masterdPm Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Ever felt like... you see someone doing something amazing, and yet you feel that you might be able to do something good to.. You see inspiration, motivation... or Ever felt like when you're learning how to play the guitar, and then some friend sends you a link to a youtube video where a 7 y-o plays something way out of your league, and you feel like putting the guitar in the corner of the room, ready to gather dust... Well... You, good sire, make me feel both ways. Incredible work ! I just discovered your thread, so I did not have the time to go through all the pages... Just a glimpse of your work.. That's really something I want to learn. I have ideas for my work that I can't do with the typical tactical SM. Anyway... I'll keep your thread in mind... Kudos !

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks, masteredPm, glad to be some inspiration. :D I'm back on my ETL vow, having assembled all the cataphractii with arms attached, chain weapons off to paint separately. It's been a while since I painted one my Crimson Sons, so I'm working on getting back into the swing of it by focusing on a single model for now. http://i.imgur.com/UgSuPFZ.png Still WIP and I'm not happy with everything, but it's getting there.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Someone looks very Ultramarine-y ;) I kid, of course. I'm actually really impressed you had the bloody-mindedness to push through and convert each and every halberd as you did. Looking forward to seeing this vow complete, and secretly holding out for Horus to make a reappearance some time soon :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/79/#findComment-4091994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Someone looks very Ultramarine-y How dare you, sir! Oh, the halberd teeth... the horror... don't remind me. >_< Yes, as soon as I come up with a good idea for a helm to put on Horus, he will get done. There's some other older projects I'd like to come back to and finish up, like that large Eisenhorn figure, but now that me and Hyenas have starter our Unification project thread, I'll be focusing on actually cranking out some of my Crimson Sons. (btw, you can click the Crimson Sons icon in my sig for the project).

Barabbas Sogalon Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 How do you paint the blue? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/79/#findComment-4092070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 I start with a dark blue basecoat from a spray can, then airbrush two progressively lighter shades of blue in a mostly zenithal fashion. Then I come back in thinned down dark blue paint and washes to blend the different colors together and fill back in some of the spots I still want to have the midnight blue color.

Might try again soon. Thanks to Hyenas for help coming up with a suitably snobbish and aristocratic sounding name for an Olympian.

Hyaenidae Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) I love 'em, dude. He looks amazing, and arrogant as hell. EDIT: Just noticed the World Eater banner hanging from his waist.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) High praise from someone who has cranked out some of the best Iron Warriors I've ever seen. I'm glad I finally got him finished, but most of all, I love that the helmet conversion held up with paint on it. I might have to do more of these Maestoros-pattern MK IV helms. EDIT: Just noticed the World Eater banner hanging from his waist. Nice touch. If I can ever get a decent pic to show the colors close to how they really are, the one hanging in front is a piece of a blank blue-green banner.

Flint13 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yay! So happy to finally see paint on this dude. His helm and chest plate look spot on, and I love the mismatched look his greaves and gauntlets have.

Slips Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Can I expect the Dark Side of the Ultramarines to be Explored? Will y'all have a company raised from the Deathworld Kor'Iban? Pass down teachings with Holographic Cubes? Either way, I watch with great interest.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'm using a plastic pitcher, 'cause we had one around the house that no one could remember the last time it was used. It didn't diffuse the light all that well, so I gave the inside of it a very light coat of white spray paint.

Forté Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 That's where the issue is then. I don't use a diffuser myself. Just my two painting lamps and my wife's DSLR. One lamp from above right, and the other at desk hight front left. I use the MV backgrounds though which help.
