Gunrunr Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Brothers, I just wanted to share with you my newest models. My goal was to make a few models that would represent my squad leaders on the field of battle. Soon I will start working on a model that will take over 1st squad and move the current model over to 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Excellent work Brother Gunrunr! I especially like the the execution of the banners. Might you share your recipe? Also, they look like the black has softened a tad. Did you by chance add some grey in there or is it the lighting? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Very, very nice work. All too often I see Templars which just came out of a spray can but these...there's some real work and skill in these. I'd also like to hear how you did the 'black'. I'd also guess it's really a grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallvictory Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Nice, the banner and cloth work are clearly the focus here, well executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The Emperor cannot solve your problems, the Emperor is your problem. This sig is wrong on so many levels, but it still cracked me up. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Nice work on the banners. Your soft armour joints seem to be a shade of blue? Never seen that on templars before, looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunrunr Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Brothers, @ Honda......the banners are done only using a white base coat and then a wash of Devlin Mud. I also used a little Bleached Bone for the highlights but not very much at all. I did have to water down the devlin mud some because alone its just a little too dark. @ Honda and Kierdale.......the black is infact just a black ink washed codex grey. First I base-coated everything in chaos black and then did all the armour in codex grey. After the grey was totally dry I added a layer of black ink. One wash will not be enough to make it look black so add more layers only after the previous layers are dry. I think I used around 3 to 4 layers on mine. I then finished it off with Chainmail Silver as a highlight. I used the silver to give the effect of battle damage or wear rather than true highlights. @ Everyone else......thanks for the kind words. I am pleased with the progress I have made with my painting skills and can only hope that some of my advice or work can help a fellow Brother improve as well.

dustermaker Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I really like how you painted the black with some brown to shade it! I like it so much that I am going to use that technique next time I make a black army!! Great looking Templars!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunrunr Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Brother Dustermaker To tell you the truth.....it's the first time I try using the brown myself. I liked the way it looked on someone elses model so I decided to try it out. I feel it gives the model an aged look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
