zbo Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well I'm reading Soul Drinkers, and it's about time for me to start a new army. So I've put 1 and 1 together and decided to do a Soul Drinkers army. However I've never painted purple and stumped on how to. Does any one know if thiers a good how to articel? Also I'm planning to use 13th company rules to reperesnt them, without using bikers or wolves. That way all the marines are rock hard, and the squad leaders are as hard as they are in the book. I mean how wouldn't want a pack leader with up to 8 power weapon/fist attacks when he gets charged!. I mean someone's gunna die in the cities of death..... *insert evil laugh* Would this be a good idea? Cheers to all ~zbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Searchy the Servo Sperm is your friend :) Previous SD Thread You should get alot out of that thread (and the paint scheme is very impressive). As for the use of the 13th Co rules, Im iffy on that one. I can understand that the SD are tough, but im not sure if the 13th Co rules would be applicable for them, especially in a balanced way. After all, they are still descendents from Rogal Dorn and the IF, so i cant imagine they would go from explicit codex followers to extremely divergent.

LupoLoopy Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Several options... Dark Flesh Undercoat Liche Purple Base coat Foundry paints Royal Purple Dark Edge highlighting, blended into basecoat http://www.tvxc.org/minis/inq_fin.jpg Takes ages, but looks loverly... OR a quicker rank and file option Grey Undercoat Liche Purple Base coat 75:25 Purple ink/Blue ink heavy wash/glaze in future floor wax suspension No highlight necessary (if done right ;) ) http://www.tvxc.org/minis/dreadnaught1.jpg Look at the pad on the base...

Luther - the fallen Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I've also considered making a SD army allthough I thought of using C:CSM (I would make the force mentioned in Soul Drinker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbo Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 @LupoLoopy What colour would you use for the upper highlight if it had to be from GW? No worries about taking ages, I'm spending about 5 hours of GS time a model anyway. :) well they gotta look pretty. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow, but I have gotten nice results with Liche Purple as a basecoat, and then mixing in Fortress Grey as highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbo Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Nice one, I'd love to see now that turns out. I don't know why but I seem to think that Grey would ruin the colour, but this is only becuase I've never tried it. Would be nice to see how it comes out.

flyinghippo Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 http://www.tvxc.org/minis/dreadnaught1.jpg [ :ot: ] Eisenhorn was a really good book... [/ :ot: ] I would personally do something like Liche Purple -> Skull White/Liche Purple. Use as many highlights as you think you can handle...

ardyer Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Off topic: LupoLoopy, how'd you do the metallics on the dred's legs? On topic: I generally talke Liche Purple and mix it with a little bit of Black, and then highlight by adding in Space Wolf Grey. Unfortunatly, I don't have a good pic of how this turns out :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries about taking ages, I'm spending about 5 hours of GS time a model anyway. :o well they gotta look pretty. :) Liche Purple plus bleached bone I would say, to keep the result quite warm. Off topic: LupoLoopy, how'd you do the metallics on the dred's legs? 1) Boltgun metal basecoat. 2 )Drybrush Chainmail 3) Drybrush Silver 4) 15:15:70 Black ink:Brown ink:Matt Medium glazed all over, thinned with water to act as flow aid. Repeat as desired. 5) 15:15:70 Brown ink:Chesnut ink:Matt Medium glazed all over, thinned with water to act as flow aid. Repeat as desired. OFF TOPIC - Why have my images been designated IPB?

Obliterator Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 OFF TOPIC - Why have my images been designated IPB? Bandwidth exceeded or server problems perhaps? Edit: well, here is the pic I promised: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Obliterator/WIP/DeathCultAssassinWIP.jpg Liche Purple basecoat first highlight: add Fortress Grey to the Liche Purple add more Fortress Grey to the highlight mix, repeat until you're satisfied I added some Skull White in there for extreme highlights apply a glaze of VERY thinned down Liche Purple.
