Battybattybats Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 My Skitarii continue my Forgeworld St Hoagland/House Cydonia scheme. A darker red (Black undercoat, Khorne red shaded with Druchii wash then highlighted back with Khorne red and where needed a small bit of Mephiston), Red on the inside of cloaks, luminous eye-lenses at different colours to make them distinct from plasma/radium glow and to show different wavelengths being seen/recorded.http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f250/supreme_martian_overlord/DSCF0015%205.jpghttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f250/supreme_martian_overlord/DSCF0016%204.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/6/#findComment-4022374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall Egregorius Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Very nice. Especially like that you were able to pick out the edging on the armor in bronze.

marshall Egregorius Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 it looks good to me. did you add metal casing to the stock or was that a slip of the brush?

Vel'Cona Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I like the rifle, looks good. It does bug me that everyone else seems to be getting better results from their Ironearth than me, though.

abraxus Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ironearth cracking is based on two factors The thickness of the paint and the speed at which it dries. Try putting a fan over the base as it dries an se if you get different results.

Father Mehman Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Glad to hear...browns really can be made to pop! and highlighting is easy too...brown robes for the win (they will not see the leaking lubrication oil when we face the enemy...:blush: ) whats your decision on gun colour??... Â Mithril I went for a completely new scheme! Brown robes, cream interior and secondary colour, camouflage green for vehicle armour plates, and black for the under-suits. The guns will be a wood colour drybrushed with Baneblade Brown. It's the same recipe for my Beastmen's hafts and poles. Â I'll post a few pictures when the Dragoon is completed.

MithrilForge Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 it looks good to me. did you add metal casing to the stock or was that a slip of the brush? you mean the ridges on the top of the stock..?, if so then yes i put that there on purpose because from reference pics in the codex(pg 9,32-39,72,74 it's the metal barrel under the ribbing of the wood stock,although in painting the Eavy metal guys have missed it,prob due to laziness . and thanks guys/gals for saying it looks ok ! @Vel'Cona - i did 5 bases first for my vanguard and they came out quite average...so i went mega heavy with the ranger one's so don't feel too bad!, i used rhinox on the base before hand and it really makes the cracks stand out even more and a drybrush of XV-88 then a final of ushabti helps too..

marshall Egregorius Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 thats weird...see my post about 5 up...thats iron earth...but a lot of it! ...did you only paint it on lightly?...  mithril  It could be considered light yes, I'm re-doing it now after coating the current layer in a layer of doombull brown.

MithrilForge Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Oh good, i hope it works out, yeah you really have to use a fair amount ...put it on like you were making a raised base with plaster..yes that much!! and great idea with the doombull layer post a pic of the results (it takes about 2-3 hrs to dry and crack really well...) Mithril p.s it may be the flash on the photo,i know pics dont always show the truth.. but the chest piece looks to be devoid of definition is there a light wash on there?.. and the floaty skull looks like it needs a wash of sepia for a little pop value Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/6/#findComment-4024864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
