And I don't consider myself a good painter mind you. I'm at about the 'average table' level (in my own opinion mind you) and if I decide to 'sit down' I do between 10-15 Terminators or equivalent in a single day. Vehicles depend on size and detail. As an example my Stormtalon took (excluding dry times) around 2-3 hours to do and weather, the LRC around the same but my average HQ takes 5-6 because I'm hellbent on making it look slightly above the rest, meanwhile a neopythe is roughly 1 hour or so.

Brother Immolator Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well, assuming you keep the armor basecoated black and highlight it, it could be done (even then I doubt I could though). If you add more layers on it (sorry cant really tell from the pics) you have to be a superhuman to paint 15 in a row. I am impressed to say the least on both accounts :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272817-zeal-is-its-own-reward-repenting/#findComment-3328815 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you add more layers on it (sorry cant really tell from the pics) you have to be a superhuman to paint 15 in a row. I am impressed to say the least on both accounts My general build routine is 7.2.1. (references~ woo!) I clean then trim the model, prime it grey (local concoction thats fairly thin but covers it proper and ain't to expensive. Then I use (mostly) Vallejo paints, black first, then a thin coat of white (pads etc.) following that a slightly dirty white, I coat this with their sepia (thin it down enough and it looks old and yellowy) then deep red for the eys/some seals ontop a more crimson followed by a dab of orange and white. Buff for most seals, I smother it in sepia which gives it a nice old paper (almost papyrus) color, this is the bulk of the body generally, then grey on things such as the iconography which gets a black wash and silver/gunmetal for vents, gun parts and the chains (also followed by a wash). then I mix the black and grey to a .5/1/1 formula of black/grey/water and I line it with that, some mild touchups with black then it's grey for the base followed by hobby snow which I usually do when I have 4+ models ready.

Firepower Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 White paint does not a snow base make. At least it looks like it's just white paint in the pics... Not a bad job. You've made a good compromise between quality and quantity: a (very) large force at an average-ish TT standard. And Grimmy deserves that extra time investment ;) A proper centerpiece HQ is practically a must for any army. And of course, opening a painting blog thread with a pic of a locator beacon wins an easy laugh :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272817-zeal-is-its-own-reward-repenting/#findComment-3328997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to model and paint a FP Reclusiarch somewhere...

Brother Immolator Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I believe the lighting and perhaps the cammera are spoiling it. Some details that can be gleaned by certain models been close enough speak of quality work.

Krikey Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) These are really impressive, especially considering your average paint times, which make me very jealous. I like the dirty white you've used, and the red accents help to tie the army together without being overdone. I really like the unified, gritty, gonna-get-up-in-your-face-and-get-brutal look. ~K Edited March 29, 2013 by Krikey Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272817-zeal-is-its-own-reward-repenting/#findComment-3338425 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever my newb paint lvl advice is worth. Citadel Kantor blue > Citadel nuln oil > Valejo prussian blue It's slightly lighter then the normal Crimson fist colors (which seem to be a slightly lighter shade of Kantor blue) but it's darker then Ultra and works decently (for me).
