I agree

at RW.... what happened?? have you matured during the last day??? that is so not you...

well i wanted to add to it, but i dont want to risk being the one who gets this thread shut down, and vik you know what happend to me in the last day

not in so many words ... and of course... a gentleman keeps quite about such things...

Now we need more pics from Bubble

As you can see I'm not very far along with this guy but it's a start... trying to decide whether to do the back of his cloak the same as Sicarius's, i.e. white, or try an new sort of parchment-y vaguely goldy colour... that's a great description right there



And here is my newly constructed 3rd baby blue boy! xxx

Nice update bubble!, I like where your going with this marine so far, and like that you admit they are baby blue boys ... oh and the panda in you sig made me laugh

The poses are great and totally get the HE-MAN reference Unhealthy

Miss Dee you know Vik to well

why thank you miss dee

tho i think you could do with a little more diluted paints? on some points it looks a bit bumpy... i say this as i have seen on other minis of yours smoother surfaces...

as for the new fella... pose looks good... but i fear the loincloth doesn´t sit right atm... i think it needs some readjusting...maybe a bit lower...

hmmm...

If we shadows have offended, / Think but this, and all is mended, / That you have but slumber'd here / While these visions did appear. / And this weak and idle theme, / No more yielding but a dream, / Gentles, do not reprehend: / If you pardon we will mend. / Else the Puck a liar call. / Give me your hands, if we be friends, / And Robin shall restore amends

might be fitting with a humble bow...

where is that from vik, it was rymed like crazy plus my sisters name is Robin.. but i doubt she will restore anything

hellooo.... and thanks

and yes, true but a lot of people I know on here are like that- ADD hobbyists

Ok, first off- lovely sexist insult there also, give me some legitimate reasons why he's a 'poon'? It's just fashionable to dislike him xxx

Well some lost soul has ta do Ultra smurfs

How's it sexist to call you a Flip-flopper, or are you referring to "poon." also he is a poon because he utterly fails at everything. How can you write the Codex Astartes the way he did and not be a poon? In any case...

After the death of Horus and the near-death of the Emperor, Guilliman assumed the throne and became the Lord Commander of the Imperium, which granted him the same authority as the Emperor. While the other primarchs looked outward, intent on destroying the traitor legions and finding new recruits to rebuild their armies, Guilliman cast his furious gaze inward, towards the loyalist Space Marines themselves.

Guilliman was in a position of immense power at the time, possessing the strongest Space Marine legion (Because the Ultramarines did not participate in any of the major battles of the Horus Heresy due to Guilliman being duped by the Alpha Legion, they didn't take heavy losses like the Salamanders and Imperial Fists.), the most political sway (He was noted for being the Emperor's favorite after Horus and Sanguinius), and more than enough resources to make any calls needed to repair the Imperium. What the fractured and devastated people needed most was a strong leader willing to take action and to resolve the problems the galaxy now faced. What they got was Guilliman... To his credit, like all deranged leaders before him, Guilliman was courageously paranoid FOR THE PEOPLE. The primarch of the Ultramarines supremely doubted his brother primarchs and their ability to stay pure for the unforeseeable future.

Hence, while he occupied the throne, he began work on the Codex Astartes: a work of pure insecurity and paranoia that would soon tear the Space Marines apart and make them more difficult to manage and rebuild than ever (it is rumoured to be based on an ancient Terran game called "Simon says", Roboute decided that Roboute Says was too obvious and went with his publishers recommendation of "Codex Astartes"). Assuming the worst of his brethren, and perhaps even his own men, Guilliman decreed that all Space Marine legions must be broken into chapters of no greater than one thousand, forcing them to act as more individualistic groups lacking in cohesive leadership. Imperial historians hum, quietly, that there may have been alternatives at the time. The people were shocked at the force the traitor legions had brought to Terra, but many were certainly more interested in being protected from the ravages of the splintered traitors than they were in seeing the Imperium's best armed forces made disorganized. One possibility may have been consolidating all Marines into one force, organizing them like a real army with checks and balances, but Guilliman would have none of it.

