Enigami Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Without further ado, here is the last half of the guide for my grey. If anyone (looking at you Athrawes) wants more specifics than I've listed let me know and I'll try to break it down further. 7. Here I've added the details to my buddy's praetor. The silver is done in a nice thinned coat of GW lead belcher. The brass is done in GW warplock bronze followed by GW runelord brass. I did the face in three wet layers of different browns ending in GW cadian fleshtone. I then washed the lead belcher with a light GW nulin oil wash followed by picking out the highlights with more belcher. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsuheglful.jpeg http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpst9pxkwx3.jpeg 8. Next I sealed the praetor with a flat clear coat and started to mix up some oil paint. I mixed together Winsor & Newton Titanium White and Burnt Umber until I got a nice "muddy" looking color and consistency. A little bit of mineral spirits was added to help mix the paint, but keep it nice and thick. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsyht9ma2i.jpeg 9. Next I gave the praetor a liberal bath of mineral spirits. Working quickly I carefully drug the muddy mixture into the crack, recess, and around studs. I let this dry for about 20 minutes and then went back and cleaned it up with mineral spirits, q-tips, and a brush. This is the result. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsqfxc74lh.jpeg http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsvyyotmnk.jpeg He's now sealed in a gloss coat and awaiting luna wolves transfers. I also made a little progress on the justaerins by blocked in all my colors. This guy still needs washes, weathering (to break up the black), and two oil washes. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zps1imyijeg.jpeg Oh and then there's this... Don't ask me why my buddy wanted him in SoH green to go with his Lunas. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zps2tcxpoxg.jpeg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322521-enigamis-pre-heresy-log-sehkmet-conversions/page/2/#findComment-4432804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrawes Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Thank you so much for the guide, as soon as the Thousand Sons are finished, I will give this a try. Quick question, what do you use for your flat clear coat and your gloss coat? I've been looking for ones I can use through my airbrush. Do you have to thin them?

Enigami Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 So far I've had luck with about every clear coat. I usually play the dangerous game of can clear coat, but only with fresh cans and perfect conditions. It doesn't hurt that I can spray inside without humidity. If I go the airbrush route, I usually use Vallejo products and thin about 50/50. I think it depends on the airbrush. My grex would run with a slightly thicker mixture, but my Iwata needs a thinner mixture. I'd just play around with it and make sure to record how each ratio performs.

Enigami Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 This made it to my office today. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps03lozlzm.jpeg When the box came in, my secretary kindly informed me and the rest of the office that "my toys" were here. Worth it. I'll start posting WIP pictures as soon as I unbox everything tonight. It's an awful lot of stuff as its half an ultramarines army and the rest of my buddy's luna wolves.

Enigami Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 This is my first attempt at transfers. I'm fairly pleased with how they have turned out. There is a little bit of silvering on the shoulder pad, but its so unnoticeable that my camera didn't pick it up. I used micro sol and micro set, both of which I highly recommend. Finally, I sprayed him with a flat clear coat to bring the gloss down and seal in the transfers. What do you guys thing? http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpspkqbrjtp.jpeg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322521-enigamis-pre-heresy-log-sehkmet-conversions/page/2/#findComment-4438966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 He's one of the best looking praetors I've seen so far. The armor looks excellent and the transfers look perfect. Excellent job.

Enigami Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 While I'm getting everything base coated and put together I have a brief update of something I'm working on during my downtime. This guy is done up to the point of weathering. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsy6mn7gem.jpeg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322521-enigamis-pre-heresy-log-sehkmet-conversions/page/2/#findComment-4445558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schultzhoffen Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 What colour did you use as a base for your ultramarine? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322521-enigamis-pre-heresy-log-sehkmet-conversions/page/2/#findComment-4446745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigami Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 His base coat is done in 4 different blue mixes with an airbrush. First I primed black followed by a coat of Vallejo model air blue (004). Then I sprayed three more coats of various vma blue (004) and vma light blue (101) mixes. I started with a 75:25 mix all over, then a 50/50 from overhead and at a 45 degree angle, and finally finished with a overhead highlight of 25:75. I'll try to post some better pictures of the gradient I achieved with this.

