Marshal van Trapp Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 recently i undertook re-painting and simply adding to my BT crusade, without further ado, here are the pics: firstly my new EC (the last had an unfortunate accident with his sword snapping in half :/) : http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1511.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1509.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1508.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1510.jpg next up is my WIP chaplain: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1512.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1513.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1514.jpg here is the pack i'm thinking of giving him (so he can count as having a jump pack or not): http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1515.jpg and finally the apothecary: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1516.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1517.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1518.jpg The rest of the crusade is in pieces on my workbench waiting to be reassembled after their bath in stripping agent and i'm obviously still working on the chaplain, not sure whether i want to give him a custom helm or just have him go bare... what do you guys think i should do?

Marshal van Trapp Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 well i've finally begun painting them and i'm off to a good start the process i'm using is as follows: 1) Black basecoat 2) drybrush with eshin grey (citadel layer) 3) paint weapons with boltgun metal (citadel colour) 4) ink weapons with watered down badab black (citadel wash) 5) paint shoulder guards with granite grey (reaper pro paint) 6) layer shoulder guards with watered down skull white (citadel colour) 7) paint eye and weapon lenses with red gore (citadel colour) and without futher ado, the test mini(s): http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1522.jpg and a side shot: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1523.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1524.jpg both tests: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1526.jpg here is a side by side comparison of first and second steps (just black on left, eshin grey drybrush on right) to show the depth of the black recipe: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/Comm_Nagrom/DSCN1525.jpg C&C are welcome and appreciated!

Lucien Eilam Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think the litanies would look better if they were smaller and more localized. Covering so much of the model, I thought it was some sort of camo at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedMoon Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 have to agree it just looks like tiger stripes to me. they need to be MUCH thinner. good idea just need to rethink the application a bit lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal van Trapp Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 unfortunately i painted them with the absolute smallest brush i have/could find (its a 10/0) and it came out as either too thick or not at all, so i'm kinda hard pressed to find an alternative :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I really like the idea. His armour entirely covered in litanies of faith and other script, becoming the embodiment of crazy Black Templar dedication to kicking butt and being holy. Have you tried watering out your paint, reeeaaally thin, until it's about the consistency of milk, and then painting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
