ZeroWolf Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Right, this is the apothecary at the moment: I'm at the point to move onto the next stage and part of that is to try and put more apothecary white into the recesses and parts where the armour overlaps, its still looking very plain.

Firedrake Cordova Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looks like he's coming along. White can be such a frustrating colour to paint ... ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 It's certainly frustrating. Some days I think I'd like to do a whoops all bikes white scars force, but this experience has put paid to that hats off to everyone who can do white armour!

ZeroWolf Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 So another week of little painting time, but finally got to it...only not to paint my figures My two sons are going to the local warhammer shop for a mini character battle royal a week on Saturday (no named characters, no more than 6 wounds) and while my oldest can paint well enough himself (a blood angels player) his brother (Dark Angels) not so much. See, he much prefers the building and playing the game parts of the hobby. So what to do with the painting? That's where I come in: These are still in the early phases, have to get my skates on to get the Terminator Captain ready in time.

ZeroWolf Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Deathwing update #2 i offered my son the choice of dead nid for his base, and he choose mine. Progress feels very slow and I think my idea of using majority contrast paints is a pain in the behind. Live and learn I guess!

They've got a few videos up where they used Contrast on power armour, including Deathwing. Edited March 22 by Firedrake Cordova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest update: All the base colours are on, its time for clean up before I move to the next step. No way it's finished before Saturday though but it'll be playable.

Dark Angels, for some reason my two sons each choose a ____ Angels army for 40k, not that it's a problem as the three of us have red, green and blue marines sorted As for the latest update: the captain was "done" at 2 a.m. Saturday morning, only a few hours before it was needed! It's not finished by any means but my son was happy with it. The tournament was interesting, 12 kids in all and my kids were regrettably knocked out early on (bad dice rolls!) Though the three finialsts were two custodes and a Tau battlesuit...showing that all characters weren't made equal (I think the Tau won) fun was still had though. I'll press on and finish the terminators and then I can get back to my Ultramarines Trysanna, Rusted Boltgun, Firedrake Cordova and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Sorry to hear your children got knocked out early on - hopefully they still had fun ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 They got a chocolate egg out of it I wish the store did more events like it really. When I was a kid, there was always something on. I think they'd love a doubles tournament. Rusted Boltgun and Firedrake Cordova 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I guess the chocolate probably helped compensate for any disappointment then! ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Deathwing Terminators are finished: and I've learned a lot from these, some good and some bad. Here's their teleport homer: I also went back to the Terminator Captain to play with his cloak: I really like painting cloaks Of course, getting these done has meant I could go back to my boys in blue: These four have had all their washes done, if it wasn't for the fact it was pushing 1:30 a.m. by the time I done these four, I may have gotten the rest done but that'll be tonight's job.
