I was prepared for it being liked and stolen aha ;)

 

It's just based on the old art so feel free! I'm saving it for HQs mainly. If I give Krole a Raptor Guard I may do those with tails too.

 

Orange power weapons (which I totally forgot to put some white scar on) are inspired by Master of Mankind when...

 

The Emperor gets his ass off the Throne and sets all the Custodes and Sisters weapons on fire with his psychic might.

Gettin' that belcher down...

 

Naggorath night next before the mass Nuln-ing... Heavily considering buying some of the gloss version though before I do, to preserve some of the shine.

Dude, check out the Molotow Liquid Chrome Pen!

Those are very cool! Maybe just a tad too shiny though? Would maybe detract from everything else with those - though just doing hilights could be a legit option.

 

Maybe I'll grab a fine nib one for yolo purposes.

 

NOTHING BUT LIES COME FROM HIS NOISE TUBE

 

This statement is insane enough to be coined by our psycho friends from the eye of Horus podcast.

 

Love those guys!

 

Meanwhile, I've been in Amsterdam over the Easter Weekend for some totally innocent and well regulated, responsible fun.

 

Decided to do a little bit on the Sisters this evening to get me back into the swing of things, girls are looking much better after a big wash.

 

Going to be bringing everything up lighter now, so a good few layers of drybrush on the fur to go grey > white but keep the brown undertone. Purple I'm unsure, will probably just hit it with more Naggorath to be sure before I do anything else lighter. Armour will now be (to use a technical term) "Runefang'd to feth"

 

...Then I need to learn how to paint skin.

 

Bonus: Suggest a colour for the bolters to me; was going to keep them metal but unsure...

Hiding your Psychic potential from the Imperial Tithe? That's a whippin'.

Knight Centura Pigtails gets a nice bit of shadeeeee :ph34r.:

Black if you're going to have bright silver, contrast is super important. I'd suggest also trying the gloss black wash at the end of all the dry brushing. Gives a lot of detail back to the cracks and barely darkens the metal at all

I did think about black when looking at my reference image again, so may well do that.

 

Gloss is a good shout too. I was going do it on the metal but didn't have it and needed to make progress. So once I've got the rune fang on, give it a blast of gloss nuln yeah?

Red bolters... Will help tie them into the Custodes paint scheme :smile.:

 

Did consider it, but I'd like to keep them separate if I'm honest! They are independent forces of each other in all but their authority within the Imperium and closeness to the Imperial Household. I also want to keep their scheme in the realm of white/ silver/ purple.

 

When I'm home I think i'll try multiple layers of nuln on the casing of one to build up to the black I want, while keeping the metallic background.

 

What do people think about the plumes. Currently I'm aiming for grey with a very subtle purple tinge... But thought perhaps maybe different across each squad?

Fur done!

 

Went over the brown with dawnstone, then ushabti then white scar to get me a layered realistic fur look.

Started on the capes too... Got the hilights done but at an impasse - saw my old purple ink and tried putting it over to see if it smoothed everything out. It did a lot! But it's rather shiny and florescent... Thoughts?

 

Without/ with flash:

Tried to get some decent quality pics of what I did today...! Instagram is so good for picture sizing and the zoom in under a light worked nicely to show off my work.

 

Hair and skin on the Sisters have base and wash done. Made a purple wash from Lahmian Medium and ol'skool purple ink that turned out PERFECT. Current the hair is a coat of that and a coat of nuln on top of dawnstone.

 

Going to drybrush the hair up to a white just leaving purple in the recesses. Waiting for my Palid Witch flesh to arrive before I do the skin, which will aim to be pale - a touch warmer than traditional raven guard.

While I was taking pics I got a beauty shot of my fave Custodian I've painted thus far:

BUT CHARLO! I hear you cry... That's the Tribune's head! Why is he on a Saggitarum?!

 

WELL BECAUSE...

 

My tribune shall be the Master of the Saggitarum Guard. He'll have the Paragon Axe-spear (with some extra flair) and a shield when I'm done...!
