Bam-AoD Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm loving the Blood splatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Looking good. Although I do feel some of the blood spatter should be a little bit darker, to represent arterial spray. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivepointedstar Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Nice Space Sharks, but what is that on your Chaplians power pack? Is that a gernade launcher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Very gory... Very nice :angry: I especially like the Contemptor - nice work all over. So what's in the pipeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyanamiKun Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Nice! Some hints about how to do the blood would be great :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Saturnus Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 It's so great to hear from so many battle brothers! Thanks for all the responses! Yeah, Death knight! It's a auxiliary grenade launcher. Im using that chaplain as Chaplain Ivanus Enkomi from Minotaurs (IA10 badab war part2) Re-fluffed for the sharks. grenade launcher improvised by mixing a scout scope, the lens of a HK missile and some little grenades on the scout sprue. hand crafted by me. I'm glad you could recognize it since it's pretty much 1 of my first handmade items, besides some of my GKs who are pretty shabby at best :P Here are some of my WIP in the works. Terminators, landspeeder storm, sniper scouts, bits for my contemptor, mortis tl heavy bolters and a razorback The rest of my tactical assault marines and a terminator. My blood is: Baal red wash and delvin mud ( I kept it from being mixed so there's two tones of color and a little mixture where they met in the gyoza sauce dish where I had them both.) applied with a large stiff brush by flicking it with my thumb I guess. Then I smear globs of it on with my finger kindergarten style! And wipe part of it off quickly to make it looks like a streak. I've heard tamiya clear red is the bees knees and I plan to get some to try. I'll put up a gore comparison once I do. Thanks for all the responses again! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Saturnus Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I.may have gone overboard... But that's ok. The visceral nature of the space sharks demands lots and lots of bluud! I find myself ending up in assault anyways with the Contemptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Excellent mini's dude, love the blood splatter!!! Like the use of all the FW piece's. They are also very well painted. Top job:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sgt. Steine Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 For all intents and purposes, this looks ready to roll Brother Saturnus... I agree though, the blood splatter looks too much like red kool-aid rather than thick grizzly vitae. I'll be curious to see what you do with the bases. Paint on, or perhaps I should say splatter on. :jaw: FOR TERRA! FOR THE EMPEROR! WE ARE THE EMEROR'S CHOSEN! Brother-Sgt. Steine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It does look better, brother. Shame you couldn't get your hands on some Tamiya clear red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Saturnus Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 A couple more pretty much done, excpet for the bases. Anyone have some ideas on the bases? I was thinking of doing snow, not sure why :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Maybe... desert sand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Saturnus Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 LOL not a bad idea. Anything would be better than what I have now :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Perhaps something like Ravendove's Sons of Orar? That's what I was thinking of when I suggested the idea. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Alright! Basing! I love basing! Since you're looking for suggestions, here's what I do for my models: hit all the sand with a coat of shadow grey, then drybrush fortress grey over that. Leave the rim of the base black for best effect. You can see what the results look like in my gallery. I love your Carcharadons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 My chirping in here is in no way meant to discredit the post above me, but I personally find that a shadowgrey basecoat ends up being a bit too blue for my tastes. If you're of equal mind I humbly suggest maybe a mix of codex and fortress grey drybrushed straight over a black undercoat. You could also make sure to vary the type of sand or gravel or tiny rocks you use to get textures, maybe spice things up with a small thatch of green flock here and there, then there's also some pricy 40k basing kits out there i think if you want additional details, but simply cannibalizing surplus bits should suffice for some variation. Awesome force btw, love the heresy look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Saturnus Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Finally have started basing my army... It's odd.. when I have the least free time I find myself drawn back to painting ~.~ Nice to be back perusing the forum after such a long hiatus. I'll be posting more soon.
