Vel'Cona Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 That bloody base on "The Wrath" is BRUTAL. Love the sculpting work, especially combined with your vibrant, visceral painting style. Are you doing layered washes, inks, or some form of varnish? I can't imagine exactly how you get that shiny finish.

paz Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks for all the kind words brothers! Â The red bases are actually pretty simple. It's a bright red base, then GW technical paont blood all up in there. Â I found it almost too shiny, so a quick Matt varnish after the fact calms the blood down a touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Ace Alpha, love the metallics on the backpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks brother! Â It's "natural steel" from Vallejo, over a base of natural steel and stormvermin brown (gw) Then I wash with nuln oil, blue wash and finally typhus corrosion for dirt in the crevices. Final is edge highlighting with a mix of steel and mithril silver. Those Vallejo metallics are nuts good. Â If you wanted to know :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm using P3 metallics at the moment and they're making me hate that step. Â I may have to swap to Vallejo if they're that spiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Completed alpha legion operative!  Pretty chuffed on the base, worked out well  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/shadow/40kstuff/5E0512E2-9893-46B0-9D65-A3A1FCE25B19_zpsqpqa6uzp.jpg  thinking about throwing up an ETL submission before the deadline...

Dragonlover Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 That is an awesome Alpha Legionnaire, really like the chains. Did a chain on one of my Khorne guys the other day, it's harder than it looks! Â thinking about throwing up an ETL submission before the deadline... Â Do it! It'll be the most fun painting you have all year, plus I'll immortalize you on a Brass Scorpion. What's not to like?

SickSix Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Man that Alpha Legionnaire is great! I am so jealous of those fortunate enough to have 30k stuff lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpwyrm Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Awesome Alpha Legionnaire! I love the base, it has just enough on it to add to the model's atmosphere without taking the focus away from the marine. Good job! What thickness of cork do you use for the rock?

paz Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Some people have asked me how I did the armor for the alpha legionnaire, so I put up a quick and simple tut on my art site, hope it helps!  http://thedeeperwell.weebly.com/mad-bloggins   Jpwyrm- I dunno the exact thickness, I just bought a big brick of the stuff at michaels!

Kizzdougs Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Congrats on the completed squad paz! They look great together. The freehand is really impressive and the heat damage on the melta weapons looks great. Recently I've been pretty tempted to have a go at some Alphas and your work is making it that much harder to resist... Â Looking forward to some more :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Heinrich Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Looking good Paz! Love the heat discoloration on the melta. Â Edit: Also I wanted to say how much I LOVE the casings on their guns, the matte tan feels Tacticool as hell and original as all get out. Great idea!
