appiah4 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) EDIT: Seeing as everyone and their grandparents have a painting blog post, I decided this would be mine. The post's subject has been updated accordingly. Thanks for looking Took a break from painting my Dark Vengeance bikes (coming soon..) and finally got around to basing this figure, so I took some photos.. Cross posting from Hall of Fame (where not much damn was given ) for your C&C.

marine7312000 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Looks pretty good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302900-appiah4s-blood-angels/#findComment-3938204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mapple Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Do you use some kind of sealant spray at the end? The red is bright and had a slight shimmer it seems. Really good painted detail on that mini. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302900-appiah4s-blood-angels/#findComment-3938230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Do you use some kind of sealant spray at the end? The red is bright and had a slight shimmer it seems. Really good painted detail on that mini. No varnish whatsoever at this point; the shine is due to non-diffused direct lighting; I'm not enjoying a great photo setting at the moment; As I acquire more light sources and a tripod, I will probably eventually retake shots of this model, as the pictures do it little justice. Anyways, here's a Biker test model I finished. Two more will follow soon.

Urauloth Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I never normally like bikes apart from scout (and FW) varieties, but this one is cool. Nice use use of the mini, the angel wings on the faring work really well. It also looks much better in these colours than it would in the heraldry of the treacherous 1st. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302900-appiah4s-blood-angels/#findComment-3942578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Unbased, but otherwise finished. I'll replace the photo with a based one tomorrow, I think.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I've aways liked the Ravenwing bikes. They always screamed BA Bikes to me. I like how it turned out. I like the Relic bolter as well. Keep up the good work!

appiah4 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Long time no post.. Anyway, here are some WIPs on a couple of things I'm getting finished before ETL: Sanguinary Priest: Bike Squad: Edited October 9, 2016 by appiah5 LutherMax and Dolchiate Remembrancer 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302900-appiah4s-blood-angels/#findComment-4384010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 OK two more figures finished (unbased, I know..), one biker to go before starting on ETL vows..

Charlo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Really nice solid white on that medic dude! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302900-appiah4s-blood-angels/#findComment-4392157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Really nice solid white on that medic dude!  Thanks, though in hindsight it could have been a lot smoother. I didn't sand the pewter model (big mistake), went for a cool white first and failed so that accounts for some extra layers that could have been avoided, and ultimately I suffered from using craft paints - those coarse pigments really make hiding brush strokes difficult in white.. Glad you think it's ok though, I'm not 100% proud of it myself.. I like the bikers more :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302900-appiah4s-blood-angels/#findComment-4392204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Mapple Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 As a fellow painter who loves pewter miniatures and craft paint - you only see that "bumpy" thing when you're looking at it at 10x the size. When you're playing games or it sits on the shelf, it's great! I know not everyone is as "practical" as I am, but metal is hard to do without resurfacing the model like you're talking about.

appiah4 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yep, nabbed on eBay for next to nothing, stripped their smurf colors and now they already have one coat of red down.. Once the second coat and the blacks go on I'll have another WIP shot of them. And yes, I also think they are fantastic models for being simple snap fits.

appiah4 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) ETL Progress: Thoughts for the day: TA is easier, much easier in fact, than PA to paint. I missed painting purple. And the metal Terminator Captain is without a doubt the most badass, most beautiful, most iconic Space Marine model GW ever made.

appiah4 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Alright, so the Bike Squad Sergeant is finally done (I may go back and do some minor touchups once I get to basing it I guess..) and I'm really proud of him. And here's the squad altogether: A shame that I couldn't get them entered into the ETL but it is what it is.. Now I can go back to working on my ETL vow.
