That's great, so we have something to inspire us in the upcoming years. 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Your fans await. Brilliant as usual Master Bevulf.

Pics are looking professional too, well done.

Stevulf.

[zacret]

well done! That is one crisp Deathwing knight! The the rest of the army is truely breathtaking!

[Brother_Darius]

Amazing stuff, it is inspiring me to push threw my own stuff. thanks for sharing

[JimVandy85]

Can we get the recipe for your bone white armor? It looks awesome!

[TheForgottenAngel]

Teach me your ways oh wise one! These are absolutely phenomenal!

Having spent quite some time staring in disbelief at the banner I have decided it is clearly witchcraft.

 

On a serious note you should send some of these into White Dwarf. I know the intercessors have third party bits but I can’t see any on the ancient or terminator.

Phenomenal work, as per usual, bevulf. :tu:

 

Any chance you'd be willing to share the colours used for the bone armour of your Deathwing Knight, please? :)

[bevulf]

Witchcraft made my day - lol thank you JJD   

 

I only used 3rd party parts for tactical markings on intercessors just as you mentioned. Rest are purely gw parts.

I will consider that - my Blood Angels were published in 2017 in reader's models section (both in march and april)...  

 

Recipe for Deathwing armour follows the same steps as for Intercessors:

 

UNDERCOAT:

two thin coats of dawnstone

BASE:

I use a mix of baneblade / ushabti as a base colour in ratio (2:1). I apply it in two coats to strenghten the colour.

SHADOWS:

1st shadow - pure baneblade

2nd shadow - baneblade mixed with chaos black (just a drop)

HIGHLIGHTS

1st highlight - mix of base colour with more ushabti

2nd highlight - even more ushabti and white added

3rd highlight - more white added to the previous mix

 

GLAZING

1st glaze - baneblade + ushabti+ lahmian (or other glaze medium) into reccesses

2nd glaze - baneblade + lahmian

3rd glaze - ushabti + lahmian - into more raised areas

4th glaze - ushabti + white + lahmian

 

FINAL HIGHLIGHTS

Pure white applied on the very edges of the armour 

 

SCRATCHES

1st step: paint very thin lines of pure abaddon black in different elements of the armour

2nd step: underline the scratches with a pure white

 

Thank you again for all your support guys !!!

I should have known your work would have been in White Dwarf already. Where can I find more of your work.

[MaxB]

Wow amazing stuff man! You have a very unique style.

 

And great step by step for the bone armour - that's a great effort for so many models! I often shade bone robes with Dawnstone - It creates some nice shadow tones.

[JimVandy85]

Bevulf,

 

Do you have a scheme worked out for the Ravenwing? If so, what is it? I'm guessing a variation on the previous schemes, but with what colors? A warmer or cooler black?

 

Thanks and Best Wishes

@JJD - I had a various opened or closed threads here in BaC. I think one still able to view beside my beloved Dark Angels is about the scions of Sanguinius: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326865-scions-of-sanguinius-bevulfs-take-on-blood-angels/

 

I also painted a small Space Wolves army with Ragnar's conversion based on Wolf Lord Krom but can't find this here - probably got archived. You can also check my pictures on CoolMiniOrNot site: http://www.coolminiornot.com/browse/browseid/6924353

 

@MaxB - Yes dawnstone is great for shading - I also use it on faces.

 

@DarkApostle85 - for Ravenwing or generally when painting black I follow similar steps but the colours I use are from Andrea Black Paint Set. Basically the whole paint set contains six different shades of grey: base colour, 1st shade, 2nd shade, 3rd shade, 1st highlight and 2nd highlight. 

 

BASE:

I use a mix of base and 2nd shade in ratio (1:1). I apply it in two coats to strenghten the colour.

SHADOWS:

1st shadow - base + 2nd shade + 3rd shade (1:1:1)

2nd shadow - 2nd shade + 3rd shade

HIGHLIGHTS (GLAZED)

1st highlight - base + 1st highlight

2nd highlight - 1st highlight + 2nd highlight

3rd highlight - 1st highlight + 2nd highlight + fenrisian grey (2:2:1)

 

For final highlight I use white scar carefully apllied on the very edges 

 

SCRATCHES

1st step: paint very thin lines of pure abaddon black in different elements of the armour

2nd step: underline the scratches with a pure white scar

 

Hope this helps - thank you again for your continous support Brothers !!!

[JimVandy85]

Thanks for the steps! I'll have to try this out. Keep up the great work!

[bevulf]

Greetings Brothers !!!!

Well, it took me almost half year to get back to painting but I am thrilled to continue my primaris :)

But before that I want to try sth a little bit different...

I don't know if anyone has ever done this before me but here is my latest project:

Stay vigilant !

[Dark Rage]

I think I saw someone recolour the blood angel one on instagram, I was considering getting the same one as its a beakie and painting it up as a Consecrator.

[Interrogator Stobz]

What's wrong with the original paint job?

Do you think that you can do better? ;) :P

I spy one of those new Dreads in the corner, I like the black weapon casing.

[Lostrael]

It looks as if you want to dismember it. I almost feel pity.

[Interrogator Stobz]

I was thinking that too, all the mad doctor tools are out... Edited May 26, 2019 by Interrogator Stobz

[bevulf]

I considered dismembering him but decided not too. Material from which it is made is too soft and I would probably damaged it too much. I think I will be able to get everywhere with brushes. Need only to cover the gaps on the hood with green stuff remove some mold lines and start painting. I will also mount him on a base which will be made from plastic flower pot base tray. 

 

As for dread lurking in the picture it is indeed finished Redemptor. I will take proper pictures soon.
