Brother Sgt. Steine Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Painted this squad of 8 back in early 2010, shortly after the release of the new LOTD models sculpted by Juan Diaz! I have the second squad (the eight other models) in blister packs awaiting assembly and paint. Including the Sgt. alternative with power sword. Anyway, here's my LOTD squad #1. http://www.reapermini.com/forum/uploads/monthly_03_2010/post-43-12698216904305_thumb.jpg http://www.reapermini.com/forum/uploads/monthly_03_2010/post-43-12698217090233_thumb.jpg http://www.reapermini.com/forum/uploads/monthly_03_2010/post-43-12698217448366_thumb.jpg http://www.reapermini.com/forum/uploads/monthly_03_2010/post-43-12698217599705_thumb.jpg http://www.reapermini.com/forum/uploads/monthly_03_2010/post-43-12698217220106.jpg EXURO HOSTES HOSTIUM!

Kierdale Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Very nice work! Lovely blending on the flames, and a beautiful crisp white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridia Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 That white makes a brilliant change from the usual bone and black colour, and like Kierdale said it's excellently crisp. Would you mind telling us how you managed that? I've tried pure white before and it's always not quite right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 look great a washed bone would look better imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Saturnus Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Great job! Gotta agree with Gridarkness though. If it were me, I'd have washed bone inplace of the white. That being said, its a great departure from the norm. Very well painted to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Sgt. Steine Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thank you Brothers. @ Grimdarkness-I agree the bleach bone might have looked a bit cooler, but I was really going for a specific look with these guys. I wanted to whites to really contrast against the black armor and flames. @ImperatosGaladii- First and foremost, I really use thin layers of paint. I learned early on to thin my paints. I added about 2-3 three thin layers of Fortress Grey mixed with Skull white to the skull and bone areas, then 2 layers of straight skull white, then a final layer of Titanium white (picked up a big tube from my local art store).

luckymutt Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Fabulous! I agree the white really pops out. I've got 21 LotD that I haven't even started because I'm not good enough to do them justice yet. These are great, thanks for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
