ixupi Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 My biggest suggestion would to be to use a color closer to your base in the recesses, because in the picture it looks more reddish then indicating that it's bone.

Damo1701 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Cheers for the replies guys. The way I did the second one was to prime black, base with bestial brown, then several thinner layers of bleached bone. I did try mixing bone with brown but it came up almost pink?!? You can see on the Crux terminatus, which is why I drybrushed it afterwards with bleached bone. Artziel, Cheers mate, but I always wanna hear the truth, isn't that what the B&C is famous for? lol Yeah, it took me a while to get back in the swing of things so I hope my brush control has gotten better. AJ, you've been PM'd. ixupi, The lighting and flash on the camera makes the brown look reddish, from the tabletop though I thought it looked ok, I'll have another look to see if I can do anything about it. Cheers guys, keep 'em coming. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/92057-blast-from-the-past-vs-todays-standard/#findComment-1058211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi_soldier Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 The second one for sure. I would lightne the sading up a bit, and get some new basing techniques over thatstock green base :P srill teh bolters and pick out the very edges in the brightest spots with some white looks good Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/92057-blast-from-the-past-vs-todays-standard/#findComment-1058212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
millest Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 hi fella i will say the second one looks pretty good, the bone has definately improved and i know they look 100% better in real life but im still not 100% on the amount of brown showing, the transition from brown to bone i think need to be a little subtler? maybe another lighter brown/bone mix before the final bone. as for the crux i think this colour gives it a very "stoney" look more in keeping with the old fluff explanation of the crux. well done and keep the pics and models coming fella cheers millest Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/92057-blast-from-the-past-vs-todays-standard/#findComment-1059642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigaro Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 awsome, you definatly improved!!! the reason your bones are coming out red, is because of the pigments used to make beastie brown try this 2 layers of graveyard earth 1 layer of khaki, or until completely covered then highlight with bone/khaki, and then straight bone on the fine edges thats gives you an interesting bone or....for the long method 2 layers of graveyard earth, or until completely covered 50/50 khaki and graveyeard earth, about two layers will do, just cover the graveyard base 70/30 khaki and ge, leave the last highlight showing straight khaki highlight khaki+ bone 50/50 , this is a broad stroke ont he fine edges stragith bone over that on the very fine sharp edges Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/92057-blast-from-the-past-vs-todays-standard/#findComment-1064429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodedreeper Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 looks great,big improvement! The only nit-pick i have is to ink the metal areas either black or brown,depending if you want worn metal or rusty metal. Keep up the great work!
