iPaint Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hey everyone, new to B&C, but I have a few long running paint logs over on Warseer. Just thought I'd add some of my latest work on my Marines. Gotta love the Howling Griffons. Some WIP http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HowlingGriffons_Batch2_WIP_01.jpg Older pic, these have since been decaled and finished. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HowlingGriffons_NearDone_01.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HowlingGriffons_NearDone_02.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HowlingGriffons_NearDone_03.jpg And my decals, big thanks to everyone involved here for doing the work for all the decals that have been archived. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HowlingGriffonDecals.jpg I'll have some more pics up this week. Feel free to check out my other logs in my sig. ~iPaint A fine mind is a blessing of the Emperor - It should not be cluttered with trivialities.

Lorenzen Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 looking good, its nice to see their scheme executed so cleanly. will you be adding any of the imperial armour style night world livery to any units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3rman Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Love their clean scheme, very fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Cor blimey guvnor - They are bright! This thread should come with a health warning - sunglasses may be required :) But seriously, they are some very well executed models. Yellow and that orangy red are not the easiest of colours to get right as they tend to look washed out. I think you've hit the proverbial nail on the head though - they look fantastic. Just one very small critique though - I'm just going to say "Bolter barrels" and leave it at that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellos05 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Oh wow I know this is a WIP but there flawless! Thats gotta be the hardest scheme to do (except the storm lords) and you've executed them perfectly. Nice clean lines and a good use of the kitbashed armour. Very inspiring. How long did it take to paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPaint Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thanks for the comments everyone. And yes, I should put a disclaimer at the top haha. Prime white. Yellow: 3:2:1 mix of Sunburst Yellow, Iyanden Darksun, water. Apply to whole miniature. Pin wash with Gryphonne Sepia in recesses. A few highlights have been done in white, then inked with yellow ink, but you could probably do pure Sunburst if watered down. Red: 2:1:1 mix of Blood Red, Mechrite Red, water. Apply as quartered. Pin wash with Devlan Mud in recesses. Select highlights in Fiery Orange. Black, Adeptus Battlegrey, Fortress Grey for any black details. Fortress Grey washed with Badab Black for the black carapace bits. Knarloc Green, Scorpion Green, Thraka Green Wash, Scorpion Green again, White dot for the eyes. 1:1 mix Adeptus Battlegrey and Chainmail, Badab Black Wash, Chainmail highlights for silver. First 5 Tactical Marines finished. Really hard to capture the depth in the reds when its nighttime. Daylight pics are always better, but with daylight savings and a 9-5 job +2 hour commute, its hard to find daylight. Plus it cold outside. Anyway, pics. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HowlingGriffons_Fin_01.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HowlingGriffons_Fin_02.jpg And the Rhino/Razorback WIP. I stupidly sprayed the top hatch without checking its orientation to the FW decals I have, and had a 50/50 chance of it being wrong. Guess where it is now....Superclean bath. Tamiya Chrome Yellow and Bright Red sprays over a white primer. A bit of an underspray from the masking tape in some areas, but I'm not too picky about it. It should look fine from tabletop distance. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HG_Rhino_WIP.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HG_Rhino_WIP_02.jpg Interior is an off-white Krylon spray. I had it sitting around from my IG Valkyrie's underbelly. Worked out nice. Gryphonne Sepia to shade and Adeptus Battlegrey via sponge application for chips. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/swimnserve88/Howling%20Griffons/HG_Rhino_WIP_03.jpg ~iPaint Excuses are the refuge of the weak.

OptiMAT Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The artificial line quality and colour tone are really impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomsly Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 thanks for the recipe, its very good, will be giving this a go later i think. how is the colour match from the cans to the marines, looks like it will be pretty close to be honest keep up the fantastic work and keep us updated :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Reminds me of a great Howling Griffon army that was in WD many moons ago, except that he painted his vehicles a more neutral beige colour with just the doors etc painted in the red/yellow livery. Great looking models dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 That looks insanely crisp. You should be proud. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Excellent Gryphons! I'm looking forward to seeing some HQs. A Librarian would look spectacular in the red, yellow and blue. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomsly Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Excellent Gryphons! I'm looking forward to seeing some HQs.
