Luther's W.o.S.P. (Works of Slow Progress)

[Torbenos]

You do amazing work as has been said many times. The colours are utterly striking and vivid.

[Majkhel]

Oooh, something new! The highlights are more pronounced on this one, less real-looking and more comic-like (at least that's what comes to my mind). He will certainly stand out discretely in the ranks of his brothers.
The delicate OSL from the sword and the superb screen of the auspex are a great touch. 

[Chazzmos]

Fantastic work on the lieutenant, particularly that sword/OSL and the auspex as others have mentioned.

 

In the hope of one day recreating something like this, did you mask and airbrush the sword then edge highlight? And for the OSL effect, did you airbrush it on and then edge highlight?

 

EDIT: I forgot to ask, did you ever end up completing your Space Wolf tutorial?

First of all - thanks!

 

About the sword, I painted one series of colours (dark to light) down the blade, then masked one half and did the same in the opposite direction. Edge highlights followed.

 

The OSL was airbrushed - using very thin versions of the base colours.

 

 

The Space Wolf guide is coming soon ;)

[Jackalwolf]

Really inspiring work.

[LutherMax]

Thanks Grieux!

 

Ugh... I've had to delay the Space Wolf guide for a whole load of reasons. All the pics are taken, I just need to write it and lay it out. It's coming as soon as I can get back on it :|

 

Meantime, I finished these a while ago and have only just got around to posting them:

Lovely work as always! How are you making your blackened blades? I can see you're not starting from pure black.

BTW, are you thinking on adding some of those Primaris snipers from the oncoming Shadowspear box? :)

Thanks! I painted the blades Vallejo Metal Color ‘Exhaust Manifold’ - which is a lovely dark metallic colour. Then washes of Nuln Oil and Agrax, and scratches / highlights with Vallejo Model Air Steel.

 

And I will DEFINITELY be getting Shadowspear :D

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Reivers.

[Midnightmare]

Perfect execution on those Reivers mate, well done. Just the right amount of weathering on them. The blue eyes goes really well with the rest of the pallette :tu:

[keeblerartillery]

They are so well done!  Great models, and super well painted.  I just wish they actually were worth taking on the table lol.

Loving everything. Keep it up!

That’s Raptors for you: get the job done, by any means necessary. :D

[LutherMax]

Back to the beloved boys in red (or in this case gold) for a Dante commission. Thanks to our very own Blindhamster for the press mould for the chest eagle!

 

 

And, Blindhamster's very own rendition of Mephiston, painted by me

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on Dante and Mephiston.

[Chazzmos]

I live that darker shade of green on the Reivers, very nice indeed.

 

You nailed Mephiston's cloak and casting hand

[marine7312000]

Well now I just need to win the lottery so I can commission you to paint some stuff.

[Chazzmos]

Hey LutherMax, any chance you can share which greys you used on your Space Wolf tester model? I'm trying out some at the moment but would love to try a similar shade to yours. Cheers.

[steamius]

Love that Mephiston 

[bevulf]

Luther my friend you are a constant inspiration ! Amazing work as always !!

[LutherMax]

Thanks for all the comments! <3

@Chazzmos, I have produced a detailed guide!

 

And here is the finished version of the model, base and all

 

[Chazzmos]

Looks good! First time I've ever paid for painting advice, but it's very well presented, good work!

Thanks for your business! It’s the first time I’ve ever charged for anything, but I did put a lot of time into it :D

[Chazzmos]

Yeah, it is of very high quality. I don't really have anything to compare it to, but you should be proud!
