Urauloth Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 That empty maw looks AMAZING, extremely tempted to leave mine like that now. Looks terrifying.

Nintura Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I might just leave one empty and the other one with the eye. Also, nice Futhark in the sig. Here's a random update, the dark vengeance models have insane detail so I'm still learning how to paint them as well as the pics suck, either too much light or too little. Now sure how to get it right. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0774.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0776.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0777.jpg Ive since added a wash to clean it up some.

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I was kind underwhelmed by the Chaos Lord displayed by GW.

Nintura Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 yeah, its an amazing scupt, but way to much detail. I can hardly get my smallest brush in some of the spots and of course, I'm still learning to pick out the detail and make it stick out. I just wish I could figure out how GW's Eavy Metal team does their Black Legion models in the newest WD.

Hey, it looks pretty good to me, so don't beat yourself up too much ;) You are right when you say you are still learning, because even the best of us still grow in their skills and become better at their work. So enjoy the learning process now, you'll be doing it a lot more in the future :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259912-black-legion-wip/page/2/#findComment-3174448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintura Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 FINALLY! I found a way to paint gold that I'm happy with. I was always afraid that due to the flat black nature of the armor, I didn't want the gold to be too brilliant and stick out. So here's my newest work (still working on all the others, just moving from one project to another as a break) Put different lights on this so you can see it under different shades. Now....to highlight the gold trim and that part should be done. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0798.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0797.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0794.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0793.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0792.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0790.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0789.jpg Oh by the way.... the detail on the DV models are so small, I have to paint the model with a 40-0 brush pretty much.... This is going to take awhile. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259912-black-legion-wip/page/2/#findComment-3175437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Gold looks good. On your way to a nice BL army there! What's your gold formula?

Nintura Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Black Primer Charcoal Grey Base Fortress Grey Drybrush Nuln Oil Wash-non diluted Vallejo Old Gold (model not game) Sepia Wash (non-diluted) Nuln Oil Wash (non-diluted) Both washes on the gold are very controlled in where they flow. More of a glaze and allowed to pool properly. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259912-black-legion-wip/page/2/#findComment-3175448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Great looking Black Legion Nintura! The new DV minis are perfect for BL. The gold looks excellent and the grey dry brushing is nice and subtle. Have you painted a Hellbrute yet?

Brother Ambroz Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 If you're having trouble with the detail, then what chance do the rest of us have to paint these things?! Jokes aside, great work so far. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259912-black-legion-wip/page/2/#findComment-3176031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintura Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 The detail became easier once I started using a smaller brush :D A 40-0 is what I used for most of the detail. Takes much longer, but keeps the model from getting blended and murky. All I need to do on him is the two places where the Eye of Horus would go, and the backpack. Then if my bases ever get here....

tvih Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Excellent painting, and that "Mawbrute" looks outright creepy! I was considering a black+gold color theme for when I eventually will paint my DV chaos models, but unsure because they'd end up so similar to templars (who feature gold and silver on black quite prominently). But your example makes the color scheme all the more appealing!

Nintura Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Generally Templars are Black and white with gold objects like symbols. So you dont have to worry about that :wub: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259912-black-legion-wip/page/2/#findComment-3176232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Generally Templars are Black and white with gold objects like symbols. So you dont have to worry about that :wub: Well I use gold quite a bit, especially on my Marshal (as can be seen in my crappy thread). Also lots of silver - and black & silver is another chaos color combo I was considering. Of course there's also white on most other BT models, but even just the common black primary color between the two armies would make for a lack of variety in that sense, especially combined with the squad of BA Death Company I have planned for the future. Then again, black is the nicest base color, definitely nicer than red for example, so... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259912-black-legion-wip/page/2/#findComment-3176244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintura Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Sorry for the delay, schools been keeping me busy. Just wanted to pop in and say Kudos to this guy's company http://www.secretweaponminiatures.co...cPath=79_30_60 I ordered those bases and got them about a week later. I'm pretty impressed and stoked to start these new bases on my black legion.

Nintura Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 My first attempts at realistic water bases. I think they came out a little too thick, so I'm going to try adding washes instead of paints to the mix. If anyone has any advice or links to tutorials, they are greatly appreciated. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0852.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0851.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/draconis0101/IMG_0850.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259912-black-legion-wip/page/2/#findComment-3187679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
