BlackTriton Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Here is the usual post about how I take on the disciple of Caliban scheme! Since I painted most of my other tactical in various color while searching for their identity, I started with a Devastator squad. Turns out free handing a satisfying devastator symbols is harder than the disciple chapter badge! I really need to practice free handing all the squad designation, but i was surprised how hard the DA DEV one is. Here's some pic! http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20160830_184106_zpsfxdw97t3.jpghttp://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20160830_184114_zps7sunyab4.jpghttp://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20160830_183959_zpsvwvqg3kz.jpghttp://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20160830_183814_zpsllcq9baz.jpg Some highlight still to do, I wanted to take the pic while I still had sunlight. the cable need painting (i did not have the right yellow paint), and some other details are missing I just found out I did not close my white paint correctly and the texture in the white area is actually shard of dried paint gonna have to buy a new bottle.

BlackTriton Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 The bronze does look interesting as you say, you self draw that lion? Every symbols on my marines are painted by hand, yes. It may not look as good as a decal, but i will say that every one should learn to free hand their chapter symbols at some point, its very rewarding!

Chaplain Lucifer Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Very nice DoC! Though: Have you tried to paint the whole lenses in red instead of blue? Somehow I feel red goes best with green and also helps to have a more limited pallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTriton Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Very nice DoC! Though: Have you tried to paint the whole lenses in red instead of blue? Somehow I feel red goes best with green and also helps to have a more limited pallet. I wanted to differentiate the "usual" lenses from the "heavy weapon" lenses to give the devastator a bit of their own personality. I will see how it looks next to a TAC and assault squad before deciding if I want it all red. Now that I look at’em through some picture, I really need to work those mould lines on my next models. I tend to forget them, it’s like I don’t even see them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTriton Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 May I ask all experienced brother's here how I should highlight the black? I did a edge highlight with eshin grey, really dark almost doesn't show... should I push it more with mechanicus standard grey, and then administratum grey for a progressive hightlight or is there a simpler way for the man of the line?

Major_Gilbear Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Highlight to a slightly grey-er colour, then glaze it back down with a thinned 50/50 mix of blue and black ink. This adds a little blue to the colour so it seems darker than it really is, and this also allows you get the highlights bright enough to see.

Epher Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Great looking devastators. I really like how you painted the weapons with the bronze casings. Great job on the chapter badges, they look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackTriton Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Here an early pic to my new idea, its still rough since i re-purposed an already painted model. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20160901_203507_zpsbqp7htqf.jpghttp://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20160901_203414_zpsy95gp4dx.jpg I realised the deathwing would be a probleme since dark angel termi do not come with blank shoulder, so I cant paint over my chapter badge. Of course E-Bay is the first thing that come to mind, but what if I could include the Deathwing broken sword in my color scheme? what if the deathwing from a successor kept the regular deathwing shoulder in honor the Parent chapter? kinda how deathwatch does it. so? a flash of genius of crazy man dream?

BlackTriton Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Been a while since my last update, I painted a squad of assault marine, a squad of robed veteran and am now working on a venerable dread. Pic’s are coming as soon as I finish my light box. The topic for today is basing. I admit not giving it much though in the past, being quite happy to leave them black. Now that I want to get to it, I don’t know where to start. How do you choose your base? What would complement the Disciple of Caliban color scheme?

Major_Gilbear Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I think a light base would complement the dark scheme of the marines personally. Something like a warm beige/biscuit colour? Alternatively, you could go with a dark grey and then use snow to "lighten" the appearance of the base and provide good contrast with the models. In terms of style... Well, what do you fancy doing? Interior/ship/building themes are quite easy and look good in light colours, ruins/broken paving/broken concrete/gravel are also quite easy and also look good in lighter colours. Other bases are very doable too, but can quickly start to become quite a bit of work (for example, things like crystals, swamp, dense vegetation, lava, etc.).

BlackTriton Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 How about a desert world aesthetic? Agrellan wasteland along some Milliput slate? Maybe add some sand, could also add some mud pit here and there on larger bases... My other design would be a "broken and Swampy industrial area" with concrete and metal plate mix with a bit of mud. No idea how to achieve this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Black triton. I myself am going with swampy, I haven't done it yet, but have a very good idea of what I will be doing. instead of a mud I'm going for walking through/next to a body of water/marsh look. There will be random spots of dirt on mixed in with water. I will be using normal basing material, and where i want my water to be "deep" instead of just on the surface, I will be painting a dark teal color. I'll be adding "real water" by woodlands scenic, i think that's what they're called. For my on "just barely on the surface", i guess muddy, I'm going to add a green wash over my painted sand, and while the wash is still a little wet, brush on some real water. Flock will be added to taste. That's my plan for a swamp base. Testers glass maker seems to work too from my research. Maybe you could add your industrial bits over the water, and brush some real water on it to look wet also. Just some ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTriton Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 JBaeza94, Brother, I am very interested by the result you will get, do not forget to post it! I ordered some supply and will experiment with a "dead earth desert" look using method proposed by the good major here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTriton Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Time for an update, I experimented with basing my miniature, here is what my first "succesfull" results are: http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20161118_191321_zpsq8lmnc95.jpghttp://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20161118_191306_zpstor7pnkp.jpghttp://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20161118_191215_zpsec2bu6cb.jpg This was all done using agrellan earth, agrellan badland and milliput.

Epher Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Oh, on another note... The colors on the weapons look great! The worn bronze kind of has a steam punk feel but it really works well on your models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTriton Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thank's y'all! Oh, on another note... The colors on the weapons look great! The worn bronze kind of has a steam punk feel but it really works well on your models. I like it a lot to, I actually took the idea from "Madfly-art" who did something similar. I love it since you do not see a lot of bolter in something else than red of black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTriton Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 With all the enthusiasm of the new update coming, in I would like to share some update with my force. It as been nearly 1 year since I decided of my paint scheme and it has grown a lot in the meanwhile! today some picture of the first Rhino and the Master of the third ! http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20170629_164742_zpswqmxs9vr.jpghttp://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20170629_164847_zpsrpi0csw8.jpghttp://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20170629_164841_zpsafzfnhj3.jpg lighting was weird today, will post more when I can get more good picture.

BlackTriton Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 First Company Deathwing Squad, still some work to be done on details all round, but I liked how they turned out. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/blacktriton1/20170705_200611_zpsizvcpwua.jpg although they harbor their chapters color, deathwing of the first company of the disciple of caliban keep the right arm in the bone white of the deathwing to honor the origin and tradition of the First Legion, or so would they tell you...

BlackTriton Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Here is my future command squad with a company champion, I kitted the Veterant with power maul and bolt pistol, but may change them to Bolter for more versatility to no point cost. In the backgroud is a WiP of the Razorback I want them to ride along with a chaplain. I like most of the poses, but the one on the far right is a bit off, and I dont know why.. http://i.imgur.com/Uo3hscQ.jpg Bonus pic my first try at a ravenwing, as always all not 3D symbole are free handedI still dont know how to paint the front light, if anyone has some insight on that. http://i.imgur.com/NUtOFGX.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/O1GK6Uo.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/AWGXlUs.jpg EDIT: I could really use a light box, if anyone has a good tuto, last one I tried failed miserably..
