Kizzdougs Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Great stuff, dude! The weathering looks excellent :tu: I'm guessing that you've left the shoulder pads undamaged because you're going to be using the new UM decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of the Raven Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 You're making the Iron Warriors helmets and contemptor look good, Dantioch. Forge World should hire you to paint their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantioch Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Just waiting for my FW order before I go full steam on my Ultramarines,also going to paint up my SA in the Calth High Guard colours from Tempest. Are you looking to do an Allied Detachment ala Dantioch? Maybe later but for this force I want it to be a company on their own *Peeks in* *Kneels to Dantioch* You have my sword brother! But seriously, this looks fugging glorious. My Captain, I'm honoured. Thanks a lot man! Great stuff, dude! The weathering looks excellent I'm guessing that you've left the shoulder pads undamaged because you're going to be using the new UM decals? Thanks Kizzdougs, yeah still waiting for the decals to come You're making the Iron Warriors helmets and contemptor look good, Dantioch. Forge World should hire you to paint their products. Thanks very much it means a lot, as long as they send me free models haha Yeah, I guess I forgive you. ;p Alos looks great! Cheers man, your own Solar Auxilia are forcing my hand to paint my own Looks good! Same blue I am going for too Thanks man That's a really nice blue. Looks awesome! Cheers golem! Fantastic! I do like the fact you've gone for a darker blue (something I've done for the models I have than is typical (not that the lighter models painted by others aren't nice, I just prefer a darker shade ) Thanks, yeah I prefer the darker blue fits in with the grittier 30k universe but I do love those lighter shade blue ones that were in the FW cabinets during the HH weekender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantioch Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 My FW order arrived this morning and they look awesome, the Ultramarine transfer sheet is incredible! http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0748_zpss6l0ivzi.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0749_zpsmh6klnfn.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0750_zps7xwq4rkz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I was really impressed with the transfer sheet too, and the Praetorian armour is really cool. Still need to make use of mine haha. I'm not sure if it's been asked but just briefly how did you do your blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's been asked but just briefly how did you do your blue? Yeah no problem man, I spray it with Chaos Black then Macragge blue. I then shade all the recesses with Nuln Oil and tidy it up with Macragge Blue. For the weathering I sponge on Calgar Blue then Ironbreaker then some patches of Stormvermin Fur and wash it with some patches of Agrax Earthshade. Its pretty simple so I can paint them quickly and hopefully they look good haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operative Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Since we're on the topic of painting and modelling. Can I ask how you go about the process of basing your marines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantioch Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Since we're on the topic of painting and modelling. Can I ask how you go about the process of basing your marines? Yeah no problem, first I put some patches of milliput on the base so when I glue the sand down so it looks like a bit more natural. I then stick some bits of cork down. For the painting I basecoat the whole base with Dryad black then drybrush it the Gorthor brown. I then give it a wash with Agrax Earthshade over the whole thing. Once the wash is dry I give the cork a light drybrush with Karak Stone and some patches over the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantioch Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Hey guys, sorry for the absence The Witcher has been dominating my time but now its completed I can get back on track After reading through Tempest a few times and looking at other Ultramarine armies on here the Ultramarines have really captured my attention, can't wait to see FW cover the shadow crusade and it looks like Roboute will be my first Primarch too! @kizzdougs Thanks man, sorry it took so long long to reply, yeah its just sponging Made some slight progress on the predator: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0818_zpsrk0xwdrl.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0819_zpsufyipxui.jpg And some mock-ups of my next marines. With this force I want to pay special attention to each marine to make them all unique: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0817_zpsxc8carkl.jpg Finally I've settled on a scheme for my Auxilia, the Calth High Guard. I really enjoyed painting this scheme so no doubt I'll be building a force of Solar Auxilia too: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0826_zpsczg8068k.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0822_zps1cjsujeu.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0825_zpsy6jzb7la.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantioch Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks for the comments everybody. I just finished my Predator this morning so that marks my first completed vehicle and I loved painting it, enjoy! You might be able to notice that I covered up some of the transfers with the exhausts because I didn't even think to check what they would cover when I put them on so I've learnt my lesson for next time Got a few more vehicles to paint up once I finish my Dreadnought. http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0868_zpsmtnanjft.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0867_zpszuwjk15k.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0866_zpst8yuvyar.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0865_zpss6prkecx.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantioch Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi guys, not made much progress since last update but here are some WIP photos. First up my Dreadnought for ETL is half done: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0954_zpshknyfq3r.jpg And a 10 man Breacher Squad, just finished up applying decals just need to tidy them up. The faceplates will be black as shown in Tempest: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/IMG_0956_zpsz7sns9jq.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/24b5e570-9c0b-4150-9eed-1755085f1b4d_zps4gnu9w8a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
