LutherMax Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Another evening of painting power swords by hand. It really is very time consuming... Grazcruzk 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aothaine Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'll be getting an air brush... and a second job so I can just pay someone else to build/paint some things. More specifically my Custodes. Silverson 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGSides Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'll be getting an air brush... and a second job so I can just pay someone else to build/paint some things. More specifically my Custodes. I got an airbrush for the holiday this year.... and it sits in a box. It's a very intimidating tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Oh believe me, I am no stranger to the world of slow painters - by hand or otherwise :D I'm actually doing these by hand as a kind of personal challenge. It's the Encarmine swords on my second SG squad. No part of them has been airbrushed - just for a change and to try out some new techniques. Whether I do it this way again or revert to airbrush and masking tape will depend on the finished result - of which you guys will be the judges ;) Blindhamster 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aothaine Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Yeah I am eager to jump into the Air brush world. The plasma effects it can produce are just jaw dropping. Also, I'm planning on using color scheme close to neonmole's grim dark blood angels. Love the muted look they have. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherMax Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) WIP pics or it didn't happen Luther! Ask and you shall receive! Exhibit A is the sword on the left where I've just blocked out the dark blue and white. Exhibit B is the one on the right which I've blended using the mid-tone blue. Exhibit C is the piece of sprue in the background which I used to practice on http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Sanguinary-Guard-WIP-05-768x768.jpg Edited July 6, 2017 by LutherMax Grazcruzk, Arkhanist, WarriorFish and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhanist Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Yeah I am eager to jump into the Air brush world. The plasma effects it can produce are just jaw dropping. Also, I'm planning on using color scheme close to neonmole's grim dark blood angels. Love the muted look they have. I've upgraded to a far too expensive H&S infinity, and I've still not dared doing the classic plasma glow for fear of messing up the rest of the paintjob with an errant splat or heavy trigger finger! It is a gorgeous tool to use though, so much easier to control (and strip down for cleaning) than a cheap one. I just don't understand how the pros avoid needing to run the nozzle through a sonic cleaner every 2 or 3 of colours, I always clog up so quickly despite rinsing though at each change.

LutherMax Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) I've got an H&S Infinity and a 105 Patriot. I swapped the 0.15 needle / nozzle on the H&S for a 0.2mm which helps with the clogging. Here's some plasma glow I did with it: http://www.braintyrefire.com/personal/w40k/Blood-Angels/Blood-Angels-Veteran-Tactical-Sergeant-02.jpg Edited July 6, 2017 by LutherMax Arkhanist and Aothaine 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeblerartillery Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Love the white helms on SG Luther...got me rethinking my scheme. And for chipping /weathering them, did you add the white highlight underneath? I was considerinf weathering my priest, but wasn't sure how. Also, the blades look fantastic...but if you don't mind me saying, I think your airbrushed ones look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durdle-durdle Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 So just how big is the sanguinor? I'm planning a conversion but I want him to be roughly the same size. Is he bigger or the same as a regular sanguinary guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the chipping on the white - well spotted, yes I did add a tiny white highlight just next to the dark grey scratches to give them some depth. As for the blades, they're not finished yet - the blended one still needs edge highlighting and some power effect coming off the feed, but considering how long they're taking me I think I'll go back to airbrushing them next time!

dread05 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I tried to stick a helmeted head on the priest but I couldnt get it to fit, ended using his boxed set. I found out that it's sculpted in a way so that it looks like he's really turning his head on the right, so in the end it was the only head that would look natural to him, every other head would have his neck in a really unatural position. It's gonna be the first time I'm gonna paint a bare head, so I'm getting a bit anxious on that, plus I made a mess with the plastic glue in there, I hope with the paint I'll hide most of it. At least I didnt loose any detail, I only got an uneven surface in the inside of the neck. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I am very much looking forward to seeing this finished unit. Still got the jump pack thrusters and a few details to do, but not long now! @ dread05 – he looks good, the wings are a nice addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Been playing around with an iOS app called 'Lens FX'. Would be even better on minis photographed in scenery or terrain but I had this one on my phone.

OrbOfAntioch Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Seeing that Twin-AC Razorbacks are rather Excellent at the moment... before they fix it and nullify my need to buy actual razorbacks I've found the perfect proxy.. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/923/4hZLmZ.jpg Comes with "Dozer Blades" too!

The upper part is attached to the jump pack, isntead of being vertical like in the sanguinary guards models. Given, the priest's model didnt have the proper holders for the wings, but still, my OCD is kicking in like crazy :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
