Hrvat Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Ok after suffering some nightmares about brushes and the colour gold I present you Brother Devotee Coltrane of the Sagittarians http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020006.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020005.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020004.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020003.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020007.jpg *the last one has a bit of aritifical light to better show of the gold :D The base is a bit old school and I think I will keep it like that, maybe adding some flock when get to buying some of it.

dendrofil Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 This is taking forever. I just remembered why I hate painting gold. Off-topic warning! I don't know if you've already adressed the problem with painting gold, but I paint it like this - White undercoat (much easier to paint gold over white rather than black, even if its a metallic.) - Burnished gold - Mithril silver highlights - Gryphonne sepia (at least two layers). But I agree, gold is a total pain in the behind to paint, but the Gryphonne sepia-washing often ties it together to give it a smoother finish and some nice depth to the colour. /end of OT.

Captain Semper Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 In the nick of time!!! THE WORST BASING EVER!!! But I declare the miniature finished :blink: Challenge met! ** does the deamon dance** http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/ackool/IMG_0002.jpg http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/ackool/IMG_0003.jpg http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/ackool/IMG_0004.jpg http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/ackool/IMG_0005.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242470-inspirational-friday-11252011/page/4/#findComment-2935883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks Menkeroth! If I knew the amount of work I had this week I probably would not have taken the challenge in the first place! As it turns out the base was done in a hurry between 07:15 -07:20 this morning and it shows! Oh well...

evolved23 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Okay heres the word bearer champion. I actually managed to get 2 others base coated. Unfortunately this was the only photo that survived my purge of low quality pics. I will endeavour to improve upon this. It is also unfortunate that I was unable to base my model due to constraints within the paint region. Yeah I'll be using 2 for these guys. Base of liche purple with splashes of tentacle pink. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g154/Evolved23HALO_photos/PC010637.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242470-inspirational-friday-11252011/page/4/#findComment-2935933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eripu Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I was an abject failure at this challenge ;) Week-before-finals crunch hit me hard, and pulling an all-nighter Thursday->Friday didn't help anything. I got through assembly, priming, and a basecoat (all this was done by the end of the day Sunday), and then didn't have time to pick up a paintbrush again.

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I was actually finished, but for some reason my phone will not share files with my computer, like it did last friday B) I did manage to use him in a game however, I think he killed 3-4 Wyches and a Daemonette in the two games I used him. Not my most effective marine, but he mostly did his job B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242470-inspirational-friday-11252011/page/4/#findComment-2936609 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castiel Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 My model just needed based and washed, but there was a (very) unexpected event this week which prevented me from having time to finish it for the challenge. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242470-inspirational-friday-11252011/page/4/#findComment-2937701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
