Only victory is honourable - White scars - Siege of Terra

[Hyaenidae]

Wow.

 

That's it. That's all I got. He's beautiful.

 

Carry on, sir. Carry on.

[Koriel]

He built, he painted, he conqured.

Absolutely beautiful work, your painting skills are as top notch as your conversion skills. I believe I've said it before, but anybody else who wants to do a HH White Scars force, will be hard pressed to trump your work.

[Barabbas Sogalon]

He is beautiful, absolutely stunning.

[One-eye]

Thanks a lot !! The second one, done in parallel. The pictures are even worse, and I like this one irl far more :)

[GrandMagnus]

Damn, stunning work brother.

[Koriel]

Mind sharing your white recipe? ;)

[Tyrannicide]

Churning em out, I see! 

 

Beautiful white. The streak effects are really well done. Can't wait to see the Sergeant painted up. 

[KBA]

Floored by the little things, the little details, in your work! Those red markings on the knuckles are a great touch. How long did it take you to get this good at painting? Any broad tips for guys looking to take their brush work to a higher level? :)

[temneb]

Love your work!

 

Is there a chance I could get a run down on how you did the white?

 

I'm planning a World Eater army and the White scares me, so much I'm thinking of changing it out for something else. I still might just to be different, but I really like you're white.

[SteelPaladin]

Good Lord almighty... The world has never seen such perfect White Scars...

[Pyromancer]

I've been excited to see these painted, and I haven't been disappointed! Keep up the great work.

[Ace Debonair]

Oh man, those are magnificent.

Just... incredible. I don't have enough superlatives!

[One-eye]

For the white recipe, for the first time I used an airbrush.

On a white undercoat I airbrushed a light grey (PA Air light grey) from beneath to give shadows, a greenish light grey (also PA Air, can give you the references when I'm back home) for transitions and again white from atop. It was my first use of an airbrush so it was rough. I did no "basecoat", just shadowing and lighting.

From then, I did glazes. Very diluted same nuances of grey, and Devlan mud. Then Badab black for "lining" and that's it.

Actually it's only glazes (wet blended to the white) and pretty simple.

That's a difficult question KBA... I acquired a steady brush with time. Apart from that the only thing that I'm aware is that the more I progress, the more I dilute my paints. As said above, I tend to work only with glazes.

But I only paint light colors (white or yellow). The same cannot be easily done for dark ones. But for my Deathwatch, I found that even glazes of brown and dark red in shadows give richness to the black. That and reduced highlights surfaces are the key from my pov.

[temneb]

Thanks, that's awesome.

[oldschoolsavant]

Wow.

 

Just wow. Lovely smooth white, and I'm jealous....

[One-eye]

Nurgle tried to intercept the White Scars reinforcements to Terra in sending me a flu of his own. But I managed to crawl to my desk to finish... 1 marine...

After sending his herault back to the warp, I hope to be able to increase again my speed.

This mini gave me the opportunity to fix my brotherhood symbol, which I wanted simple and meaningful. But enough blabla

[Barabbas Sogalon]

Another amazing model, brother. The brotherhood symbol is that of a snow leopard, am I right?

[One-eye]

Absolutely ! Unfortunately they disappeared during M3 on Terra. But there's always Carnodon to be hunted for their pelt on Tegahr Pendarus, the first world put back in the Emperor's light by the IX Legion. The officers of the 24th Brotherhood should be able to wear some, hopefully :wink:

[GrandMagnus]

Its nice to see some of the bits from the new tactical kits fit with the heresy, Im planning a heresy army of my own and I have some leftovers I might add (mostly MK VI). Awesome mini One-eye

[Monstra Sumus]

Oh Lordy!

 

I was more than impressed with the modelling but when the paint went on, well cover me in barbecue butter and release me in a steak house. 

[Koriel]

Beautiful work as always, the brotherhood marking looks terrific :tu:

What I find really enjoyable in this thread is how  you are able to conceptualize a soldier (modeling) and then finish him to such a high degree (painting). You really have integrated all the parts of the hobby that inspire people with your efforts.

 

I hope you get over your flu soon, your WS destiny awaits. :)

Gotta agree. One-eye is one of those rare members that not only knocks modelling out of the park, but does so with painting as well. People are lucky just to have one, but two? I hope you are entering those fancy painting comps, O-E :)

[Brother Heinrich]

Excellent as usual, that derp on the front of the Crimson Slaughter supplement could learn a thing or two from this fellow about proper firearms handling.

[Phoros]

Absolutely gorgeous. I prefer my Scars with a little more red, for contrast, but you've pulled this off magnificently.
