m0nolith Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Second Test Scheme. I wanted an excuse to do the Sons of Horus colour scheme without doing an whole SoH army, so this was a good excuse to try it out. Im....not a huge fan of it as it is. I like the basic colours, but I think I'm going to modulate the colour a little more with the airbrush on the next model to give it a little more contrast.

Markus_ Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Though I like the first scheme more, the second one is also a fantastic paintjob. This plog is a joy to go through.

Majkhel Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The blue schem is definitely better here. It's strinking, it's vibrant. Also it ties well with the base. Sons of Horus color scheme is hard as it tends to be dark, and flat, and ultimately - bland. Perhaps try to make it more vibrant some additional green tint? Or liven it up with more striking red and yellows? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323320-m0noliths-wip/page/15/#findComment-5375834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0nolith Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Doing more tests on my Van Saar. To clarify, the grey/blue ones are a commission, the sea green are my personal Gangers. I took my original test model and I changed a few things to really make him stick out. First I redid the reds, modulating it a little bit to give it a brighter hue. Then I changed the base to a rusted out one using FW and MIG Productions weathering powders. I also used a little Orange Rust weathering powder from Forgeworld in recesses to give him a more rusted out look. I also used some Nihilakh Oxide on the gold and silver parts, which works well aesthetically in my opinion, but I feel it could be a little messy right now. I also thought about using some oils to give hims some grime here and there, but I think that would be overdoing it. I also did similar things to the Blue/Grey Ganger as well. I changed up the yellows, gave him some more rust and also gave him some verdigris.

PowerHungryMonkey Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Both looking amazing.

Majkhel Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 For me, a definite improvement on the Son of Horus Ganger I like he contrast and brighter hue. The base looks kinda messy from this angle.

m0nolith Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Finished Asterion Moloc, Chapter Master of the Minotaurs. Back in 2016, I did some Miotaurs Tactical marines and posted them in a separate thread. A little while after that I sold off my entire painted and unpainted Minotaurs force. Recently I painted the Chapter Master of the Minotaurs, and I decided to try out a different scheme for him. For one, I modulated his bronze armour with the airbrush while I wet blended the armour of the Tac marines using a brush. The amount of verdigris used is clearly another big difference. In any case I'm putting the photos for them here to consolidate all my photos in one thread.
