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

[Dragonkin Arenis]

Never thought I'd see the face of 'er maj' on a Storm Raven. Nice, cheap way of magnetizing vehicles, I suppose :D

 

As others have said, the red and black on your Blood Angels are beautiful. You have a force to be proud of here!

[Razblood]

Gorgeous work

[Lepaca]

Lepaca, the black was pretty simple:

 

1) Prime black

2) Drybrush VMC* 166 Dark Grey

3) Drybrush VMC 164 Dark Bluegrey

4) Heavy Nuln Oil wash

5) Edge highlight VMC 162 Basalt Grey

 

* Vallejo Model Color

 

Thanks, I will try that!

[SincaiN]

Nice work as always man.. the work on the Tacts head looks great!

[LutherMax]

@ Dragonkin - for the empress!! :D

 

@ Raz - thanks!

 

@ Lepaca, no problem, hope it works for you

 

@ Sincain, thanks mate :)

[November]

Beautiful work.

[LutherMax]

Thank you November!

 

 

Well, my Stormraven is waiting to be stripped after an unfortunate incident with some defective primer, and several fruitless attempts to rectify the damage. Don't ask.

 

Meantime, not strictly in keeping with the theme of the thread but I'm painting an Imperial Fist model for a friend and got him ready for priming today...

Also here are some more pics of Mephiston that better show off the sculping work done by Lamenter. I added some skulls to the base and will be starting work on paint soon...

Cheers!

Mephiston looks amazing.

[d@n]

That's a truly amazing mephy sculped

[IronKobra]

I am gonna HAVE to get some of the German Red Brown primer! Been thinking of it for ages now!

[Nemac Vradon]

That Mephiston is absolutely stunning. I really can't wait to see it painted. Great work.

Love the work you have done with your BAs especially the baldy DC brother that I shall be copying.  

 

Could you talk a bit about how the SR is magnetised please? Trying to figure out how to do the wings on mine my brain hurt too much, and I put it back on my long to-do list. Any help in that department is most appreciated.

[LutherMax]

Thanks Mark! I think I have some pics of the magnetisation, I'll dig them out tomorrow...

[LutherMax]

Ok so turns out I don't have any pics other than the ones shown on the previous page, but basically there is one big self-adhesive magnet stuck to the top of the hull under the air intake, secured by some GS around the circumference. Then a stack of coins is held in place inside the air intake by a MASSIVE BLOB of GS. The strength of the large magnet plus the weight of the coins and GS holds the wings in place. I did also put some small magnets in those slits where the wings join the hull and corresponding ones on the underside of the wings. That combination is strong enough so that I can turn the whole thing upside down and it will hold.

 

Alas though, after all that I had a primer disaster (fuzzy finish) so I'm going to have to strip it and start again :(

Hey Luthermax, this is a great looking army, just my style, gritty and realistic looking, great modelling and painting, now following, I work in 15mm and have a 15mm Blood Angel army, I still plan on adding a lot to this army, would love for you to take a look and let me know what you think.

Those look awesome Templari – I'm always amazed to see such detail at such a small scale. I will be checking out your thread!

 

Well now ... *blows dust off thread" ... Mephiston will be coming soon (after some Orks which obviously I won't be posting here!). But for the Blood Angels I have been working on a Land Raider Redeemer / Achilles kitbash. Achilles because I think the assault cannons look a bit weedy on the LR chassis.

 

These are still WIP but all that's really left is weathering and OSL.

 

C&C welcome!

[Redwunzgofasta]

Your stuff is amazing and a massive inspiration! Your veteran sergeants are stunning, the power axe looks like its bursting with energy, cant wait to see more!

[deathspectersgt7]

Beautiful !!!

[LutherMax]

Cheers guys :)

 

Redwunz - praise indeed, I've seen your excellent Blood Angels!

[Firepower]

Sweet.  There seems to be a slight blotch on the front right, below the headlights.

[LutherMax]

Yep you're right FP, that happened today though I'm not sure how. I'm gonna touch it up when I go back with the airbrush to do the headlamps and lens OSL.

[reckoning]

I love the black youve achieved here. Beautiful vehicle.

 

Im assuming it uses the same recipe as earlier in the thread. I really need to try painting that color.

[LutherMax]

@ reckoning, cheers!

 

Drybrushing didn't work so well on this due to all the large flat areas so I airbrushed everything and just did some edge highlights:

 

1. Primed black

2. Highlight 1 with Vallejo Model Air Dark Grey Blue (airbrush)

3. Highlight 2 with Vallejo Model Air German Grey (airbrush)

4. Shading with GW Nuln Oil (airbrush)

5. Edge highlight 1 with Vallejo Model Color 164 Dark Bluegrey

6. Edge highlight 2 with Vallejo Model Color 162 Basalt Grey

 

The first highlights were done to the sides and top and the second the top only.

[Voxxel]

Gorgeous looking blood angels LutherMax! I love the gritty red and I REALLY love your yellow. Sorry to ask, but what is your recipe for yellow?  

 

Also my favorite model you made is this one:

[LutherMax]

Thanks Voxxel! I like that guy too :)

 

I used a couple of different methods for the yellow, which one in particular did you like?
