Dude with a Brush Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I have been painting for awhile now and finally pretty much finished my test mini. There are still few things to change and add like rust, blood effects and battle damage but you can get the general feel at this stage hopefully. Suggestion on pustules are needed, and ofcourse advices are more than welcome! http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p490/andeth1/76Front.jpg Also check out my new blog for more info :) dudewithabrush.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Taint Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 He looks great, I particularly love the rust tone you've achieved. Personally, I think the white looks a bit too clean. I mean, he's rotted to that stage and still got that nice, pre-Heresy DG white ... I'd suggest to dirt it down, but then that's a matter of taste. I'm looking forward to see more. Cheers, JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude with a Brush Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I tried using sponge to apply chipped paint, got carried away on test mini but got it right on sarge. Also added some dirty/rust water dripping here and there that in my opinion breaks that clean white look nicely. http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p490/andeth1/26-6Front.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p490/andeth1/26-6Left.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darknation Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 When I painted these guys I heated up a thin needle with a ciggie lighter till it was hot enough to melt plastic & pushed it into the legs / arms. It creates a nice 'ruptured pustule' kinda thing, makes the plastics match better with the forge world parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I did this too, they just dont seem to show in these pics tho. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude with a Brush Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 My gf is awesome! Or shes just heard enough of me rambling on and on how I want to make Mortarion and shes trying to shut me up :) Well anyway she gave me Angel of Death by Scribor. Its awesome and perfect Primarch size, but there are lots of things to do until it is ready for some paint. Heres little size comparison pic. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8149/7453678006_c97f18cbe0.jpg Apparently I need to make that base wider if I ever want to use it in an actual game? I dont know I dont own rulebook nor codex ;) So hey if anyone can link me to 1500pt Nurglish armylist that contains 5-7 jumppack guys that im working on then maybe ill know what to buy next and move towards having a full army! Now Im gonna continue removing mold marks and bleed around my workstation bye :D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude with a Brush Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yea, things have been slow. Dont have any progress on painting, tried new thinner yesterday and it didnt go too well :huh: I now have Flow Aid and Matte Medium by Liquitex so if someone could give me some advice on how to use them that would be cool :D http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8293/7692842778_d427ee664b.jpg Got Dreadnought from ebay cheap, very cheap :lol: Cheaper than regular GW dread. I was 80% sure it would be some recast or something but it is perfect so im very happy now! It didnt have some parts, like claws for fist but I actually like how I managed to do them. It looks much more powerfull like this, I can imagine him ripping loyalist rhino into pieces :D http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8010/7692842266_a891c4d787.jpg I still have a Mk1 rhino coming and 5 Plague marines. Hope I get some painting done soon too :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
