DuskRaider Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Are they 30K or 40K? Red Cloak = 30K, Black Cloak = 40K Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/10/#findComment-5008859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 They’re 40k. I wanted to try something different. I started with black because the base of my red cloaks are black anyways so worse comes to worse I already have the base for my red haha I think they were red 40k once emp was put on the throne they went black and it wasn’t until recently they whippped out the red again....I thinn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/10/#findComment-5008861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Not too sure... you could always highlight the black with a different color, such as blue or grey to make it less of a "void", I guess. I think it works well with just the topknot red, it stands out nicely against the rest of the model. If the cloth was also red, you may lose that.

betrayer41 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 They are drybrushed grey haha I’ve never been good with cloaks or clothing haha. Pretty happy with the golds so far I want a old antique type gold not so much a brilliant or orange gold Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/10/#findComment-5008884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I noticed the grey after I wrote that, sorry, that was my fault. I would throw some color into that highlight however... like I said, a blue or something. It would give the models more color overall as well.

betrayer41 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 I am going to try one of them red and see how it goes. Always easy to go back to black. Any tips on painting power weapons?

Zeller Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The armor color is great. The red cloaks and tabards came back out when Guilliman created the new crusade. The usual 40K timeline ambiguity gives you all the cover you need.

betrayer41 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Thanks mate, i still have washes and highlights to do to add a bit of depth. Ive built about 40 Scions nd honestly i am just not feeling it haha. I think i am going to take DuskRaiders advice and do demons to go along side my WE. Custodes are my main focus but i just cant get behind my scions at the moment.

torcathmk2 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Gorgeous gold on the Custodes, gives the minis a really nice grim atmosphere. Could I ask about the bases, are they built by yourself or bought from somewhere?

betrayer41 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Wow thanks everyone. I am glad i decided to repaint these from my older scheme. @Torca: They are from dragon forge. Highly highly reccomend them. @Torvak: Black Primer Two coats of Valdor gold. Wash of agrax 1:2 medium Drybrush p3 platinum Wash recesses with flesh shade Edge highlight p3 platinum Anyone had any good reccomendations for power weapons. I was thinking about black power weapons with edge purple? But no idea how to do that. torcathmk2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/10/#findComment-5015332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corswain Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Gold looks excellent and I am definitely stealing that scheme. Looking froward to seeing Valdor. You changing anything about him? I know he’s a bit of a controversial model but I love him.

betrayer41 Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Thanks guys! Good to be back Already hacked off his left shoulder pad and added a new one, won’t be adding the demon head, changing Valdors actual head, and I don’t know if I’ll be adding all the feathers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/10/#findComment-5039593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I am not sure about the skull for Valoris. It sits quite high. I wonder if it would look better in his or another models hand, sculpt the cloak to hair or loose skin maybe? Or a skull mask for a SW or WE character ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/10/#findComment-5039803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 While I agree with Dantay regarding it being too high, I think it looks nice for Valoris. Maybe repositioning it to look downward, and/or slightly cut the pauldron or the skull to fit it a bit lower. Valdor is looking great!
