Wassa Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 My almost finished Hellhound. Just need to decide whether I'm going to colour in and write on that scroll or not. http://i.imgur.com/uzIbdwxh.jpg Manticore base coated: http://i.imgur.com/vP9GOI4h.jpg Sentinel and Leman Russ Executioner camo base coated: http://i.imgur.com/MYyAKv9h.jpg The sentinel didn't come out as sharp as the others because it's so small and knobbly that the stencils didn't stick to it very well, I may try cleaning it up or might just leave it as it is. Couldn't decide whether to paint the barrel of the Executioner Plasma Gun in camo or not so I just went for it. May try adding some burn to it and seeing how it looks. Otherwise I'll give up and get out the leadbelcher!

MrZakalwe Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Looks damned good. Every single time I see that camo on the russ I'm impressed, it's too damned good and making the rest of us look bad!

WarriorFish Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Excellent work :tu: I think a little bit of colour on the scroll will work well :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347882-wassas-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-5190166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 That looks promising. Your work on the vehicles' camouflage patterns is commendable.

Wassa Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 That looks promising. Your work on the vehicles' camouflage patterns is commendable. It’s literally just spraying it 4 times adding layers of stencils/tape between each one and then shading the recesses and finally dry brushing it all. A bit time consuming but I think it’s worth it to make the guard vehicles a bit more exciting to look at.

WarriorFish Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Don't undersell it - that's four runs of applying stencils and working, that you've been clever about it to reduce the work required is also good - something looking nice doesn't have to mean hours upon hours of skilled work after all :P Just more excuse to paint lots more tanks... right? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347882-wassas-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-5190634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassa Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Yeah my first Punisher I tried 5 or 6 layers which was way too much and it actually turned out too dark. These are nice and bright, and actually less work to do. Can anyone give me any advice on painting plasma? In particular the Executioner Plasma Cannon? I'm going for a purple plasma theme. based it with Naggaroth Night, and layered on Xereus Purple on the ridges. Then drybrushed Screamer Pink onto it, then drybrushed a mix of Screamer Pink and White Scar to get it bright. I tried it on a space Executioner Cannon and i think it looks good from a distance, but up close you can see it looks like the recesses are full of drybrushed paint, maybe I used too much? http://i.imgur.com/DUOACGWh.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347882-wassas-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-5190651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 It depends on how you want the plasma coils to look. I blend mine dark to light blue and that works quite nicely. If you've done some dry brushing then a wash could help level it out a bit so it's not quite so obvious? A purple wash could do that here?

duz_ Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I usually do a mid - heavy white drybrush then hit with a wash and do a ligjt feathering afterwards Helps tone it down a bit Also make sure your brush doesnt have too much paint on it when dry brushing otherwise that could be causing the large caked bits Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347882-wassas-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-5190752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassa Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Do you do a wash just in the recesses or all over? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347882-wassas-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-5190781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 All over :) Hard to tell here but this is it on some Hellblasters: I don't have a picture of finished example on my Plasmacutioner, I'll see if I can get a photo of it tonight.

Wassa Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Slightly off topic, but gave up finding a paint rack that would fit in my IKEA Besta shelf unit and so ended up building one myself! Just waiting for it to dry to sand and prime it.

Wassa Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Slottted the paint rack into the IKEA shelf and it fits perfectly . Eventually I'll get round to painting it so it blends in more. http://i.imgur.com/sA8Rpidh.jpg But now with a tidy workstation (Manticore for scale) I can finally get back to working on my guardsmen painting backlog Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347882-wassas-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-5232311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Oh that's a good idea... I need something like that to free up space on my desk :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347882-wassas-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-5232330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 There I was feeling pleased with my tidying up of hobby space... :P Sometimes non-hobby work is good for hobby - you're well set for a great painting crusade now ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347882-wassas-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-5232363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassa Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Yeah I got fed up with my desk being covered in paint pots, kitchen roll, brushes, bits boxes, etc. Bought a huge mat and was only able to use a tiny it of it with all the stuff on it. The last straw was when I decided to make my own scenery using plaster bandages and wall filler and it was covered in plaster dust so decided to clean it. Doubt it will last long before it descends into chaos though!

duz_ Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 How did the terrain building go with wall filler + plaster tape?I tried wood putty on my last base and it keeps flaking off :ermm: Is the plaster sturdier once its dry and can you still achieve a gritty type texture?

Wassa Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Yeah it's pretty good. I followed this guys tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvA72UqzStA. Essentially: Scrunch up newspaper into balls. Tape balls together to give rough a outline. Put plaster bandage in water then lay it over your newspaper shapes. Let it dry overnight. Use plaster repair/wall filler to put a small thin layer over the top filling in any holes. Tap it to get a stippling effect. Let it dry overnight. Paint / Shade / Drybrush as usual & decorate. Group picture, trying 2 different colours: Close up of rocky effect and a paint colour test, it seems to have soaked in more than I thought so I'll have to do another coat or two. DIY sample paint pots are great for this and cheaper and bigger than the Games Workshop tiny pots! Another unpainted one: I haven't used the filler on this one so it's still a bit rough with the gaps and overlapping bandages (Manticore for scale) I've only done the filling and I'm trying to determine what colour rock I want. I want to get a mat though to know which colour fits best. I made these because I got bored up of the standard Industrial scenery people use and wanted some natural scenery. Another reason was because I got fed up of the size of everyones scenery that' s clearly designed for a squad of 5 Space Marines. Just enough to fit them wholly within cover or high up on multistorey ruins, and anything larger would overflow and lose cover save and line of sight. Conveniently it wasn't big enough to hide vehicles or artillery behind so I'm making some big ones as well so solve that issue!

Wassa Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thought I'd stop being lazy, and just spent the last 2 hours doing the recess shading of my Leman Russ Executioner: http://i.imgur.com/TVzYJpZh.jpg I'll let it dry and pick up the drybrushing next time then it's onto the detail! If anyone has any ideas about what to do about the exhausts/grates at the bottom let me know!