Instead, he demanded the fragmentation of the Imperium's finest, which was frankly outrageous to the other primarchs. Rogal Dorn even sought to topple the decree, risking a civil war for the sake of keeping the Space Marines as functional groups that could fight and act as a whole. In the end, however, Dorn was too preoccupied with self-doubt, blaming himself for the death of the Emperor, and he eventually succumbed to Guilliman's plans. That and those lazy bastards (imperial navy..) opened fire on him. etc etc etc..

i said good day!

No I meant poon silly was just teasing!

Good points -well presented, but who knows what any other primarch would have done in his position? They may have done exactly the same or, maybe even a lot worse...

I'm just defending the underdog here, everyone hates the ultramarines, it's sillyyy!

Sanguinius would have been brilliant... but I say that as a full blown Sangi groupie lol

ANYWAY- update coming this evening xxx

No hate, all space marines are awesome! he just shouldn't have split up the chapters i don't think.

anyway, subbed!

Fair enough!

heheh thank you for subbing! xxx

also, click my link!

Andddd... ta-da! Finished Champion for you all

I'm particually pleased with the sword- completed with help from the ever talented J-Paint

Thoughts pleassse xxx

should highlight the lightning effect on your power weapon to kind of blend it into the color of the sword. the shield could use a little more wash to give it a worn effect! Other than my humble opinions i think it looks great!

dangerous...? hmmm... *beady eye look*

that cab hailer will surley not stay long in the rain for sure!!!...

the sword is looking damn fine i say... the transition from the haft to the very point is very smooth... and then to have the nerve to try those lighting lines on that smooth job... congratz! you certainly have some balls

now the only thing needed is to teach you to make better pics... the liightning swallowed a whole lot of your efforts...

if you are working that good in the future...and try to get even better...heavens forbid...then you need a lightbox...

yeah i know... i don´t own one either... but it´s on the todo list

oh you're definitely dangerous! I've got my eye on you... lol

and yes I was terrified of doing the sword, I had to be spoon-fed all the way by J-Paint as he's done that sort of smooth blending before The lightning look is something I've been wanting to do for ages and I'm glad it paid off

Hahaha you're such a big meany the pics aren't any where near as bad as some on dakka but I do see your point I will attempt to improve for youuuuu lol xxx

see! that was the point i was making^^... improving... yes... you don´t learn for yourself you learn for your teach

every school kid does it

lol... i bet you where terrified... i knew i would if i ever came across such skill of my own only to maybe win or loose out on such freehand stuff again... i would have blown my top of my head of ^^

Overall nice paint job, I think the lightning is a nice touch but maybe as mentioned a little blending would not go a miss to subtle it a little

I am glad the cape stayed the same they will look more coherent

bubble wrote:Andddd... ta-da! Finished Champion for you all

Wow, I'm really impressed! You have got the blue perfectly so it really pops out at you without being too bright which really grabbed my attention, the gold trim is neat and crisp and the detailing is excellent. The only thing I could suggest is maybe blend the lightning on the power sword into the blue, that should help it glow a little bit more although you don't want to over do it otherwise it may distract from the rest of the model. Other that that awesome work and definitely subscribing to this thread!

Hi there MetalOxide, thanks for dropping in and subbing

xxx

You are welcome

Not much progress was made yesterday... but it was the first sunny day in the UK in about a month so you can't blame me

Made another marine, hooray!

Hopefully will start Mr Powerfist today xxx

That guy's ace Bubba, love his GS hair too!!!

he's one perdy man bubble, and nice job on the GS too!

i like the GS hair a lot!!!that doesn´t look like the usual poke and call it sculpted look... that really is a hairdo! well what where we supposed to see...after all it was made by a girl

one thing tho... the major pain in the eye mold line of the plasma gun... eh?

but other than that... a cool looking mini... specially like the kneeling and aiming pose... by the way... has anyone ever seen a scifi vid where someone actually fires a plasma tech weapon? would love to see these in action...

