The_Chaplain Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 @ Chaplain - I snipped the missiles off of the normal plate that goes in there and set lascannon barrels (from the extra landraider sponsons I have) into the recesses. How about white helmet, camo apron? I do need the practice on white Yeah, that ought to turn out well; a good compromise. Thanks for the lascannon tip.

hushrong Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've missed out on A LOT in a very short amount of time. You are really cranking these out amigo! I really love that Dusk Raider and that Apothecary! For the apothecary I liked him with the white helm. I think it would have been cool to give him a terror mark, like a good ol' skull image, in blood over the white. I wonder if tamiya clear of that blood for the blood go paint would have been good for that. Anways, keep'em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Evening All! A small update. Finished the next marine in my slowly building recon squad. I've tried a host of new techniques on him. Thinner lightning and a different shading pattern for his lens are at the forefront. Also, thanks to Augustus for his awesome Rhinox hide metallic technique, which I've tried for both the silvers and tiny bit of bronzes. Gives a much more worn look to the metals which I am in love with. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/690/l6pa.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/691/0i7m.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/36/l73v.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/845/ysk4.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/545/jep3.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/541/sal0.jpg Replies! @ Forte - Whats wrong with a Tinbitz base? @ Chaplain - I though so. I think it will give a good focal point to the model which he kinda lacks now. You're welcome! @ Hushrong - Thanks buddy! That seems to be the general consensus.

Brother Heinrich Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Coming along nicely little miss. Lightning is tricky but I always just pull up a picture of actual lightning so I don't forget how the stuff actually behaves in nature. Always try and go thinner if you can, challenge yourself more with each model (not saying you aren't, just reminding you). This is a good example of what I use for reference: http://cdn.list25.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/1111.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Looking really good there Flint. Big improvement too and you already had a high standard. As for tin bitz...nothing wrong with it at all. I used it on my NL ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 And you've nailed it flint, I truly can't wait to see the next update. Keep it coming :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koriel Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Looking good. The slightly darker colours, the black trim and the camo cloaks really makes for one "realistic" model. The lightning on this model is a huge improvement, especially compared to the older one in the side by side picture. Keep up the good work and bring us more 8th legion goodies.

Flint13 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Evening guys! @ Recon - I just use it as a base instead of bare metallic. Looks way better. @ depthcharge - Thanks! Thou it's a bolter holster, not a bra :P @ Heinrich - Thanks! *saved to desktop* @ Forte - Glad to hear it. I feel like I'm getting better bit by bit ^_^ @ Jasp - Thanks buddy! Will do. @ Koriel - I know right? I think I'm going to have to do some re-painting. @ Vazzy - Haha, good to hear. I think I'm slowly starting to perfect it. @ Barabbas - Seems the lightning is a big hit. Definitely going to have to do some repainting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeaky Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I know it's a tiny thing to pic out in this sea of great models like heart eater but I really like the dusk raider :) and wonderful free hand on the shoulder. oh and the camp cloaks! Nice colour combination and pattern works well with the deep blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhaunter Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 That helmet is brutal. I really dig big oversized (although that term is quite unappropriated in 40k) lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did quite enjoy painting and writing fluff for Brother Madruk. I think he was a good "culmination" of techniques I was trying. Glad to hear the badge came out well. That little free-hand Dusk Raider symbol made me hate life a bit @ Recon - Are we talking recon marines or the bolter holder? That's just from a Thunderwolf accessory sprue @ nhaunter - Thanks! I thought it came out well. @ Knight of the Raven - Glad to hear, it isn't even that much more work, so I'm glad it pays off. @ Recon - It does. I think I've finally gotten the final "shifty" highlight down so they look pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Looks like he's been wolf hunting Flint!! Your camo cloak is really nice, looks like actual camo, and one that any (un) respected member of the VIIIth would don!! Do you make huge FW orders?? Often?? I spend all the money I can through them and only end up with like 2 or 3 kits!! Next up however, Night Lords MKII and III shoulder pads!!

Koriel Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Looking good, the thinner lightning looks much better. One can almost imagine those guys camping in the shadows, taking out people or legionaries one by one. Although I suppose NL snipers would just shoot to maim, to spread terror. Oh, and is that a wood effect you've utilised on the shotgun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Shooting for the base of the spine eh. These are coming together amazingly. Really looking the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I think that you've got some really bold and imaginative ideas here that you have pulled of remarkably well without going over the top. There are some really creative combinations of parts going on here but most importantly you aren't straying from the theme, although they are quite individual models they still look great as a whole yet maintain a very brutal feel. I especially like the blue camo-cloaks, really does drive home the attacking from the darkness feel in contrast to some of the more traditional legion-esque (proper word from now on...) feel of some of your earlier models. The Mk IV armour doesn't look quite as brutal but I think that the more uniform look combined with the cloaks really makes them look sinister. Keep up the good work :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
