Spagunk Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 ETL Vow can be found here Since I want to make sure I get stuff done as soon as possible, I jumped right into it. First up, base coat! I am actually going to pain Karlean gold because I figure it would be different. The base gold is a 50/50 mix vallejo glorious gold and Heavy Siena. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/20150501_163619.jpg Because I am having him shown as fighting within the palace from Deathstorm, I decided to go with an alabaster/off white stone motif. Basecoat is Vallejo bleach bone. Next is a liberal coat of GW Devlan Mud. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/20150501_170309.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/20150501_170335.jpg I plan to have the inside of the cape be more white than bleached bone with some fancy borders. The outside is going to be red to help break up the darkness of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Progress so far: Drybrush shining gold, base coat of mechrite red and Vallejo Silver for the chains. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/20150502_101907.jpg Quick pic of him put together: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/20150503_110439.jpghttp://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/20150503_110351.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplainmikey Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Looking good so far. I like that you're doing something different and painting his armour gold, really interested to see how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'm having trouble figuring out how I want to take on the hammer part to be honest. It just seems so plain Jane to paint it up metal so I was contemplating making it have lightning effect. But since it's facing away from the target in the pose, I don't think it makes logical sense. Also I need to get better lighting. The other thing is I want to make sure I don't ruin this gold armor somehow. I am extremely happy with how it turned out this time.

Spagunk Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Update time: Some detail work was done. The base itself is done so that's one thing out of the way. A dry brush of red was applied to the cloak. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/20150508_233804.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/20150508_233742.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/20150508_233715.jpg I did start doing the chest wings after taking these but because of the chains and other things, it's not turning out the way I wanted.

Oirghialla Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I love it! Between the bronze armour and marble-like base he looks very Greco-Roman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 I think I am done with this. The more I keep messing with it to get it to look better, the worse it starts to look. So here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Invictus Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Wow, you've done a fantastic job there. I think I may have to do my Karlaen gold now, after seeing this! Sorry to steal your idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Started today on my second vow. More gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 So I am already trying to plan out what to do after this. Given that I have 2 months and some change, I think I want to go big for my 3rd vow. Do you think a "Squad Alphaeus" and a Land Raider Crusader may be too much to handle? My worry is that the Land raider may take too much time to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Have you painted one (or similar sized) before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have painted a Stormraven which is similar in size. That one took awhile to get done but I don't remember exactly how long it took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spagunk Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Love the wings! Thanks. However I am not too happy with them as I made quite a number of mistakes. It's also difficult to see because in person the colors blend a lot more than pictures make them out to be. It will do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spagunk Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 It's actually the same as my chest wings: base coat: The Fang First layer: Vallejo Ultramarine Second layer: Ice Blue Third layer: vallejo wolf gray Last spots: White. My method has be making sure that the wolf gray and white are edges only so it doesn't blanch out the lower layers too much. I'm also very specific in where I place the gray and white so that it king of hits only those areas which I think would have fire coming out of them.

Spagunk Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Not much progress this week as it's been very busy. Managed to get my layer of red down so the next step is highlighting. Once the highlighting is done, I can start laying down the black and base coats for stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
