keeblerartillery Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hey guys - Here are what I have finished for my Carmine Blades (Blood Angels Successor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Gorgeous - stellar work. As far as I can tell this is not their canon scheme though? Very much like where you've taken it, just curious is all. I'm in love with that chrome-ish gold too. Have you got plans on how to tackle the Chapter symbol? Also, is the blue around the helms intended as lighting from beneath?

keeblerartillery Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks Draakur! It is the Carmine Blades' canon scheme but not the Blood Angels, at least as far as the codex depicts them. Thankfully their chapter symbol is coming out on the new transfer sheet so I won't have to fail miserably trying to freehand it! And no the blue is more intended as my shadow. I didn't want to do grey because I felt it was too White Scar-y or dirty looking. I just wanted to try something new and different and I think it turned out. I have a few issues with it but hopefully will sort it out by the time I do more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Excellently modelled and painted, but I feel more contrast needed on the bases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeblerartillery Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm sorry but I believe that comment's negligence speaks for itself (couldn't resist). Also yea the bases had a LOT more contrast before I sealed them. For whatever reason the varnish darkened them up a lot and I lost all of the pigment work I had done on their feet and the bases themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Ah ok, so they're meant to be that deep, maroon red? All I have to go on is their Lexicanum entry, where they're not nearly as dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeblerartillery Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Ah, ok I see what you mean. No, not that dark - that is my take on how the red should look :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Yeh cool, fair enough. You've certainly made it work, looks great - especially next to the clean, crisp white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 the swords...the swords.... are they simply shades of grey airbrushed i assume...? ....stunning work, maybe try rehighlight the bases...i had a friend who used to paint, varnish then re do all his metals so they didn't look dull ( warhammer fantasy) it worked well. cheers Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Matt Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Very cool. Have you got more coming up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeblerartillery Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yea! I'm currently working on a sicaran and fire raptor. Once those are done I'm turning to some assault marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
