Lion El Josh Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Reikland Gloss is seriously the magic sauce for these guys. Absolutely. I've never been this glad to have the stuff until Custodes. I use p3 Rhulic gold for my base colour. In my opinion, Rhulic Gold is one of the more beautiful gold colors I've worked with - especially over brown. It's right up there with Vallejo Glorious Gold for me. It’s great, really nice through the airbrush and I use it over hull red (similar to rhinos hide).

Stoic Raptor Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 My Contemptor is basically done - just needs some decals and the base. I ordered a box of Shattered Dominion bases after seeing someone on a Facebook group that painted them up like marble. Hopefully I can get them looking good, but sadly they don't have the right size for the jetbikes. I think the muzzle burn turned out fairly well. For the power fist I used the Thunder Hammer effect from a recent Warhammer TV video, but the gloss varnish kind of throws it off so I might dull it down a bit.

Stoic Raptor Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 So I got some Shattered Dominion bases and I decided I'm going to paint them up to look like the streets and ruins of Tizca. Anyone here tried that before?

Anyone here tried that before? Haven't tried the shattered dominion ones yet but have painted up several others to look like Tizca ruins.

Stoic Raptor Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'd be VERY interested in seeing what you've done, Tichinde. Here's how it came out - this is only my first attempt, I'm sure it will improve, but I'm eager for any feedback I can get.

Prot Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I think it turned out really nice. The biggest reason I think it may not feel like energy to you is the colour perhaps? Maybe an eerie green glow or even a purple. Just like if you did the same process in red/orange, people would assume lava.

Stoic Raptor Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I was going with the blue mostly because of the Thousand Sons motif for the bases - I wanted to reference the blue and the gold and the sort of glow you sometimes see on Librarian effects. I think I'm heading in the right direction but I just need more practice and education on the techniques. But I sure do appreciate the encouragement!

Tichinde Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Looks pretty good to me Knight of Lupus, I like the idea of the energy. for what I did you can check out my wip thread: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331505-tichs-prospero-project-more-objectives-01-mar-18/ or I did a tutorial featuring some of the bases: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336154-heresy-thousand-sons-metallic-no-air-brush-required/?p=4838293 but to keep this on track, here is my current Custodes work (will get better pics later): Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343130-show-us-your-custodes-all-colours-welcome/page/6/#findComment-5025805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Very nice. God skin tones. I find too light a skin tone blends in with the bright golds. Looks great. How did you do the left hand on the upper guy? It’s nice to see a gesture here and there from the captains... they seem so stoic. Lol.

Tichinde Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 That is just the open hand from the regular custodes sprue turned around, a small change that made the pose completely different!

Rinion Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It’s great, really nice through the airbrush and I use it over hull red (similar to rhinos hide). My Rhulic Gold looks very glitter-y through an airbrush, not sure whats up with it!

They look very sturdy and the magnets seem to fit perfectly. Thanks Thanks. The flying stands are half inch acrylic rod I got from a local plastic store. $3.60 for 10 of them. I drilled a 1/4 hole in the top for the magnets. Lacking a drill press I didn't have a great way to insure the hole was centered, so I got the half inch, but I think if I did it again I'd use 3/8 rod.
