MrBear Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Can't belive I've missed this blog until now! Nice painting, good conversions and some splendid writing, plenty of things to get inspiration from here Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286237-send-the-eighth-28115-command-unit-finished/page/6/#findComment-3726171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Baby step by baby step I'm slowly churning through the troop. First 5 of 2nd Hunter are finished. Hoping to have the 2nd half finished this week after which I plan to paint up Voss as a centre piece character. Sorry for the pic quality but only had my phone to hand for these. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps12bc2e99.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps57807c17.jpg Feed back and questions are as always more than welcome.

Augustus b'Raass Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Dude those are awesomely painted miniatures. And what are you talking about "Sorry for the picture quality": you've managed to make in focus macro shots of your miniatures in action - how much better do you want them? Is say: MOAR!

Fracture Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 MOAR you say? Managed to actually hit my target of finishing off the last of the squad on my days off. More dodgy camera phone shots I'm afraid, hope you like them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps760d1cd4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps2c497fd5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps20e3e347.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286237-send-the-eighth-28115-command-unit-finished/page/6/#findComment-3748775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Looking good Fracture! I love how rich and lush your midnight blues are. They look miles deep! Also, I really wish I could paint lightning as tiny and perfect as you can. Please keep up the awesome work! I do have a question for you. What size chain did you use on your Contemptor? I'm struggling to find one from a hobby store that isn't waaaay too big for pretty much the exact same purpose. Yours looks just the right size.

Augustus b'Raass Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Love it Fracture! Great flesh, great colour on the face and I totally dig the lascannon! What bit is that? Flint, perhaps these chains are up your isle?

Fracture Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hey guys, glad you both like them. Flint - I THINK the chain was the 0.96 MM stuff from Bases of War. All the other bits of chain are from either the chaos mounted marauder, flagellants or various DE kits. Augustus - I was rather happy when I found that old las cannon in a bits box. It's the metal weapon from the old old old legion of the damned set. I must have had that bit for about a decade.

MrBear Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The last bunch look smashing Fracture, my favourite is the lascannon guy though. That skincolour is really nice and that old lascannon... makes me wish I had one of those lying around Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286237-send-the-eighth-28115-command-unit-finished/page/6/#findComment-3749753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzdougs Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Excellent Night Lords! The lightning is really well done and the pale skin is excellent. You've also got a beautiful dark blue going on :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286237-send-the-eighth-28115-command-unit-finished/page/6/#findComment-3750033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thanks for all the comments guys, they really are appreciated. Work on the contemptor is going well, me and a few friends are hoping to have a campaign style weekend at Wayland later in the year so it's given me an incentive to get 1500 pts finished by November. Here are a few late night WIP shots of how the big man is coming along. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps6a74c099.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpse027e909.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286237-send-the-eighth-28115-command-unit-finished/page/6/#findComment-3767215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronotonic Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I like the contemptor dread you got going there as for the one legionnaire with the Chaplain helmet looks great I will be doing the samething with one of my guys now for the 96th company....haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286237-send-the-eighth-28115-command-unit-finished/page/6/#findComment-3767333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Great looking Contemptor! The chains around the left fist, the trophies and the flayed skin are all perfect.

Hyaenidae Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'm still mindblown about the Lascannon guy. He's.... just perfect. Drive on, brother. Death to the False Emperor.

Fracture Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Capitano & kizzdougs. - Cheers guys. Hoping to have him finished before I go on holiday this weekend. Looking forward to the fun gory details tomorrow evening. Augustus. - I really appreciate that mate. I really wasn't sure if my way of doing blue was going to scale up to the Contemptor well. Right until the final glaze I was sure I was going to cock it up, all turned out well in the end though. 1000heathens. - I was really chuffed when I found that old las cannon at the bottom of a box and it fitted well with just a bit of green stuffing. Also my guys actions are totally sanctioned by the big E, totally totally sanctioned.

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 What is your recipe, if I may ask. Actually for your blue, but also for your trophy flesh and for your facial flesh? I really like the deathly palor the lascannon guy has.

Peredyne Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 What is your recipe, if I may ask. Actually for your blue, but also for your trophy flesh and for your facial flesh? I really like the deathly palor the lascannon guy has. The blue formula is back on page 2. He actually gives a step by step for it. I'd like to know the formula for the facial flesh as well, though. I'm going to be doing a NL CSM army shortly.

Hellath Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Beautiful army so far! And really inspiring for my own NL army. May I ask where did the skulls hanging from ropes for the 2nd Hunter squad came from? Keep up the great work!

Fracture Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Augustus & Peredyne - the face is base coated in Administratum Grey and then washed with a mix of nightshade and nuln oil. It is then highlighted with Administratum with wych flesh added to high light up. The corpse flesh is base coated in cadian flesh time and then washed with Earthshade. Re highlight with cadian and add Kislev flesh to highlight. Once highlights are done add a glaze of Earthshade again. The flayed skin is based with Kislev flesh and gets a Carroburg Crimson wash. Re highlight with Kislev and add wych flesh until your using almost pure wych flesh. If people are interested I could do another step by step for these although they're pretty straight forward. Hellath - they're more than likely from the Hellion box set. Have a failed DE army myself and a girlfriend that collects them gives me a good source of chains and skulls etc. horde o bitz are great for these sort of things as well.
