duz_ Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Well clearly its been a while since my last update... I'm also at a bit of a dilemma Our local group is doing a troop painting event which is a month long and since I'm still unpacking I figured a good time to paint my custard creams because it's "only three models" However I don't know if I should paint them like I have been or use contrast as the base for the ivory after having reasonable success with my terrain - see spoiler Added more gold because the Imperium has no restraint Second storey completed, waiting to decide how to do the floors though. Have some space wolf grey contrast paint showing up this week see how it goes This would alleviate several concerns 1. I wouldn't have to airbrush anything and contrast is relatively quick for painting 2 I also wouldn't have to wash the models after the base layers 3 It also avoids the issue of the sepia wash being inconsistent as it ages... The painter inside my says don't but the pragmatist says do it and I might expand beyond 3000pts of an assembled army with just 1 mini painted :ermm: Thoughts?

thewarriorhunter Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I'm not loving it, but I also think the reds and blues need to be blocked in to give a fair assessment. It looks like it will work but right now it reminds me of my marines that you've seen. I hate that scheme until I get the blue and black blocked in because they help to bring it all together.

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I’d do black capes and shoulder pads. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/page/5/#findComment-5520109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcoon Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Well the brains trust wasn't super helpful So went and found a model to try it out on Thoughts : My original model This is fantastic, what white are you using for the base? It looks similar to my corax-base sepia wash custodes at presents but way more crisp.

Arkaniss Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I think it looks good - a promising start for sure :tu: All the detail on the model is a good candidate for the contrast paints. Thewarriorhunter has a point though, it will be difficult to give an accurate assessment without further work! I do think you're onto a winner so I'm looking forward to seeing it painted up.

duz_ Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks I plan on carrying it through to see how difficult it is to paint all the way. My concern is if I have to do touch ups later. I'm hoping Ushanti bone will be a close touch up paint. The model is 1:1 skeleton horde and medium on grey seer Which I had actually planned to use wraithbone but didn't check the can before I primed... So I will also do a quick version with the wraithbone and see what the difference is Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/page/5/#findComment-5520539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 As mentioned I grabbed the wrong primer previously so got around to using the correct primer and painted again. Here are the two models side by side. Both are skeleton horde with medium. One is grey seer undercoat the other is wraithbone. Thoughts? Side note also purchased a Magna rack for these guys during the battlefoam sale. Now I have to magnetise their bases too :ermm: Arkaniss, Prot and MithrilForge 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/page/5/#findComment-5522304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I like the left model better. Side by side the right looks a little dingy since it's more yellow. duz_ and Shield-Captain 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/page/5/#findComment-5522346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield-Captain Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I gotta agree on the left one but I might try painting some gold on them first. It might change how they look overall. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/page/5/#findComment-5522481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Interesting I've been leaning to the right colour, but I've had several people go for the cooler one I shall have to get some gold and red on to see which I prefer...

Arkaniss Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I am leaning towards the left one too, but they definitely need some gold and red on them to get a better feel for how it will look I reckon.

duz_ Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Well after settling into my new place and make space on my hobby desk I finally picked up a brush last night after a lot of procrastination I forgot how much of a pain to paint these guys were! :sweat: Didn't make much progress in the hour or so I painted last night... Not enough to decide which shade to go with anyways Hopefully next time I pick up the brush I'm more motivated and make better progress The gold that is painted is only the first layer, the second is more yellow and less bronze Wrath of Bruinen, MithrilForge and Arkaniss 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/page/5/#findComment-5535255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 A little more progress last night Got the base layer of gold down on both and some of the 2nd layer on the right I think i know which one I am leaning towards at this point and slightly miffed the effort it's taken to decide.

rcoon Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 What base was used on the right hand one? Was that grey seer and skeleton horde wash? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/page/5/#findComment-5536552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Left: Grey Seer Right: Wraithbone Both have been painted identically after that Contrast: Skelton Horde Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/page/5/#findComment-5536574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Now that they're both done more I like how muted the right looks. If you want a high contrast look go with the right. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/page/5/#findComment-5536803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
