Truesight Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 So I figure it is about time for an update. I have acquired a non mobile phone camera, so will upload some pictures! The infantry are pretty much done, the tanks I'm figuring out how to proceed, I'm heavily considering giving them a whole body wash of earth shade, I want them dirty. Currently only the bottom of that one tank was earth washed, just seeing how it would look.

WarriorFish Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Nice work, and still plenty more models to come :tu: The wash looks like a good start for some mud, have you thought about anything else? Like Typhus Corrosion for example? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4123316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think a earthy wash is a good idea. Besides there death corps are meant to be dirty. Like what u've done btw.

Truesight Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nice, I'll give it a go. Typhus corrosion looks good, I like that it may leave a bit a of grit too. Wash that then wash with earth shade as well? Or too crazy?

our_baz Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Typhus corrosion followed by agrax earthshade work very well together. I use that combination on my armour for weathering. You could also drybrush the lower legs (calfs) rhinox hide, followed by karak stone then terminatus stone, that also gives a good weathered effect.

WarriorFish Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yeah, that's what I do. They're a very good match, the Agrax afterwards helps work it with the surrounding colour some more too :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4123748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truesight Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Excellent, will report back results. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4123894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Cool, I look forward to it :tu: You can see how it looks on my ETL Stormsword's mud weathering. I put it on relatively thick, which is how it looks best in my opinion but you might want to experiment with less first to see what you like :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4124165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Definitely inspires me to try out the Typhus Corrosion. Great work so far! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4124171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truesight Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Alright so I promised pictures of the armour, and here are some starters. I really like the Typhus Corrosion, I layed it on heavy and they came up looking suitably muddy. I feel like my girls have been trench fighting for a couple of years, precisely what I'm looking for.

WarriorFish Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Looks good, Typhus is a quick and easy method of adding some weathering :) What's next for Cassel's company?

Truesight Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Next on the block is the second Chimera and two Wyverns, then 30 more infantry. Hopefully they are done soon, as a Vulture and Vendetta are presently inbound to help round off the force.Also I have discovered a local tabletop gamers group that has a suitable meeting time, so more battle reports with many different opponents are coming. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4126152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Great news True! I look forward to seeing more models and batreps :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4126158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 They look great, in a dirty sense. Looking at your Russ the exhausts look rather new and shiny, give them a coat of typhus, followed by a drybrush of Ryza rust and a drybrush of ironbreaker. It gives an oily, rusted exhaust look (see below) that will go well with the weathering you have introduced so well.

Truesight Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks Baz! I think I'll do just that :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4126249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truesight Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 All you veterans feel free to give all the advice you have by the way. I feel my painting has gone up a few notches just in the last few weeks through my interactions here.

WarriorFish Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 As long as you're always trying to improve or try out new things that's the important thing as that's how you grow as a hobbyist That doesn't mean you have to make a leap with every model though of course Pick something that you'd like to improve upon then go looking for ideas. For example lenses are all over the place and can make a big difference to how a model appears, most people use blending for this so a bit of research or questions here on the B&C and try something new out. That's how I finally got my weathering techniques down and even now I'm still looking to develop and improve on them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4126356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The aim is to keep improving and it looks like, from your posts here, that is just what you are doing.

I feel my painting has gone up a few notches just in the last few weeks through my interactions here. Same sentiments here. Take a tour of the board as a whole there are some ridiculously talented people around who will happily share their techniques. Since I've joined the board 2 years ago i feel my painting has jumped forward leaps and bounds. Main thing is keep practising and experimenting.

Vel'Cona Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 After seeing so much excellent use of Typhus Corrosion thus far, I'm tempted to use it on my upcoming Astartes project. Not sure how corroded I want my Rhinos, though . . .

WarriorFish Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It can work nicely as a mud or dirt look too, that's how I use it. Agrax Earthshade helps there (as ever) but you could attack it with other colours to alter how it appears quite easily I imagine :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308891-cassels-company/page/2/#findComment-4126523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'd second the lenses. Makes such a BIG difference and there's a few really good examples on the board. Thanks to the different guides I bit the bullet and stared doing them. Takes a little practice but the end result is definitely worth it!!!

Vel'Cona Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Agreed, lenses add a ton of depth and a point of color for darker models, especially. I used to think it was some kind of advanced technique but frankly it's super easy to get a decent result even for the ham-fisted (like myself).

Truesight Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 The Emperors newest iron fist is ready to smash his enemies. They still need to be rusted a little, but I was so happy with them I had to put out an update. I'd like to thank everyone for their support here, it really helps alot in getting motivation. I feel much more excited to play now that I won't be tabling grey soulless plastic. Speaking of grey plastic, there is 40 infantry looking at me with wearing patience. I think I'll assembly line-paint 30 of them before the aircraft. Wish me luck!
