Candleshoes Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Glad you decided to come back to the Alpha Legion Demon, your stuff is just incredible, and is just dripping with the passion, attention to detail, and utter uniqueness that follows someone creating what they love. With your potential different directions, one of the beautiful things about playing 30k and making models for it, is the fact there is SO much variety within single Legions themselves, it is perfectly fine to explore themes and skillsets that might not necessarily be attributed to the Legion. AL are so varied anyway, like you said a heavy artillery, light scout infantry, and some heavy drop/mech infantry already sounds like an awesome sight on the table. Best of luck!

Daemon2027 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks mate, I really love what your doing, so to hear words of encouragement from you is great. Ok so started painting last night, and I'm not happy. I think I have gone to light, and to green. The painting is also a bit messy which is what I get for staying up late. I'm going to see if I can create a better shade, in fact I think I had before I started to add to much Sotek green. Would love some thoughts Oh and am experimenting on this guy as I will weather the crap out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Have you paintedon cracklepaint yet? I remember seeing the idea and I'm very keen to see if it works well. Great modelli g BTW, love the BL idea! Unfortunately, when I primed the model I lost the cool effect. Still, I think it's a good idea, and one that I shall explore further. Ok, so spurred on with new painting ideas (thanks Candleshoes) I quickly begun to repaint the Moritat. I am much happier with the result. A little tweaking is required, and much neater painting but that will come with time (I hope). I also want to try and get a better colour variation from dark to lightning future models. Now, Candleshoes recipe called for a watered down green wash, but (using my brain for once) when I tested it on a shoulder pad, it came out a lot greener. I think this is to close to the SoH scheme so I went with a blue glaze. Which you can see above. I will keep that shoulder pad though. The head looks really messed up, when I undercoated, the spray bobbled a bit, I fixed the body by sanding it down and undercoating by hand, but the head just looks wrong. I am thinking of removing it and giving him a helm. Thoughts, tips, and opinions much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just cant escape the Legion! Gave him another blue glaze just to see and I think it might be perfect, even on the greener shoulder pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 The new darker scheme. A bit of a pain to picture. i think this needs a little highlight. This will probally be my effrit scheme, which the moritat will be part of, and the lighter one for standard troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleshoes Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Interesting depth of colour, and a good idea for the effrit - any chance we can see another photo at a different angle? The head looks fine in this picture, still considering changing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That's a great scheme for the Effrit! I actually like the previous scheme for the regular legionaries. It would look great with the rest of the mini painted up. It is really difficult to get a proper appreciation of a colour scheme until the whole mini is painted (and even based). I'd encourage you to paint the other parts of the min before altering the armour colour. Keep up the great work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks guys. I still need to really work out the best colour combination. Heres a shot taken when the sun threatened to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 liking the last one its looking good brother,i also think you should keep the head as it does define him and a basecoat of colour might give you a different view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
