Majkhel Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Would that be a whole Death Company Battle Barge??

NiftyVT Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Would that be a whole Death Company Battle Barge?? This is definitely taking transporting DC to a whole another level :D Mostly play Heresy Gothic fan supplement so no death company here. =) In the fan supplement the BA like to get in close and use their guns (they always get a good shift on the gun table so can throw some serious dice!). So I wanted the ships to look like void stalkers running dark to avoid detection so they can get in close.

SnorriSnorrison Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 The shading looks very good, very natural despite being almost black. Is that oil-based paint?

NiftyVT Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 The shading looks very good, very natural despite being almost black. Is that oil-based paint? Very smooth! Also, good use on those decals! I use an enamel called Dark Brown from AK interactive to do all of the shading. Their armor is also airbrushed up from a dark brown to the red. I zenathal up from the base color to the red so they are naturally darker in the recesses even before the enamel.

NiftyVT Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 I really like your gold. Â What paint do you use ? Gold is Vallejo Metal Color Airbrush Colors Copper. I then wash it with either a brown or black acrylic wash depending on how dark I want it to be. Then the Dark Brown enamel over it, that's it. The helmets got a little highlight with Vallejo Metal Color Airbrush Colors Gold and were just washed with the Dark Brown enamel.

NiftyVT Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 I had a little random inspiration for how to attach Mehpiston to his base when I was rummaging around my hobby area. I happened on some really old Warhammer metal movement trays that I made way back in the day. I decided to cut a bit of one of the trays off and glue it into the bottom of Mephistons terrain base bit. Then I just added a magnet to his awesome display base (from Dragon Forge Design) and to his standard gaming base. Thats it! Easy and works great. Much better than trying to line up opposing magnets.  20200422_140329 by nifty, on Flickr ranulf the revenant 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360442-niftyvts-blood-angels/page/2/#findComment-5510815 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyVT Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 I had tons of fun painting up Mephiston. I could easily spend a couple more hours on him but I am picking up Iluminator Szeras tomorrow and my goal is to finish him before the Indomitus box comes in.  So, this is a good exercise in 'when to call it done and put the brush down.' He is magnetized so I can stick him on a regular gaming base as needed.  20200703_171507 by nifty, on Flickr brother_b, Dracos, Bjorn Firewalker and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360442-niftyvts-blood-angels/page/2/#findComment-5554211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Excellent work. Where'd you get the giant skull on his base? And is the skull meant to be a sculpture, or a fossil, i.e., the planet he's fighting on once had monsters whose skulls resemble a human's scaled-up?

Rhavien Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Really nice work! How did you paint the hair? I dig your color choice, as I find a blond Mephiston looks somehow strange.
