our_baz Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Update Time. Contrast paints are done. Finished off with Militarum Green for the Berets two coats, Flesh tearers red on the lasguns and black legion for the boots and belt. For me this has taken next to no time at all two 1hr sessions so far.

The Pounder Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Looking good baz! Very smooth! I’m thinking of using Contrast paints on my Seraphon. Which undercoat would you suggest? our_baz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Thanks @Jud Cottrell. Seraphon were made for contrast or similar you will be able to knock out some great looks with those models. For base coat it depends on the look you want, "cool" looking grey seer, "warm" wraithbone, vibrant "white scar". I'm not a heavy user of contrast but I've dabbled with them on the 40K line. I've used them more extensively on Blood Bowl models (but obs cant show them here). This tyrranofex used grey seer as the base and contrast on all the colours bar the green spikes and teeth. Spoiler From now on if im just using contrast I prefer to put on basecoat down then add a zenithal (or drybrush) a lighter colour on top. It gives a great effect (see tabletop minions on you tube great vid on this) These Mordians were black undercoat and white dry brush. In all honesty not a great effect. Needed two coats of red. Spoiler This DW marine in primed in grey (Halfords Grey Primer, close(ish) to dawnstone) then applied a zenithal of grey seer. The Black is Army Painter Speedpaint grim black, the blue on the coil is also an Army Painter speed paint Magic blue. Flesh is GW G'man flesh., orange is GW Gryph hound orange. Spoiler For serpahon, I would deffo go with a base then a zenithal. The choice of both really depends on the colours you are going to use. Also not all contrast paints are really contrast paints some are more like washes, and some are closer to base paints and don't give as much "depth".

The Pounder Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Cheers baz! Really appreciate your in-depth response. I’ve found a can of Wraith bone spray so I’ll go with that! our_baz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrKoolPants Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 The simple swap with the Anvil Industry rifle and the beret heads is so simple and tasty. I love the striking scheme, I'm sure it looks amazing on the tabletop when all your mustachio'd boys are together! our_baz and The Pounder 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Looking good baz! Like LtColKool has said the subtle conversion and kitbashing really make them look like your own. our_baz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 Thanks both. It’s a minor kitbash with the heads rifles and sights. Just wanted something a little different for my vet squads, hopefully there still a thing come the new codex. Not even sure Anvil still makes those rifles and sights it was so long ago I picked them up. All done now after a cheeky dry brush and base.

our_baz Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Thanks @Slave to Darkness, I do also have another squad or two (I can't remember the specifics) of Mordians and a Mordian HWT to paint in this scheme too. to go with the others that I have already completed. 5 more for the mill here, although I do find it rather ironic that by the time I've got these Vets painted the squad will be invalid in the new codex, oh well!

our_baz Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 So, I'm now returning to painting armour. It's been ~4-5 years i think since I last painted an IG tank. To be honest I'd kinda forgotten how I achieved it. After a looking at my last completed LRBT I've figure it out. The key was big(ish) areas to keep the colour permutations to a minimum. Previous Spoiler Urban Dazzle is back on the menu, I do enjoy difficult paint schemes for a horde army! I haven't got an airbrush or painters tape, so I've broke out a HB pencil and a ruler and made merry with line drawing. I used an Army Painter (Regiment) Brush for the bulk and a Rosemary and Co (Red Dot Size 1) for the lining in (As a side note these two are quickly coming my fav brushes esp the Rosemary and Co). The first side is done, and now moving onto the Hull. Thanks for looking Spoiler spafe, duz_, GreenScorpion and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Scheme looks great baz! Can't wait to see more When I did similar for my Raven Guard I found 3rd part wide flat brushes and average masking tape to really help. You don't want the good masking tape it pulls up the paint. The average stuff keeps the paint separate but doesn't hold tight enough to ruin your precious work our_baz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Well its taken 7 years and I now have two painted LRBT's. Its surprising from my stand point to see how my painting style has evolved over the years. I've still got one more LRBT that needs painting so I'll pencil that in for 2030.

Solution our_baz Posted May 9, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted May 9, 2023 So question for the barracks. I picked up box of Krieg at the weekend, with a plan to convert them (new heads) and have them as part of my AM army. Nothing drastic there. Looking at the AM fraction release yesterday, reading between the lines the classic "infantry squad" (if an index unit) will be allowed to have one SW /10 models as the the Cadian Shock troops can take 2 SW / 10 models. Would the fraters agree with that hypothesis. Second question and this relates to how I will build the Kreig models. Cadian Shock troops were added to the 9th Codex as a new INF choice. Do you have to use the new Cadian Shock Troops models in order to run "Shock Troops". Or could any units modelled differently from the standard INF squad with 2 SW be ran (proxied) as "Cadian Shock Troops"? duz_ and Emperor Ming 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Ming Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Yes to your first question There's never a defining answer for proxies, I never had a problem as long as they are clear and explained, but events on the other hand, who knows I never quote the rule of cool either because, you could end up up putting a load of effort and love into a proxy/conversion, just to be told no by an event. I always generally convert stuff, but never alter proportions or height/base or anything out of the ordinary, and generally 99.9% of times its all fine I cant see any problem with using x as y guardsmen. our_baz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 For me with proxies it's a matter of consistency If you want non new cadian models to be shock troopers seems fine to me. However, don't go also use those same models as a different entry as well. Tbh I think it's absurd that different kits of infantry equal different unit entires. That's just me... our_baz and Emperor Ming 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 @duz_ i see were you are coming from. The main thing that is/was confusing me is that the current INF offering from GW is currently kreig, catachan and shock troops. The claasic INF squad isn't an option from GW. So to me does that mean the shock troop kit is it be used as both classic infantry squad and shock troop squads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hrmm yes.. So if you take the approach: I'm a new player I only have the new Shock Trooper kit, what happens if I want to run both units with the same kit... Ermmm... Dunno Might be a good one for the OR... Good luck our_baz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Exactly...confused. Or tin foil hat time, if GW don't sell a AM infantry squad set will it be an option come 10th. Anyway back to my question, the proxy will be obvious those boys in red with the bear skins they are shock troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
