Well, at least I started, taht's a good sign.

 

Anyway, I was bored of the sucky paintjob and them not looking like proper black dragons.

At first, I thugh cutting each blade out of plasticard "manually" looked silly, now, I see that it gives each blade enough distinction that it looks like a mutation that has been used in battle, chipped and filed.

 

/forgetting the picture is silly.

Yay Black Dragons! I like the guy with the big wings on his chest. What parts did you use for him? As for the painting, the only thing I would fix is to make the highlights thinner and sharper and to tighten up the chapter badge. Can't wait to see more. :lol:

Okay, it's very WiP, but it gives a nice idea of how I want to do my "assault marines redux", less clean, including the black.

 

I am going for a matte, "stealthish" black rather than the shiny "templar" black.

 

Any suggestions/opinions?

The flaming sword?

 

A tutorial? It's really not that hard, layer/blend in this order:

scorched brown

scab red

red gore

blood red

fiery orange

bad moon yellow

bleached bone

skull white

 

I suppose a different orange or yellow won't really matter, but bad moon is nicely bright and fiery orange is pretty "strong".

 

Now, when you are at yellow, don't go to white, go to bleached bone first, skull white is "flat", bleached bone is "warm", don't be afraid if you see some stripes or a less subtle difference between layers on some spots, it makes it look more like fire instead of a smooth lightsaber-esque effect.

 

And yes, I used catachan blades.
