Was about to post a new model I completed in the showcase section, but I realized I would probably be posting a bunch, and the blog section is probably more appropriate. Posting models as they are completed will motivate me to keep going

Looking good, your OSL went really well.

Cant wait to see some more.

that is a VERY good Libby. love the glow.

Nice work

Thanks for the comments, guys. I have another sanguinary guard, and his pistol is very close to his force weapon. How do you deal with 2 light sources interacting?

Should I paint the darker glow of the pistol on the force weapon, or the brighter glow of the force weapon on the pistol? Or just ignore it all together.

Gorgeous green color!

did you airbrush the osl? if so might i recomend a smaller spray of a much brighter color overtop

Having fun with the airbrush, I see?

I was wondering if you could post some side, or even back shots of the models. It would be cool to see the rest of the OSL.

Also, have you tried OSL on the jump packs?

The most recent guy from 2 other angles :





I haven't done more than spray the jets sky blue... I'm afraid if I try any more OSL on the model it will look too blue... I may have already put too much blue on them.

The power swords don't exactly look like they are radiating enough light... need to figure out a better way to do them.

Yes, very good OSL. Muted, not to bright, but just a small glow, like it should be, not a harsh light coming off them.

My new compressor got here today, so I can spray at lower PSI's now.

Excellent OSL! as for your question about the two sources i would say it depends on which is brighter. the brighter color would override the darker like say bright yellow would over take a dark blue light. id say it depends. although if the light sources are far enough apart id say you could ignore it.

Hmm... I think I'm just going to ignore the proximity of the sources and just try to paint it normally. It would be wierd tying to paint a blue glow off an orange light source, and an orange light source off a blue glow.

Finished the squad!

Really good. I'd never heard of OSL before this but it looks amazing.

Just finished up a 5 man squad of assault marines.

Excellent work! You pulled off the two sources wonderfully. i also like the colors you choose for the weapons, alot of models just have blue or white for the plasma coils. i also wanted to take a second and say that i like your basing.

Gorgeous stuff. Very unique finish with that airbrush

Thanks !

Next guy I'm working on is my sanguinary priest...WIP below.

Finished the apothecary!

Some WIP shots of my assault marines... not much work done, but whats cool is that these guys so far are almost entirely airbrushed... only brush painting is the grey rims around the jets. Starting to get the hang of Zenithal Highlighting.





Just for Funzies, I painted a few AOBR terminators as well... came out pretty well. Not related to this army, but still.

Currently have 9x marines of this quality painted, almost done with them! pistol needs work, as does the base, then I need to find a way to paint the Aurora Chapter symbol on their shoulder evenly.

great glow effect here, liking it alot!

thanks man, appreciate the feedback

I really like the fade effect on the chainswords, nice job!

That is some amazing OSL!!! The Apothecary is awesome, and the Assault Librarian is effing amazing.

Wait till you see the next apothecary I'm doing

I think he's gonna look even cooler.

wowzers

very cool and well done!

Thanks smitty!

some more progress:

Just finished up a 5 man assault squad. Very proud of how it turned out.

Upon posting, I noticed I forgot to drill barrels, and one guy's eyes need some work. Other than that, however... looks pretty good.

The OSL on those models is amazing, any chance you could put a tutorial or a step by step guide on how you did it, i'd really like to give this sort of thing a go, but dont know how to start.

Amazing looking army, keep up the good work

I've been using this fantastic guide here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Zenithal_Airbrushing,_OSL_and_Snow_and_Ice_Tutorial,_subject_-_Grey_Knight

I used the zenithal highlighting technique for all these guys, along with the highlight technique he describes.

The one thing I do differently is I outline a lot of the details in black ink, so the airbrushed highlights stand out a bit more.

working on updating my chaplain.. used him a while back. worked on his base, primed / initially highlighted his jump pack. Here he is so far:
