Love the Salamanders!!!

[SpiralingCadaver]

Thanks! Yeah, they're a lot of fun to work on.

 

My first Dreadnought in at least a couple years... (notes)

These Salamanders...

[SpiralingCadaver]

Thanks

Been a while, some AC devastators (more for variety than actually using them as a squad...) and the usual notes

[Rojo]

Excellent work as usual!

[SpiralingCadaver]

Thanks

So, this was a rather unusual one I got asked to work on, I think he came out pretty well (notes & green)

Rounding out the SH collection, done with everything except a few duplicates and maybe conversions down the line... (notes)

Some fine work overall, but I especially like the teal-turquoise hammer.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Yeah, really striking effect!

 

:D

bs

[Sir Perfluous]

All Space Hulk terminators look beautiful, but those especially. Awesome stuff, SpiralingCadaver - I could stare at those for ages! I second (third, I suppose) the opinion on the hammer. Fantastic work, as is everything on this thread.

Oh, also, if you don't tell me the recipe for that red I will beat it out of you.

Yeah, really striking effect!

Is that... a pun? I honestly can't work out if it's awful or beautiful.

The two are not mutually exclusive. ;)

[SpiralingCadaver]

Thanks all (and for the pun, Stobz, would've asked if Perfluous hadn't).

 

Glad about the turquoise- for some reason, that color just really clicks for me, makes it really straightforward to paint.

 

On the red, I'm not positive since it's all by feel, but something along the lines of (in probably outdated GW colors since they've changed their names faster than I can use paint)...

 

blood red w/ a tiny bit of scorched brown, as a base

add wazdakka(? cold red) and more scorched brown for a shade

more s brown and some black for the darkest shade

 

back to the base with a touch of bubonic brown, for the first highlight

more bubonic brown added to highlights until it's light orange

around 50/50 yriel and bubonic for the extreme highlight

[Sir Perfluous]

Ah, thanks. And they told me that threatening people would never get me anywhere!

 

It's a great colour - I'm having a hard time getting my red to stop looking as though the Marine applied his Agrax Earthshade mascara with too big a brush. I'll give your method a shot.

 

Thanks!

[SpiralingCadaver]

Well, winners still don't do drugs...or something. Actually, no. I take that back, there are certainly some inebriants that facilitate creative stuff. Hmm, wrecking all those preconceptions.

 

And yeah, I guess the big thing is using warm dark brown and yellow brown, since black will desaturate and yellow tends to be thin.

Your work on the Zelda themed marines looks really good. You've managed to tie together the imagery of both styles and creat something that is much more than the sum of its parts!

[SpiralingCadaver]

Thanks! he was a lot of fun, I've got a few other similar reference conversions

 

next up, a pretty heavily converted demon prince (notes + WIPs)
