Interrogator Stobz Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 First..... Legion. Welcome Brother, nice choice of marine you have there. I hope to see many more in the future, I am slowing so you young folk need to pick up the slack BS EDIT: Critique time; he looks great, love your light bone, the highlights and the weathering is fantastically subtle. But, don't be afraid of deeper darker recesses (both armour and icons) for a better contrast and to help him pop...and you need to add some colour to the right tactical arrow ASAP.

Dosjetka Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks for the feedback, Stobz. ;) But, don't be afraid of deeper darker recesses (both armour and icons) for a better contrast and to help him pop... Good point. The colours are a bit washed out due to the harsh light I use for taking pictures but I also didn't want to put pure Argax Earthshade because clean-up is a nightmare and I wanted to get the model as quickly as possible. The aim with this project is to overlook minor mistakes and cut a few corners to have a fully painted and based marine in one painting session. and you need to add some colour to the right tactical arrow ASAP. That bad? Well, I don't want to add an extra colour to the model so it'll either be black (like on the knee pad) or dark red. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 RED. Hell I use a brown wash on my DW dudes, that stuff makes agrax look like milk. Hell of a job to tidy but worth it, I'd never consider watering down agrax for recesses, I do for plate shading though... :) Anyhoo, if you are happy that is the most important thing. He looks coolio, and the balance between speed painting and golden daemon efforts always requires a little sacrifice :devil: bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleqvin Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think it gives that nice triangle pull. You look at the shoulder across to other shoulder and then down to the one knee pad.It's a nice way to get a table ready paint job in a short amount of time.In the end if you're happy, that's what matters.Welcome to the First, Brother!

I quite like the off-white and it makes for quicker painting. :D Oh, I know that compared to proper brown washes, Argax is rather weak but it works well for this project so I'll stick to my guns. ;) I couldn't agree more. :devil: Welcome to the first Legion!

Dosjetka Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Because messing around with weathering pigments is so much more fun than writing important e-mails... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I like the model. Colour scheme/palatte is great. My only comment would be that I think he'd look truly majesterial on a much darker colour base - it would contrast well with his bone armour and throw him forward. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 That might just do it ^^. Add a dark wash to the base post texture, re-highlight and Robert's your fathers' brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
