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

Look at the dude on the left.

 

Yes sorry I thought you meant painting them. That is the kit I also used 2 of the skull from that kit to do his shoulder pad and face.

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

And here he is assembled

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.

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

I left the fist off the last pic to show what I used to attach his talon/fist.

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

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.

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.

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.

The Sanguinor's Mega Jump Pack is rad.

 

Its pretty easy to make, just cut out the middle of a standard Jumppack.

 

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.

I love the underslung TL Assault Cannon. I assume it magnetized? Is it a drop pod missile housing you have used?

 

 

Nope, the assault cannon and the front engines are from the stormtalon.

:( not something I'm gonna get my hands on anytime soon. ill have to wing it and improvise. ;)

Thanks though. :D
