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

[Lorenzen]

Bit more work on the Leviathan.. mainly getting the base for the metals down and grubbying him up a little more.

 

[Marshal Rohr]

I take it you use a brush for your metallics right? or do you do a little of both where it is applicable?

[Lorenzen]

If i can get away with using an airbrush i will for broad areas so the inside of the chassis behind the arms for example was airbrushed (arms come off) and a lot of the back.. but bits like the arms and the joints for the legs were done with a regular brush

[Marshal Rohr]

Thanks for the reply, brother. Im looking into getting into airbrushing, so I thought I'd pick your brain ;) .

[Lorenzen]

Done a bit more work on Eidolon, wasn't happy with his original skin tone, he looked far to healthy for somebody who's been through what he has..

 

 

little bit more on his body too.. need to up the contrast on the "gold" and make it a bit more poppy as thats kinda the whole point of this model.

 

[GrandMagnus]

The face looks amazing. Old and corrupt.

[Dosjetka]

That eye... Man, that's crazy. And the Leviathus is looking great. Glad to see you back working on your Death Guard, though I do miss the Lamenters, Minotaurs and Fire Angels.

[Tyrannicide]

His face, especially the eyes, are incredible. You out do yourself, dude.

[Lorenzen]

I can be a bit of a hobby butterfly at times.. but i will get round to sorting out all my 40k armies in due time.. just so they are complete more than anything (ive not played any 40k in a loooong time 30k got in the way... then the eldar codex ruined the game.)

 

decided i wanted a more saturated purple for the armour.. still wip but i like the colour a bit more.. its less wishy washy (though some of the blends need fixing)

 

 

I really enjoy painting faces and i find eyes oddly fun to do.. even if most of the detail on stuff like that is never really gonna get seen.

[Widowmaker]

Loving the new purple, Lorenzen. Great choice of contrast color for the machinery too.

 

Can't wait to see more.

 

Cheers,

 

Widowmaker

[Brother Heinrich]

Damn dude, your faces are hands-down my favorite. Excellent work.

Must say mate, Brilliant work with the face. That is actually around about the skin tone I am looking to use for my Death Guard.

 

How did you paint it may I ask?

[Lorenzen]

It was rakarth flesh over halfords grey primer leaving a little of the grey showing through in the shadows then a zenith highlight of flayed one flesh then cma aged white from a higher angle.. few thin glazes of purple, blue and reikland fleshshade then highlighted with aged white on the extremities

[Rojo]

That new purple is great! Very rich and vibrant.

[Thousand Eyes]

I hadn't thought about getting this mini until I saw your paint job. Stunning.

[betrayer41]

How does one paint so well

[Lorenzen]

@betrayer41 with a brush ;) thanks man, i've improved a lot over the years with advice from people on here and constantly pestering some of the painters (and sculpters) that i look up to. Getting critique from people from the FW team and having some excellent painters as close friends has helped up my game considerably.

 

Now with the arrival of plastic heresy stuff i figured i'd play about with another project.. essentially an excuse to use a load of the models that my DG dont really use/ have access to in decent numbers i've started a small white scar force whilst i wait for 1k sons and as something easy to produce when im getting annoyed with beige or yellow.

 

[ToyShip]

Those Scars look great. Any chance you'd share how you painted 'em? Is it white with washes/pigments? Airbrushed?

[Lorenzen]

Its 3 paints through an airbrush scale 75 bering blue all over, scale 75 arctic blue as a zenith highlight and then white on the highest points. Then very lightly washed with burnt umber oil paint focusing on the recessess and trying to remove any excess from the flat surfaces

[ToyShip]

Looks great and deceptively simple. Now that you mention it, I can definitely see the blue undertones. I dig it.

[hushrong]

Those Scars look super crisp!

[Brother Heinrich]

Nice work!

[Rojo]

Yeah; they look great!

[Thousand Eyes]

Good work on the scars man, nice little distraction for you...

 

Now finish the Lord Commander!

[PensacolaWarhammer]

Your Death Guard are truly awesome, and I'm finding myself using this thread as inspiration for my own Death Guard.

 

I have to ask how did you make the Power Scythe for your Terminator Sgt? Also, what did you make the combi-weapon out of for your Praetor?

 

Again, awesome stuff.
