jaxom Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Groovy. The only thing that comes to mind for pearlescent, specifically, would be white undercoat and then the medium with a small amount of ink. Doing wavy, thin bands of blue and purple get something like so Shard of Magnus 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/14/#findComment-4848049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shard of Magnus Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Thank! I'll give it a try and see if it gets me past the roadblock I'm stuck on. I think part of the problem is the basecoat is a tad too dark for the effect I want. The wavy lines look like a better approach than the methods I've tried so far as well.

Lord Commander Eidolon Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) I've had to make a short notice return to the UK for urgent family matters; thus this month will have to be a bye month - although i will be able to show the pledges off pretty soon after my return. I have also brought Saul Tarvtiz with me, so I will repair him whilst I am away! Got to kill time someway or another!! I have actually pretty much finished the re-done Apothecary diorama - just a case of 'assembling' it again, i'll post the pics at some point but unfortunately I am away from home and not likely to return prior to the deadline. I have also done some work re-glazing the rhino to make it more pink, however I think i am going to totally re-do it, in line with a new rhino that I've been working on in my WIP thread - this won't take long as it'll largely be a re-shade and highlight but the white spot colour will go, as its not bling enough for my veterans!!.

Iron Bars Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Finished my pledge for this month, also got a lightbox, but still experimenting with pictures. The white is still reflecting to much.

Sagentus Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 These iron warriors are looking good. Plenty of weathering which is whats needed for them imo.

Lemainus Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Man we are coming UP ON THE DEADLINE and I am not finished. lol. I have completed two more Big :cussing Hammer Guys, refurbished an annihilated rifleman, redone the basecoat on my Daemon Summoner, and fiddled with the two surprises I teased for my killteam like thirty eight years ago. Rearmament and Redeployment about 70% complete - will take some pictures when I have finished - which will (Emperor willing) be tomorrow sometime.

FirstSonofHorus Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Month 2 Vow Complete: Will get a proper lightbox photo as per usual when I have pinned that damnable model to his flight stand. If I ever do a unit of these I will be creating something for them to stand on. Super cool work everyone. Two beautiful and different Howling Griffon armies is a real treat.Nice conversions on that very interesting custom chapter, Grot. Iron Warriors are hard to hate and you've captured that sinister inhumanness (Take better photos, please!). Also, Bullgryns *shudder* they are nasty in 8th edition, nice work though bad news for your opponents.

Lemainus Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Eye Guy Complete! His black robes photographed really matte. There's more depth to them than that. Couldn't figure it out.