Very nice GS work on the hair. It could have ended up in a something messy but your technique is good.

Of course it gives your marine an odd late 80s/early 90s look, but I really liked David Hasselhoff when I was a kid

^that... it is a hasslehoff^^

Nice looking Ultras, Bubbles. Good work so far, keep it up! Subscribed, and it's good to be here!

LDP

Liking the hair on that lad a lot, it looks great. You have to give one of your ultras a full beard, it would look great with your technique!
Or maybe a Lincoln-beard? Or a big mustarche? (I think I'll have to try this myself one time!)

I keep wanting to comment, but the Kudo I would mention is used already by others...

You could always look on eBay for the metal versions and strip the paint off them? Or maybe get some alternate models, but you'll have to bear in mind that you will not be able to use non GW models in a GW shop.

Edit: Or you could convert them if you have the skills, patience and time.

Just poppin by to ooze out some more Ultra-Hate. JK!
I do like that hair, makes him look like he SNAPPED INTO A SLIM JIM! Maybe that refrence is too american. IDK. Anyway who doesn't like plasma guns! A whole Imperial Guard Battallion w/ Plawsma Guhns totally awesome! LOL. Also are you gonna base him? Give him sum luffin on the paint? or is he gonna be another grunt nid treat?

A pleasure as always, Picasso.

?? lol Macho Man Randy Savage never had hair like that...

Sigh... not really any progress today, again it was too sunny to do anything but sunbathe

BUT, my helmets did arrive! Going with the whole Roman thing seeing as I started it off with Sicarius...

Thoughts? xxx

One thats not Roman.. Its Greek. Two why not? just dont do spartans unless you know their true history and not doing cause of 300.

Whoopps I knew they were Greek d'oh ... lol anyway, maybe... I know all about what Spartans were really like- my dad hates 300 for how historically inaccurate it was lol. xxx

This is CAKE TOWN!!

I do agree with the fact that the helmet that bubbles bought has a greek shape, but if it was painted a tarnished silver + gold with red for the crest it should be roman enough.

hehe thanks for the link Xxxx

Smurfettes not a bad name for yourslef I must admit, although bubble-bubba-ect. is so much more fluid of a name ... and Nice ultrasmurfette you got here im excited to see what you do with the banner!

well you certainly have lots of space for freehand stuff on that banner...

and yes... those helmets will be a characterful addition to your





and as for smurfette... well everyone knows she was a black haired one before papa smurf turned her in a blonde...a bit stereotype of him, eh?

LOL Vik you prankster you!

not mine... but i think was needed^^

Good pose and the head fits in well with your look, nice job ultrasmurfete

heheh that's funny Vik... I always thought that episode where Smurfette had black hair was odd... lol

I made an apothecary today, and the guy with the power fist is almost finished so I hopefully post him here soon

Also, 5 comments away from 1000? Oh dear oh dear haha xxx

1st rule of dakka - pics or it didnt happen! so show us that apothecary!... ultrasmurfette

Well seeing as you asked RW...

He's pretty standard, rather boring compared to some of my others but I still like him

DAMN this photo has emphasized that mould line on his arm... bane of my life xxx

I do agree with the fact that the helmet that bubbles bought has a greek shape, but if it was painted a tarnished silver + gold with red for the crest it should be roman enough.

Bronze was a normal crafting medium for armor for greek. Steal was that of the roman - started off with iron. Romans had rounded helmets with rounded check guards and grounded sheilds and rounded armor. They didn't want any armor bites. The spike above the forhead along with the narrow eye and gap between the middle of the face reconds it is greek and only greek. Just saying, painting silver wont make it roman.

hmmm.... that apothearian needs some more ... something that gives him that special smurfette look... ? anything up your sleave for that? and will he be mostly white? for my own chapter i´ve gone a general sandy or rather beige scheme... my apothecarian is thus a bit fairer in colors but otherwise looks matching the other SM models... if you are feeling experimental , then this one could be more light blue then white... would be something newish to set your army apart from all the other marine ones... by the way... my techmarine is discernible darker in its hue but still remains the colors of my chapter...

