bloodhound23 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Is that red glazed or wet blended? It’s a very nice gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Neither really. It's just khorne red with a couple thin coats with highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Wow, I haven't seen these guys on the Internet for ages. Do you also have the power-fist wielding sergeant? When I was younger, I really loved that sculpt. Hell, I think it still holds up as one of the greatest SM sculpts.

Terminatorinhell Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Trying for an active camo effect on these cloaks. Not quite ready though. Firedrake Cordova, Boc, ZeroWolf and 2 others 3 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boc Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Braver than me for doing the active camo. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out! Firedrake Cordova and ZeroWolf 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Yeah, I've not got the skills to even try and do that good luck with it! Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firedrake Cordova Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The "active camo" is a nice effect, but you may find if you do the camo too well, the model disappears into the base - if you add a quick edge highlight to the bottom of the cloak, it may help stop that from happening ZeroWolf and Boc 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Lol I mean I ain't mad about him disappearing into the base. It sells the effect Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 I'm still trying to glaze more of a gradient but I'm worried about messing it up lol. Thoughts on this? Grotsmasha, Rusted Boltgun and ZeroWolf 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I think the effect works well. I think adding another step to the gradient by mixing the blue and black and applying it at the top to blend the blue down wouldn't hurt, but I also don't think it's needed.

Brother Christopher Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I think it looks pretty cool - good execution. If I were to critique anything, it'd be the white line - I imagine it would look cooler if it were thinner or perhaps a bit more ragged? You could thin the wite line by glazing some of the blue on top - that way, you'd have more gradient between the light blue and the white that also should result in a better 'power field' or 'electricity' effect. The blue and blueish gray are perfect, though. ZeroWolf, Terminatorinhell and Firedrake Cordova 1 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Because I'm distractable I started painting a black reach captain I oyumarued an arm for. Some reason I thought Crimson Fists worked. ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I used that that model back in the day looks like the replacement arm worked great! Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Lol the nmm is kind of crap but I actually changed his sword shape too. Like one of the big combat blades with the scooped out tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 (edited) I keep looking at the sword and want to redo it. Might have to strip or sand down the paint. Either I try nmm again, go for a powerword effect or just make it a black metal sword. Edit And so I went with a blue effect Edited February 29 by Terminatorinhell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 Working on the chapter master Used oyumaru to make the front of the tabard part from a 3D printed part. The cape was oyumarued from a sword brethren but not sure I like it. Firedrake Cordova and Rusted Boltgun 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 The cape needs some post-processing but overall I can see it work. You need to smoothen out the rougher bits (edges, as well as the green stuff bits) and modify the top part: 1. I'd recommend you file down the parts I marked in orange circles (that seem to come off from a Sword Brother's shoulder pads?) - the flow of the fabric is definitely unnatural here; 2. the way it connects to the body of the Marine (e.g. by extending it, like I marked with the green line). Spoiler I'm ceaselessly impressed by your conversions. You're very brave and 'aggressive' with your projects, i.e., your modifications are very extensive. Also the fact that you're mixing old (sculpting) and modern (3d printing) approaches to the hobby is very motivational. With my to-be primaris project, I have certain doubts: should I 'waste time' on cutting, repositioning and modifying by using plasticard, scrap and putty - all of these things are after all time consuming and imperfect - when 3D printing is available. Especially since I know how much time it takes me to do something. It feels like a mistake, I think to myself, the world goes forward and so should I. Yet, there are people like you who don't hesitate to totally reshape what GW sells them and who continue to use traditional hobby tools. Thanks to people like you and projects like this, I feel more comfortable in my plans and decisions. Thanks for continuously sharing!
