Oceangrave Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yah, he technically can never die, and the dark angels codex is really funny because it says that Azrael HAS to have a mini-me companion, so since this little guy is useless as what he really is, he's my Azrael counter since i hate the azrael model.... hate it with a burning passion :PÂ Â NEXT UP ON MY TABLE; I will be working on my 2nd tac squad since i have like 6/10 done in that unit and they are robed so it takes forever lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizara Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I agree, the azrael model is old, and he doesn't really fit in with the look and feel of the successors.  I converted my azrael stand in, and converted one of them relic toters.  I have to remove the helm I did before, and get a new helm so I can get my watcher painted up.  Just have to get a wicked cool mk iv helm first.  So I might just paint the one I got as is for now, and replace him later when I get my mits on a better looking helmet.  I would think the robed guys are easier, less armor to have to paint.  For me it would be easier cause metals give me nightmares lol.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangrave Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Like the termie great job . hey just noticed someone from MI me to. MI POWAH!!! gotta love that extended winter we are getting this year, making me sit inside at my desk more and I love MK4, my friend got a set of their heads from someone he plays with and i was about to like steal them from him while he slept (not very Space Marine, I know, but I got alittle khorne in me) And organic highlight (like the flowing robes) are alittle more difficult for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathspectersgt7 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 is that cork on the termies base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangrave Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yep, cork sheeting, i put it pretty much on everyone's base so they get some detailed basing, even though its not resin bases it is cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 thats a great tutorial - thanks for taking the time to put it up. Â Although my army will be DA.....I think this will work really nicely for my GKs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really, great stuff ocean, silver is tough and you really made it look incredible. Just wondering if you could fill me in your Chaplin model, the blue/black is what I'll be going for when I get around to my fallen army. But that Chaplin armor is exactly what I've been trying for. The "blues" are what I've been having trouble with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "blues" are what I've been having trouble with. Quick chaplain answer is; 1. Airbrush/Spray Paint Basecoat with Pure Black 2. 1:1 light drybrush of Pure Black: Reaper Ultramarine Blue Highlight 3. 1:2 Lighter drybrush of Black:Reaper Ultramarine Blue Highlight 4. Edge highlight with pure Ultramarine Blue Highlight 5. Wash with Nuln Oil 6. Re-edge the VERY pointed edges with Ultramarine Blue 7. Make yourself a sandwich.

Oceangrave Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well my dark angel brethren, looks like I wont be painting for a while, been dealing with a muscle pain like no other the past few days and it turns out to be an overstrained muscle :[ so I'll probably spend the next couple days trying to heal it up before i start using it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizara Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeah ultramarine is sort of a middle grade blue, not to dark, not to bright, not to light, and not to green or purple.m it's just a matter of mixing to get the right shade you need. Â And that stinks about the muscle, rest it your probably pulled it from doing something else. I know from experience rest those muscles nothing suckers worse by pushing your self to paint when your muscles in your arm are strained, I did that a month ago myself, and it was worse cause it was my right arm, and I couldn't paint with it or draw which I needed to draw cause I have art assignments for college. I had to rest it and pace myself for about a week till it fully healed while also trying to get schoolwork done. Painting minis had to be set on back burner completely for over a week. Ret it, then get back to pumping out those amazing guardians of the covenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangrave Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yah, mine is a small pinpoint muscle strand in my shoulder which means it only hurts if I decided to stretch or grab something on the floor, but still, I want to be able to use my entire arm instead of just my forearm while painting.  It'll only take a few days to rest up, after that I plan on doing what I need to do to tone my muscles back up a bit, get healthy and whatnot before working again on my guardians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
