batu Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Awesome work ! Can you give us an overview on which weathering technics you have used and how ? That would be very nice ;) Im especially interrested in the rust effects /brownish stuff. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks mate. I basically used all the weathering techniques in the FW masterclass modeling book. Once I have the base colours and freehand down, I added the chipping with pure astornomicon grey. once that was dry i went back over with chardon granite. I then sprayed the model with gloss varnish. Washed it with black oil paint thinned with white spirits, wiping the excess off in a downward direction, waited a couple of hours for it to dry, then did the same with an umber. The orangey brown streaks were FW pigments, rust, and light rust, done in the same way just more selectively, its a very organic process, you just keep adding more til it looks right. What looks right in a 40k context is completely different to a contempory modelling project. Finally I waited 24 hours for it to dry, before sealing it with dullcote. Hope that helps.

Talthus Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 That dreadnought is truly a work of art. When can we expect painted ablative wounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Probably a good idea, it'd keep the consistency of the basing with the other dread too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'd say IF. I think a White Scar would spit at the Contemptor! haha If you're going down the IF route (and White Scars sadly don't like dreadnoughts :) ), then go with one of Sigismund's followers.

sheep Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Cheers Gents ;) The pics of UK games day have gotten my creative juices bubbling. As usual FW have blown the mainstream GW releases out of the water, and the PH/HH marines are amazing. using this motivation, I managed for finish the first 5 infantry figures for the Sons. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/IMG_0923_zps173870e5.jpg As you can see I am continuing with the battle warn beaten to hell look of the marines,and persevering with the sea green scheme because I think the official FW scheme looks like :cuss. FW have also changed the eye of horus they are using, these guys sport the updated one, and the original contemptor will be the odd one out with the old style. I am considering whether or not to pick up some of the decal, or continue with the freehanding of the symbols. Each of the marines also has a chaos star of some type free handed onto their armour somewhere, though most of them got so battle damaged its hard to make them out. It was my first attempt at using the airbrush to do this style of power weapon, and I must say I really like the effect. I would have preferred a purple, but I didn't have the right colours, and impatience won out. Next is assembling the rest of the squad, and deciding what out of all the awesome FW goodies I want next! I will begin accepting donations to the "Buy Aaron resin crack" fund immediately ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Really love the grittiness of these guys. It really conveys the brutality of the Heresy, and the poses are really nice as well. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
