scatmandoo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Looks good so far. What colour are you of setting the grey with? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3980186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Welcome to the guard. I run my guard in an urban(ish) theme too, well the bases are I don't think you could count red tunics and white trousers as urban camo, event though the regiment is from a hive world...anyway i digress. For the basing I run with gravel, spray it black, then cover in adeptus battle grey then dry brush from codex through to fortress grey. Your weathering on the armour is great, I would personally go a little heavier with typhus corrosion and agrax earthsahade on the tracks. But that is a personal preference they good great as they are. Keep up the good work.

Azarians Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks you for your adivces and answers I will try to finish my baneblade soon, i will paint in light grey with the dark grey ! EDIT: I'm going to take pictures now ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3980624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarians Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Now there is the basecoat, need to retouch some details, but now i can start iron parts and camouflage ;) I have a question, how can i do the headlights and the projector ? Thanks you ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3983827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 You could paint them yellow or blue, depending on your mood. Really any colour could work but those seem the most realistic. The different greys look very nice! Keep it up!

elmo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I went for yellow headlights and blue spotlight and I have keep consistency with my other vehicles so they look part of the same army. Go for the colour that suits your scheme. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3984013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Good progress, as said the best colour is one that suits your theme. A blue or yellow would be best I agree :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3984054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarians Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Ok thanks you ;) But, i don't know how to do :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3984060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Do a search on google for images of Baneblades. Check out what other people have used for colours and go with the one you like. The actual principle of painting the head/search lights are the same as painting a lens or view-block and I use this filthy Xenos tutorial to do mine but with the addition of gloss varnish at the end. Edit: Just realised I did my headlights in blue too but my lenses are red... :( My bad!

WarriorFish Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 You could just paint them in the colour you want and give them a gloss varnish, that would help them stand out. Better to do some form of gradient effect though, with a build up of different shades of the colour. Best still would be to blend the colours for a smoother effect. Are you familiar with these techniques? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3984072 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I use the following and tie them together with a thinned blue ink Base: Regal Blue First highlight: UM blue Top highlight: Ice blue Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3984090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Those are the colours I use - they look good and just as importantly are easier to work with. Blue lenses are a favourite of mine for these reasons :) A nice ink or wash can really bring it together but as mentioned make sure it's only a bit or it'll take away some of your hard work. Let us know how you get on :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3984091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Here's how I did mine, there's no particular way of doing it so just pick out the bits you'd like to do. For the vision slits I just left them black, there's not much you can do with them unless you're really dedicated :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3984297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 If we are doing a Baneblade rear comparison... does this paint scheme make mine look big ;) My vision slits are done in red - The Commissariat should be dedicated!

Azarians Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Good evening everybody ! I finish the details and the camouflage ;) And for the agrax, i don't know really how to do, first time on a big tank like this XD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3985766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsev Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Looking good, really good, considering its your what 5th tank? As for the agrax, bigger tank, bigger brush, just do it as you normally would, but be a bit more careful for pooling of the wash... Should be fine... Good job on the optics as well from what i can see!!!

Azarians Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Ok thanks Tomsev ;) Must i recover all the tanks or just the hollow ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304649-my-imperial-guard-army/page/2/#findComment-3985787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 As for the agrax, bigger tank, bigger brush Couldn't have said it better myself :D As mentioned it's literally just a case of scaling up, so if anything it's easier :) For the best results on metals I find you should coat the entire part but it depends what you're aiming for. Try it out on a section and see how it looks once it has dried.
