Solrac Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) So might as well do a step by step since I'm only painting one mini. This is after washing the blue with Drakenhof Nightshade and 3 coats of watered down Ushabti Bone for the robe. I'll wash the robe before bed with Seraphim Sepia to leave to dry overnight since it's getting pretty cold for Australia standards. Also the Sword has naturally turned out nice going from dark blue to light blue and the wash darkening the inside. Should I keep it? I don't generally do blue swords with blue armour but this looks pretty good. Otherwise it will just be Leadbelcher with a Nulon Oil wash.

Galthan Ironsturm Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Nice Blue Brother ! Â What is the "extension" for the base ? ( to change 25 mm on 32 mm) Solrac 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301386-solracs-dark-angels-wip-updated-17102017/page/4/#findComment-4399628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solrac Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks guys. I'll end up doing a lighter blue layer with a brush on the raised bits to make it pop a bit. Â The base 25mm to 32mm base extenders I bought were from Eccentric Miniatures. They are plastic and not resin so I can use plastic glue and sits very flush. You won't tell its an extension after I do the base as I use GW texture paint for my bases. Â Got 100 extenders for $32USD which I thought was pretty good value.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Love the shade of blue that you have there. And you did it in a way that the blue blade still looks apart from the blue armour, so kudos!

Solrac Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Got some progress. Painted up most of the details so I could apply the washes.

Greenz Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Like the rest have said, that blue looks terrific!

Solrac Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Alrighty washes are mostly done and the base is on it's way. Just some last bit of detail, the blue raised areas, touch ups and finish the base and he'll be done and ready for a mini tourney tomorrow!

Epher Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Looks great! It is good inspiration for the Ezekiel model that I need to paint. Good work on the base too. The grass is a nice touch.

Solrac Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Well I promised you guys some updated photos of my collection. Finally got some good lighting in my back room.

Bryan Blaire Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Collection looks awesome, Solrac! Got to keep trucking to get through the remainder. Your Zeke really came together nicely, good work! Â And sorry man, but I had to remove the pics that were posted that were Xenos focused in your cabinet shots. We'll forgive the wide angle shot showing some stuff, but focused images can only be board appropriate.

Epher Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 That is a lot of green! Your venerable dread is looking great! The gold highlights work really well. I like your choice of armour plates on the body and legs. We don't see that combination very often.
