Rangaman Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm really liking the Palatines and your new Praetor. Quick question(s), how do you a) get your weathering powder to look so piled on and b) how do you get such clear photos???

Kobrakei Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I wouldn't change the basing on your Emp's Children at all, it looks great and really fit the 'clean' theme you have. In fact how do you do those bases? Are they resin? Â However... Â As you're thinking of changing it, and yes, even asking the question counts, I would say go with whatever you feel is best. It'll look great either way :) Kizzdougs 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236305-the-sekhmethh-emperors-children-loken-vs-abaddon-12624/page/57/#findComment-4279914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) The Brotherhood of the Palatine Blades is complete! I'm keeping the unit at eight strong so that when my Anvilus arrives from FW they'll be able ride in it with the Primus Medicae and the Praetor (who I have just started painting). These minis were heaps of fun to paint and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone.  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4024_zpsd6lu3mv2.jpg  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4023_zpsnapa3v3s.jpg  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4022_zpsyhd1t4bt.jpg  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4021_zpsegptlo70.jpg   I'm really liking the Palatines and your new Praetor. Quick question(s), how do you a) get your weathering powder to look so piled on and how do you get such clear photos??? Thanks, bro! There isn't really a special technique I have with the weathering powder. I just brush it on with a medium sized brush. It naturally clumps in grooves and crevices. With the photos I use a digital camera on the 'close-up' setting and I position the models on a large pice of white paper, and use a lamp to light up the minis. I find that the flash on cameras overexposes the minis so a lamp is much better. There are much better ways to take pictures of your miniatures, such as with an actual light box, but I find that my technique is usually adequate for my needs.  I wouldn't change the basing on your Emp's Children at all, it looks great and really fit the 'clean' theme you have. In fact how do you do those bases? Are they resin?  However...  As you're thinking of changing it, and yes, even asking the question counts, I would say go with whatever you feel is best. It'll look great either way Thanks, mate! I made the bases my self use plastic-card, greenstuff and a couple of other things. Here are some pics of what they look like, before and after painting  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3377_zpsxoodq4fp.jpg  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3379_zpszivdurob.jpg  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3381_zpsslt3odfg.jpg  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3309_zpsbibjga4t.jpg  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3313_zpslpncnhte.jpg    Thanks for looking Edited January 22, 2016 by kizzdougs Flint13, Thousand Eyes, Athrawes and 17 others 20 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236305-the-sekhmethh-emperors-children-loken-vs-abaddon-12624/page/57/#findComment-4281424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzdougs Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 The Anvillus is assembled and undercoated... I'm not looking forward to painting it... I'm also part way through assembling the Lightning and it's looks like it's going to be a much nicer mini to paint.  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4026_zps8vjpck1t.jpg  Everyone's favourite diorama king, EdT, generously sent me a bag bits and I've been playing around with some of the goodies in question. The VIII Legion Praetor/Delegatus is slowly starting to take shape. I haven't fully decided on any of the bits yet, but I'm happy with where he is going.  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4027_zpstpxnsdiu.jpg  I'm also trying to de-chaosify this shield for him.  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4028_zps0bgzxnxv.jpg      Those models are too nice.What's in those bags? Thanks, bro! I got two Medusas, a Lightning Strike Fighter, and an Anvillus drop pod for the Palatine Blades to ride in :)  The Palatine Blades are incredible man, the Emperors Children truly have some awesome looking models. Looking forward to seeing what's in those bags! Yeah, we're pretty spoilt for nice minis in the III Legion :)  That much resin always makes me happy, even if the recipient is a filthy traitor  .  I love the Palatines by the way, especially the one on the far right of the picture. Hahahaha, as Kurama said, I ain't no Traitor (yet). Everybody (on FB and on here) seems to love that particular Blade which is funny because he is probably my least favourite paint job of the lot :P   That much resin always makes me happy, even if the recipient is a filthy traitor . I love the Palatines by the way, especially the one on the far right of the picture. He's no Traitor !!!!@_# Thanks for having my back, bro! It hurts to be called a Traitor :P  Oh boy, oh boy! Yeah, that was my reaction when the FW box arrived!  I can see an anvillus pod at least... Correct! It wasn't as difficult to assemble as I thought it might be, but I recon it's going to be a real pain to paint...   I can see an anvillus pod at least...  I'm pretty sure I've spotted a LR Proteus, too.

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 AWWW YISSSSS. Praetor looks fab so far. I don;t know how I feel about your DE-chaosifying of the shield, but hey, who can complain with the rest of that mini. ;) Â Also: how did you find assembly of the Dreadclaw? I have one and I haven't even finished building it I got so frustrated. Simultaneously binge-watching season 1 of Narcos also had something to do with that, but still. Did yours properly fit?

Daemon2027 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 What's the base model for the praetor? Looks like it's lacking a bit of detail, but then your painting will probably bring it out.
