BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Close! They are from Anvil Industries. And just when I thought I finalized the scheme I found something better ha: Have a little bit of clean up on the lines to do, but I'm happy with the direction. Exactly what I had in mind in your thread. Awesome job. An entire squad like that will look great.

Arkangilos Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 So here are the pictures (though a day late :/ ). The lighting is kind of bad in both of them (I have bad lighting in my apartment, lol. I live in the dark ) This is the general status of them: http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/tballiv/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsi4ekogpa.jpg And this is a closer up of my closest to being done and test bed for my newish paints and techniques. He's not done yet, but he's getting there. Here is brother Mathial (I keep wanting to call him Brother Marsupial for some reason, and when I do that, I imagine him riding in a Kangaroo). http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/tballiv/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsurrmku19.jpg I'm trying to figure out how to get that white to look like marble, but if I can't do that I'm going to go with bone. Any suggestions? Oh yeah, and I had a disaster when something fell onto these guys. It ruined my perfectly clean looking brand new paint, and broke the sword hand off of my sgt, and my heavy flamer guy in half Fortunately those were easy fixes, but very frustrating!

Kierdale Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm trying to figure out how to get that white to look like marble, but if I can't do that I'm going to go with bone. Any suggestions? A website I know of thanks to Forte, Massive Voodoo, has a tutorial on marble: http://massivevoodoo.blogspot.jp/2011/06/tutorial-painting-marble.html?m=1 It's working on a larger scale than your white area, but could be worth a try. I'm keen to give it a whirl myself. You are going to drill those gun barrels, right? ;) If you can get some photos in better light, I'd love to see them. What's your recipes for your red and gold?

Forté Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 A website I know of thanks to Forte, Massive Voodoo, has a tutorial on marble Worth looking on http://tutofig.com too.

Arkangilos Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks for the links Kierdale and Forte! When I get home I'll check them out! You are going to drill those gun barrels, right? Of course I am, lol. At least, most likely It's lower on my list of priorities for them right now. What's your recipes for your red and gold? My recipe for the red, as of now, is Mephiston Red with a layer of Red Ink. My dad got me quite a few of those before they were phased out years ago. My recipe for the gold is Dwarf Bronze -> Shining Gold -> Gryphonne Sepia -> Burnished Gold The bolter doesn't have the Burnished Gold added to it, yet. I am only using Citadel Paints, but most of them are older.

Carlson793 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Update #2 for my Salamanders Apothecaries. Just need some touch-ups* and a flat seal. (Damn do they need touch-ups! Camera pointed out a ton of areas that need work!) (Re-learning my old camera after a few years using an iPad, so apologies for image quality.) http://bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_10505/gallery_80588_10505_421132.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303480-2015-augustus-arena-event-ended/page/20/#findComment-3968217 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkangilos Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Alright, so here he is at the closest to being done. Basically, touch ups are all I've got left (and maybe highlights, if I decide to do them). Oh, and maybe drilling the bolter. (And obviously the basing). Are there any suggestions you have before I move on to the rest of the squad? Being the first one of the squad, he's going to be the poster for how the rest of my squad will be done. How did the marble turn out to you guys? Also, those are the first "gems" I have done (the blood drops that aren't gold. I've never done gem effects before). Any suggestions on making them better? http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/tballiv/Mobile%20Uploads/ae3ecbe7-7cac-4869-b15c-d90ec190f77d_zpsasi5d4n5.jpg Also, disregard my messey background and painted hand @Nusquam: Do you have a trick to doing those tattoos and designs on the armor?

Brother Argent Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well after your awesome work I am not sure I am going to get your challenge to me done as money seems to have deserted me and I have no way of getting the model required. Maybe the almighty Augustus will allow a rechallenge...? Unless someone has a Korvaydae and a MkIII Crested Helmet they want to send me...

Lucio Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 For red gems, I use a basecoat of Warplock Bronze, a light uneven coat of runefang silver (so it's barely on in one corner) and then apply Blood for the Blood God.

Augustus b'Raass Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 ^^I have the broken off crest of a MkIII helmet if you want it - my guess it'd be easy to attach that on a MkIII helmet of your own.

Any suggestions on making them better? http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/tballiv/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps5jfct4hc.jpg Also, disregard my messey background and painted hand Looks good. A few ideas/suggestions: Firstly cropping the image closer to the mini so we can see more of it (and less of your paint-splattered fingers ). I definitely think you should highlight it. If you don’t usually then now is the time to push yourself. A light red highlight, along upper edges at least. And a highlight on the gold if you can, too. A metal (Leadbelcher for example) drybrush on the bolter magazine, perhaps. I can’t see anything wrong with the marble in that image. Then again it’s a small area so it may be difficult to see the marble effect. It looks like you did fine to me. I think those gems look okay. There are probably a lot of tutorials out there (one good one at From The Warp on eye lenses and gems: http://fromthewarp.blogspot.jp/2012/12/thoughts-on-painting-marine-helmet.html). Personally I do them a dark red first, wash it heavily with Nuln Oil, then add two (or more) lighter red/orange highlights in the lower left, the lighter smaller than the one before. Add a tiiiiiiny white dot in the top right, then use a gloss varnish. One example here: http://bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_9407/med_gallery_63428_9407_82734.jpg In other cases I've washed it with Carroburg Crimson then done a coat of Tamiya Clear Red before doing the white dot, for a darker gem. Lucio has an interesting recipe there though. Worth a try!

Arkangilos Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Alright, I cropped it :P For some reason that didn't even cross my mind before, lol. As for the gems, that's actually what I did. A few days ago I saw Flint post something about gems (I honestly don't remember if she posted it then, or if it was something that was older that I just came across), and it inspired me :p I also took some pointers from my local GW store guy.
