Rune Priest Ridcully Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well here are some work in progress shots of Captain, er Preator Jethro Ubaid of the Salamanders legion thirteenth company As you can see he has a far way to come yet, mainly tubing/wiring, that cloak and at least on other coat of warpstone glow before I can even think about high/lowlights and ect, but he is getting there at least. Not sure what to do with the cloak, I am certainly going for pure white on outer side, but not sure on the lining, should it be different? If so i was thinking either purple (to match his company colour) or a sky/electric blue. I'm aiming for an obsidian/stone effect on all the black painted bits, so was thinking possibly dry brush/very thin layer of dark blue mixed with purple and black, then with a dry brush of one of those to finish that, I'm thinking the orange gems/round bits could be an eye of terra, as that still seems to have been in use by the loyalists.

MordentHex Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Very nice Model but you need to be painting that gold detailing with a smaller brush size bro. Looks like you took a #2 brush to it.(sarcasm) I know everyone can't paint to golden Demon standards (self included) but if you have not done that already do so. A few 1,0,00,000 brush's are not hard to find or expensive. ( I use cheap cheap brushes) If you have shaky hands when painting ,eat something, or if already ate, find something you like to drink. It works for me when my hands are not steady. Colors look good but it looks like your applying the paint to thick in some areas. Maybe its just the picture. Constructive criticism over. Over all still looking better than most of the peoples armies ive seen playing 40..er 30k!

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thats the brush I used, must admit I will go and get some orange juice, and I have no idea what is causing the thickness differences, I thin my paints and I do make to mix them so all of it should be thinned, hmmm. And I'm still not sure on the cloak lining color.

MordentHex Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 O crap, that brush IS to big for fine detail work. looks like a 1 or a 2. should try and invest in some a little smaller. Doesn't have to be GW brush's or another expensive brand. Something simple and cheap from an arts and crafts shop. Failing that..Walmarts. :P I usually use a brush that size for painting my bases. Cheers! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254659-a-tale-of-20-gamers-a-galaxy-asunder/page/27/#findComment-3222181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 That is embarresing :P Will have a look around, but can't remember seeing any smaller brushes in the cheap shops and all the smaller ones were about £5, which for a very thin brush, which sets off the same alarms bells as does more then half of GW new chaos releases :D. Will look for a smaller brush (it is a bit puffed up from water in the pic, but still, painting bases must take ages for you.)

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Actually, thats going to be a Son of Horus. haha! sorry to ruin your little dream there. The runes on that Mk 6 helmet + the topknot felt right for a veteran to get squashed. Ok :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254659-a-tale-of-20-gamers-a-galaxy-asunder/page/27/#findComment-3222293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MordentHex Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The Last moments of Praetor Vulpin Edit: Updated with a better picture with several viewpoints. Ive been playing in Photoshop. http://cdn1.share.slickpic.com/u/StephenHarris/_201208051458/org/EC_Dreadnought/web.jpg Ancient Phorris: "The Healing Hand" I painted his helm White to represent him as an Apothecary before his internment as a Dreadnought. Although he isn't so much a healer anymore, Titles I assume do stick from before a marine becomes a dreadnought. biggrin.gif Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254659-a-tale-of-20-gamers-a-galaxy-asunder/page/27/#findComment-3226254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the damned artificer Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Been really sidetracked with work lately, been having some problem with a FW thunderhawk... Word of advice, spend your £400 on something else from FW as I have now discovered that I'll never buy one from FW for myself, it's NOT worth the money. So buy a titan instead :P  Anyway enough ranting, here's some progress on Dorn: http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/DSC04334copy.jpg  And I have also been sidetracked by another primarch.... http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Random/DSC04552.jpg  :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254659-a-tale-of-20-gamers-a-galaxy-asunder/page/27/#findComment-3226569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsam Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hi there everyone, I'm going to have to pull out since I want to change the Legion I want to work on. If anyone wants to do Word Bearers then fill free to step up, I for one want to do Night Lords at my own pace. NOOOOOO!!!! Grey armour, go with the grey armour!!! Why doesn't anyone paint the Word Bearers in their best scheme?!? Do you still have this slot? Just started a blog for Word Bearers in Grey...! Any objections?

MordentHex Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Iron man has been known to beat on Demigods.. Maybe Angron Watched the avengers and decided to make a break for it...

the damned artificer Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hehehe and seeing as it turns out Tony Stark is ten times taller than Angron (I guess people got smaller after all the nuclear waste and wars) I think it's wise to flee ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254659-a-tale-of-20-gamers-a-galaxy-asunder/page/27/#findComment-3227398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Done some more work on the captain/preator which I will post later, but for now: Needs a slight touch up with the green round the edges, but it is certainly better then my previous ettempts, and the first I don't want to just cover up with green :).

Death Guard Trooper Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Death Guard Trooper, Post 4 - 2nd Squad Start Sorry for my delay had alot of other things going on outside of this.The 20 Assault troops will have to wait. Im charging forward with ones that arent giving me problems. Here is the start to another Tac squad. Should be able to crank them out completed before the end of next week. Im just waiting for the new Icons to come in that I ordered. Which means ill have to redo alot of my troops with the new Legion Badge. Awesome. http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc381/Death_Guard_Trooper/Death%20Guard/DSCN0240.jpghttp://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc381/Death_Guard_Trooper/Death%20Guard/DSCN0238.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254659-a-tale-of-20-gamers-a-galaxy-asunder/page/27/#findComment-3234096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogsam Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Word Bearers First 5 man squad. Here's my first update. Unfortunately grey highlights on grey armour look pretty much rubbish in low energy bulb light. I'm impressed by just how tall these guys are. Much taller tahn space marines normally are.http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/IMG_20121114_193607-1.jpgSecondly the contemptor.http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/IMG_20121024_2135101.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254659-a-tale-of-20-gamers-a-galaxy-asunder/page/27/#findComment-3238251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the damned artificer Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 A small update to show that I'm still in the game :wub:  This is on my table atm. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF1411124.jpg  Firstly a HQ choice, Sigismund and his personal command squad, meant to resemble the earliest formation of his elite Templars which are refered to in First Heretic I also choose to make myself a new TC01 since the other one moved to the UK to stay with the real TC01, and his replacement will be named Battle Brother Hassan (TC01 is named Mr. Hassan irl). The squad also carries the personal banner of Sigismund. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF1411125.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF1411126.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF1411127.jpg  A couple of heavy support choices, the rapiers are missing their barrels as I intend to magnetize them and make more options. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF1411129.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF14111210.jpg  A couple ofHQ choices, a libby and a chappy :P http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF14111211.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF14111212.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF14111213.jpg  Lastly there's a couple of Deimos rhinos, lovely models they are. I've added some more detail and changed the interior to remove the bolter. I also fixed the problem of the notorious loose top doors... Hinges seems to do the trick :P http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF1411128.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF14111215.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF14111214.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF1411121.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF1411123.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Pre-heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/IF1411122.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254659-a-tale-of-20-gamers-a-galaxy-asunder/page/27/#findComment-3238300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
