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

[LutherMax]

Oh that's a spooky guardsman!

Loving the ceramic mug on his backpack

 

Without going into too much detail, are his shoulder-pads and helmet painted with metallics at all? The feel of the surface's roughness you created on them is just awesome!

 

Yep, they are painted with one of my favourite metallic paints – Vallejo Metal Color 'Exhaust Manifold', followed by both brown and black oil washes. The washes make the metallic sheen of the paint barely visible – but it is there

 

I love how the mug stands out. I'm drinking out of one that is oddly similar, but green rim. Now, if you can get a micron pen and write "My other lasgun is a shovel" on it, then the golden demon is pretty much yours.

LOL!

[Monstra Sumus]

The trusty mug. 

[BadgersinHills]

Beautiful.

[LutherMax]

Finished up the next Guardsman – demolitions expert!

 

[Monstra Sumus]

Probably one of the worst or best times to get an itchy crack I suppose! 

 

Excellent as always Luther! I love the OSL glow for the eyes, such a lovely color that compliments the uniform. 

[Dwango]

I mean, that's just so good!!

[BadgersinHills]

Wonderful.

[sockwithaticket]

You've definitely hit the weathering sweet spot.

[LutherMax]

Thanks guys!

 

Now back to power armour – a mighty Crimson Fist!

 

[Brother Desultor]

Stunning!!

 

This may just be what I need to drag myself out of the stagnant quagmire of hobby lethargy I've been festering in for the past few months...

 

Cheers Luther

Excellent work on the Crimson Fist! It's given me a hankering to paint some myself... Damn it! :lol:

[LutherMax]

Thanks for the comments!

Meanwhile, I've been playing around in the Garden of Nurgle! Here are a couple of test models for my scheme...

Too many pics

[Urauloth]

Magnificently repulsive! I'd love to know some details about how you did this armour, if you don't mind?
Those rust effects are amazing, some of the most realistic I've ever seen.

[appiah4]

That is simply amazing.

[Brother Desultor]

Yeuch......

 

 

 

In a good way 

[Majkhel]

Always a fan of paler armor for DG! Additional cooling with violets looks fantastic and adds to the sinister look of the marine. Lovely rust effect too!

[WAR]

Great stuff as always, Luther!

[LutherMax]

Thanks for the comments!

@Urauloth I will be making a full guide on this scheme but for now I can tell you that for the rust I used Typhus Corrosion (for texture) and Dirty Down Rust – which is a somewhat unpredictable product, but unparalleled in terms of realism. I just need a bit more practice with it.

Moving on, I've returned to Astartes (literally!) for this Retributors space marine...

 

[Majkhel]

Yes! THANK YOU!  I can already hear the thumping of the deck under his boots!
Really liking the beige hue of the grey in the highlights! I think bolter-casing could use some other color though. Black even if nothing fancy like turquoise.

Still great work and a fantastic study to learn from!

[LutherMax]

Thanks Majkhel!

[LutherMax]

Refined the Death Guard Plague Marine scheme for my latest painting guide :)

Hi there!

Here's my latest completed model – a Dark Angels Deathwing Bladeguard Veteran. I made a PDF painting guide / tutorial on the whole thing, which is on my website.

Hope you like him!

[Chaplain Raeven]

Like him? That's quite the understatement! It's a beautifull paintjob. 

[Firedrake Cordova]

That's really nice work, @LutherMax!
