Charlo Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 When it turns out your old Nuln Oil (right) is a lot darker and thicker than your new Nuln Oil (left)..... But I did get the wash down on everyone!

Prot Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Looking great.... that's the majority of work right there. You'll cruise through them now. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332459-charlos-ad-mec-tournament-reports-thoughts/page/4/#findComment-4999576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_b Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 They look ace, very cool. Nice seeing them getting churned out like that, the Adeptus Mechanicus way!

Charlo Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Thanks guys, the scheme is luckily very forgiving and dirty. I don't even highlight anything until I get to the energy coils on the guns! Going to give all the metal another go of Nuln (maybe a little bit of Agrax mixed in for depth) so they can attempt to match the first squad. Speaking of which, I never did backpacks for, so they need a good Nuln'in too!

CombatVet Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Looks great. Did you get you wash situation sorted? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332459-charlos-ad-mec-tournament-reports-thoughts/page/4/#findComment-5006136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Looks great. Did you get you wash situation sorted? Cheers dude. To be honest I think it was just old and a little contaminated! Some friends said that the washes tend to go that way towards the end of their life. I have a bit of black & brown inks from the early 2000's that I might mix with the nuln to try and get something a little thicker... I've also got a bunch of the AK effect paints (oil and the like) to try out when I get to the Onagers legs...

anarchistscourge Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Mix it with a bit of Agrax earth shade. New ones are always a bit ‘cleaner’ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332459-charlos-ad-mec-tournament-reports-thoughts/page/4/#findComment-5006420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Better pics this evening if I manage to finish em, but the Vanguard are almost there! Painted the shoulder pads the same burny yellow as the legs on one because I was in a Blanche-y mood and it apparently really balanced out the sceheme nicely! So doing it on all the rest. Also have some Washed Death Guard in the back.

Vel'Cona Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I see a bit of heresy back there . . .

Tyriks Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 So, I'm not a huge fan of the colors, but that's just my preference. The painting is well done, though!

Charlo Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Ta guys! So now the Skitarii can finally be put to bed! ....Except for basing (clear) and energy effects, but i'll do those when I come to do it on all of my Ad Mech stuff! I've got some time off work so today I have built a couple of little Enginseers: simple servo-arm swaps and less bling on the plastic ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332459-charlos-ad-mec-tournament-reports-thoughts/page/4/#findComment-5017739 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Day off yesterday so lots of progress! Kataphron Servitors done all bar some detail. Tin Bitz and Nuln Gloss is LOVELY! And then we have the command elements of the force; a Dominus, two Engineers and the Manbot himself!

Charlo Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Nice to see the 2nd ed Skullz techpriest! He set me back a few but he's so cool I had to! Especially for a Dominus. Your paint motivation has apparently grown a lot since I joined B&C, Charlo! Having a deadline helps a lot! As well as your dream faction :D Very impressive. Keep up the outstanding work and updates brother Thanks! It's messy but that is the style i'm going for... Sort of "Red Era/ 2nd Ed/ Blanche" mashup of bright colours and heavy washes/ weathering. While I won't get all the details done for my APOCALYPSE deadline, but just reach for the 3 colours + based minimum. However I'll come back and touch them up later ;) particularly some weathering power and the like I thinks, seeing as I came into a load for cheap a few months back!

Charlo Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Calling these guys done for now... Apocalypse only requires 3 colours and with now just under two weeks to paint most of my Custodes... Obviously i'll come back to them after (same with the rest of the Ad Mech) to add things like weapon glow, brass & other details.

SpiritFox22 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Can't wait to see the finished products, as this is helping me get motivated to get started on my own Skitarii forces. Though I do have a question where did you get the clear bases?
