AlanofAngels Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hey guys! I havn't posted in a while but I have been meaning to start a new army for some time ;) I've always enjoyed Blood Angels so I figured I'de go that route but do a successor chapter to em'. Flesh Tearers tickled my fancy so to say These are the 2 test models for the army/scheme. Lemmee know what ya'll think. I might enter this army into Armies on Parade this year since Gamesday is in Chicago again... Anywho the pics: Marine #1 And #2... I decided to rock the GW FT shoulder pads, to make my life a bit easier I know fluff enforcers will notice I put the squad number on the right shoulder but I thought it better than the company number, because what marine doesnt know what company he's in, right? Also there were enough white blood drops floating around to give you the idea of company designation. Anyways, C&C greatly appreciated! EDIT: I should also have mentioned the red on their armour looks quite washed out in these pictures; in real life it is not. It is simply red gore for those of you that can picture that deeper red instead of this watercolory crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Lovely man, nice clean style which is more to my taste, a refreshing change from dark gritty battle damaged Flesh Tearers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakiq Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I love the deep red you've achieved. :D What did you use to highlight the red gore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanofAngels Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Wow, thanks guys! I suspect I am going to keep the scheme as is ^_^ as for the red recipe, it is pretty easy. I prime the model white follwed by a couple thin coats of mechrite red followed by another couple thin coats of red gore; it makes the red gore a bit darker than going straight over white. The shading is done by wahing badab black into the recesses (only the recesses because it would be a pain to clean up black on red it I doused in the model in it). The highlights are a bit of a pain simply for the fact that the 2 highlights I used are mixed. Annnnd I mixed them at no particular ratio, just until I thought they looked right :huh: But in general I would expect the first, broader highlight is about a 2:1 mix of scab red to bleached bone; should look quite a bit like a fleshy color and in retrospect I probably should have looked for a GW-esq color highlight like dwarven flesh or somesuch. Anywho the second thin, on the upper portions highlight is about 2:1 mix of blood red to bleached bone; when its mixed it should look reallll peachy (for lack of a better visual :)). Hope that helps someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Just a nitpick: I'd select a different color for yoyur purity seal wax. Right now it's the same exact shade as the armor. A bright green would look nice, I suspect. Or a grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Cheers for the recipe mate :) I'm actually tempted to try it out... Hm... Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanofAngels Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thanks guys! @Brother-Captain Sharp: Yeah I noticed in the pictures they look identical, but in real life the wax is a bright purple and the armour is red gore. They are much more different lookin at em' in person B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Very soft style and very well painted. A force painted like this would look stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanofAngels Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Thanks Brother Syth! Yep that's my goal! Maybe for once I'll manage to get it done ha! I have faith in this project though; Blood Angels and the like have always had a place dear and near to my heart :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetfireUK Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 That's a lovely red on the model. I like the pose too. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbringer Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Looks great i'm currently trying to get my highlights for blood red as subtle but obvious as yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfinger Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 While I think the paint quality is great in cleanliness and application, I am not thrilled by the color, it is a bit to "magenta" I think for Flesh Tearers, Vallejo produces a great color called Black Red, it is a great hue and one that I think is a little closer to the Flesh Tearer color.

DarkMark Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Really nice, glad you didn't go mad with the weathering! The only problem I can spot is the torsos aren't on quite right: they're unnatural. Be mindful of that on your next batch, and you're golden, or even dark red ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Lovely lovely stuff. Looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanofAngels Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks guys! I think I will keep posting my finished models to this thread :huh: @Redfinger: Thanks man, yeah I know about the color. In my defense, the color is a much deeper red in person; less magenta-y. The base color is actually red gore. @Darkmark: Thanks! I see what you mean about the torsos looking a bit strange because of how much they are turned on the legs, but I think it is necessary to get a more animated pose; I think the main problem is the belt since it's turned, and people dont pivot on their belt, it's more in the abs.
