Bits and pieces...
« on: November 4, 2010, 08:49:51 AM »
Have you finished all your Orks..?
no...

What about the Space Wolves..?
no...

The Dark Angels..?
no...

Then why on Earth are you starting something else..?
um...

Well after reading some Black Templars novels I kind of thought I'd have a go...

The idea of this is that these guys are the last three remaining Black Templars from their squad making their last stand, fighting back-to-back. I really wanted to get across that they'd be fighting a long hard fight. That they were bloody and covered in filth and mire from the battlefield. They'll eventually be placed on some kind of scenic base, but there's still a long way to go..!



















This is kind of how they'll be posed in the finished thing...




You know one day I'll actually finish something... I will...

I think the three work really nice together (might be why they're the last ones standing... ;) ).  Oh, and I could totally picture a kneeling apothecary doing his grisly geneseed sampling somewhere close on that base. And...

Having seen your other models, I'm quite ready to see them all painted up, so gogo!

ps. I did spot a couple of mold lines that detracted a little from the paintjob and such.
In case of doubt, duck! Hit the ground... Though not a tactical advantage per sé, it does make you feel safer for a couple of seconds

A little damage and a little detail...

First up squad leader Brother Konrad - Imperial Fists






Next up Brother Dekar - Blood Angels












I'm having fun with the paint chips and damage on these fellas, but I'm not sure how to approach the paint chips on Brother Montbard - the Black Templar..? Maybe chipped away to a dark grey or something..? Any thoughts/ideas..?

cheers..!

A bit more damage etc...


First up Brother Montbard - Black Templars
I decided to use a dark grey for his chipped paint in the end...





Next, Brother Horal - Dark Angels
I lightened up the 'Dark Angels Green' with a touch of 'Catachan Green' to create a little more contrast with the black armour...






Finally it's Brother Skarssen - Vlka Fenryka





All together now..!

Cheers mate..!

I'm really enjoying these fellas. It's just a mini project as a break from my billions of Word Bearers still to paint... It's nice to be able to use another colour other than red..!

Black Templars, Deathwatch, bits and pieces... Now with added Tau..!

Dazzle Camo Speed Camera Fire Warrior...

That's not my latest Burroughsian cut-up prose, but a description of my lastest endeavour...

I've been wanting to use some kind of dazzle camo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage) for a long while, and thought that the Tau would be ideal candidates...

Firstly the Dazzle Camo Speed Camera:


This Fire Warrior was, for some reason, just there amongst my paints, so I decided to give it a try:











I am actually quite happy with how he's coming along. Paint is a bit scrappy, but I really like the overall look...

Nice job, I like it. Have fun and good luck in keeping up the motivation to paint all of them like that though.  :) I have hit a motivational challenge on my own and they are easy to do lol, yours actually look like a decent amount of work.

More Fire Warriors...










I'm going to be using this dazzle camo idea on an XV25 Stealth Team and some Kroot (and maybe a Piranha...)

It's all cool stuff, although technically a Thousand Son would not bleed, as he is just dust inside his armour. Unless it's pre-rubic.

I did think about that... but without the blood it looked a bit... rubbish!

Surely some Thousand Sons are flesh and blood? Those with strong psychic powers? I don't know... Looks cooler with the blood though!
