Alyssis Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I wanted to make a thread where i show of my Blood Angels Army!Before you judge my painting, you should know that im really not good at it, nor do I have enough patience for it, and most of all, i just want to play, more then i want to paint! Il start of with a few sergeants, and from there you can get a general feel of my colour scheme. This is the first time i upload photos to anything other then facebook, so expect me to have some problems in the beginning!http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o743/Marius_Andersson_Toft/Blood%20Angels/581416_10151540638176131_1478114290_n_zpsb768c1a2.jpghttp://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o743/Marius_Andersson_Toft/Blood%20Angels/IMG_0163_zpsc7f49dc0.jpghttp://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o743/Marius_Andersson_Toft/Blood%20Angels/3649_10151577040651131_64784093_n_zpsffa964f2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivster Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Nice variation to the usual - will it be possible to get more focused pics like in the 3rd photo? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Goblin Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The colour is nearer the Flesh Tearers but I like it. You should try dry brushing your metal areas as it takes about the same time as just 'painting' and gives a really nice affect. Do you have any special characters? This is my take on Mephiston http://oddgoblin3685.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130426-112220.jpg Another quick question as I'm not massively tech savvy with forums but how do you have your image inserted into a thread instead of a link like I have above?

Memento Of Prospero Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I like your use of blue to contrast the red. If you want a quick shading effect for your metallic colours, just apply a wash on them. Try it out, you will not regret the effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Goblin Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Lots of death company very nice :) I think as I'm using an iPad i can't copy and paste for some reason on this forum. Works fine on some others though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyssis Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 You might not see it very well on the pictures i guess, but im pretty pleased with my metallic parts.. swords and other weapons are usually washed, and highlighted.. As for the gold parts, i use some vallejo red gold, and wash it with the same wash i use on the rest of the red armor..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Question brother, do you thin your paints? The paint looks thick in some areas... most notably the metallic areas. Take the metallic areas at the waist for example. A wash of black ink (or thinned black paint) can add some details to the recesses and a quick drybrush over the areas when the paint/ink drys up adds alot of details to the details! Same prinicipal can be used for the mouth grille on helmets. GW Gold is pretty hard to work with imho and even harder to get a good solid colour out of (well the old ones, havent tried the new ones) same principal can be used though. It gives the armor a more weathered look if thats what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyssis Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 I dont thin any of my paints.. I do have a thinner, but i rarely use it.. Which models do you talk about? For my assault marines, i simply prime them white, basecoat whit khorne red, wash it with the red wash from citadel, and i use vallejo red gold on the wing symbols, as well as the helmet. On some of the models, they are also washed with that same red wash, as i liked that more then using nuln oil, or agrax earthshade. I dont use much of the GW gold, and the vallejo ones that i use, red gold, old gold, and copper, are pretty liquid.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Demoulius, The new gw metals aren't to bad, that's what iv used in my golds, Balthazar gold then aggrax and touch up with ghennas is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Well reason why I asked is because the paint looks thick in some areas. If your not thinning it, I know why :D tbh GW paint is vastly improved if you thin it, even if just a little bit. I dont know how to work with Vallejo paints sadly as ive never tried them... Now, about the gold I personally think its abit to...bright. If you dont agree thats fine ofcourse, theyre your models after all but id personally give them a quick wash and a another thin layer of paint when that dries up. It generally looks abit...overly bright and a little more realistic. It also shows some of the details in the recesses (like the leaves on the marines chest in your original post, second picture?) which I always think is a nice touch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
