jah-joshua Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 thanks, guys... here we go... almost done:)... having glued the arm on, the photos are a bit better, with the one little piece (the arm) being less "in your face", and the harmony of all four main components making for a more pleasant piece to look at... i can't wait to put the jump pack and wings on:)... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangbody47_zps31ac7ec7.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangbody48_zps8e010f7a.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangbody49_zpsd499b275.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangbody50_zps9c7bf8c7.jpg thanks for looking... i hope you like what you see... cheers jah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292194-jahminis-and-now-im-making-your-silver-pants-blue/page/5/#findComment-3811039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Blade Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Very nice job on the SP! Do you have any stage by stage pics of your Grey Knights armour?

jah-joshua Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 thanks, Grimm Blade... unfortunately, i don't have any step-by-step shot of my Grey Knights... the next time i paint one, i'll be sure to photograph the stages... so, the jump pack is glued on, now it's time to finish the wings... i'm not sure if i am happy with the broad highlight on the main engine housing, but i will let it ruminate for a bit while i do the wings... i may need to do a very thin final highlight down the middle of the curve... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangbody51_zps957d1937.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangbody52_zps399ea534.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangbody53_zps7ed43b77.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangbody54_zps2d10faaa.jpg thanks for looking, and taking the time to comment... cheers jah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292194-jahminis-and-now-im-making-your-silver-pants-blue/page/5/#findComment-3813840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah-joshua Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 hey B&C... as i put the finishing touches onto the Sang. Priest, and get ready to jump back into painting Dante, i am finishing the builds on the first set of vehicles for Strike Force Cassius... these are almost ready for some spray-can action... i just need to file a few more mould lines, and fill a couple little gaps... the sponson weapons are not glued together yet, as i want to be sure i can get good coverage on all the fiddly bits, but are pushed together to give the client a little something more solid to look at than a pile of random bits... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Stormravenparts2_zpsd8e0cccd.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/LandRaiderparts2_zps4304b966.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Stalkerparts2_zps3cb47ee6.jpg i hope everyone is having a good weekend:)... cheers jah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292194-jahminis-and-now-im-making-your-silver-pants-blue/page/5/#findComment-3814541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

geektom Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Wow... Just, wow! You have some SERIOUS brush skills, amigo. Thank you for being so generous with your time and sharing of your step by step process. I will be following this thread closely. I don't hear many people talking about the Privateer paints- that is what you are using, correct? What do you like about them?

jah-joshua Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 thanks, geektom... P3 paint, to me, has the best range of unique tones on the market... every color has an interesting undertone, like the blues or browns in the greys... when you mix a bunch of water a drop of the paint, and let it sit for a bit, you will see the undertones clearly... Greatcoat Grey, for example, has a lot of blue in it, while Bastion Grey has a lot of brown, and Cryx Bane Base has a lot of green, yet they are all greys... this runs through the whole line... also the basic liquid pigments in the paint make for a very smooth paint, with awesome coverage... carrying on, i got the wings nearly done... i just need to tweak the little shadows on the feathers a bit, and get the last layer of pure white down... next i will be doing the step-by-step for the skull and base:)... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangwings1_zpse70285f9.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Sangwings2_zps7f35dd83.jpg thanks for looking, and taking the time to comment... cheers jah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292194-jahminis-and-now-im-making-your-silver-pants-blue/page/5/#findComment-3819099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah-joshua Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 hey B&C... i got the skull for the base done... i went with the browner greys, so the color would not compete with the white on the Sanguinary Priest... step one was the same as the whites, with a basecoat of pure P3 Greatcoat Grey... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/skull_zps94864e1a.jpg step two was a coat of pure P3 Bastion Grey, leaving a bit of the basecoat showing where i wanted to define the recessed areas... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/skull1_zps7dd0ea5a.jpg step three was a layer of pure P3 Trollblood Highlight, covering a little less area than step two... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/skull2_zpsa546a185.jpg the final step, number four, was a 1-3 mix of Trollblood Highlight and P3 Morrow White... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/skull3_zps8e469f50.jpg and that's it, a well defined skull, that is not too bright, so should not draw the eye away from the helmet of the Priest... next up, the base, and then final pics!!! thanks for looking... i hope everyone had a good weekend... cheers jah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292194-jahminis-and-now-im-making-your-silver-pants-blue/page/5/#findComment-3820483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jah-joshua Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 thanks, guys... @Leonidus: i only have one Demon, and a bunch of Finalist pins... i have been travelling the world for 25 years, chasing waves and women;), so i have only been able to enter a couple Golden Demon contests... i want to compete a lot more, but the travel bug is hard to kick... i got the Sang. Priest done, but still have to finish assembly... until then i have a couple of last step-by-steps to share... this one is for the rock under his foot... i started with a base of P3 Bloodstone... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Rock_zps5e323d2f.jpg the first layer is a 2-1 mix of Bloodstone and P3 Menoth White Highlight... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Rock1_zpsd30c9963.jpg this was then given a wash using the old GW Ogryn Flesh wash... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Rock2_zpseb3c3b96.jpg the next layer was a 1-1 mix of my highlight color... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Rock3_zpsb73716fb.jpg followed by a 1-2 mix of the same... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Rock4_zpsc950a7fb.jpg then another wash layer to tone it down a bit, and blend things together... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Rock5_zps6c1552a5.jpg and finally, a bit of pure Menoth White Highlight to make the corners pop... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Rock6_zps74da1faf.jpg hopefully, you guys think it looks good;)... i'll share the step-by-step for the actual base tomorrow, and then reveal the finished product this weekend:)... thanks for looking... cheers jah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292194-jahminis-and-now-im-making-your-silver-pants-blue/page/5/#findComment-3824173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah-joshua Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 hey B&C... here is the quick rundown of the base... same colors as the rock... now it just needs a little grass, once the mini is glued on... basecoat is P3 Bloodstone... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Base_zps09c4d1ac.jpg then a layer of GW Ogryn Flesh... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Base2_zps7c253199.jpg next, a drybrush layer of 2-1 Bloodstone and P3 Menoth White Highlight... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Base1_zps4f218f1d.jpg then a drybrush of the same at 1-2... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Base3_zpse26a0cb5.jpg another layer of wash... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Base4_zps4808fff8.jpg then a drybrush of pure Menoth White Highlight... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Base5_zps6b83a9a8.jpg and finished by cleaned up the side with some P3 Thamar Black... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Base6_zps635dcae7.jpg easy peazy, lemon squeezy... the spot where the sand is missing is where the mini will be glued down, and the random hole in the sand is where a clump of tall grass will go... then a little static grass around the rock, plus a random spot clump and there, and he will be good to go... next update will be the finished mini!!! thanks for sticking with me:)... cheers jah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292194-jahminis-and-now-im-making-your-silver-pants-blue/page/5/#findComment-3824941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widowmaker Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Beautiful work! The Sang Priest has an astounding level of detail, yet the way you've broken down the steps make it seem like we could all do it. Kinda.... :D So, when you paint your armies, do you do each mini individually, or do you batch paint? Cos I imagine an army of guys at this level of detail would take quite a while to complete. Looking forward to seeing what's next!
