Molokai Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nice sgt Armond. There's plenty on him without being crowded. I like it. Can't wait to see some of your stuff with paint mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Will start painting the two models to look for my scheme. Hopefully alongside assembling I will be paintin those two, we shall see what looks most grand lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Did you decide what color you will use for the wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Not done, just getting an idea of what I like/dislike. Â I think I like it. Â No metallics as of right now, for now it is basically base colors. Â Does my blue make me look Midnight Clad to you? Â ;) Â Anyway, enjoy. Â C&C always welcome, He is maybe 50% done in terms of overall. Â Just a guess though. Â https://fbcdn- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molokai Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The paintwork on the helm faceplate is awesome. Great blue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Awesome! Praise coming from you guys pretty much cements my thoughts on the color. I actually had an even darker blue, but I couldnt even tell it was blue at all, so I had to use something a tad brighter. I tried a tiny bit of lightning, I didn't want him covered in it and the faceplate I figured to keep it simple. Â I will keep going in this direction and see what I can come up with as I progress on the NLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 What colours did you use to achieve that shade of blue if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Looks Good are you using GW paint or Vallejo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Vallejo/Game Color, imperial blue specifically. I think the number is 20. This is over a black primer, slightly watered down, no washes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 That is what I thought Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armond Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 You have a good eye deathspectre, dead on. Â I have been a part of the family for a long time, at least in my heart, I just didn't invest in them money-wise because of the high cost. Â But now, I have plenty to work on and will hopefully be meeting heathens and his Iron Warriors on the field one day. Â I just wish I had more time to invest in them, but my wife and kids deserve my time as well. Â So I have to divide it up smartly. Â Â I will try to put together the rest of the 13 members of this first tactical squad sometime this week or next week. Â Â I put the coat of blue on the Sgt, and will start messing with him a bit too. Â Plus, I need to figure out what basing scheme I want to use. Â Should be easy enough.

Armond Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Figured heck, why not start on the Sgt of the same tactical squad as the Vexilla. Â Enjoy, C&C welcome. Â He is NOT done, plenty left to do! Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It looks excellent. Only reason I'm shying away from using game colour is the need to splash matte varnish over it to get rid of the OTT gloss effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quixus Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Looks like Anvil Industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It is, I've got a set, they're pretty good as it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 That is correct, anvil industry, I like it and th quality is great, almost. I clean up required. Â Not sure about the gloss you are talking about, it seems pretty matte already. Are my eyes deceiving me? Â Anyway, this guy is not totally done, just wanted to post this and pretty much decide I am sticking with the scheme. Â Thoughts on the Legion symbol being white/offwhite skull with grey wings instead of red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secretpaintgeek Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Looking good! Like the blue and the legion emblem looks cool without the usual red wings. Keep em coming :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Oh might just be me then, I used Night Blue on my test model and it was about as glossy as could be expected. No idea whether that was due to the paint itself or some other reason.  Re - Legion Symbol. Go with whatever you want. The elite in my particular collection are going to have the symbol in a black and cobalt style since I liked how the description of it sounded in Void Stalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Did you shake it up/open it up and mix it? It seems to separate inside in the paint container and the part that comes out of the nozzle is only a partial mix. I do like that darker legion symbol, and it fits with the specific mission these guys are tasked with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trysanna Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Looking good. I really like the way you've done the lightning! And the black and white legion sumbol (almost called it a chapter symbol!) is very unique. Looking forward to seeing the rest. -Tarvik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yup made a special point of having it on a palette especially to mix but no matter, I've got another test model to do anyway because I want to try other highlighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
