BoogeyMan^ Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thanks, guys, I really appreciate your feedback. Today I've basecoated the Rhino for those guys. Hopefully, 1-2 weeks and it'll be ready to roll :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedInventor Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 That librarian is awesome! I love that purple you used, how did you get that rich tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_ Logan Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Wow the colours on that librarian are so rich, some lovely work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogeyMan^ Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 That librarian is awesome! I love that purple you used, how did you get that rich tone? Thanks. All paints are Vallejo. For purples I used VMC Royal Purple as the base, gentle wash of VGC Violet ink, then highlighted by adding VMC Magenta (this color is the reason of richness, I guess) + White to tone pinkness down a bit (Purple:Magenta:White 1:1:1, then Magenta:White 1:1). For blue armour - base was the mix of Black, Royal Purple and VGC Magic Blue (roughly 1:1:1). I can hardly name the achieved colour, basically dark turquisy-purplish grey, then Violet ink in the recesses. Highlights were done with the mix of Purple and Blue (1:1), then (1:3), glaze of pure Magic Blue, edges with VGC Electric Blue. Dropper bottles are great for mixing colours, but I'm still using the brush to grab and mix the paint on the pallete, so proportions are not very accurate. Hope this helps ;) Colonel_ Logan Thanks, glad you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstra Sumus Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Very nice. I'm attempting the Yellow and Black myself and it's proving to be a bitch but I won't give up on it. What's the easiest way you've found to do it (highlights and all)? If you don't mind me asking that is. BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogeyMan^ Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Thanks :o I'm attempting the Yellow and Black myself and it's proving to be a bitch but I won't give up on it. What's the easiest way you've found to do it (highlights and all)? I mostly use Vallejo paints (Model Color line), but I've got few foundation ones from GW. My recipe is: grey primer, black one makes it very hard to paint yellow. for yellow - GW Iyanden Darksun base, some sort of Sepia wash, Darksun: Deep Yellow 1:1 mix base re-apply leaving the recesses, then pure Deep Yellow as extreme highlights (in some cases it's good to add a little of bone/white); for black - Black:German Grey 1:1 mix base (very dark grey colour, it's looks black but it's not) , Dark Seagreen 1st highlight, Medium Sea Grey 2nd highlight, pure White on most exposed parts (little lines or even dots). I try paint yellow base first, basically just loading brush with Darksun (diluted with a water just a little) and applying it not thinking about accuracy. Same with the wash, then I try to be as accurate as possible when painting black/other colours ;) I think it could be even easier with some sort of yellow colored primer or by using an airbrush, but unfortunately I don't have access to any. Hope this somehow helps, feel free to ask anything you're interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Cheers fella, The couple of recipes I've got seem to be very similar. Time for me rage as I figure out the highlighting process. BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Such a cool Chapter; they are one of my favourites, and you are really doing them justice. Nice shade of yellow you got going on ^_^ Good luck with the LPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Wow awesome yellow and your highlights are really crisp. I particularly like the librarian, and looking forward to your ambitious LPC vow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogeyMan^ Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Thanks for the support, brothers :tu: Small update, not part of the LPC, though: http://s9.postimage.org/542zke7sf/speeder.jpg It is almost ready, highlighting needs to be done and I'll glue some purity seals here and there.

batu Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Your Scythes of the Emperor are some of the best I ever saw ! Fantastic work ! Cool idea to put a techmarine into a Landspeeder. Im looking forward to see more updates ^_^ Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogeyMan^ Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks for kind words :D I've primed two test bikes and stumbled upon question - what parts of bike will be better to paint yellow? I'm thinking about center bolter and above-engine piece, but it will be nice to hear your opinions, brothers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 That would be my thought as well. Leave the two wheel covers black and paint the center block (including the bolter/handbars) yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoogeyMan^ Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Made quick photoshoping: http://s9.postimage.org/4z3vc8mzz/bike.jpg (thanks to this dude for bike pic I've googled) With bright purity seals and brown pouches here and there it should look fine, I guess :tu: As for bolters, all weapons im my army have black casings, so I'll leave them black as well.
