Lorenzen's Abyss: Heresy, Necro & a load of other stuff

[Lorenzen]

Cheers these models are a little out of my comfort zone paint wise.. they arent grimy and dingy!

 

started working on transfering the yellow of the dread over to infantry.. needed to test it out before sigismund gets delivered..

[Olis]

Not bad at all - I see a teeny little bit of yellow peeking through on the shoulder pads, though. 

[Lorenzen]

 

That better Olis? ;)

[Olis]

 

That was quick... 

[Lorenzen]

bit more work on my templar man today.. week off from work so hoping Sigi arrives and that i can get a decent amount of painting done :)

 

 

[Olis]

I like how the yellow, which is almost brown in hue and certainly much darker than the usual depictions of Fists, comes across as a rich colour. I'm pretty sure it's the subtle blending that's done that.

[Brother Heinrich]

I have to say the mustard-brown yellow you've got going hasn't been doing it for me on the fists, however I'm reserving judgement until I see what you do for the bases as that makes all the difference. Given your skill though I'm sure they are gonna look ace when finally finished.

[Lorenzen]

the colour is based off my friend Proms recipe whos army i adore, plus i wanted to avoid going down the same path as i did with the lamenter stuff and going very bright.. so stole the yellow from him.

 

 

couple of links to Proms work.

*edit*

 

done a little more work.. and put him on a base for you Heinrich.. need to add a little bit of weathering to the legs to tie him to the base a bit and add a few bits of static grass.. also will be doing some chipping to the armour before he's finished

I forgot how much I loved that company champion conversion of prom's; thanks for linking to it and refreshing it in my mind! Could you potentially post the ow recipe? I personally adore that mustard yellow you've achieved.

The recipe is prime black, airbrush VMA armour brown zenith VGC heavy brown over that then filter VGC gold yellow over the top. Prom shades with agrax earthshade, but i chose to use an oil wash of ak streaking grime instead, then highlight with VMA aged white.

 

He's almost finished now, need to tidy the black up, add a few more spots of weathering and maybe some tufts of scorched grass to him.

I really like the yellow! normally I don't like Imperial fists, because their armour it too bright. This however, looks quite good.

 

The skin-tones on his face are also amazing.

 

I'm looking forwards to see Sigismund, painted like this. 

[Lorenzen]

Cheers, i enjoy painting flesh quite a lot.

 

speaking of Sigismund...

 

 

 

I had to give him some hair, as the description of Sigi mentions him having dark blonde hair.. plus it makes mine just that little bit different to others :)

[Olis]

I like the crew cut you've given him. Great work, as usual. :tu:

[GrandMagnus]

Muuuuuch better with hair.

[WilhelMiniatures]

Looking good! This one also has a great skin-tone. 

[One-eye]

I *love* your yellow. It's awesome, the reddish brown aspect is perfect.

[Brother Heinrich]

Oh hot damn! Nice work Lorenzen!

[Tyrannicide]

Damn, the head looks killer with some hair. Great sculpting.

 

Mind taking a closer pic of the face?

[KBA]

Looks good.

[Lorenzen]

Cheers, I'm enjoying painting the mustard yellow style Fists. Done a bit more work on him (mainly the black sword and started his base) but hes coming along nicely.. Not 100% sure what colour to paint the big studs on his shoulders.. any ideas?

 

 

and as requested some close ups of his face.

 

[Olis]

Maybe paint the studs black?

[Brother Heinrich]

Maybe paint the studs black?

I had the same thought.

[Lorenzen]

procrastinating on the studs for the time beings.. done more on the base.
