Brother Vidius Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 @ChainMachete Here's my Lorgar. Terrible pics though! http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh567/Vidius22/Mobile%20Uploads/photo_zps790a69db.jpg Was easy enough: Tin bitz, Boltgun metal and then a heavy Carroburg Crimson wash!

gizur Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Sorry he but he looks like 3rd Legion not 17th. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298549-metallic-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-3850843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainMachete Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Here's my attempt of red metallic on a tactical marine. Just quick photos on my phone I'm afraid. Pewter rub & buff dry brushed over the chaos black undercoat, a layer of Carbourg Crimon, two thin layers of Tamiya Clear Red, then a final layer of Carbourg Crimson. Looks like a darkish crimson colour until you get it under the lights, then the rub & buff reflects through the layers of red. Still painting up my first 20 tacticals and some HQ, but will probably try either Lorgar or Erebus & Kor Phaeron in this colour scheme next. But with my painting speed, don't expect any photos until early next year!

Flint13 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sweet! That is a pretty awesome technique I've never seen before. I'm super curious what a squad of these guys will look like. Keep it up! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298549-metallic-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-3851621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Vidius Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 @gizur it must be the pics because he is most definitely red! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298549-metallic-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-3851727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainMachete Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 @gizur it must be the pics because he is most definitely red! Could be the lighting - I found that when I put the first wash of carbourg crimson over the pewter, the models looked very pink in certain lighting. The Tamiya clear red sorted that out. To be perfectly honest, I'm not really convinced about the need for the initial wash, but the final wash wash of the crimson over the clear red made quite a difference. You can get the Rub & Buff pewter and the Tamiya clear red on Amazon by the way. The clear red is really thick out of the bottle, so needs watering down approx 2:1 with water. You could probably also use that the new Citadel blood technical paint instead of the clear red, though I think it's a little darker - I used it for the blood on the bolter chainblade attachment. Can't lay any claims to this scheme, since it came directly from Forge World. If you look at some of the tactical support squad weapons on the Forge World website (Volkite Caliver & Rotor Cannons), you'll see some of their red metallic Word Bearers. Only difference is that they recommend air-brushing on the crimson & clear red layers and I just brushed them on normally - not convinced about my airbrushing skills yet.

GrandMagnus Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Ive finally recieved my first word bearers and Im currently testing the crimson "traitors red" scheme and the pre-heresy slate scheme (as seen on the terminator). I will post a picture of the slate grey marine WIP tomorrow if I have the time. Im actually enjoying that scheme, but it might be a bit of a :cuss on dreads and vehicles.

GrandMagnus Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 So, brothers and sisters, I think I finally made the slate grey the way I want it. I present to you, the Word Bearers, post-monarchia: http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t373/Philip_Breusch_Magnussen/2014-11-06173521_zps1accdd19.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t373/Philip_Breusch_Magnussen/2014-11-06173515_zps066f1412.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t373/Philip_Breusch_Magnussen/2014-11-06173556_zpsb07b40f9.jpg Now he doesnt have any arms yet and is still WIP, but I prefer to paint the torso/legs/head/backpack before adding arms and pauldrons. Im thinking of painting the pauldrons red with a bronze trim for my own chapter, that way it ties in with the name of the chapter "The Bleeding Hand", with a character Im writting and with the whole post-monarchia thing. Its worth mentioning he looks darker in person, its the light from the lamp thats making him shine like that.

d@n Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Metallic red... Air brush silver then air brush tamiya clear red. Air brush gloss vanish and then a red or purple wash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298549-metallic-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-3855502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Looks like a good start. Your bronzey technique is also looking good. Keep it up! Can't wait to see him with arms ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298549-metallic-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-3855517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Love the grey, but the gold throws me off. Looks a bit too much like an Iron Warrior. Maybe do the fine details in a bright silver?

Slips Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yeah, the gold detailing would only work with the Red scheme for Word Bearers, imo. For the grey, I think a Silver with a tinge of red or blue would work well.

GrandMagnus Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Well, A) its brass :P but I know what you mean. B) The problem with silver and steel on this model is they blend in A LOT with the armour.

Slips Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 hmm... You could darken slate grey with a dark blue or black wash though that may ruin the look you're after. That would help make the silver detailing stand out however. And if its brass, then I blame the light :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298549-metallic-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-3855660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hmmm, even though it looks good there is something about this scheme that keeps biting me in the back of my head. There is something I dont like but Im not sure what. Im testing a crimson scheme because I havent fully decided yet. Maybe I should try a matte non-metallic grey like the HH artwork shows?
