UltraRich Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 As Ive been posting in the main thread of the ++E TENEBRAE LUX++ on the Ultramarines thread I thought Id better start a new one before I spam the other one. Techmarine done but for a few final highlights. Ive gone for a Borg flesh tone but Im not sure how its worked out. Ive just realised how overexposed the photo is so I'll retake this one. Contemptors done except for a few highlights, damage, weathering and the weapon needs cleaning up as there is some really rough resin around the mounting point Ive missed http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2253.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2246.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2244.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2258.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256005-ultramarines-e-tenebrae-lux/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks guys Ive almost finished the Contemptor and started prepping Siciarus and realised how bad the finecast mold was. Its at the point where Im sending it back. This kind of wreaked my vow so Ive swapped Siciarus for a stand in de-BT'd. I dont think there is any mistaking he's an Ultramarine! The one thing I am doing is cleaning up the sword and making it a generic power sword. I may have to get the airbrush out. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2262.jpg Group shot of vow http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2263.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256005-ultramarines-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3118046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The battle damage on that contemptor is amazing, how did you do it? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256005-ultramarines-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3118145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 The battle damage on that contemptor is amazing, how did you do it? Its pretty simple for the holes paint a chaos black spot then paint a lighter colour (boltgun metal with a spot of black in this case) in the middle leaving a darker "overhang" at the top. Then take a bright highlight (in this case light blue) and paint a thin line at the bottom where the light will catch. Im still new to battle damage and I think I went ott on the power fist so its really a case of trial and error Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256005-ultramarines-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3118150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yak Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 This stuff is world class. The shades of blue and red are erm.. beautiful. The Contemptor is really really good I agree that the battle damage is a great touch. Nice Ultramarine Captain. Will he be getting a back banner? I hear there pretty popular with you Ultras. Great work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256005-ultramarines-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3118165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Just a quick vow update Ive removed the BT'ness off the sword. I was going to paint it as a powersword but it just suited looking like plain metal. The only thing Im not sure about is if the hilt should be gold or black. Im not sure the gold (unfinished) sits well against the blade. Let me know what you think. Hopefully I'll get the gems, armour joints and powerpack done tomorrow and then thats my vow complete :D http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC12265.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256005-ultramarines-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3120643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalos Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 That looks great. Tbh, I think the gold looks fine. There's not much black on the model so I think if it was black it might stand out a bit too much from the rest of the model.
