Dam13n Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 A Local GW Staffer loudly proclaimed in front of me that painting these were "impossible" and he'd given up after trying to paint 1 model... Sounded like a challenge to me...

MagicMan Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Dude these are lush. They look a little cluttered in the big pictures with the weathering, but hell you're showing the model at 10 x its normal size. Really awesome marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The look quite tasty, brother. I do think the colour blending needs to be refined and the paint chipping needs to be toned down in terms of brightness of the lighter colour used though (or brighten up the darker colour a wee bit). The paint chips stand out ALOT and threaten to draw focus away from the rest of the models. Besides that I actually really like them. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhawk3015 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Very nicely done. To the GW staffer I would hope a smartaleck remark has, or will be made regarding the "impossibility". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 more storm lords are being done.....these are very nice indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 While I'm not a fan of the 'style' of chipping/damage, as I think it really takes in most of the viewer's attention and leaves the rest of the model in the background, I can certainly appreciate the skill with which it's been executed. Nice colour work in general and overall pretty fantastic models, I'd be very proud. Will they be getting a spot in your GW's cabinets? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Fatiswon Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 only think for me is, i'm not a fan of the color choice for your lens and plasma/power-weapons... just a bit too sky blue for me. other than that i'm all about your battle damaged storm lords from the Real grim dark of the far far future.

Dam13n Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Magicman - thanks... Olisredan - I'm happy with the red and yellow, as looks nicer in real life, the white battle damage was a bit of an experiment, I usually prefer a brown for the battle damage on white, but went with shadow grey for contrast with the red and yellow... agree it's come off a little harsh, but I'm not going to redo them now... Thunderhawk3015 - Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed showing them off to him yesterday... Dorns_Fist - thanks... Draakur - thanks, they will probably find their way in there eventually, I usually only get my competition entries displayed, so I may hold them for the next "best unit" competition. Brother_Fatiswon - well I did actually repaint the eyes 3 times before getting something I was happy with, they're hawk turquoise rather than sky blue... They really needed to stand out because the helmets were getting lost in the scheme... thanks... Laterz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Nice very nice. look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siege40k Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 These look amazing... I hope I can do just as good for the Storm Lords. I think just your nmm and OSL look amazing, the battle damage kinda clutters it up, but they look bloody amazing. Are the chapter symbols hand painted or decals?

Dam13n Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Grimdarkness - Thanks... Siege40k - Thanks... The symbols were handpainted. Written guide would be: Iyanden Darksun (or Mecharite Red if doing on the left shoulder): - Paint Lines from a central point at 0' 120' and 240' - Paint a triangle extending out to 1 side on the end of each line - Paint a box extending out the other side of the line toward the centre - This should give the 3 lightning bolts Bleached Bone: - Just above where the lines converged (the centre) paint a wide oval to make the forehead of the skull - Paint a figure of 8 on its side below this to create the eyes - Paint a line underneath this to create the upper jaw - Paint a thin line up from this to besect the nose into an upside down V - This should give the basic shape of the skull Snakebite Leather: - Paint into the eye sockets and nasal cavity - Paint a small flattened V above the eyes to furrow the brow slightly - Paint 2 thin lines to the sides of the forehead to create the temples - Create the teeth with 3 small vertical lines - Outline the skull where it meets the yellow bolts and extend these into the bolts to shade them (if doing red bolts I would suggest using dark flesh for this bit) Scorched Brown: - Deepen the eye sockets and nasal cavity Skull White: - Highlight the skull focussing on the top of the head, brows, cheek bones and teeth Iyanden Darksun (or Blood Red if red bolts): - Touch up the bolts until happy Kommando Khaki: - Highlight the lightning bolts Laterz...
