[Pyroclast91]

all of the perpetrators of the Istvaan atrocities have a home in pieces on my bases lol the Leviathan I'm working in now is using a DG termi as a stepping stone :D

AS IT SHOULD BE!

Erm... I exclusively concentrate my efforts on the III Legion, for obvious reasons. I'll have a demi company of dead EC on my bases by the end of the month.

[Pyroclast91]

lol that's all my IH bases have on them but I figured I skulls mix it up and do more than just purple corpses but I do totally get your reason as a legion I really can't stand the IIIrd in RL I despise arrogance so naturally I wasn't a fan ;) Istvaan only made that worse

I decided to stick with the hand pattern. Here's my WIP conversion beamer

Iron Hands Contemptor Dreadnought (firing his conversion beamer at an Ork Flash Gitz): "THIS is what 'more dakka' looks like, feeble-minded xenos!"

I haven't painted for myself in a while, so I was glad to put my brush to good use this week. After trying 2-3 different schemes for my shattered legions Salamanders, I decided to go with the following, as it meshes well into my Iron Hands.

The brass trim and rivets helps break the black armour. Should I have more?

I would love some honest feedback as always and more particularly, would you do yellow or blue lenses? If neither, which colour and why?

Here's the scheme I originally went for:

[Pyroclast91]

The new scheme is awesome personally I've started to go away from using the more blue greens like caliban green and warpstone but that's personal preference as I like my drakes a little darker. As for eye lenses I always go fiery red unless it's a librarian since that's the way the salamanders eyes naturally glow. Awesome work so far man can't wait to see more

Thanks Pyro!

 

I went with yellow with orange fading after testing all the options and it works well I would say. I'll post pics before new years

Had a productive week!

By fire, BE PURGED!

These guys are pretty much done. I did some greenstuff work to include more flames and scales on the the bare braces and shoulderpads.

And this guy is my first firedrake in progress, working on the flames, scales are next!

Thanks!

 

Here's the process for the black:

 

1. Base coat black - this is very important, as the mix will come out too light of you apply it directly.

 

2.Mix leadbelcher/abbadon black 50/50 or 60/40 depending on how much you want the silver to shine through.

 

3. Wash army painter dark tone, twice. Make sure to let dry at least an hour between coats. Lighter coats are preferable to heavy, as too much accumulation will make black spots in cracks.

 

4. Apply Tamya Smoke Clear coat. You can apply a little less on near the edges to get a highlight effect.

Heed it's harbinger, bearing the Standard of the orphaned sons bringing despair to the craven followers of the Warmaster!
