Conn Eremon Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 That would explain it, Flint. The head does look better. After seeing it here, I've noticed examples of it elsewhere on the board, so I assume it's a new head option or I just haven't noticed it. Unpainted, the extra stuff looks . . . weird to me. Like '70s sideburns on a Marine helm weird. But it seems to blend in nicely all painted. Still keep looking at the mouth grill and thinking it's the whole face though, like he's got one large helm sitting on top of a small one. :sweat: Everything else looks good, though I wouldn't have done all three in orange-red. Spear would have looked good in some dark blue, and the cape could stand a little muddying.

helterskelter Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Technically it's really a good paint job, but he wouldn't look out of place in a Death Guard army, as much as I know he is a white scar. Weathering of the white is spot on, like perfection, though I will second conn in that the Cape could be a bit more grubby Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/107/#findComment-4254430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I MUST know the recipe for that off-white. Like, the need is burning within me...

Firepower Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 You went full Blanchette on that spear, huh? I dig the reds. Very smooth work there. The beige-ing of the white armor seems a touch heavy handed to me, but then I use that same cheat all the time, so who am I to talk (rhetorical question!)? It does mute out the gold a bit, though, which is something of a pity given the quality of the gold itself. Still gotta tighten up that free-hand work. Practice practice practice And finally, the posing issue doesn't seem to be an issue at all. I don't even notice it, really.

Kriegsmacht Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Ugh I hate you(not really :P) for how amazingly well you painted the blue on that weapon. Do you have to be so good at what you do? :P He looks really good.

Black_out Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 He looks dope, Flint! Love the blue on the power weapon and the weathered armor looks great. He's the complete package in my eyes, very well done!

Daemon2027 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Really good work Flint, the dirty white is very well done, exactly how I'm painting the WS. I've always liked the way you do power weapons and this one is e best yet.

Flint13 Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Evening guys and gal! Thanks for all the positive comments and helpful criticisms ^_^ @ Ckpmax - HAH! ... I was thinking Vidal Sassoon. Same as my hair dryer :D You know, that makes me think of something. The Vth and VIIIth haven't really had any major engagements against each other, have they? It's kinda weird too, I always saw the White Scars as how the Night Lords could work if they were more targeted and less vicious. @ IHF - Thanks man! I was trying to see if I could make a few simple colors interesting with just weathering. Glad to hear it worked acceptably. @ Conn - Yep! He's got one of the MKII Vth legion heads from FW. They're relatively new. The mental image of an Astartes wearing a larger helm over a smaller one is hilarious, and I thank you for that. His Guan Dao actually started with a light blue tassel, but I thought it looked to similar to the adjacent blade :( @ Helter - I'll agree, the cape is about the only thing I think I'd like to try weathering a little bit more. @ Firepower - Blanchitsu is the only martial art I know... well that and Gun Kata :D Wow, I feel like if I get off that lightly, it must be halfway decent! Thanks for the advice ^_^ @ Midnight - Thanks! I feel like it was a pretty good first shot at a "warm" white @ Skimask - See! White Scars are essentially loyalist Night Lords with a different culture! @ Recon - Thanks! @ Black_Out - Appreciate it. It was a lot of first tries for me. @ Hydra - You think? I'm glad to hear it! I actually tried something a little new there too. @ Atia, Augs, Larkyn + Krieg - Ok, so the white recipe. It's obvs witchcraft right? (b/c I'm the White Witch.. :D ) Actually it's stupid simple b/c I'm lazy. First, props to Brother Stobz who pointed me in the right direction for white with a warm basecoat. 1.) White primer 2.) All over filter of AP strong tone, Agrax or the like 3.) Broad layer highlight of Ulthuan gray, leaving a little of the brown tone showing. 4.) Wash of AP soft tone over the armor plates 5.) Instead of another layer, the top half of each plate (where you'd normally put a broad edge highlight) got 50/50 ulthuan gray and white, watered down to the consistency of a wash. This works awesomely to brighten and highlight, but also gives a much more natural fade for the dirty weathering look. 6.) Matte varnish Anywho, that's pretty much it. Let me know if you have any other questions!

ckpmax1108 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 @ Ckpmax - HAH! ... I was thinking Vidal Sassoon. Same as my hair dryer You know, that makes me think of something. The Vth and VIIIth haven't really had any major engagements against each other, have they? It's kinda weird too, I always saw the White Scars as how the Night Lords could work if they were more targeted and less vicious. Well, yeah. Among other things: They're both in favour of the quick alpha strike. Both employ hit and run tactics. Both were considered brutal and savage, yet have shown great analytical, and tactical minds. Both tried to pacify their home worlds through conquering of other major powers (Khan), or scaring the pants of the other major powers into submission (Konrad). They both have put their trust on only a small number of his brothers. Khan (Horus, Magnus), Konrad (Fulgrim...until he tattled to Dorn...f*** that guy). Though in that sense Socially Awkward Corax is similar to them as well. Both are just swell guys...subjectively (..I think). Still, if they had butted heads, it would be an interesting fight in certain settings. If you think about it, I haven't read/knew much of the interaction of the two Primarchs either. Many draw parallels of Nighlords to Raven Guard, but that's only because they both employ Jump infantry as their unique unit type, and they both needed time under the sun...and they're both emo, I guess.

Knight of the Raven Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Lovely White Scar. I think it's the first time I seen one with this shade of aged white.

Firepower Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 @ Firepower - Blanchitsu is the only martial art I know... well that and Gun Kata Wow, I feel like if I get off that lightly, it must be halfway decent! Thanks for the advice I neglected to mention the lack of black/silver for the soft armor in the palm of his hand. I must be getting soft. Or you're getting better. I had no idea what Gun Kata is, so I googled it, and it sent me to the movie Equilibrium. It's so...just... Shame on you for putting me through that I'd still like to see a shot of where the cape connects to the back, by the way. Awful curious about that.

Firepower Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Neat. I can't quite figure out what that line is around his eye, though. The grit on the boots is very well done, and the blood splotching is solid. But 1,000 years after the Siege of Terra...shouldn't he be red by now? And the world would be a better place without that pout-lipped throat-tumored Batbale. Not to mention that wretched Terminator sequel (though it probably would've sucked with or without him). :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/107/#findComment-4256731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
