Sgt. Blank Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The bases look amazing - I really like the subtle colors you're achieving, it looks uncannily like stone that's faded over time. I'm super impressed with the use of the water effects as well. I'm looking forward to seeing the models atop these bases!

Kurgan the Lurker Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 February 9, 2018. Day 40 - Apologies on the :cuss phone pics but I still don't have my light box set up. Helmet done on the Gravis Captain. I am GROSSLY out of practice but this is a step in the right direction to getting my mojo back. This close up I see all the flaws and there are so many. Ha! Right now this ONLY passes the 3 foot rule. Prime white Base Ral Partha Neo Soviet Brown Wash with Agrax Earth Shade 2nd coat of NeoSov Brown Next layer is Goose Feather (sorry don't recall the manufacturer) First highlight with Ral Partha Bone White 2nd highlight with Satin Cream (again not sure on the manufacturer). Metallic bits done with: Iron Wind Metals Steel GW Brazen Brass GW Beaten Copper Eye Visors: Ral Partha Paladin Blue Ral Partha Bluefang Blue Ral Partha True Blue Craft Essentials Carribean Coast Only brought up the highlights in the front half as this helms sits down in the Gravis armor.

Kurgan the Lurker Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Been working on finding a new (and/or 2nd) job since the last post. Revived most of my paints and cleaned up a bit of the indoor hobby area and a lot of the garage hobby area. Should have the light box all set back up this week so hopefully no more crappy phone pics here soon. Anyone, progress (albeit small) tonight on the Dragon Suns Primaris Captain.

Kurgan the Lurker Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 March 4, 2018. Day 63 - Looking for a new job while my current one grinds me down has gotten me behind hobby wise. Managed some good progress since last post though. White is done the same as the helmet from weeks back only...not as crappy or as chalky. Red armor isn't quite what I wanted but it works. The 4 Vallejo reds (Black, Hull, Burnt and 926 red) are just a little too close in the values. Took the high lights up to Vallejo 910 Orange Red on the Captain.

Kurgan the Lurker Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Well after no painting for so so long and then jumping back in the deep end, I still need a lot of practice. Still trying to get the old G9 to get pics the way I want. Anyway, Dragon Suns Primaris Captain. The logo is slightly modified (no tail under the pyramid) as going that small to fit it all in just made it unrecognizable. Won't be correcting the mistakes on this guy but just moving forward with the rest of the army and learning from each as I go and hopefully get back to a "paint every day" type setting again. Went back and took shots with the phone. Really shows all the issues but I'll work them.

Kurgan the Lurker Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Some progress. Slowly feeling some skills coming back. This guy is certainly better than the Captain I would say. Freehand skills are still really rusty and my ability to do text has diminished a lot....but....progress. Two Lieutenants are up next, hopefully with a bit more alacrity than this guy.

Gederas Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 While I love the colouration and design of these guys, I have to ask: They seem to be much darker than the one on page 2 and 3. What happened along the way that made them go from that nice bright orange to the.... I guess burnt umber? :lol: (also hi Kurgan thanks for the help again!)

Subtle Discord Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Seriously liking the deep rich red, like a fresh arterial spray. It pairs really well with the warm bone white. Execution takes time, don't rush it if it's not realistic. I keep thinking I'm going too slow with my own painting process and I've just come to accept that it takes the time it takes if I want a particular outcome. So many steps can't really be rushed past a certain point, then it's just a matter of trying to be accurate to avoid time spent on cleanup.

I suppose I got confused because I saw a Primaris in your Chapter's colours, then these new ones and was like "Wait, what?" :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 What is this? Progress? Helblasters are done. Still a long way to go for me to get back to where I used to be quality wise but every step forward is good. Intercessors or Inceptors next...we will see.

The Traitor Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It is so cool to see a B&C legend getting back to painting, the red of the primaris looks awesome, and the bone is very clean, so great work so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Cogitators flare into life. Gears begin to grind and the dust of ages is scattered through out the hall......an ancient behemoth awakens........ Trying to get back into the modelling after such a long lay off.... So why not start with FW Resin. Easy right? Endryd Haar getting converted into a Vultures Marine. Should pads come courtesy of Hunting Heresy on Etsy {@Hunting_heresy on IG). You can see some samples of both the Vultures and the Dragon Suns (two chapters buried in this thread somewhere.....) Hoping to get assembly and primer taken care of tomorrow. Initial prep work. Ditched the World Eater Shoulder pad and Backpack, along with Haar's head, as we (of course) need the Vultures Helmet.

I got mine ages ago when you get get metal bits by the gram at Games Day USA. Bought around 300 helmets in one go. Think I have 200 or so left these days. It was $.25 a gram back then so I think I paid $10.00 for the lot (2003 I think was the year). Sadly I have not been able to find a 3D sculpt to match so if someone knows of one, I am all ears. phandaal and Dr_Ruminahui 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Mother Nature gifted me with a pretty gnarly sinus infection the last week or so, as such, not much progress. Pictures are sadly a bit blurry. Double prime using "Paprika" from Krylon and then Cadmium Orange Hue from Liquitex. Hopefully some good progress over the long weekend here in the States.
