Gryphin Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 let's see... update... Assembly lining a squad of 5. Have the shoulderpads, left arms, and heads all done. bodies are drying from thier primer now, just started on basecoating the right arms for them all. Kinda slacked off on my two days off Thurs and Fri, and took some much needed major downtime. Could have gotten a whole lot more done, but only got the shoulderpads done those days. Just finished up the heads, takes me about 1 1/2 hours to do 5 heads from primer to finish. My favorite detail brush is starting to go bendy on me, it's sad. She's been with me from the start, a Lowel-Cornell Taklon 5/0 spotter. damn fine brush, even if it is considered one of the cheap ones. Always held a point I could cut myself on. I'd toss up pics, but they'd be boring, just a random assortment of bits laying on my desk right now. Still haven't decided on two things. One, what I'm going to use for the chapter emblem, and two, what color the storm bolter casing are going to be. I could go with the black from the original chapter scheme, but I'm thinking that it's far too much black, and needs some accent colors. The Bolters are on the red side of the body, so I can't really go a nice dark green like I would like to, for fear of looking like a bunch of Santa's Goth Elves. Maybe I'll toy with a deep purple like the purity seals. Keep the warm side of the model going, and not too high of a contrast with the red while still adding a third color. The paint scheme for the eyes, that's a base of Dark Angels Green, covering about 2/3rds of that with VMC Flat Green (or GW Scorp Green, same color, but I like the flow of the VMC paint better) and then covering the last 1/3 of the eye with GW Goblin Green, and then a slight hit of VMC Golden Yellow to the very front tip of the eye. VMC's Golden Yellow is more like a mix between GW Sunburst Yellow, and GW Bleached Bone. Just adds that pop that makes the eyes stand out at arms length.

Kaldoth Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 IMO, you should do the bolters half and half aswell. Colour the outermost case in the half and half scheme, and the rest of it boltgun metal. Ive seen it done before, and it looks great ;) -Kaldoth Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87993-the-race-for-medusa-an-army-in-a-month/page/2/#findComment-1028390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
