Ahrimanjjb Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Cheers for the comments guys, should have a few updates with yet another, and possibly final, colour scheme I've tried. @Wicced I have thought about what I'm going to be doing with that and came to the conclusion that as its not an aquila I shall let him bear it un-desecrated, maybe even write up some fluff for him to explain it. @LuNCHBiZZLe It depends honestly as I do the models slightly differently each time (not on purpose, I can't seem to remember what I did the last time) but they all essentially are boltgun metal washed heavily with asurmen blue, then repainted boltgun and highlighted mithril before inking blue again. Not sure what that is in the new paint collection but should be pretty similar. Then sometimes I ink it with black but it depends how blue you want it. @georgeapg Cheers dude and I don't think the dread is that much bigger than a normal one; the walls its on might add a bit of hight as might the exhaust vents but I think its mainly the angle. I'll get a scale shot when he's a bit closer to completion. Cheers again guys.

LuNCHBiZZLe Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks man. Had a buddy at a local game store use a blue steel color that I can't find anywhere and your technique is extremely close to the end result. been wanting to replicate the look for years on my IW.

Ahrimanjjb Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Been a long time since my last up date again, but I'm still struggling with getting a consistent armour colour which I like, but hey, here's a nearly finished tactical squad for you: http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg336/Ahrimanjjb/Iron%20Warriors/P1000206.jpg http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg336/Ahrimanjjb/Iron%20Warriors/P1000209.jpg http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg336/Ahrimanjjb/Iron%20Warriors/P1000211.jpg All pretty self explanatory. Also finished making my Aspiring Champion for my third tactical squad: http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg336/Ahrimanjjb/Iron%20Warriors/P1000205.jpg Also decided to join the E Tenebrae Lux challenge to hopefully speed me up, want to get the whole lot finished by my campaign weekend in september. Will hopefully have some more updates soon. +Edit+ Meant to be writing 3,000 word report, instead started meddling with my Champion's stave: Not finished yet, but on its way http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg336/Ahrimanjjb/Iron%20Warriors/P1000213.jpg C&C as normal.

Llagos_Tyrant Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Looking good. I love that claw and bionic leg btw. Makes me think of Storm of Iron :P Now go write that report! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242250-tempered-steel-darkened-souls/page/2/#findComment-3084220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Great stuff and I am looking forward to seeing that new champ finished up! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242250-tempered-steel-darkened-souls/page/2/#findComment-3084402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahrimanjjb Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just a quick post to prove I'm still alive and struggling with this force. Just under a month to get this army finished for my event on the 14th and I still have several squads, vehicles and details to do. Not that I'm panicking. I've made some headway with my tactical squads (the one I failed to do for the ETL seeing as I was on holiday...) but shall post pictures of that once they're complete, for now here are some PIP of my Dreadnought: Helpless guardsmen reaching for a grenade which the Dreadnought's hubris or targeting matrix deemed unimportant Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242250-tempered-steel-darkened-souls/page/2/#findComment-3161049 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahrimanjjb Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Another PIP picture of my dreadnought, really loving how he's turning out personnally, should be a good centre piece figure: C&C appreciated, cheers guys.