Aramis K Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Really like the shade of blue, muted and serious but still bright enough for Ultras, and that gradient on the pod is ace.

Enigami Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks buddy! That's exactly what I was going for. I've always disliked really bright Ultras, but wanted to give them a shot. You can't see it because my lighting is terrible, but the same gradient on the pod is present on all the Ultras. I'll have to throw together a light box at some point.

Ishagu Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Your Ultras look very, very different from most others I've seen and my own. I do like the colour, and you are really making progress with a large amount of models!

Enigami Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks, Ishagu! I was really trying to go for something different. I feel like the traditional scheme doesn't lend itself to my style of painting very well. Unintentionally, my models end up with a "simple realism" vibe. I thought I could achieve this a little better with an non-traditional scheme. I'm very excited for your and everyone else's thoughts on the scheme once I get more of the models to the detail stage, especially the kitbashed Locutorus.

RedInventor Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Happy to see you are still getting at it Enigami, your Sons of Horus and Ultramines look awesome. That's saying something because I don't usually like Smurfs!

Enigami Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 So I've been making tiny steps on my Ultras. Here is a pre-Knights Errant Tylos Rubio. I've also been struggling with a dreadnaught drop pod. I found the doors would break off because there was too much room for the doors to move and the resin holding the doors in was too thin. I found a handy way to remedy this. If anyone would like a tutorial let me know. Without further ado, here is Rubio: http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zps9bzbgdni.jpeghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsfmx4biue.jpeg He still needs a little weathering and some matte varnish. He's still shiny from the decals.

Enigami Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 He everyone, I've made a bit of progress since last I've posted. First up is the final version of my first two Thousand Sons. I have also completed my tartaros termies, but have not had a chance to get pictures. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/IMG_1961_zpsrjrckpqt.jpg http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/IMG_1960_zpseido6nov.jpg Next up is one of two vindicators I finished for my death guard. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/IMG_1958_zpslhvd1dvg.jpg http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/IMG_1959_zpsk33ba75t.jpg I've also been working on a few other projects. Here is a Horus I completed for a buddy. (Sadly Horus is missing his groin flaps) http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsbxuadh0o.jpeg Finally a Sister. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpstlxujukl.jpeg Any comments or criticisms are welcome. I always want to learn how I can improve my painting.

Robzilla Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 How have I only just found this thread?! Amazing work all around. Absolutely love it! The board looks amazing... And you have quite possibly the best luna wolf scheme I've ever seen! Keep the good stuff coming!

Enigami Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 I've got pictures of the Thousand Sons termies I finished the other day.

Enigami Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Howdy everyone, It's been awhile since I've posted on here. However, I've been making great progress on a lot of projects. Sadly the most time consuming has no place here, but now that its completed. I can focus on some Heresy goodness. Whats to come. In the painting queue I have around 2000 points of death guard and two 2500 point mechanicum lists (one ordo reductor and one cybernetica). I'll start off today by posting the first part of the Ordo Reductor list. Enter my buddy's Porphyrion. He wanted something quick that would look decent on the table top. I'm not entirely happy with it, but my buddy didn't want me to spend any more time on it. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/IMG_2092_zpsnpmsdpdx.jpg http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/IMG_2091_zpswejvz73y.jpg http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/IMG_2090_zpskbqjj4ya.jpg I'm tempted to tell my buddy that he can't have him back as the Porphyrion needs to stay and defend my spice rack, but oh well. Let me know what I can do better next time!

Enigami Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Inferno has me all excited to get a little more work done on my Thousand Sons, so I've started converting up some tartaros Sehkmet. Here they are: http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/IMG_2123_zpsyokewvfq.jpg I've kitbashed some of the 40k scarab occult with some plastic tartaros as I very much dislike all of the flame style trim on the 40k versions. I'm currently thinking about removing the heads and replacing them with the 30k Thousand Sons upgrade kit heads. What do you all think? On another note, here is a little progress on the the last 2.5k of my 10k point death guard army. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/IMG_2124_zpsoysztkjr.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322521-enigamis-pre-heresy-log-sehkmet-conversions/page/2/#findComment-4656213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 That SOS looks amazingly creepy. Great skin tone and eyes. Love your Horus too. Looking forward to seeing some paint on those Sehkmet.
