Wraithwing Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 And now for something completely different: Armies on Parade display board WIP. Was hoping to get a LOT more done today, but my daughter was up in the night with a stomach bug, so have been running on half power today. Hopeing to get the quadrant around the outside done tomorrow, and the board primed and basecoated. Here's an earlier shot of whats going on the board: The finished product will have more trees, and I'll be painting it to match my bases.

Wraithwing Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks for the positive comments guys! The thought occurred to me that in all my excitement over Armies on Parade, I forgot to post photos of my latest unit, the Wulfen: I'm quite pleased with how these guys turned out. I screwed up the first coat of primer I used on them, and had to strip them, and it really demotivated me with this unit. I've had quite wall to climb to get them finished, and AoP provided the push I needed. Now that I've finished them, I really love them, so will be painting the second pack ASAP.

Wraithwing Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Over the last few days, I've been trying out a test scheme for my Heresy Wolves. I like the darker grey, but as you can probably tell by now, I'm a sucker for the 2nd ed blue grey. As such, I've tried to replicate it for the heresy, like this: OK, where to begin. Weirdly, I'm not feeling this colour scheme compared to my 40K wolves, which I just love. Something feels like it is missing, and I just can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the lack of wolfy bits that is putting me off? Also, I feel as though the gold doesn't work well with the blue/grey. A couple of things I have done differently with this scheme over my normal Wolves: First, I've used Agrax as the shade, instead of Nuln, as I wanted the armour to have a dirtier, grittier feel. Secondly, I've used Reikland Fleshade to shade the gold, and then highlight with Auric Armour Gold. Previously I've used Agrax to shade the gold. Like I said above, I just can't put my finger on what is not working with this scheme for me. I really want to break the Heresy mold and move away from using dark grey. What do you guys think?

Wraithwing Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 I've just whacked a coat of Agrax over the gold, and I think it's improved it somewhat: I still think it's missing something, though it is improved slightly. Maybe I am just too used to wolf bling? Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Needs red. Triangle patterns on the sword and shoulders and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Callidan Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 It's looking good dude. I would say that your right, it's just that you're so used to the wolf bling. And maybe because you just have a black shoulder pad without any red for the pack marking. I have to laugh though. I used the same head for the first guy I'm painting up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrolf the Cunning Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Your painting, as always is really awesome. You've already addressed the baby blue but I'd love to see your take on the traditional darker grey, wishful thinking or could you be convinced?

Dantay VI Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I might have some shadow rey at home..need to check the old pots. I loved it far more than the newer blues. I would suggest going with something like sycorax as the highlight for the golds. I also personally start off with balthasar gold for mine as I like the darker look; I think you need to introduce another colour like a red as Wispy suggested to break up the wall of blue grey. Or some knotwork ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
