Dusktiger Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Dusktiger, Submission #3 - Red Scorpions - Siege Dreadnought this is my idea of a fast table-quality build; done in 8 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 If you spend another fifteen minutes with a wash and a drybrush, it'll really help break up the solid color and add to the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Biohazard, Post 3 - WIP Star Phantoms Worked on a test white earlier. The paint started to dry out a little so looks a little rough in spots but overall Im pretty happy with it. :)http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Star%20Phantoms%20and%20Scythes%20of%20the%20Empero/c3d0873d.jpghttp://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Star%20Phantoms%20and%20Scythes%20of%20the%20Empero/f3143232.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MordentHex Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If not to late i would like to join in this, I would be interested in poping out afew Marines Errant for the cause. I have some extra forge world goodies laying around doing nothing at the moment. Would give me a nice change of pace from painting other things. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that with the new paints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah hes screwed lol. This guy was done over a black primer, rakarth flesh base, 50/50 rakarth/skull white then a wash of asurmen blue then a 60/40 white/flesh mix then pretty much pure skull white. I got the recipe form 1000heathens over on the 17 gamers thread. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the recipe form 1000heathens over on the 17 gamers thread. -_- You might want to consider a different approach. I used desert yellow (army primer) and then after that was dry I sprayed skull white over the top but did not use as a heavy a covering so that the covered (and so shaded sections) retained a darker colour. I then washed with Gryphonne Sepia (I think) and then drybrushed with bleached bone and then highlight with skull white to get the following effect: Obviously you might want to add white to the bleached bone before highlighting to get a whiter tone but thought I would add this is as it really is a very lazy process and doesn't look too bad when finished.

Biohazard Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 That does seem a lot less work than what Im doing lol. I already have 4 out of my 5 man pledge at the wash stage though dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohazard Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Mordenthex,Mr Malevolent. I would just start building guys, I think Emprors Immortal has limited internet access at the moment but the first post says its pretty casual as long as you sign up and finish at least a 5 man unit by the end of the month. If Im talking out of turn here guys just let me know and i will tuck tail. :jaw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If Im talking out of turn here guys just let me know and i will tuck tail. ;) Yes pipe down you, :P Since Emperors Immortals has clearly met with an unfortunate accident, brutally cutting off his head whilst shaving no doubt. I hereby decree that I have now taken over. Mwaa haa haa. On a less serious note, Biohazard has got the right idea, it's all fairly laid back in here, the more the merrier. How else did Robin Hoods men become merry (if it wasn't alcohol related). So just post away as and when you like. As long as you complete a unit of some description each month there will be no more accidents. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I would just start building guys. That was exactly my plan haha. But seriously thanks for letting me know about this, I really need the push to get a full army painted. I should have a full Assault squad together tonight and hopefully get some pics taken if I'm lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MordentHex Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well..ok then. I wasn't thinking to far ahead. But im rather sure i could pump out a 5 man squad by the end of this month easy enough and another next month for sure. After that, Summer holidays makes paint time a little fuzzy at best. Hopefully post up some goodies soon enough. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 P.S. Where've you been brother? Oh you know, went to Adepticon, came back, and took some time "off" from the hobby. I was kind of power armored out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MordentHex Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ok so first 5 marines WIP. It feels nice to paint something not red or black again. :) Pre painting: Group shot http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll126/Angron20/IMG_4326.jpg Brother Idimus reloading http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll126/Angron20/Untitled-4.jpg Bother Fel with Tracker and Brothers Malicite and Demus Flamer Expert http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll126/Angron20/IMG_4330-1.jpghttp://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll126/Angron20/IMG_4329-1.jpg V. Serg. Tenatis http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll126/Angron20/IMG_4328-1.jpg Im using Metallic for the Blue. So far im happy with the results, I may highlight alittle more to bring it out. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll126/Angron20/IMG_4336.jpghttp://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll126/Angron20/IMG_4337.jpg After I finish these I think i will make a Captain Anton Narvaez which the rules for are great considering his low points cost.

Biohazard Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Mr Malevolent, the Assault Squad is looking good so far. Look forward to paint. :) Mordenthex, I like the metallic blue you have going. How did you achieve that? Biohazard, Post 4 - WIP Star Phantoms Paint in progress, Ill hopefully get a chance to finishe these off today. I may change the yellow chest eagle to more of a bone colour though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MordentHex Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Below are 3 different Metallics that i use a lot on my models. First is Bronze second Gold and then Silver. I do not know if you can find these at a local art store but feel free to try. The silver is not like GW silver It can freely mix with any basic color i have tried so far and turn it from normal lets say "blood red" to Metallic blood red. In this way I can make pretty much any metallic color i want as long as i have A: the base color and B: mix in my silver. The ratio I normally try to use is 50:50 If you wish to make the color alittle lighter you can even add a spot of white to the color to lighten it with out any negative effects. I love this stuff. The only down side is that by itself it is a rather weak pigment. I think it is only made of pure silver dust, no pigment added. Requires more than 2 coats at least if used alone and have a much longer drying time than GW and Vallejo. They are very thick and require diluting or risk gobbing up your fine detail. The colors are much brighter and reflective though. Also i got these in china, i really don't know if they are available in other countries. They probably have lead in them........... :D Marines Errant Metallic Blue: 1.base coat Mordian blue. 2 Black wash. 3 Large highlight Mordian blue/Silver 50:50, 4 Blue wash, 5 Highlight top Surface area's Enchanted Blue/Silver 50:50 I currently have no idea what color to use to really make these guys bling, The black bolters is just not cutting it and i do not want red bolters. Maybe i will give them yellow stripes or something. Any idea's would be welcomed. If you can find em get em and try it, they should be dirt cheap. I think i only paid roughly 3$ US each.

matchbox Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 @ MordentHex, really liking the metallic blue against the white, certainly gives them a bit more texture than usual. @ Biohazard, keep the eagles yellow, gives a bit more colour against the white rather than having white and off white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redscorps Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Can I join the thread? I'll post my next things in here instead of the looking for RS players thread, makes a bit more sense. If so I just finished this conversion and paint job the other day: Redscorps - Contribution 1 - Red Scorpions Praetorian That can be my contribution for the minute, I am working on a Tac squad (5), Speeder and Attack Bike at the moment and should have them ready to go soon as well. PJ with the Astral Claws, we should battle, you have red dirt on your guys as well so it would look mint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
