Z00Z Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Good day brothers, long time reader, first time poster. Looking forward to the new codex and releases as most are. A little concerned if they take some of the grey hunter uniqueness away, like the CC weapon, banners etc. Would leave the flavour very plain and similar to vanilla. I've built a large GH based army. I'll post some of my painted models in next few days. Just wanted to finally introduce myself.... :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293878-new-brother/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hail brother and welcome to B&C. I'm just a visitor here, greeting the new guy as it were. I'll be off now, there's tankards to duck on my way out escape.

Kasper_Hawser Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Welcome to the pack brother! I won't ask you NOT to worry about the new codex, because I'm damn scared as well, but as always, no matter what happens, we sons of Russ will use our cunning and hidden strengths to overcome whatever shortcomings the evil overlords at Geedub throws at us. And you won't be alone. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293878-new-brother/#findComment-3747839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squark Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Eh, the only genuinely "scary" thing I've seen is sagas being turned into warlord traits. I mean, we'd complain about them being removed, but we'd move on. But turning them into Warlord traits? Complete with integrated downsides? Head, meet Wall.

Captain Coolpants Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Why hello! And I agree with the grey hunters and the CC wepaons. I think they'll remove them, but do something like they already do with chaos Marines, and wolves will have to pay a point or 2 each to gain the extra cc weapon / attack. Which isn't thaaat bad... But I'd rather not lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293878-new-brother/#findComment-3747894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z00Z Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thank you brothers. SW is my first 40K army, only started it up last year, still learning as I go along. You will see from the pics I've made quite a few mistakes on the shoulder markings etc. Learning the fluff as I'm going along, so please feel free to comment both good and bad, its all part of the learning experience as a young pup from you old dogs ;-) http://i.imgur.com/4ORjctZ.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/w6jPk3g.jpg?2 http://i.imgur.com/CKpuOSt.jpg http://i.imgur.com/CwUPn90.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xenEqTT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VrEAQeR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OcNKo4B.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293878-new-brother/#findComment-3747982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hail and welcome, young one! May your stay here be fun, educational, and enjoyable! Your painting is better than I can do, however I would ask about shading and what not. Again, better than I can do!

Baulder Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Welcome brother. Models are looking good, particularly like the weathering on the vehicles. Not over the top and looks great.

Squark Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Indeed, although that Rhino feels rather spartan. Maybe add some pack markings or transfers? Edit: Unless you're referring to something you painted over, I don't see any mistakes with the heraldry. Well, it's kind of odd to have Logan fighting alongside Ragnar's wolf guard, but its certainly happened, and I don't think your opponents will mind.

Leif Bearclaw Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Well, you got the Crux Terminatus on the correct shoulder, I've seen people, supposed hobby 'veterans' get that wrong before, and it's rather facepalm worthy. I'm going to refer specifically to your Logan and Njal here, the rest of the stuff you've posted looks fine. While you've done a good job on the fur, the rest of your highlighting is something of a mixed bag. The yellow on Logan's Storm Bolter case needs more highlighting, it doesn't look like there is any. The armour highlights and Njal's holster are too bright, resulting in a somewhat chalky look. I've had this problem when using Fenrisian Grey as a highlight colour, mixing it with some Russ Grey (or whatever colour you're using on the armour just before the highlight), darkens the apint, reducing the contrast and giving you a more natural looking highlight. Also, I'd give Njal's face a stronger wash, and wash Logan's axe handle. Of course this is all just my opinion, and it's entirely possible the pics make the issues I've mentioned worse, so feel free to follow/ignore my ramblings as you see fit. Edit: Wasn't happy with some of the tone, came across more confrontational and critical than I'd intended.

Dantay VI Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Welcome to the Aett!! Your models look great and I especially like the bases on Logan & Njal. You have the grey down really smooth on the rhino and the drop pod, is it air-brushed?

I've had this problem when using Fenrisian Grey as a highlight colour Thankyou brother, exactly sort of critical feedback I was hoping to get. With switching off GW to Vallejo and moving to airbrushing I foung highlighting shading and chalkyness a challenge. I think ive overcome that now so ill have to send more progress pics. The ones I posted were WIP. I found using oil based washes and pastel chalk powder for weathering helped a lot :-) Ill take some more pics this weekend, but you were spot on with your observations. Thank you all brothers for your warm welcomes and commentary!

Z00Z Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 as promised, completed HQ's with shadows and shading completed, just the bolters to drill out and final highlights. I had to build an old-school RP in TDA, just for the runes :-) http://i.imgur.com/c5whWEH.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293878-new-brother/#findComment-3752881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
