Fallen Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hah! I love the drain, great touch :lol: Painting looks really tight - if I had to criticise anything, I'd say the nurgling with the horn on the base doesn't really seem to "fit". The horn looks like it's popping out of rock, but he's on this sheet of metal. ...But that's minor. Great piece.

Comandante Alexos Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yes, you're right! But a Space Hulk style base was a too strong temptation! Thanks for the advice. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86653-my-death-guard-commander/#findComment-1003290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comandante Alexos Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Some little adjustment at the skeleton in the base. http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/3490/immagine0175kx.th.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86653-my-death-guard-commander/#findComment-1003307 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aarhus Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Very nice work! My only quibble is that the metal on the two mouth pieces beside the vertical slit is the cleanest one of the metals, when IMO it should be the dirtiest. That's all, fantastic looking Commander!

Comandante Alexos Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yes, certainly. Well, I've started giving as basecoat a full passage of Dark Angel Green. After that I took my airbrush and gave it a second passagge of Catachan Green, carefully trying to not cover the deeper points of the miniature. At this point starts the wet blending passagge. Blend the colour from the Catachan to the Commando Khaki passing through diffent levels of Bestial Brown and Snakebite Leather. The highlight in pure Bleached Bone On the armour I gave several layers of Schorced Brown and Dark Flesh to give different level of shadow and at the same time obtain a good rust effect. The metals: simple Boltgun metal with layers of the above mentioned two colours, Schorcha and Dark Flesh. After that, add another layer of Blood Red and highlight the stains formed so with Fiery Orange and be proud of the result, a simple but realistic rust effect. I use even a light passagge of oil color to give more precision to the shadows but I think this passagge is not strictly necessary. At the end of the work give a final highlight of Mithril Silver. I hope this can help you <_< I've used a mix of Game (Vallejo) Colours and the traditional GW ones.

Chronophague Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Last work, or latest work? You gonna quit painting or smth? The herald looks nice I think, you've managed to get a very nice colouration on the surfaces, in a nurglesque kinda way.
