Teun (Foxphoenix) Paints it Black

[Teun135]

For the prequel, read this post on my blog: http://teun135miniaturewargaming.blogspot.com/2016/10/paint-it-black-my-watch-begins_10.html

 

Now, in the last few weeks, I bought a lot of Deathwatch (Death Masque, 3 Razorbacks, 1 Kill Team, 1 Vanguard Squad, 1 Tactical Squad) and have been putting them all together. Now that they are all put together, I have started painting them. Here is what I have so far:

 

 

 

 

 

 

More to come as I finish them out. Stay tuned!

Looking Good !!!

Fantastic start. Great job keeping the colours vibrant.... that White Scars shoulder pad must have been primed white? NIce job.

[Teun135]

Thank you for the compliments! The white scars shoulder pad wasn't primed white, I just used about 4-5 very thin layers! I started with ulthan grey and built up to white scar white over multiple coats. I couldn't even tell you how many I did, to be honest. They were all very thin... the consistency of milk pretty much.

I got some work done last night:

 

 

 

The hot effect on the cannon took a while to get right, and I finally gave up and called it good. What do you think?

The burning effect on that Assault Cannon looks lovely! Edited October 21, 2016 by IronDrake28

Agreed, snazzy Dreadnought! Makes me almost want to start working on mine . . .

That heating of the barrel effect looks great and is a cracking way of getting extra colour into a DW model!!!

[Teun135]

Thanks! I guess I should link my newest picture of it with the base completed, despite the poor photographing conditions:

Love the heat effect. But should it not also be on the bottom barrel that the bullets come out of?

On a minigun, the barrels rotate to dissipate heat and spread it among several barrels instead of just one. Typically this effect is closer to the chamber than the muzzle, so if anything that is where I screwed up.

I'm so glad we have a game where we can paint models and talk about military weaponry. Thank Emperor for 40k!

That's cool I didn't know that. Well you still did a great job there's no doubt about that

i guess there are 2 camps of painting barrel heat,as we can see yours above (well done by the way ) which is just fired or firing a continuous 3000 round burst or the other which is semi cooled and showing heat discolouration only towards the tips of the barrel.

great work FP135

cheers mithril
