Bmseifer Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hi So I made a vow painting up som delicious models for a Guardian of the Covenant army. The models to paint are seen in the picture below: http://i58.tinypic.com/2yxoz8i.jpg So I made a test model and like to hear what you guys think. It's not finsihed yet but I wanted to see how the metal and the red turned out. I'm thinking of maybe making the red more red maybe..if you know what I mean http://i59.tinypic.com/28jrqb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbenner Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I like that red, it's more what I think of with Dark Angels and Red in general, we're not bright and Shiny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yeah, umm, that's red is....perfect for GotC and DA, imo, it's spot on :tu: Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmseifer Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Glad you guys approved on the red. It's the only red I have atm :) Khorne red and Wazdakka red with some shading done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shubniggurath Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I think it looks awesome, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenz Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Nicely done. Very menacing, I really enjoy that color scheme. And I really like the wings on the chest icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It's a good tone of red, you can however try to highlight here and there with a lighter shade of red, if you are not totally pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Wow, it looks stunning ... keep them coming :yes:. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgrin Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Awesome color scheme and really nice painting, I like the chest eagle, and the red is just as it should be, not too bright, not too flat ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 A worthy color scheme for an Unforgiven Chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmseifer Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks for the comments. I'm almost done with the first 5-man squad. I have a few details and the bases left to do before I post a pic. After that it's time for the dreadnoughts. I think I'm going to be using the black and red to give each squad some individuality by alternating them on shoulders/heads and whatnot. Also I'm thinking about adding some weathering and scratches to the armours, would that be suitable to these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yep I think some weathering would be appropriate - just don't overdo it. It can look too theatrical if overdone I think - and your look/scheme is more realistic in vein. I'd be interested in how you did the black (is it just straight from the pot and then washed over?) and bone areas. I see you've used a wash extensively, but over what? Best I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmseifer Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 If you mean the black on the shoulders it's just black a bit thinned down painted on the metal brushed base, allowing some of the metal shine through at the edges as highlight. The bone is based with .. "A bone color" :) at work atm and don't remember name, washed with agrax earthshade, highlighted with bone and then white. And finished with a wash of seraphim sepia. I don't have a lot of colors so I have to manage with those I have :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 First off: Welcome to the Rock :D You are doing very well with that limited palette Bm, keep it up and you will have a very cool little detachment in your collection. :tu: I think the limited palette actuall helps maintain a cohesive feel to an army so you're on to a good thing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmseifer Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 @Stobz: Thank you! But I don't know about that 'little' detachment since I reckon I got over 5.000pts to paint still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well get back to work then ;) (and good luck with such a large project) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmseifer Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 A WIP pic on the first squad. Still some minor detailing to do. What do you think would be a suitable color for the eye-lenses? http://i62.tinypic.com/143jp08.jpg And I'm having problems with my camera and getting a deeper focus span as you can see. Any tips on what settings to use? I have a Canon EOS 600D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I use green for the GotC. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerroneth Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I use green for the GotC. Cheers, Jono Same here, even if I did use a somewhat different paint scheme I just do a base of Moot Green, a wash of Biel-Tan, and then pick out a dot of Moot Green at the corner.

Isiah Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hell's teeth Bmseifer - they are looking sexy!! How about a bright blue for the lenses? Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djgoldsmith Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Got to admit that is a killer paint scheme, and extremely well painted too. Looking forward to seeing the next phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_angel Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Re camera settings: Set it to av priority before selecting a setting between f8 - f10. Should the trick to get better depth of field. Might need something steady to balance the camera though. Awesome job on the minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmseifer Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 @Cerroneth, Isiah, Grotsmasha: Thanks for the tips, I will try both green and blue on a test model. Don't have good colors for it though so will have to order some :) @digoldsmith: Thank you! @lost_angel: Aight thanks, I will try that next time!
