Cypher 102 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Well, I bit off more than I could chew. If I had just vowed one squad at a time I would have been good with the ETL. Finally adding some pictures now. I managed to get the command squad and attack squadron finished but still have to do the librarian and Sammael. I figured I would start up a new thread to show off models and see what you guys think. Here is the Ravenwing Command Squad complete with apothecary and Ravenwing company banner.

Grotsmasha Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 That is probably the cleanest white I've ever seen, very nice Command squad you've got there. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother dean Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 They are Isiah. They are... Little miscue with badab black on the Apoth foot but I've had that same problem so.... Very good work Cypher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypher 102 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks for the comments! White has always been a struggle. Are you talking about the back of the apothecary's right calf? That spot is actually some Nuln Oil in one of the recesses that show up on power armor. Here's the next unit. If I had just vowed these models I would have been good with the ETL. They were done well before the deadline. 5th Ravenwing Attack Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Well, I bit off more than I could chew. If I had just vow Nope.... This is so insignificant it isnt even worth fixing, but right along the top of the toe piece you could cut some white back into that Nuln Oil wash you had to put on cause you accidentally painted over the grey and didnt want to go through all that work again... Or at least that's why I did it... Very Very good white. A little more attention on the wings on the fairing but I am having trouble with them too so it's a Good Job all round!.... Edit: And are those hand lettered number 5's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Looks like it and not a bad job either. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks for the comments! White has always been a struggle.For me too... But contrary to you I always end up loosing the fight... :lol: The only thing I would change is the cold rooms of the plasma talons... I prefer a blue colour rather than the metal one you've used... It just underlines the weapon. Here it just looks like something missing... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyfox1990 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hows the black been done? Is it just standard or something mixed in? It doesn't look "normal" but I can't tell how you've gotten it to standout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 So I've been away awhile. I guess I reply to the previous post (3 years later ) and then post some new pics. Yes the 5s are freehand Brother dean. Master Avoghai, I've been kind of afraid to go back and do the glowing plasma coils because that's 32 spread around my whole army. Now that I have a number that doesn't seem so bad now though. slyfox.uk, the black is a very basic Chaos Black (now Abaddon Black). I haven't really bothered to do any highlighting on it because it has just enough gloss that is picks up the light and does it itself. One of the projects for future me is to go back and put in some highlights later. When I do I've had pretty good success with a dark blue highlight rather than grey. So now for new models. I've started in on 4th Company with the chaplain and 7th squad. I've decided to give the waterslide transfers another try after having given up on them years ago. I'm much happier with them now after using some Lahmian Medium to get rid of the gloss and blend them into the rest of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 I also got started in on the Deathwatch Overkill set. Of course I had to do the Dark Angel first. My camera has a really hard time focusing in on this model for some reason. Must be some sort of top secret Deatwatch technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galthan Ironsturm Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Welcome on IVrth Company Brother!!!! Realy beautifull squad! Nice Deathwatch Marine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Nice looking Angels! My only critic is maybe some line inking in the recesses of the wings. It could be the photography but the variation between the white and grey is very slight. Some surgically applied watered down black wash would really set off all the wingy bits.

Cypher 102 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Thanks Ironsturn and SickSix! I used to undercoat the whole model in black and overbrush straight white over the black. This left black recesses in the wings. I've moved on to Celestra Gray as a solid basecoat with overbrushed white and think it works a lot better. I'll try some Nuln Oil on a test model and see if I like that better. Here's one of my older models as an example of the white over black for the wings.

Cypher 102 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 The green's actually showing as green on these pictures. I guess it helps to not have the light pointed directly at the model. The Vindicator is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epher Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Very nice tanks! The rivets really pop in the pictures. Very smooth looking paint on all the flat surfaces. Now let's drive them through the mud! Is this the end of your vow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 No. I've still got a Rhino Primaris, Land Raider Excelsior, Dreadnought Drop Pod, Caestus, and Reaver Titan to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
