feuer_faust Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 TITHI I gave some old Nurgle marines a fresh (metaphorically) shot at life as Dark Disciples for my Purge apostle.

Oxydo Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 TITH I finished my Laspred despite the that the weather suddenly remembered that 'Hey it's summer!' and everything is currently horrendously warm and moist. Now I can hopefully get cracking properly on my ETL vows, provided the weather allows airbrush in the next couple of days.

Zephaniah Adriyen Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 TITH I discovered my pot of Mephiston Red was left open in my paint case. Still moist, but I spilled some all over the inside. Fuuuuun. At least I know what Mephiston Red looks like when fully dry in big blobs.

Zephaniah Adriyen Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I loooooooooooooove the purple on that power/force sword. It's beautiful and epic, and I wish I could pull stuff off like that. Overall model color scheme is unremarkable, if effective. thewarriorhunter 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/325/#findComment-5325659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 ...Overall model color scheme is unremarkable, if effective. Thanks for the compliments! To address your criticism I inverted my scheme for the Librarian. Normally it's light gray with blue detail but I didn't want to have an all blue librarian so I decided to keep the light gray for trim. I think it helps him stand out on the tabletop as a libby but he still retains the scheme of my homebrew chapter.

Zephaniah Adriyen Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Oh, it's only mild criticism, after all. Actually, I think your chapter scheme seems a bit... pastel. But hey, it works in canon and it's a cool, unique color at face value, so whatever. Paired with the purple details, it reeeeeally works, though.

thewarriorhunter Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 That's the first time I've heard pastel used, but not the first time I've heard people say they don't... 'care' for my color scheme... *shrug*. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I don't mind the critique, and if it's constructive I greatly appreciate it. I'm glad you think the purple ties it together, as that was my goal. My wife came up with the scheme so I'm sticking with it because I like it and she thought of it. She doesn't participate in the hobby at all so when she put the colors together I was happily surprised and decided to adopt it for my custom chapter.

Viridia Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Looks good! I feel like a wash would help the colour scheme because it looks very bright, but you do you mate, it's quite fitting for the theme that you seem to be going with.

Darnok Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 TITH I managed to get more paint on my ETL models - some of them are in the "three colours minimum" field already.

Now I have to spend the $7.50 to get another pot of it before I can even touch my ETL vows anymore. Yay. The Gods of Chaos have sought their vengeance upon you for calling my scheme 'pastel' Just kidding, sorry about your loss. No one likes spilling their paint pots, especially on something that will stain. Looks good! I feel like a wash would help the colour scheme because it looks very bright, but you do you mate, it's quite fitting for the theme that you seem to be going with. Appreciate the compliment! It's darker in person. My light setup is not ideal for photos and everything is always brighter than it should be. I think a photo booth is in short order for me.

jkoczan42 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 @thewarriorhunter: I think if your colors are getting washed out, a photo booth is definitely in order. On the other hand, it might help to push the contrast some more, perhaps by having a darker shade on the blue. Not make the overall color darker (it's a nice shade of blue), but deepen the shadows with some light glazes of a dark blue ink/wash in your shadow spots. thewarriorhunter 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/325/#findComment-5326764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephaniah Adriyen Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Oh, I've only got a small vow, after all; if I really sat down and did it, it'd take me a few nights' painting. Alas, real life must get in our way from time to time. Although I'm after another pot of Nuln Oil ASAP.

thewarriorhunter Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Rubber bands give +1 to saves against blunt melee weapons like thunder hammers and the clothes pins turn the Gatling Canon into a melee variant. Seriously though I didn't want it coming apart... Ever. So I clipped off all the push fit pins and glued the components together.