See that's what I mean, it's a bit boring... I have lots of odd bits around so I think I'll add something I'm not sure if I'm going to paint him mostly white or just the head... I think all white will look great but I just hate painting in white, find it hard to make it look good. Ooooh, the light blue suggestion is interesting! Thanks!

oh and, hooray! We're over the 1000 replies milestone!

And yes Childe, my nails are tatty, thanks for noticing lol xxx

Mah Pleaszure wenchly wenchington

The nails on my other hand actually say 'ULTRA' so that's got to be worse that tatty nail polish... xxx

lol... just noticed the nails... the horror...

and well light blue body and one shoulderpad for the profession as a apothecarian in white and the other for the chapter in ultramarine blue... and.....you do realize that a white headed blue bodied marine looks like:

I wouldn't be so certain, the Romans had crests on their helmets as well... below is a Roman centurion helmet with a red crest...


I do agree with the fact that the helmet that bubbles bought has a greek shape, but if it was painted a tarnished silver + gold with red for the crest it should be roman enough.

Bronze was a normal crafting medium for armor for greek. Steal was that of the roman - started off with iron. Romans had rounded helmets with rounded check guards and grounded sheilds and rounded armor. They didn't want any armor bites. The spike above the forhead along with the narrow eye and gap between the middle of the face reconds it is greek and only greek. Just saying, painting silver wont make it roman.

Was just trying to help as I don't think that the Greek look works with Ultramarines IMO...

Hmmm, interesting, interesting.........

Just stumbled on this here bolg 'o' yours and had a bit of a look , from what i have managed to peruse thus far.... not bad at all, i will of course have a proper look as soon as i have time but i do really like the look of the Sang guard wings you did early on and the way you are putting the Ultras together is great, they look fantastic (for Ultras) especially the captain power sword with the slightly blue fade! job well done bubble! keep it up..... and i see all the cool kids hang out here too! Hi MrMerlin, GiraffeX, MetalOxide and of course everyone's fave Mr Dsteingass!

Hi Bubble, I've seen you posting on some other threads and thought I would check out what you are upto. I've had a slow day at work so skimmed the entire thread. I must say as a newbie to the hobby your painting was very good and is improving, I also really like some of the Ultramarines you are building too. I am also really impressed with the GS hair on the knealing marine, any chance of a quick tutorial? Have you started painting any of the other marines? Glad to see there is plenty of banter on here too!

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by hehe oh lord I could do a tutorial next time I make some hair... it's a very similar method to how J-Paint does his valhallan hats No as of yet but I'm waiting for my new spraypaint to arrive so can't start anymore until that gets here xxx

And... seeing as Vik was saying that my Apothecary lacked the 'Ultrasmurfette' look, I've changed him a little... I think he looks a bit more dynamic now? xxx

Very heroic!

much better bubble... the addition of the servo skull is a nice gimmick... and the pose is standing a bit lopsided way better ! gives him an air of physician nonchalance... so common with docs all over the galaxy^^

by the way.. i had a reading error when clicking your thread... for a sec i read...a boobs first attempt... i couldn´t keep my face straight thought i´d share that piece of info with you^^

Apothecary is looking really good, I like the little addition of the servo skull.

Wow, that model looks awesome! Love the heroic pose of it!

I'm def diggin the sculpted hair

I will have to take a couple hours and read through this when I have time !

nice pose on the apothicary bubble!

The rocks helped that pose Bubble!

Much cheesier! If you wanted ultra cheese you can make that chainsword arm look somewhat like it's resting on his shoulder and then make him look the other way, resting the narthecium on his leg or something
nonetheless, I wanna see this guy painted!

Wow, nice looking model, the blue really pops out at you. Could do with some dry brushing on the base though.

Nice clean paint job! Looking good!

A few shadows and highlights and it could be top notch

Why thank you for the welcome. The blue looks great but my favourite part is the gold. How did you do that? If you don't mind me asking?

