Hello Brothers (and Sisters),

it's been a long time since my last visit. I've been busy working on some AoS related projects that I had to put my beloved Dark Angels on hold.

I was however able to assemble and paint the whole 30k marine squad in the evenings during the last month - oh boy they took forever to finish!

I wanted to create unique squad with each marine having it's own heraldry and that along with painting black armour took more time then I initially expected. I am happy how they turned out. Now i need to put them in a rhino and paint that Contemptor that is still laying somewhere around on my shelf...

As always no transfers all freehand. Enlarge pictures for better view

Wonderful stuff, your 30k colour palette works great!  I've never been a fan of DA green, but the 30k stuff makes checking this thread out totally worth while.  Mind if I ask what colour you used for your mkiii shoulder trims please?

Thank you so much Brothers !

as for shoulder trims they were painted using: leadbelcher as basecoat, washed with nuln oil in next step. All was then highlighted with ironbrekaer and stormhost silver. After that i washed reccesses with agrax earthshade and finally highlighted edges with ulthuan grey.

I did some close-ups on my Lion some time ago but haven't posted them before. Below is one of them.

Contemptor Dread will join his force soon as well as special Legion Praetor ;)

Ty guys,

 

My Lion's skin recipe is as follows:

 

1. Cadian Flesh basecoat (two/hree times to achieve smooth colour)

2. Dilluted Doombull Brown wash all over 

3. Dilluted Rhinox Hide mixed with some Chaos Black wash into reccesses

4. Cadian Flesh + Administratum Grey + Ushabti (ratio 3:1:1) - glaze consitency - several coats

5. Cadian Flesh + Ushabti (1:1) - glaze several times

6. Ushabti - glaze several times

7. Kantor Blue + Ushabti - wash into reccesses

8. Khorne Red + Ushabti - wash into shaded areas 

9. White Scar applied on edges

 

:) 

Sure Orkinstein np :)

 

For painting black i use Andrea black paint set which consists of 6 different shades of grey that I additionally mix to achieve smooth transitions between layers (I will use names of andrea paints below):

 

1. Start with Abaddon Black basecoat

2. First layer of Base + 1st shadow

2. 1st and 2nd shadow mix

3. 2nd and 3rd shadow mix into reccesses

4. Base + 1st highlight

5. 1st and 2nd highlight mix

6. Shade all with nuln oil

7. 1st highlight 

8. 2nd highlight

9. 2nd highlight + ushabti bone final highlight on the edges

 

you can additionally provide some glazes with steel legion drab and xereeus purple to add some definition to the colour

 

Hope it helps,

 

bev
