Slothysaur Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Quick question about the marble method you use. The Scale 75 inktense wood, this is essentially a brown acrylic paint, correct? I would like to try this method out, but with the paints I have on hand. Edit: Forgot to say, the marble on your armigers looks incredible. I'm also a fan of the sword, I feel like using different colours would be a cool way to make some neat power field effects. As it stands the sword is quite unique and fits your armies style nicely.

Spagunk Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 That sword is amazing. I need to steal that concept for a friend. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302195-carmine-blades-completed-blood-angels-army/page/7/#findComment-5247281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeblerartillery Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Thanks all! And yea Saur, it is somewhere between an ink and a wash, in between Sephia and Agrax. And yea, I think I’m gonna give the black marble a go as my go to power weapon. Test minis to come after my armigers are complete!

Panzer Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Not convinced of the black marble power weapon. The area is a bit small for the effect and it looks almost like just drybrushed grey on black. Maybe it'll workout when the remaining details are painted but hard to tell without seeing it first. The shoulder pads and leg parts are simply amazing though!

keeblerartillery Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Alright, another mini-update! I got to play this weekend...which prompted me to get in gear on my sang guard/van vets. The dudes are primed, but their shields are well on their way! After consultation with a good buddy on color saturation, I realized that my usual marble would get washed out against the gold. So I decided on black marble. Let me know what you think!

Panzer Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The marble looks great so far but I'll refrain from judging it until the details got painted as well. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302195-carmine-blades-completed-blood-angels-army/page/7/#findComment-5255796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Black marble looks cool, but aren't you afraid it will look too out of place against your other units' white/grey marble? Are you planning additional adornments on the blank round shields? If so, what color?

keeblerartillery Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 So I am not doing the weapons in marble anymore - going to stick with a more traditional blend, but adding some color. As far as the shields go, yea I am going to add gold trim around the edges - and all the filigree will be gold as well. I don’t think it will clash with the rest of the army - my head canon is going to be that the first company has black marble instead of the regular marble. I’m doing two captains, one from the first and one from the third (what the rest of my blades are). So it will at least explain the difference. And the guys with black marble will be all gold, not red, so hopefully it’ll look good!

keeblerartillery Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thanks and yes they are! Another small update - oils are on! The weapons still need to be completed, as do the tabards and bases, but the armor is getting close. Please let me know what you think!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Your Sanguinary Guard members look great! The spear wielder will look better if the boltgun was mounted directly on the spear (see Custodes guardian spears for reference) instead of his forearm, as the latter mounting looks like it'll interfere with him wielding the spear.

Panzer Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 They look awesome! I'm so glad to see you doing them like that since it's extremely similar to what I was thinking about but never attempted due lack of skill. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302195-carmine-blades-completed-blood-angels-army/page/7/#findComment-5278863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeblerartillery Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks all! Honestly Bjorn - I am NOT a fan of the custodes gun blades. Dunno what it is, just doesn’t work for me.

Majkhel Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hey, they really are something different!The "very old gold" reddish effect you're getting on their armor will help tie them to the main bulk of your army.One can look at the those big marble areas on the shields for hours. Still I'd say it would be good to put some sprinkle of color on the bodies as well to draw the attention there as well. Nothing fancy, maybe just red tabards? Or an occasional blood drop?And what about wings? Do you plan to add them or skip them? I like them myself, but your guys already look quite good without them. And they already have those fantastic shields and very consistent color palette. I would be inclined to do them without wings.

keeblerartillery Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks Maj! So that is still in the docket - most of the blood drops still need to be done and I plan on making the tabards red to do just that - add a pop of color! The blades as well will also hopefully do that! I plan on skipping the wings - I used to love them. But I feel like with the way I’ve painted these guys, it is addition by subtraction to leave them off.

Panzer Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'd say doing the wings in the same style, aka the feathers as black marble, would actually look pretty awesome on those models.

Jolemai Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Could you remind us where you got the spears and shields from please?