Wow bubble, you're getting better! Great work on that mini, the blue and gold both look great!

yers... that is probably the currently best paintjob of yours! and the perfect lighting helped to bring the mini to pop too...wouldn´t know for a change what to add here... good job bubble!!!

I like the face Bubble, good job! you could (if you want) maybe just add a tiny little bleached bone highlight on his brow, cheeks and chin to lift it but other than that you've done great! the blue is nicely done and your gold is lovely! looking forward to more. :-)

WOW Bubble. he looks amazing! i really like how the cloth turned out too. great job there little noobita.

now that just feels so wrong to say.. noob.. hmm.. nah, i still think you should change the name.. you are waaaaay past noobish by now! "little smurfettes amazing ultramarines" would be much more fitting imho. but hey! that's just me.


AAAANYWAY great job and keep it up!

Woah, you did a great job, especially on his head. Excellent job!

clean smurf you have here bubble, i definatly like the look on his face!

Biohazard wrote:Why thank you for the welcome. The blue looks great but my favourite part is the gold. How did you do that? If you don't mind me asking?

I do bronzed flesh first as painting the shining gold on black just takes forever to cover... then lots of black wash when the gold is strong enough xxx

Nice crisp model there! Very nice!

Thanks shasolenzabi

Here's a surprise extra marine! Hehe, he was up until recently a black templar :O

Liking the head or no?

Few subtle things- tried some script on the purity seal on his leg and his shoulder a transfer on his other shoulder

Haven't really made any of my bases interesting but I'll post pics as and when I do lol xxx

And that my dear smurfette, you pulled off incredebly good.. thouh imo, think you could put a little more on the purity seal on his shoulder.

Yeah, nice work on also using the greek style helmet too!

Pretty solid looking paint again

A little work on cleaning up your shoulder trim and a few highlights would make this top notch, but you are improving all the time!

What order are you applying your colours in?

Excellent work. The helmet looks pretty good painted. I wasn't sure about it before. Thanks for the tip on the gold

well bubble... you are rather productive now... the left shoulderpad of the new guy looks very cool indeed... i like how you´ve built up theose hues... same goes for the head... you are really getting the hang of painting... somehow you are at a very good paintinglevel now!!!

BUT...one thing i have to point out...
would it be possible to either get yourself some shoulderpads with raised ultra details OR to attempt to freehand the sign on the right pad? the decal looks so flat compared to the stunning paintjob on the left shoulderpad... i fear the use of decals would let your skill down a bit...

and nice new title too^^

Bubble is that IG psyker in you sig painted by you?

@vik thanks for you thoughts as usual i'll bear that in mind next time i paint a model!

and @rogue, noooo it's j-paint's! it's just some shameless promotion for him, he's auctioning it off on ebay : lol xxx

i bet you have enough freehand skills already to do that... try yourself on a piece of paper...!

i hope j-paint sells it for a mint price!

I KNOW! They are literally the most awesome thing. You have no idea how long I spent looking at the MK1 and MK2 boxes and trying to decide which to get...

Fair enough. I can sympathise that painting red is freaking annoying, I’ve been wading through red for longer than I can remember with my BAs. I'm looking forward to getting around to my DC, which will be white though, as I'm doing an Angels Encarmine army.

Anyway, keep it up anyway, looking forward to see what else you churn out. Any vehicles in the pipeline?

No problem cutiepie.

I used to think my wallet would be safe...... then..... then, the IG happened. First it was just Infantry, then a single Valk, and I thought I was happy. But, it doesn't end there. Now I have terrain, and some vehicles, and Ultra's, and lot's of other stuff on the way. It IS plasticrck basically.

Hi Bubble! Cool mode... oh waite

Okaaaay! Sorry about the long wait for an update. I seemed to be stuck on this one for ages... there wasn't much detail to paint on him and that kinda made me get a little bored of him :S but he's done now and I can move on to the standard bearer xxx

OH and- I know the base needs stuff doing to it, I'll get round to it lol xxx

Very clean paintjob, but like you said there isnt as much detail on his armor as the rest. nice job bubbs

He's just really blue... I guess that's what comes of having him in that pose :S ah well xxx

actually your blue starts to look really bright and...well smufish^^... wich is a nice twist to the ultra scheme...

and the other colors like white and red are really clan and crips looking...

