[Hungry Nostraman Lizard]

Lovely weathering! Subbed to your posts.

Sergeant almost ready. Waiting for only tactical arrow decal on shin, weathering powders and base. And maybe crest on top of the helmet...

c&c welcome

Extremely well done

Top notch, the white plate on the helm and fist contrast really nicely with the black armour.

Saw your sergeant posted somewhere on FB the other day and immediately saved it to my phone for future reference. A hundred million internet points to you, because your scheme is great, and there's so much gold in this thread that I must have just missed up until this point! Also, I'm so pleased you posted your black recipe here, because I'm totally going to thieve it. 

 

Speaking of outright theft, the white on your Vindicators is fantastic, and I'm at a loss about how to replicate something like that for my Ultramarines. Any chance you could share your method?

[Stix]

Thanx a lot guys!

 I have changed my recipe for black, now is little bit easier:

1.Black basecoat
2. Airbrush some highlights with Tamya Nato Black
3. Use pencil (soft one, like 6B) or silver pigment to do some edge highlighting and then use finger (or Eye shadow applicators) to smear it over some parts You want to be weathered.
4. Dark brown oil wash
5. pencil again
6. Ultra mat coat airbrushed on the parts that you would like to be mat black

 

When it comes to white I airbrushed army painters white with a little bit of olive green paint over chipping medium. I am not sure what happened exacly but the layer was quite thick, when it dried it gave me that cracked effect. I washed it lightly with wet brush to chip it a little bit. Then i added more chipping with sponge (black and then little bit of typhus corrosion) and then streaking effects. I hope it helps!

Lovely work, absolutely great! Personally I’d forgo the crest on the helm unless you feel he needs another spot colour?

[Stix]

Thanx! That is very kind. I wanted the crest just to slightly reinforce ancient Roman look.

Saw these guys on IG this weekend. Another exceptional addition!

[Stix]

I would call it a day but I am not quite sold on those bases (got them from ebay). They are nice sculpts but trim looks a little bit messy. Thus I have not apply pigments and weathering to the legs yet. ;) I am thinking about changing to some simpler bases (light brown cracked earth, some stones).

[Brother Pheidias]

Those helmets work much better than I expected from the unpainted pics on their site. And you do some very pretty Iron Hands.

[Cadmus Tyro]

Awesome work brother, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that white immortal shield somewhere else.....

Yes, indeed! Your army had a huge influence on my scheme and was one of the biggest inspirations for me to start painting :) be sure that if I ever get sicaran it is gonna have white turret ;)

[sockwithaticket]

Nice work so far, the dirty white is great,

[Stix]

Thanks!

 

I am not the fastest painter by any means, but slowly I am getting somewhere: next two added. One could say "First unit done";)

C&C welcome

[Marshal Rohr]

Great work!

[okonomiyakimarine]

fantastic stuff! i love the helmets and consider ordering them. where are these bases coming from though?

[Stix]

Thanks! These are from dands-gaming at ebay.

Test model for my Gorgon. Pretty happy with how he turned out.

[Mackenzie]

That is beautiful! Great job!

[Pearson73]

It's good to see this guy painted, you've done a sterling job, as per. I'm really tempted to do my Iron Hands Terminators in this style now, not sure if they'll be running as Gorgons or a retinue, but it's such a brutal look that fits the legion's aesthetic so well.

Thank you! Yeah it is such a simple kitbash but it works great. Stock gorgon's legs make them look very weird IMO.

By the Khans magnificent mustache, that Gorgon Terminator is wonderful!
