Zgar Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 UPDATE Hail brothers, have today painted the DE captives and finaly decided to go for a Dark Red / Bone colour scheme. I kind of like the idea of a "Tyranid camouflaged" Dark Eldar. Fluff wise these may be some sort of a kult, which is experimenting on a symbiosis with the Tyranids and has implemented a matching colour scheme as the hive fleet Kraken... who knows wha tare the DE up to... :P Tell me what you think.... ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/WIP/captives2_1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/WIP/captives2_2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/WIP/captives2_3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/page/2/#findComment-1040904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Lookin fantastic there Zgar. The color scheme for the DE came out very well and adds a bit of color to the rhino for sure (black is good, but it can get a bit plain after a while :P). Keep up the great work ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/page/2/#findComment-1040956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother 'Ussell Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Tank and kill team look great, I really like the bases on the kill team.

Lord Ragnarok Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Lovely touch with having the Dark Eldar scum locked in the rhino. I missed this thread. Excellent painting. Love your style. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/page/2/#findComment-1040975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I"m sorry for this really late reply, but I think the bare head would better suit the female eldar... as the helmet, IMO, looks a little odd.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 As Zgar said, its an armor fetish :) Although i feel the plume at the back of the helmet might help as well, although the female DE still looks good as she is.

Master Toddius Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Wow... I've never thought of actually making a holding area for captured enemy models B4. Thats a really great idea. Nicely done. Very original and well executed.

Low on Ammo Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Is anyone else freaked out by that last pic with the DE leering right at the camera you know in that "if I get out of here I'm going fiddle with your innards" look?

Zgar Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Is anyone else freaked out by that last pic with the DE leering right at the camera you know in that "if I get out of here I'm going fiddle with your innards" look? Great and thanks! It actually was the aim to model the DE male in a arrogant/angry way! The female is made to be frustrated/tyred. Seems like it was done quite OK... :o Re "plume on helmet" - all those DE plumes are made in a straight way, sort of blowing in the wind style... does not fit much into a Rhino interior and to the pose of the head. Plus it won't fit anymore into the inside - the model would be too high. I could have modelled something out of GS though, but I sort of liked the looks of the "bare helmet"... Thanks to all you guys for your nice comments! Good to know you like it! :D Cheers!

The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Heh, the general idea of physics must have been absent when i suggested the plume. With that now in mind, you can probably get away without having one on the female DE (it isnt necessary in any case).

Azazal Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Looks very nice, the red does show very well when the top is on, good choose.

Obliterator Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Great idea, and even greater execution :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/page/2/#findComment-1041565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zgar Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 might i inquire how you do blk? Well I am not too fond abt the highlights myself, as they are still quite messy, but in real light / table top it ain't that visible and does not look all bad... Since I was also uncertain abt black, I have asked the more experienced ones and got good hints in this thread - linky. My only extra abt black is that even after priming with a black spray, I undercoat the mini with regular black, but use black ink instead of water for thinning it down - this way the colour is more rich (if black can be richer at all...) plus it sort of gives a more glancy/satin looks. May not be wanted for all models though. Hope this helps. @Azazal & Oblit - Thanks for compliments! :blush: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/page/2/#findComment-1041711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
