Spyboy Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hey guys, I have been on and off this forum for a while but I am just starting my guard army. At least just starting the painting of it. I have a test model in the works and some pics of it, but not sure how to upload them here. I post on a phone, so any help on how to upload pics that way would be appreciated. Also how to edit the topic title when I figure out what regiment I will be would be appreciated.

WarriorFish Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Looks like a good start, are you going for a winter or urban scheme? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355328-designation-pending-spyboys-wip/#findComment-5298271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyboy Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Winter, basically the regiment has been trained specifically for high altitude fighting. Of coarse that will not stop commanders from throwing them into whatever combat situation arises.

WarriorFish Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Cool, what basing scheme will you use? A snowy tundra would look nice I reckon.

Spyboy Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 That is exactly what I plan on at the moment. I have never used snow before so should be interesting.

WarriorFish Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Sounds good to me, keen to see the first finished miniature :tu: The new (relatively) GW snow texture is good from all accounts, certainly looks good when I've seen it on models. I'm sure GW aren't the only people who've got a decent snow though so you can probably get the same result in many ways :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355328-designation-pending-spyboys-wip/#findComment-5298378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleCrumble Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 On the subject of bases, heres a good example/tutorial for creating snowy bases with the GW texture paints: The guard scheme is even pretty close to yours to boot!

Shamansky Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 To get 'icy snow' effect on bases you can use baking soda with 'super glue' (Ethyl Cyanoacrylate) or any other 'clear' glue that doesn't get yellowish with the time.

Spyboy Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thank you to both AppleCrumble and Shamansky for those useful tips, I will certinally be keeping them in mind.

Ranulf Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Spyboy, I'd suggest going with a premade snow texture - GW's Valhallan Blizzard is nice but it's very expensive. Vallejo does a Ground Texture Snow in a 200ml pot for approximately twice the cost of GW's 24ml one. I used both brands on the five bases below and I can't tell the difference: -Ran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355328-designation-pending-spyboys-wip/#findComment-5301770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_b Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Great models Ran. I always loved those Valhallan minis.Thanks for the info about the snow basing material. Edit: I posted from phone, fixed the auto corrects.
