The chapter master looks fantastic damo. The cape effect is very nice, looks very shimmery. I could also imagine it on an eldar cape. What really pulls the model together though man is that awesome painting on the face - he looks royally pi..ed off! You are a master! Oh, and grats on dominating the gallery page today with your ferrus.

There's definitely an Italian/Latin flavor to the HG names, so how about Pedicabo Vos...? I think that fits is expression and general demeanor....

Bah, the speed and output totally mystify me, I figured I could paint 27 models in quick time at table top standard, you're pumping out primarchs in a day, chapter masters in (looked to be about 3 days) all to a level that has melted my mind....

God i love coming to this thread.

I see you're using pyriel's technique on the cloak (I mean you said as much... but it obvious to see too). It's quite good... though I think the dark shift on some of the spots might be just a bit too much. I'll have to take a look at his Salamander captain again and refresh my memory.

It might loo more start because the photo is blown up so much. It'd be good to see it resized to actual marine size - it'll make the paint look a heap more impressive as well!

Thank you all so much i'm really chuffed you think so highly of my little artistic endeavors! i'm pretty pleased with it all so far! that cloak was fun to do and I looked at the cloak Pyriel did on his Coteaz model and some photo's and the 'dotty' transitions are quite harsh from the dark to the light side, but the size of the image does effect the look, i'll see if I can snap a more normal distance shot for you to have a look at soon

today I tried *sigh* yet again to do a face tute ONE DAY I shall get clear shots! I can get them when they're in a model but you think I can snap a clear shot on a stick?


anyway, the first two steps are to prime black and then go over the face with Tallarn Flesh, we'll start the pics now from stage 3!

Stage 3: wash with Ogryn flesh & apply highlights with watered down tallarn flesh

Stage 4: Tallarn Flesh, Fortress Grey 70/30 highlight raised areas

Stage 5: 60/20/20 Tallarn Flesh, Fortres grey, Bleached Bone

Stage 6: add about 10% more bleached bone into previous mix

Stage 7: add about 5% more Bleached Bone and water down more

Stage 8: add some scab red into the previous skin mix and paint the bottom lip and blush cheeks and around bionics

Stage 9: Bleached bone teeth and base coat hair & beards then wash and re highlight and do metals




and a little insight, into how I paint, I tend to get a model and base coat all the main colours using brown for the base of any golds, parchment,leather then wash each bit with either black or brown ready for the net session!

Hey Damo... when you think you've got the tut ready to go, put it all together and submit it as an article. That way folks can link directly to it.

speaking of tutes how do you mean Gits? do I get it all polished and give it to a mod or am I missing something? also any tips on getting good head shots? I'm macro-ing and trying everything I can think of but i'm obviously not happy yet......

That tutorial is good enough for me and I thought the pictures were certainly good enough.

I will definitely give it a go in the next few days when I do my TWC riders

Those are some cool heads that you painted, the one on the left kinda reminds me of a guy I used to work with.

Actually give that one on the left some hair and change the colour to dark it could almost be 40K Grumpy Gitsplitta (not that Gits is grumpy but that face looks it)

Naah, nothing that complicated. Just get it all squared away, copy the lot... then make a new post here Painting and Modeling Tutorials in the P&M Forum. Just a better place to put a solid tut, rather than burying it in your blog.

That sounds ambitious. I can't find any good examples online either, so I'd say you should come up with some good concept work first.

Well, I know the process involved even though I have only done the base designs on the DC Rhino, but I reckon I can do it for yellow and red considering it's a HQ transport? I think it'll suit the theme of the knightly style marines and since it's only a smallish force I can spend a wee bit of time on doing nice things for it? I mean, I've only got 3 more Primarch and a LR and Termies and a couple of chappies to do for the sharks right? lol :-) so yeah I'll smash it in!
