Mithrilforge Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 Great stuff ! The red and Blue lenses do look good, Sure the blue is the best of the two but as you said the red adds a lil bit of interest and helps the blue stand out more ! There's so much to paint on these crisis suits, for their size it seems a lot more work than you initially think there will be Glad to see you progressing through them !

Guiltysparc Posted June 27, 2024 Author Share Posted June 27, 2024 Upon further review, i'm not loving the red...i'm going to try hitting with a dash of blue so its purple, the red tone is a little too light and purple-ification might make it better. If i don't like that, i'm going to try Dr_Ruminahui's suggestion to do a bright green Firedrake Cordova, Mithrilforge and Dr_Ruminahui 2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382897-the-life-semi-aquatic-a-tau-project/page/4/#findComment-6047700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrilforge Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 @Guiltysparc - haha I know the feeling, you paint something and like it right then and there... but then you spend a day or two looking at it and then you change your mind Happy to see if the purple changes it up (sounds interesting!!) ... I hope it works out !!

Dr_Ruminahui Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 If you try the green, I used GW's warpstone glow highlighted in moot green - doesn't mean you need to, but that's how I did it.

Mithrilforge Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 Although I've found the "new" Tesseract Glow Technical over a base of bright yellow with white highlights then a wash of the technical works really well (and fast) ...

Did a couple red lights in with the blue, I... think I like it. I think the blue is the better color for sure, but having the red next to it adds a little interest...maybe... The blue lenses look good, fits with the colour palette, always gives a good guy vibe.

Guiltysparc Posted July 4, 2024 Author Share Posted July 4, 2024 The work continues, more or less finished with the bodies of the other two, just their wings left to do. In other news, I didn't write down how I did the base on the test model, which means I just have thought it was so straightforward that I didn't need to write it down, spoilers, I forgot how I did it lol. I tried a couple different approaches on the other bases and didn't quite get it, I took some notes though and I think I'll be able to figure it out eventually. It's pretty close but not exact, enough to annoy me just a little though. I really like the red now that I've done it on a couple of the models, I appreciate the feedback here that helped me go that direction.

Mithrilforge Posted July 4, 2024 Share Posted July 4, 2024 @Guiltysparc- as stated, amazing work I love all the colours used, looks great & the red was a great choice by the looks of it kinda sorry you forgot how you did your bases..(done stuff like that before myself), you think at the time “this is easy just these 3-4 colours, I won’t need to write it down at all …it’ll be fine” … Cheers, Mithril Guiltysparc and Firedrake Cordova 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382897-the-life-semi-aquatic-a-tau-project/page/4/#findComment-6048624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guiltysparc Posted August 15, 2024 Author Share Posted August 15, 2024 So, I became totally consumed by elden ring and woefully missed much painting time. However, I was able to finish up my crisis suits today! Next up will be one of the infantry units.

Mithrilforge Posted August 15, 2024 Share Posted August 15, 2024 Worth the Wait Brother The Suits look great, The colours all blend well together and the Weathering/Chipping is top notch !! I really like the Subtle blue of the Plasma (glad you didn't go to crazy town with the OSL) and the lenses contrast well with the suits, bases are great but not overdone... this is a really well done unit. Cannot wait to see you do a Fire warrior unit ... Cheers, Mithril p.s. stay away from Elden ring for a wee bit more so you can get that troop unit done Guiltysparc, Firedrake Cordova and Dr_Ruminahui 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382897-the-life-semi-aquatic-a-tau-project/page/4/#findComment-6056976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted August 16, 2024 Author Share Posted August 16, 2024 Ya man, I had totally missed the edlen ring boat, but steam had it in sale when the dlc came out, so I snagged it and feel in deep lol. My 8 year old daughter really like watching me play so when I hear "Daddy can we play elden ring", man, that's a hard one to resist!
