LongGone Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Can I ask how you are painting your gold/brass? It seems... muted (but not in a bad way). Hell, how are you painting any of your metallics? Are they even metallic? NMM would go a long way in explaining why they seem muted to my aspirant painter eyes. Or did you make a deal with warp fiends? Either way, I like it. World Eaters strike me as a legion that would shun ornamentation, and you've found the sweet spot between plain armor and in your face *bling*.

howardmonsoonmoon Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi, most all of the metals are simply leadbelcher or balthasar gold from gw, I then wash then with agrax earhshade mixed with some decal fix ( though I suppose matt varnish would do ) this flattens it off and really dulls it down. I repeat the trick with some badab black if needs be. For infantry the metals get a mixture of brown / dark grey / black oil washes at the same time as the white armour. I wanted to avoid any hilighting on the models in the army, including the metals as I wanted to see if I could tell most of the models story with weathering and shadow to try and recreate the look in the forgeworld artwork. The Spartan is finished also try and get some pictures up tomorrow !

LongGone Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Good Sir, consider the story told! I'll have to remember that method once I start painting my own World Eaters.

Relict Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Well done on the Praetor and the Dreadnought. That just might be the first "regular" Dreadnought (as opposed to a Contemptor) that looks good in World Eaters colors.

howardmonsoonmoon Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Just finished (after a break) my terminator praetor, I did the mk3 armour one in the pack and the terminator guy has been sitting in the backround making me feel guilty that such a nice model was half done. The arms are magnatized so i can swap the paragon blade for a combi weapon or swap the hammer for the volkite weapon that comes in the pack, i have also left the door open for things like lightning claws etc etc later. I have some cataphrachi ( can never spell that word) on the desk half done at the moment. I really want to add some destroyers next. They don't seem overly competitive, from a rules point of view, or rather they seem over priced. I am torn between ten man with jump pack or the cheaper ten men with a rhino to deliver them ? Any thoughts ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292816-pre-heresy-world-eaters/page/3/#findComment-3783134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Destroyers are fun but yeah they are a bit overcosted! As to jump packs or Rhino to field them magnets are your friend :P Mine are magnetised and it wasn't too hard to do.

howardmonsoonmoon Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Cheers for the comments as always. After a week of late night painting I have finally someone to ride in the spartan .... My terminators... I keep them as a fairly close combat orientated squad, with just the plasma blaster added for a bit of ranged. I added it more because its an option that just isnt availible in 40k and well they say variety is the spice of life. In addition this squad is obviously going after fairly hard targets and a pair of plasma shots on the way in i dont think will hurt. I went with a red glow for the plasma coils after some debate as the army already has quite a cool blue palette and the OSL on the tank lights is blue so i thought it might get a bit lost if it was also the classic blue.

howardmonsoonmoon Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 All Sorry there has been a little break in proceedings I have been a bit busy lately, but my 12th legion has continued to grow and below is some stuff i have been working on... My Moritat, he was a bit of an impulse purchase but I proxied him in a game against my brother and the hiliraity of a guy pistolling to death a knight was some funny I thought i had to make a real one ! and some mkii assualt marines.
