Maxamato Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi All! I have finished today my 2k point army! :) It is a successor Blood Angels army named Soul Keeper. I have decide to do a successor chapter because I want to try out new things (painting scheme and fluff wise). And I already own an original Chapter army, Dark Angels. The chapter fluff is under preparation actual. I hope I will finish it asap. I hope you like it and enjoy. As always, feedback is welcome! Here we go: HQ: Two Librarians and one Priest Honour Guard Elite: 2 Furioso Librarian Dreads (This two Dreads was a commission work) Troops: Squad No 2 Squad No 3 Transport for the two squads Assault squad with JP Assault: One FlamerBaal and one DakkaBaal HS: Two AC/LC Preds Group Pics: and Regards Maxamato Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesI Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Very nice stuff, well done. My favorite is the Champion in the Honor Guard, just love the pose on him.

I am Legion Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Definetly have to say that you did a great job on the purple. Very nice, mean looking army, but only one thing is bugging me...give the books and cloth on the dreadnaughs some depth by adding gryphonne sepia or something too it. the pages are just too bleached right now. Otherwise awesome! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/#findComment-2965528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxamato Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm very glad that you guys like the paint job! That makes me very happy! :jaw: Only nit pick is your weapons need drilling out ;) apart from that you have an amazing army Yeah, but I don't have the right tools for that. I love purple, but it always seems weird in Space Marine armies... But yours are magnificent! The colour is soooo smooth! Whats your recipe if you dont mind me asking? Im making my necrons purple and itd help greatly! Well, the painting of the purple was very easy. I have used following colours: Base colour: Hormagaunt purple Shade: two times washed with Leviathan Purple Main colour: Again Hormagaunt Purple thinned out with water Highlight: A 50:50 mix Hormagaunt Purple and Bleached bone And finally sprayed with the Anti-shine spray from Armypainter. That's it. :) Hope it helps. My favorite is the Champion in the Honor Guard, just love the pose on him. The Champ is also my favourite. Love them too! ;) Very nice, mean looking army, but only one thing is bugging me...give the books and cloth on the dreadnaughs some depth by adding gryphonne sepia or something too it. the pages are just too bleached right now. Hmm, well I feel the reason is that the pics a bit overexposed. In real it looks fine as it is. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/#findComment-2965669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vharing Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Do you have any WIPs about how you made the razorback turrets. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/#findComment-2965747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Exceptional work! Your paint is very crisp and your highlight lines are superb. I'm gonna have to add one more request to the pile and ask how you did your flesh tones. They're almost hyper-realistic, IMHO, especially the libbies.

Taranis Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Very impressive painting. The look fantastic. If they were mine they would live in a glass display stand. (I really need to learn to paint better, but its not every month I touch my brushes) :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/#findComment-2966157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Devil Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Great looking army! If I stop painting red and go back to purple I'm blaming you. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/#findComment-2966194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxamato Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks guys for the nice feedback. Makes me ´very happy that you like the staff! Do you have any WIPs about how you made the razorback turrets. Unfortunately not but I can tell you briefly how I have done it. Required bits: - Heavy Bolter from the Razorback spure - two Plasmaguns - a Lascannon from the IG Heavy Weapon team - Green Stuff At first I have cut the front form the HB's. After that I have cut the front from the PG's. Then I have cleaned the two parts with an rasp. I have cut the front from the LC. Then I have glued the two HB's body. After try out of the clou I have used GS to fill out the gap between the HB Body and fixed the LC with GS. Then you have to wait that the GS is relatively tried out. At least I have glued the PG's front on the HB body. I hope it is helpful and understandable. ;) I'm gonna have to add one more request to the pile and ask how you did your flesh tones. They're almost hyper-realistic, IMHO, especially the libbies. Ok. I do it in different ways but the following steps I do always. I will write in brackets an example color I have used for the Champion face. 1 Base coat (Tallaran flesh) 2 Shade (one layer of Ogryn Flesh wash) 3 First layer: but do not paint the deepest areas ( a 50:50 Mix Tallaran Flesh and Dwarf Flesh) 4 Second Layer: let the paint from step 3 visible (thinned out Dwarf Flesh) 5 First Highlight; only painting the higher areas of the face( a 50:50 mix Dwarf Flesh and Bleached Bone) 6 Second Highlight: paint here only the highest ares like the tip of the nose (thinned out Bleached Bone) 7 Details: i.e. lip (include into the mix of step 5 a bit Red Gore) That's it. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/#findComment-2966210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrionus1 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Love them! as others have said the color and highlighting is very neat and crisp! One question though, have you left the eyes without Irises on purpose? If so they look cool as is. Just wondering =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/#findComment-2966569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drachnon Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Awesome painting never thought purple would look that good on a Blood Angel armour but apparently you make it work. So what's the background on these guys? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/#findComment-2968346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tancrede Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Nice minis, with an interesting color scheme and a clean painting. I'm not sold on the bases (green grass is not a really good idea, I thinks), but it's a matter of personnal taste. Good luck on the battlefield, brother !

Maxamato Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks guys for your nicely response! I'm glad that you like my staff. :jaw: So what's the background on these guys? Well, the background isn't finished yet. But the idea (try do sketch it) so far is: - is a non Codex Astartes chapter - organised in Brootherhoods - fleet based - Veterans wear black helmets to show there status - this chapter doesn't like a pompous appearance, they prefer a smooth ones - task is to protect “the souls of the poor men” for degeneration - Librarians do note every lost and saved soul and check the purity of these (via telepathy) - One symbol is the winged tear drop. These symbol stands for: They will cry for every soul which is doomed and couldn’t be rescued - to show the “Soul Theme” the chapter colours are: Purple (Main colour) and Black coloured shoulder pads (inside) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245170-soul-keepers-mini-pic-update/#findComment-2968418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
