Yay, more World Eaters! We'll make a member of the XII Legion of you yet -- especially with the plastic Mk 3 Marines and all... ;)

 

The new guy is looking excellent -- like a barbarian warlord in SciFi equipment! There's a certain wonkiness to the proportions, but that has everything to do with FW's parts and nothing with your work. The paintjob is fantastic, as is the tutorial: Given the quality of your paintjobs, I was pleasantly surprised to learn your WE recipe isn't that different from mine -- I must be doing something right, after all ;)

 

Anyway, fantastic stuff, as usual!

I've based the Thousand Son. Unfortunately the weathering powder refused to adhere to the armour...

Stunning World Eater, Kizz! You've hit the amount of blood just perfectly.

Thanks a lot, bro! Glad you like the amount of blood.

 

I really like it, man... you're tempting me to add some Triarii allies for my Word Bearers, damnit...

On the blood... I think you added the right amount, but it looks a bit bright. It may be a trick on the eyes due to the white, but perhaps next time add more black or use Blood for the Blood God.

Thanks, mate! And yes, you should definitely add some World Eaters to your Word Bearers.

The blood is a bit darker in person, but I take your point.

 

These tutorials are great Kizzdougs, makes me want to try some other Heresy armies :thumbsup:

Hahaha, have a go! Painting each of the Legions definitely gave me a greater appreciation of the different colour schemes. Plus it's a great way to learn some new techniques and use colours that you wouldn't usually use.

 

By Khorne,your 'zerks are awesome!! Great tutes

Thanks bro! Glad you like the World Eaters.

 

The Ogre gutplate is a great idea for a world eater combat shield! thumps up! :thumbsup:

Thanks bro! I can't remember where I first got the gutplate idea. It might have been in KrautScientist's or Biohazard's thread.

Thanks for the kind words, bro! It's always great to hear that the king of everything Khorne related approves of my World Eaters.

 

@krautscientist - doing something right? Dude have you seen your work?

@kizz - join the XII, join them naow!!!

Hahahaha, we'll see ;)

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

Hey Kizz, Mike here from the HH Painting & Modelling Group.

 

Cheers for the great tutorial on your Thousend Sons. Unfortunately I can't really apply your approch to mine since I already got the Tamyja Clear colors for my project.I even hat to import them from GB, so I'll refrain from importing even more Tamyja stuff I can't get here ^.^

 

Btw.: You can find the color scheme I was refering to here:

As per your post:

Have you tried to ad a slight coat of Matte Varnish to the areas where you'd like the dust to be? 
You can brush on the dust, fix ist and revarnish the non dusty areas ( I just assume you keep your metallic armor gloss varnished), which leaves the dusty areas nice, dull and dusty, whaile the rest of the armor would look as usuall.

Stunning World Eater with just the right amount of blood.

 

That Thousand Son looks great too - although a bit bland compared to the others. But that says practically nohting, because the others are stellar. 

 

About the weathering powders not sticking to the Metallic paint: try to cover the areas you want to cover with some GW Lahmian Medium - it will take off the sheen, so use it sparingly above the foot, but the weathering powders should stick just fine on it after that. :t:

Well, well...I did not know that

Yeah, Lahmian Medium acts basically as a colourless acryllic paint, so it provides the same texture on which weathering powders normally stick. Thinking about it, I'm not sure though if Lahmian Medium sticks to Tamiya Metalic Red like it does on other acryllic paints. I've never used Tamiya Metallics before, so it's up to kizzdougs to decide if he wants to try it, and then hopefully tell us about the results... ? :)

I prefer your World Eater over your Thousand Son. The lack of highlights on the red armour makes it look quite dull.

That's not surprising. The World Eater took about three times longer to paint :P

I started off by putting the weathering powder straight over the top of the gloss armour, but the matt varnish that I usually use to seal weathering powder just washed it all off. I tried to add more weathering powder over the now matt legs, but it still had trouble adhering. It wasn't a FW weathering powder so that might have something to do with.

Thanks a lot, bro! I couldn't get the weathering powder to work over the top of a matt varnish, but I'll give the Lahmian Medium a try as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for the tip :tu:

The WE needs more blood, specially over the fists.

The thousand son must be a biomant if dirt refuses to adhere to his plate :tongue.:. The scarab is perfect.

Never enough blood for a World Eater I guess :P

That's the perfect excuse for the Thousand Son! Glad you like the Scarab.

 

Great work as usual Kizz. The world eater is perfect, think you have the right amount of blood, looks like its spray from the chain axe rather then him having a shower of blood. The thousand son is good to.

Thanks a lot bro! Glad you like the World Eater and the Thousand Son :tu:

No probs. Would you let us/me know how it went? I never tried that trick over Tamiya Metalic Red before, so I'd love to know if it works.

Dear Kizzdougs,

 

Thank you.

 

I've been lurking these forums for a looooooooong time now, and since finally registering about 7-8 years ago I've posted nothing until today.  I wanted to bring that up because I hope it adds some weight to the enormous thanks I wanted to give you for all the inspiration I've derived from this single thread.  My first ever GW purchase was a box of marines that I painted as blood angels back in '91, but the majority of my 40k gaming life was devoted to alpha legion csm.  Nowadays tho I have a job/family/house and thought I would never have time to paint/model/play again but your tutorial earlier this year on 30k alpha legion was so simple it inspired me to pick up a Calth box and paint it up with the metallic spray.

 

Its such a simple thing really.  Your one tutorial breathed life right back in to me.  Not just in terms of breaking through my painting wall either.  After not playing any GW games in many years I'm now making time to play in a 30k league with my Alpha legion and have picked up a second Calth box and a bunch of other 30k minis and am using your thousand sons metallic scheme to paint blood angels, bringing everything back full circle in my hobby life.  Just happening upon your thread has had a major snowball effect on me, and for that I thank you!

 

Cheers :)

Well what can I say? Thank you very much for the kind words. Hearing this kind of story from a fellow painter/gamer is pretty much the highest raise you can get and very inspiring for me. 

 

Secondly, welcome back to the hobby and 30k! Once you have some pictures to share you should definitely consider starting your on project thread. I'd love to see some of your Alpha Legion, and a WIP thread can be a great source of inspiration and community interaction.

 

If you have any questions about the AL scheme or painting in general, just shoot me a message and I'd be happy to help as much as I can :)

 

Thanks again for the kind words :tu:

I've been meaning to build this mini for awhile, but only just got around to it.

He still needs a fair bit of work, particularly the right arm and shoulder. I'm also planning to add some strips of scripture.

What do you think so far?

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)
