Thunder_god Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 How did you do the eyes on the Termie? I followed the steps I found here: http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2011/04/space-marine-librarian-complete.html?m=1 Scroll about 1/2 way down and you'll see how he did it on his librarian. I used the paints I had on hand, mainly Reaper lavender and white, and the old citadel laviathan purple wash. I just went at it and hoped for the best. I'll try it again, that's for sure.

Thunder_god Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have begun my Corvus: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/8B82899F-4AAE-4583-A20B-94A8112EA64D_zpsb6xtrtuk.jpg And a Black Shield has petitioned to join the Watch: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/F3B7E935-3B07-4DB5-9A7D-082280825E15_zpswkaavne1.jpg Nothing is known of this Brother, save that he wears an ancient suit of power armor and arrived at the watch fortress already bearing the mark of the Sigilite on his breast...many say he is an omen of dark days to come. We shall see. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325295-tgs-deathwatch-plog/page/2/#findComment-4493226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder_god Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Did a test paint on one veteran tonight. Base is Vallejo Black Primer. First highlight is Tamiya German gray. Final highlight is Tamiya Sky grey. Then a 2-1 glaze of Lahmian Medium and Nuln Oil. I just wish the picture would show what the model looks like. I'm pleased. This wil make gor a fast and easily repeatable method to batch paint armor. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/CC1D518E-9CF8-4940-B041-587F60DB299D_zpszhefq2mq.jpg Later.

Vash Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Nice subtle high lights. I like it. Its hard to get the picture to depict reality. Specially with dark colours in a not optimum lit area. But from what I can see on the areas that are more visible, the high lights looks smooth and realistic.

Thunder_god Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Vash, I'm going to purchase a small light box soon to help with my pictures. I took this one outside this morning and it better 'captures' the effect: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/1903C591-FE7B-48F5-9968-6BE443A7E0A4_zpshkprxqyz.jpg Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

Vash Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 A light box is really nice. I use that my self. Mine is of a simple design, made of cloth/nylon. With a professional camera I don't need a light source if I am outside. But on to topic. The black looks clean and nice. Hard work for to do something like that :) Is this a test model or do you usually paint the armour first completely and then the other colours/details?

Thunder_god Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Vash, a little bit of both. I'm trying to refine my technique for airbrushing black armor. I'll hand paint the details as neatly as possible. I really don't want to do touch ups on that black armor. Fortunately these guys are not just covered in ornamentation.

ChoooChoooTemplar Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Smooth work there TG. Very much like your highlighting with the airbrush, might borrow your guide if you don't mind too much Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325295-tgs-deathwatch-plog/page/2/#findComment-4495382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Go right ahead. I have no 'secret formulas'. If I share a modeling tip, take it and run with it!

Thunder_god Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Thank you War. Here's where Vet #1 stands tonight: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/7FA67FF3-DE6B-4FF1-9705-D4DA177DED9A_zpsaflif1g4.jpg He's starting to look like a Deathwatch Marine now. I will say, that this some of the cleanest painting I have ever done. I REALLY trying to keep errant colors off the armor, as I don't know how I'd be able to clean it up. Once I get this one done I can start batch painting the other 4 for his unit. Later.

Prot Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Agreed, you nailed the head on this fig really well. I'm just finding the head sculpts are so articulate now that doing a good base foundation and some experience with the flesh shading gives awesome results like you have. In the old days you pretty much had to 'paint on' the facial muscles and make these big bug eyes. Now no one even paints eyes... and you don't really need to. This guy really pops though. Agree on the hair as well it all looks really natural. Very nice. P.S. What is the leather colour you're using? I started with Duncan's painting tutorial and used Doombull Brown (or something like that) and used Agrax shade. It's a LOT darker than yours. I'm just curious what you used.

Thunder_god Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Mithril, the shoulder pad pic is coming. My citadel air paints arrived at my local games workshop today. Vel, thank you. Vash, the leather is the original base color Khemri Brown. I bought three pots of it when the color change happened. Once it gets a little Agrax on it, it will look the way I like it. I hope to finish this chap off tonight. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325295-tgs-deathwatch-plog/page/2/#findComment-4496102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbrushing then detail painting. Batch work should make it quick.
