Aebethan (Death Knell of the Loyalists)

[Rangaman]

Very dark...perfect!

 

Edit: Not sure how to base those, I personally like all my stuff to match but swamp seems a tad out there for Justaerin.

[Dantay VI]

Swamp sounds cool, maybe throw in some zombie bits.... A little like in False Gods when Horus goes to Davins moon and gets stabbed with the Athame :)

@Rangaman

Thanks for the praise! And yeah I think the swamp idea might not contrast enough with the models.

 

@Dantay

That's what I was thinking along the lines of, however, these guys are timeline wise after Molech - I'm leaning more towards destroyed city bases :)

[Dantay VI]

Why not mix the 2?

 

A cityscape awash with skeletal parts and a dark swampy ooze. All that is left of a populace after being virus bonbed.

 

Such is the punishment for refusing compliance to the Warmaster :D

This. Just, well, yeah. Do this.

 

Justaerin look lovely, it's a beautiful black you've got going, Depthcharge. Personally, I would add an extreme edge highlight of some sort, but I doubt that it's really necessary, as they look pretty damn good already. I am so very jealous of Athrawes getting to face this army on the table sometime.

[Dantioch]

Love them dude! Nice and dark. About the bases why don't you try something similar to Loken and Abaddon's scenic base?

WIP of Reaver Chieftain Izek Kerradon -

[depthcharge12]

Lol so no joke, I came up with the above cool name for my Reaver chieftain...and guess what name I read about in the new FW book???

 

Reaver Chieftain Korradon (pg. 62).

 

No joke how close I came to that name. I actually wrote out a list of Cthonic names (honestly it's just -geddon or -addon with a prefix) and I came up with that name before I read it :P

 

I don't know whether to be ashamed, surprised, or humored lol. Is Alan Bligh becoming that predictable? Haha

Finally finished painting (until the chains for the skulls get here):

 

Highlighted lenses, painted faces, picked out facial details.

Next up are the despoilers.

Started work:

Great, now I wanna play sons of Horus. I love that green. Also those justarian are just brutal.

Thank buddy! I'm trying to shoot for the dark, jade green instead of the super sea green.

 

Here's a close up - I'm trying to get the gold down but due to a crappy brush I'm having a hard time. On top of that, Gehennas gold is a pain to work with, and I've even tried to use Lahmian medium to thin it out a bit:

[Dantay VI]

Gehenna's Gold does need a fair bit of thinning unfortunately.

 

It also needs a lot of mixing, or the red really separates out of it. I use water for the golds. For some weird reason, to me it makes them shinier.

 

Looking good though. Hope you get new brushes soon

[Viridia]

Reaver Squad Korradon is looking especially brutal. Looking forward to seeing them under paint.

[Fire Golem]

I really like your green... Prefer it to mine. Have you mentioned what colours you used? Is it the FW ones?

[Calas Typhon]

I will be honest, I have never been a fan of the burnt gold colour of Gehenna but i think that the model you have there looks quite neat.

[depthcharge12]

@Dantay

Yeah I've tried using the medium and it likes to separate out too which is unfortunate :(

 

@Viridia

Thanks man! I was trying to do that today but I was running into some issues today. I think I thinned my Lupercal green too much and my guys started turning into that pale green, so they need a redo:

@fire golem

Thanks man! You're always around my threads every now and then and I appreciate that. For my despoilers (and what I'm trying to replicate, but am failing with the reavers) is:

 

1.) Prime black

2.) base coat everything Lupercal green

3.) zenithial highlight with SoH green

4.) wash with coelia Greenshade

 

@Cthonia

Thanks! It still needs a highlight, so it is still heavy with the wash on it. Now that I know people are looking at it I'll have to make sure it's spot on and perfect :O

 

 

Also, a sneak peak of Justaerin brother bling bling:

He just needs the gold dipped skulls now ;)

[Fire Golem]

Ha, you're welcome :D thanks for the recipe, I'm guessing you used an airbrush then? I need to get one at some point, I think that would go a long way towards speeding up my painting (I hope anyway).

 

Justaerin looks good too, I also use gold dipped skulls on my SoH, I like that part of their fluff.

[Dantay VI]

Hmmm, so it is splitting. I generally dilute mine 1:1 with water with minmal problems, but then I give mine a good stir with a wooden barbecue skewer and a flipping good shake.

 

Is it okay on the palette but separating on the model? Could be the brush has water in it. I have noticed that if my GW brushes have been soaking for a while and I dry them off to use, sometimes the paint goes on really watery, I If I notice it, I will just wipe the paint off into the tissue, taking the excess moisture and then start again.

 

I also tend to use it as a layer over scorched brown or mixed with a little balthasar gold as a highlight

 

Looks pretty good on the Jusaerin though

[Legionary Pallas]

Lead the Speartip, brother! Show these dogs what it means to be Lupercal's elite!

[Memento Of Prospero]

Justaerins are crisp. Like Coffee Crisp!

[Jerichus]

Good Jorb! I like the weathering and the skulls, they add a ton of depth to the model
