chaplain mortis Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 hey guys after seeing the pdf tutorial that forgeworld produced, i thought i would give the deathguard scheme a bash changed the main basecoat colour from the tutorial and added some weathering first painted mini in a long time so not thinking its to bad really looking forward to doing a whole army of these will hope to update this as often as i can anyway..on to the tester still needs a bit more highlighting to the metals http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/mine/fonepics251.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/mine/fonepics250.jpg will have to get a proper camera sorted for future photos cheers for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Excellent work so far, when are the arms going to get done? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batu Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The EC looks very nice. Better than the SH, but I guess when you start highlighting him he will look as good as the EC. I predict some excellent paint jobs on this thread :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplain mortis Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Excellent work so far, when are the arms going to get done? :tu: well you could say my marines are quite "armless".... ;) sorry, bad bad joke as these are just tester marines i just use the basics as a sorta bust to try out the schemes.. i am hoping that when the arms and backpack are on there should be no difference to the painting.. fresh off the painting line though is the next tester...damn these guys paint up fast http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20121030_200339.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20121030_200413.jpg and a comparison with the first deathguard http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20121030_200618.jpg very happy that the second has turned out like the first...now can get on with the building of this force think i might try going for a metal color to the collars though...to provide a bit more contrast thanks again for your comments, very appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplain mortis Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 cheers for the replies guys! @batu..wasnt sure at first with weathering the grill, but really like it now..good that it was noticed @ludovic...really suprised myself at how quick these paint up...im used to spending 4+hours on a marine..to get to this stage is about half hour..will assume that will only take another half hour to do the shoulderpads and bolter @cypher 89...will lay out the steps and paints used and hope this helps you... the models were first primed with vallejo grey primer through an airbrush.. then was given a smooth, flat coat of vallejo model color off-white through an airbrush..(thanks again to b&c member deamonclaw for doing the airbrushing :D ) the silver was done with chainmail then washed with nuln oil the brass was done with vallejo model color brass then washed with agrax eartshade then the model was sponge weathered with vallejo model air german camo black/brown any clean up work was then done with the off-white wash the white areas of the model with a 50/50 mix of seraphim sepia and lahmian medium pick out all the rivets and select highlights with off white highlight silver with chainmail and brass with vallejo model air bright brass pigment of your choice to the feet and face grills things to note...the model looks pants before it is washed..and it looks awful while the sepia is drying..seems to come together when the rivets have been re-done all the details were painted first as i find it easier to clean up any mistakes with the basecoat color before it is washed. the forgeworld tutorial uses skull white as the base coat...i only used off white as it takes some of the harshness away from pure white and looks more natural...army painter bone may work just aswell its a good idea to mix the sepia and medium in a pot than try and do it per model..plus you should get a uniform look across the army. the airbrushing of the basecoats is the key to really speeding these boys up..also seems to help the sepia wash do its job...i tried this color scheme on a model i basecoated off-white with a paintbrush and besides the sheer time it took to get a half decent coat on the model, the wash didnt settle that well...will put a picture up at some point for comparison. hope this helps and thanks again for the comments guys :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 looking good there mortis i think you nailed that weathering just right without going overboard . now get some arms on them so we can see the whole man ps this guy made me chuckle, what is going on with the big foot picture :P :D http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20121030_161026.jpg reminds me of this http://www.newturfers.com/mwf/attach/78/406278/fido.jpg :P :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
