Khargan Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 I am actually thinking about using this as a reference (courtesy of BuzZin from http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/showthread.php?35457) http://www.monsterminiatures.com/images/mhead1.jpg http://www.monsterminiatures.com/images/mhead2.jpg http://www.monsterminiatures.com/images/mhead3.jpg :down: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234784-space-marine-display-army-executioners/page/3/#findComment-2838343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Maybe one glaze potentionally as I can see the blue tint on the unweathered leg but I think it gets lost a bit with all the weather as the weathering quite dark. Does thar help at all? Looking at your test model would be quite cool, have a feeling my paint scheme for the executioners is a little simple compared to yours.I baseboat with boltgun metal and then give a couple of washes of enchanted blue and then highlight. Thanks for the run down on the weathering, can't decide if I want to weather mine yet. Also, what's this Vallejo Metal medium? Is it like a wash designed for metalics?

Khargan Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Metal medium is basically an off white metal :down: so awesome for highlighting metal and glint/sheen, but I use it in glazes and mixing with boltgun to get a better highlight colour than the crappy chain and myth test subject http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8702.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8703.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8704.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8705.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234784-space-marine-display-army-executioners/page/3/#findComment-2838375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 See that's the metalic blue that I had in mind when I think of the Executioners! I do really like the weathering you've done on your contemptor though so maybe a blue glaze or something to give it a bit more blue as I think that the blue metalic scheme is what makes the Executioners stand out... That and the amazing background Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234784-space-marine-display-army-executioners/page/3/#findComment-2838391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Kanithon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I really like it with the single blue glaze. You've set a high standard Khargan! Think I'm gunna have to up my game and paint another test model to compete with this. I really do like your weathering and the metalic shade you got going on.

Chapter Master Kanithon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Well, I'll have my new test model doing by sunday. Then I've just got to paint the rest, already got 2 tactical squads assembled. So a joint blog could be quite possible... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234784-space-marine-display-army-executioners/page/3/#findComment-2838442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 You probably won't like this, but I like it as is, almost like it was built like that and imprinted in the bare armour. It looks subtle, yet striking.

Khargan Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 you think I should just highlight it and damage it and leave as is? that isn't a half bad idea and I can cover it in muck happily Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234784-space-marine-display-army-executioners/page/3/#findComment-2838647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yep. Make it look like it was cast right into the leg when it was forged. That'd look gnarly.

ephrael Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 you think I should just highlight it and damage it and leave as is? that isn't a half bad idea and I can cover it in muck happily I agree with 1000Heathens and yourself. Highlight, battle damage, done. The metals look fantastic by the way. I bought a bottle of metal medium last week and now I know how to use it thanks to you.

Khargan Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Its honestly a pleasure to be able to give people inspiration and help from the work one does and infact am greatful to all the gamers/painters that create blogs here :P on the note of the skull, its done! however a bad thing has happened, the bloody loin cloth for the contemptor has gone walk abouts! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234784-space-marine-display-army-executioners/page/3/#findComment-2838659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khargan Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 I do have a question to the community about the Contemptor and infact about the entire army.. I never thought about the terrain and colour, I intend to Mig the boots and crevices up but in what colour? choice of rust orange, rust brown, brown, khaki green, urban rubble or rock rubble (both are shades like light khaki) let me know what you think Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234784-space-marine-display-army-executioners/page/3/#findComment-2838670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyen Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 What were you originally going to go for base wise? It looks as if you were going to go for a kinda wasteland battlefield. I'd say if you are going that route something dusty... khaki, brown, a mix of the two.

Khargan Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 I honestly dont know really, it could have been wasteland, it could have been outer urban, hell it could be alien world orange, dont know, I would like something that will compliment the model colour scheme when grimed up around the legs.
