Damo1701 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Here is the test piece for a Blood Angels force I'm working on. The force will consist of the Deathstorm boxed models, and a few tactical squads at the moment. That might expand. I decided to use these to work up to painting the copy of Space Hulk my son and I got for Christmas. I want to do those guys some justice. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Damosmy/IMG_0140.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Damosmy/IMG_0141.jpg C&C Welcome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That's a good start and very neat. Oh, and our Terminators have black power fists :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sharp, and pretty clean. Very nice so far. One thing? There's a mold line running the length of the top of his sword arm. Might want to see about that before you go any further, :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo1701 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sharp, and pretty clean. Very nice so far. One thing? There's a mold line running the length of the top of his sword arm. Might want to see about that before you go any further, I tried several times to kill that one to the extreme that I was concerned about losing the detail. I have the mould line removal tool too. It got to the point where I decided to leave it, and try and draw away, or incorporate it somehow. Cheers guys, I'm following the guide from the Space Hulk issue of White Dwarf, so the optics are Ceramite White as base, and a load of Waywatcher Green glaze to get the shadow and tint to the right levels.

Damo1701 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Update Time: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Damosmy/IMG_0143.jpg Going from White spray undercoat, to mephiston red spray, then Agrax Earthshade all over, to basecoat of mephiston red, picked out the black, to detailed. Hope you enjoy. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Damosmy/IMG_0146.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Damosmy/IMG_0145.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Not bad mate, might want to ease back a little with the wash; its pooling too much. Otherwise, solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo1701 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Not bad mate, might want to ease back a little with the wash; its pooling too much. Otherwise, solid. Cheers for the input. I looked at that with the sargeant model, then cheated a bit in order to retain the effect. I based them on Rhinox Hide over sand, with (tutorial I found on here) clumps of snow and grass. That way, the wash looks like grit and dust has built up while on campaign. When I get a chance, I'll reshoot the sargeant model, and hopefully, you'll see the effect I was hoping for :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Very nice stuff, they have an old school field that really appeals to me. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Very nice stuff, they have an old school field that really appeals to me. What he said. With edge highlighting its super important to be tidy, so try to repaint/ clean up any messy lines as you make them. I think the new 'how to Blood Angels' on GW's YouTube channel talks a bit about this here. Another useful tip is to pick out important details with just a dot of much lighter colour e.g. use a bone or light human flesh 'dot' on the red to pick out of corners of the face, hands, elbows etc. Be careful to use this technique sparingly though!
