GW model, no easy feat as he is indeed a beautiful model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talnox Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks I try and make all the special chars look like there real counterparts so people can tell what it is at a glance. I think I have more fun converting stuff than I do painting. Once this last order of stuff arrives (crosses fingers for today) and I get the last few things built I will go on a massive painting binge and see how much I can get done in the next 2 months. I told my wife i wouldnt be getting any warhammer stuff in dec. Ill keep posting progress update on my painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talnox Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Sorry for not posting any updates for a while. In November we found out that we are going to have an up and coming sister of battle(baby girl) in August. So I have been going to appointments and getting the baby room ready. Its still not much of an excuse for not painting for 5 months but that is what I keep telling my self. I got a box of Vanguard Vets a few months ago the casting was so bad I complained and got a new box now I have 10. The new box not being much better I decided to just cut off all the warped weapons, and attempted to cover most of the bubbles with green stuff. I got all the weapons glued on and some magnetized. I got so fed up looking at these while trying to get all the holes filled I just gave up and decided to paint them hoping I can hide most of the crap with paint. In a project I have named 'Operation Polish Turd' I will see if its really impossible to polish a 'turd'. I have a couple of pics of the models with red base coat. http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/555534_10150756426398493_553383492_9510665_1819444153_n.jpg http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/538492_10150756425898493_553383492_9510663_1453128035_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talnox Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Got some new stuff to show off. A test rhino to get an idea of how I want all my vehicles to look like. I borrowed an air brush from a friend which was a huge help to get the effect I wanted. Also, a stormraven I have been working on for the last week. I wanted something unique, but I cant say that I want to build another one right now or ever. The raven still needs a lot of finish work but I am really happy with how it turned out.

Wow, can't wait until that Stormraven is finished. Great work so far. Thanks, I have used it twice now and love it. Ill keep working on things and post updates as i can.
