Captain Semper's Adeptus Titanicus project

[DuskRaider]

If it were me... and obviously it's not so take it for what it is... I'd think about doing the purple in a chameleon color or something to make it markedly different from the red (which I'd stipple or attempt a marble effect). Something like one of these:

For the trim I'd go a pale gold or platinum type color, keep it looking metal.

The purple and red doesn’t work for me personally, if only because they are too similar colour wise and I prefer a bigger contrast. Love the marbled effect - it’s so well done, or either a fluorescent or colour shift may work well too :)

They say on their site that stuff is okay to brush on but I've heard that's not the case.

[DuskRaider]

I've seen people brush it on, it has to be a dark base coat or primer (read: BLACK ONLY) in order for it to work properly.

I am colorblind so I might not be the right person to speak but I like the red-purple. There is plenty of contrast for my eyes. XD

[Grandmaster damion]

Hmmm 

 

A hard colour combination to pull off as red is purples 'mother' colour and so can dominate it very easily however it can be done with some thought. 

 

My take is thus.

 

Make the red darker, browner and a natural shade  personally I'd go for mahogany and leave it Matt 

 

Push the purple brighter and add an effect again personally I would go Violet and either metallic or pearlesant and a huge gloss finish. 

 

Keep the trim colours bone to help delineate where they meet.

 

Hope this helps 

[Captain Semper]

Yeap, sounds sound advice! Still considering the options though...

[Mandragola]

To be honest purple is really not a favourite colour of mine. I don't actually own any purple paint!

 

That said, I think the reaver looks decent. The bone-coloured edges help because they give you a really strong contrast, so there's never a border with red against purple.

[Captain Semper]

OK, here we go! :)

[Chaeron]

Looking forward to these Captain!

[Master Ciaphas]

We have a saying in my country: "Godt begyndt er halvt fuldendt" (something like: a good beginning is half way done!")

 

And you certainly have a good beginning! Looking forward to seeing them done!

 

Faithfully,

Master Ciaphas

[Captain Semper]

Yeah.. Not going anywhere with the yellow - I cannot be bothered anymore.

Change of plans: Malinax!

Here's the staring pic for the Cerastus - as the Questoris are soaking in Dettol...

[Captain Semper]

Metalwork done...

[DuskRaider]

Aren't they great models?

[Rabenga]

Awesome!

[Captain Semper]

The models are fantastic, both the Questoris and the Cerastus! Really enjoy doing them!

 

I’m now finishing the first and I bet by end of day tomorrow I will have completed both! :tu:

[Rabenga]

I still have a couple unbuilt ones...I'm trying to stay focused on the warhounds and reaver, but the little ones are calling me...

[Chaeron]

Change of plans: Malinax! 

 

An excellent choice - looking forward to seeing how you do them, be interested in your take on them most certainly!

[Captain Semper]

First of all, the good news:

That means that Black Arrow's Volcano Cannon has arrived. As did all the new decal sheets... Also, Titandeath is here - very, VERY happy!

And the even better news: The Cerastus are done!

[Kordhal]

These knights are gorgeous! How are they posing wise? (Is it easy to pose them in dynamic configurations?)

[Captain Semper]

Thx! :)

 

Regarding posing, the legs are a single piece each so the striding position is pretty much fixed for each one. I suppose you can mix the legs between different models if you do more than two but that’s about it. The hands have more poseability as you can change the angles of the shoulders and the elbows... so the lance can point a bit more to the sky or to the ground and pointing more outwards or inwards... There is poseability on the waist too, so I guess every one might look very different. Especially given the three different kinds of heads. :)

[Captain Semper]

I took some more pics

[Marshal Loss]

Damn, that looks flash. Very nicely done.

[Reyner]

I love those Knights, screw it I'll buy some at the weekend!
