ben rolls Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 just a few bits of mine based around the DV box set. try your best to look interested. some complete but most still WIP as i get excited and distracted easily. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/benrolls/20130217_153946.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/benrolls/20130206_094141.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/benrolls/20130120_170305.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/benrolls/20130120_170840.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/benrolls/20130120_170908.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/benrolls/20130120_170709.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/benrolls/20130407_194227.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/benrolls/20130424_230446.jpg bit bright, but then im not a good photographer. thanks.

Firepower Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Neat, a fairly orthodox DG bunch with a few unique touches. That tank in particular is properly nasty. I'd consider doing just a big of metallic chipping on the weapons though. A 100% orange rust coat just makes it look funny, if you ask me. I'd also consider making a few tiny bits really pop with a splash of bright paint on the occasional pustule. Purple, orange, or a brighter yellow would do well, so long as it's consistent. It's a common trick in DG armies, and it works rather well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Completely agree with Firepower. Although nice DG, definately addsome spot colours for pustules and the guns could use some metal showing. Still, nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 That Vindi looks seriously moldy, nice work :) I agree with the previous two about adding some metal chipping to the rusted areas and perhaps some spot cours on the boils and pustules. But overall I like this army :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben rolls Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 thanks for the feedback . l have never really done rust before So I'M Practicing wth it. was thinking a drybrush on the edges or something but if anyone has tips for it im all ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The few times I've painted rust I did it in the opposite direction- painting a layer of metallics and then stippling oranges over top. I suppose you could do the same, just stippling metallic paints in patches along edges, especially those that would be seeing wear and tear, like the blades. You might try the battle damage sponge technique with metallic paint too and see if that works. Like I said, I haven't tried myself, so I'm just making an educated guess.

Firepower Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Ha! Going at a vehicle with a dremmel...that sounds very therapeutic :) The rust looks better now, and much better on the vindi in particular. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben rolls Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 thanks, yes VERY therapeutic. i would reccomend to all. the rust on the latest was done with weathering powder, very messy stuff. still finding an orange sheen on my forearms from my desk now.
