gaurdian31 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Those do indeed count and look nice. Love the poses. Are the hooked axes from the Sons of Horus set? Also do these guys also have the nails? I assume so even if they are loyalist, but just thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Why was I not informed about this thread??? Seriously though. Flint: Very nice models. I love the librarian and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your cataphractii termies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Alright folks, here's the test scheme for my first breacher. Some learning points for me: 1.) I'm done with anything but black primer. 2.) I love inks. I tried a brown one on the Sycorax bronze, and it makes it look miles richer. 3.) I still haven't figured out battle damage yet. Pics are a tad dark, but I'm sure you'll get the idea. The Get of Da'kian are a brash, arrogant lot, but brutally effective. The feudal world they came from still commands their traditions of honor and haughty glory-seeking. They hold any enemy in contempt and show it with their loud red crests and highlights. The squad will all share a little red X over their heart. "Shoot here... if you can manage even that." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/196/p6qg.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/827/ql8n.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/842/xvfc.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/198/xtvo.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/829/8hss.jpg Replies! @ Vazzy - Glad to hear it. These should be a fun break from librarians for me. @ Helterskelter - Oh, that's a good idea! I'll play around with a bit of tasteful gore and see what I can do @ Jaspcat - Bring it! @ Barabbas - Gotcha, that clears things up. And thanks! @ Koriel - The wonderful world of Ebay bits sellers. Those are all breacher sergeant heads. HH bits are a bit rarer than the plastic GW variety, but helpful once I find them. @ gaurdian31 - The hook axes are from the World Bearers' Ashen Circle. I think they're called axe rakes. I was tired of everyone else stealing the World Eaters' chainaxe thunder, so I decided to take it back! Also, I'm not 100% if my WE have the nails yet or not. I am thinking of a line of fluff wherein the Cuth'vasi and a few other races within the World Eaters band together and go loyalist renegade because of various genetic quirks that make the nails non or mal-functional when implanted in them specifically. @ Augustus - Oh, sorry about that! I have to take a little midnight clad break every now and again. Glad to hear you like it. More terminators are on the painting table once I finish up these breachers, actually.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 2.) I love inks. I tried a brown one on the Sycorax bronze, and it makes it look miles richer. For the gold/bronze side of the metals, purple ink also does wonders with bringing out some more of that richness and it's good for shading as well, but be sure to thin it down and use several layers to make sure you control it.

I prefer washes or thinned paint. Doesn't pool as much or dry with a gloss finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I mainly use the OOP GW washes myself, but I still have some purple ink I use now and then and I thin it way down and add a surfactant to it, like a drop of Future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, as I have discovered m'shen didn't get you too miss flint (so quiet for ages I was beginning to think the officio assassinorum had got you) a mild shameless plug, with purpose. You inspired me to start up NL again, aswell as many on this hallowed forum inspiring me to try other Ideas. So as a thankyou, you all may feature in some way.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 As far as the old GW inks, I still have some Chestnut around here somewhere, but this is what I break out when the Leviathan Purple won't cut it: http://i.imgur.com/JJVf6g3.jpg?1 Long ago, before I got into 40k, I took a couple of private airbrush lessons(for painting on art board, not miniatures) and we used a lot of inks, and this is all I have left of those original purchases. Unfortunately, the Luma line of watercolor inks was discontinued a while ago, so this has become very precious to me. Mine. My own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I like the painting on the Breacher, but I think the shoulder pads looks a little naked without insignias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 This is a very cool project, I love the amount of fluff detail you're putting in. The minis are looking good, too, that's a nice bronze you've got on the armour trim. The bloody handprint on your librarian's helm is amazing. Looking forward to seeing more!

Flint13 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Wow, thanks guys. @ Jasp - I was actually thinking of alternating them. A few with bright blue, a few with white shields. @ Forte - Glad to hear it... you old goat ^_^ @ BCK - I've got a little purple ink going on in the recesses of the shield and shoulderpads. I admit I never thought to try it on my bronzes. I'll have to play around with that! @ forte (2) - I'm still torn between the two. I use a matte varnish, so gloss isn't a huge issue @ Brother Molokai - Thanks! I'll do my best to make it snappy. @ Helterskelter - Wow, that's some praise. I'll admit I needed a little break from the midnight clad. Don't worry though, I'm just recharging my batteries. I can't wait to see what mini-midnight-me looks like ^_^ @ Barabbas - Yeah, I'll agree. I kinda want to try free hand on them, but I'm waiting for my legion pads in the mail... Those are kinda place holders atm @Kvlt Ghost - Thanks! That silly hand print took me about half a dozen tries to get right, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

Flint13 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Guys, guys! I think I'm starting to get this "painting white" thing down. Evidence: My 2nd breacher. Also, my first steps at 1kHeathen's style white battle damage ^_^ http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/203/4ul8.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/849/3gm9.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/69/lu4q.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/46/uucu.jpg @ Paladin - Thanks!

gaurdian31 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Really liking your white and the bronze came out very nice. I think I like the white shield a little more, but a squad of alternating blue and white like you were talking about will look good I think. Can you do a group shot of the two?
