tyrannosaurus Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 This is what I spent my half term working on - some raptors [in a squad of 6 of course]. Went for a different scheme on each, either halved or quartered. The one with a sonic weapon is a counts as melta gunner, too tight to shell out for the real one. He was attacked by my kitty which is why his gun and skull medallion are a bit battered. Let me know what you think :pinch: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247872-emperors-children-raptors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Loe the split scheme, man. That looks sharp. I would suggest a watered down wash of Baal Wash on some of the pink areas though, just to highlight the raised areas a bit more. Other than that, very nice bro!

Grimdarkness Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 They look great are they the fine cast and if they are how where they? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247872-emperors-children-raptors/#findComment-3002143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Love 'em! The colour scheme is great and I really like your highlighting, not overdone. Really nice.

Firepower Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Gah! My eyes! :lol: Well, I suppose that means it's a good scheme for Slaanesh ;) I agree that a simple wash of Baal Red or Leviathan Purple would be a good idea for the pink spots, to add a proper bit of depth. That's mostly for the basic Raptors though, the lord seems better off in that department than them. Nice work :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247872-emperors-children-raptors/#findComment-3002315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goreshed Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 While I agree that a red or purple wash would look good might I suggest a light coat of a much darker color wash? Perhaps a black or a really deep red before you do a lighter wash or even a dry brush of a red? Would add an additional snap to those colors and some definition. I really like the quartered scheme, different but still very much within the realm of the great pleasure god.

tyrannosaurus Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks for all the really nice comments everyone - was happy with how they came out, especially the AC with the wings - tried a blue wash on the wings which I thought had ruined them completely but came out OK in the end - the pics showed up some bits I need to clean up on a few of the models, will sort those out at some point. These are metal raptors, luckily I got all my models before finecast came out - they do have a really annoying habit of falling over though. I've tried a few different colour washes - red, purple and blue but they're all too much of a contrast with the pink - might try making up a 'hot pink' custom wash for the recesses. Thanks for the advice though. 4 oblits, a rhino and 2 DPs away from a fully painted 1750 point army, then gonna get busy on all my ebayed old school noise marines :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247872-emperors-children-raptors/#findComment-3002922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Love the pink, there agai I like any pink army! B) I really like the lightness of the pink, I normally go for a darker pink/light purple. I agree that the depth is lost in the model an I assume the idea of a wash will help. I normally work on the idea ofmaking my opponents eyes bleed will give me a win by default. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247872-emperors-children-raptors/#findComment-3002937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
