Doctor Perils Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Added another agrax wash on the cost and burnished gold on the metal. In the right direction? ...man, colour scheme is everything. It changes these guys so freaking much. Stellar stuff, Helts. You know, I blame you two for my having gone and picked up a box of Skitarii, with all your Steampunk and Kill Team inspiration...

Teetengee Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yeah, I wouldn't go with bright contrast colours, dull reds, purples, and greens will still pop plenty.

Magos Takatus Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I love this. Nice work. :) What colour is the metallic areas around the gun mount? Is it a silver colour with a sepia tone? I can't quite tell. The wood veneer is absolutely brilliant.

helterskelter Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Looking good. How'd you do the volkite glow? Thanks dude, it's kabalite green on the bottom, highlighted with sybarite green, a little wash with coelia greenshade, then a touch of nihilakh oxide on last highlight and round the edges.

KhorneHunter57x Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Very, very cool. Always nice to see something other than the typical Mars-style red, and the steampunk style just fits well with AdMech. I especially like the little swirl in the tank on the Dominus' back - makes it look like a gas of some sort.Any chance of uploading/retaking the rest of the photos, for those of us who didn't see this back then? I'd love to see the rest of your stuff, but Photobucket has other ideas...

That swirl is hilariously accidental, but thanks! And yeah I'll post the onager that started it but I'll repost the ranger when his squads done. Also while I've got folk here what do we think about Stygies infiltrate stratagem and the use of fulgurite and corpuscarii? I want some frankensteins gribblies in my army :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325564-steampunk-skitarii/page/3/#findComment-5028372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The Onagers are well painted, but the pattern on their hull looks wooden. Are they actually made of wood, or is that merely a pattern painted on a metallic hull? If the latter, is the pattern meant to serve as camouflage, to decorate it, or for other reasons?

Aqui Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If I hadn't seen these, and someone tried to explain the colour scheme, I'd have said it wouldn't work. Wooden panels and gold? I'm very glad to say I'm wrong. The scheme looks great and brilliantly executed :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325564-steampunk-skitarii/page/3/#findComment-5029059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
