Forté's creations: Started Crimson Fists (pg 67)

[Forté]

Lol...wouldn't have use for 5. Tempted to mix some metal bits in too. Like the old 'beweaponed extremities' mutation. Think I need to have a look over the old Realm of Chaos books ;)

[Slave to Darkness]

-well f ya need em there yours, m sick of lookin at the bloody things

[Forté]

First session on my Night Lord done. Base coats and black wash done to a point. Base done and went on to work on the head. Even with an attempt at a terror marking.

The blue is VGC Night Blue. Washed with Badab Black then cleaned up with the base colour before adding two highlights. First with GW Fang, then with GW Hideous Blue.

Thoughts, C&C all greatly received and thank you for stopping by :tu: :thanks:

[Chickenleg]

Very nice color choice and the terror mask is awesome.Cant wait to see him finished.

[batu]

The terror markings are

 

Can't wait to see that badass finished !

[Brother Ambroz]

Ah, now that helmet comes into its full glory. Looks ace, giving me ideas on how to do terror markings so I thank you for that.

[The Nephilim]

Forte, that helmet is legend-wait for it-dary.

[Forté]

Forte, that helmet is legend-wait for it-dary.

Calm yourself Barney.

 

Thank you very much everyone.

 

I'll have to go for a trial on the lightning on some unwanted piece before putting it on the model. See what happens.

[Vazzy]

Oh man...I'm so stealing those Terror markings for thatch.... Great work all around Forte

[Forté]

Cheers Vazzy.

[Skrundle87]

Great work, love the helmet in particular

[nhaunter]

Hey Forte, that helmet looks great. Just one question did you smooth it with green stuff or? I was having something similar for my Raptors so I have to ask.

[Forté]

The helm is a Mk7 tactical squad one. Trimed down and rebuilt with green stuff. I file the gs once it cures to get better edges. If you have a Mk4 then you could just smooth it off. Look at the Destroyer squads from FW.

[deathspectersgt7]

Very Snappy. 

[Forté]

Little tester before going for it with some lightning.

VGC Night Blue

[Brother Ambroz]

It's not bad but I think you can go a little thinner than that. Don't feel like the whole bolt needs to be white either, just parts that branch off. That's how I do it anyway. The white part should always be the finest and thinnest.

[Forté]

Its actually the main bolt that is the brightest and the most charged. And, I'm going to have to go thinner in most places. Don't think I'll be going pure white at any point though.

[Brother Ambroz]

Yes that's how it usually is with lightning bolts, but if you use white on the whole main bolt then you can't see as much of the other layers. I usually try to do mine so the white parts aren't really running into each other, if you know what I mean.

[batu]

I like the lightning bolts. Sure you could go thinner, but I think for a banner the thickness is alright. 

[Chickenleg]

Lightning colors look ace,combine well with the armor.

[Rune_Priest_Rhapsody]

Yeah!! Nice work forte!!

 

End of Line

[Forté]

Will need to go much thinner now that I've slept on it. Cheers all.

[nhaunter]

I like your lightning very much, wouldnt change it at all. Of course this kind is probably best suited for banners because it gives that overcharged, back-light look but on models you would have to go much thinner lines.

[Forté]

Hopefully be going for it tonight. Unless I pass out first which is very possible. I've left a fair few plain areas to try it on :)

[Natanael]

1. Helmet looks supercool.

2. Thinner Lightning.

3. Can't wait to see him in all his painted glory