Haha Sidonus better watch what he says... there's inquisition everywhere, also loving the new marine you painted!

Heheh, thanks Metaloxide

Ok this photo is just up so you know which guy I'm talking about- obviously he's extremely WIP right now...


Want to discuss the banner. Any ideas are welcome! I'm thinking that as I have Sicarius my marines should be 2nd Company Ultras... but I'm damned if I'm going to be able to paint it



May try to do a very simplified version, any thoughts? Xxx

OMG YOUR ALIVE HUBBA-BUBBA-HOTEP-BUBBLE-BUBS!!!!

looking good sweet cheeks... oh and the model isnt too bad either

always push yourself, you'll never learn if you don't. So go for it with the banner!!!

Heres a suggestion, could be a complete pain in the Imperial rear or it could work. Maybe try and make a monochrome decal of that image to use as a base to paint on?

I have plenty of A4 decal paper if you need some.

Ooooh now there's an idea... lol xxx

Like I say I have loads of decal paper. I figure you could use the decal as a framework to paint over.

'evnin bubbs, all your SM so far have been all nice and clean, whats the worst thing that could happen while painting that flag! Compaired to most other flag designs that is rather simple (imho) and I think you should give it a try!

The Ultra's are lookin good! An idea for your banner would be to get your hands on some of that decal paper if you could find it (I have no idea where, but I have seen someone use that before) and scan your banner then just print off the pictures to go over top of the base coat for the banner. I've seen some very sharp banners and other idea's that people have done with that paper. Anyway just a thought

Ultras are nice as ever
Also, you better watch what you say about the Inquisition, even when quoting Sidonous.
Wanna know why?
(Spoilers about the end of 'Space Marine'!)


EDIT: Fixed the mistakes I made character-wise...

Uh dude, Sidonous takes one for the team earlier on, its Titus that gets the 'How to behave' book

Yeah, woops, haven't played the campaign in ages, and I only just remembered that then

Heheh thanks for all the input guys, really appreciate it!

Lol and don't get me started on the end of Space Marine it should be 'never trust Leandros' *grumpy* l got far too angry about that haha xxx

^ I can talk about Leandros in a sentence without cursing...

just looked at your tumblr...you went to 30seconds to mars??? lady... you scored some extra marks!!!!

and the banner bearer... why don´t you try to make a decal from that ?

oh dear, now it's gonna sound like I'm bragging... I'm actually friends with them xxx

you are???? bloody hell....i like his music... and my wife likes his looks... he can pull of an awesome show....

heheh and they're very nice people on top of all that xxx

makes it even harder... but good for you^^

pff typical Ultra Marine

xxx

oh you know im kidding!



.. or am I

"I do understand... but do I really understand?" xxx

If your throwing out a Boosh refrence, I will never make fun of your ultra marines.. ever again (for at least today)

Whoa, nice looking banner bearer Smurfette! As for the design of the banner, if you are good at free handing it, then free hand it, otherwise you could print the design onto some of that see through transfer paper and then apply it to the banner. Not sure how well it would work though

Dr Vik makes funny creatures.

The question is did Vik already know that the Vambie picture he posted existed, or did he go hunting specifically for it.

Not sure I want to know the answer to the question, and think I'll just enjoy the hilarity of it all.

I like to think of myself more as an irregular philosopher

Oh well, first comes the genesplicing, then deathrays, and then making giant monsters! Vik is on that slippery slope.

Forget Dr Stein .... He has nothing on Dr Vik

^that miss dee i see you are in the knowing ^^

and evildrcheese... lol in the words of ray cokes..."are you regular?"

oh good lord... reading through all this haha so I'm Zambie now? Well there's my halloween costume haha

Sorry about the fact I still haven't updated... I'm moving up to my new flat tomorrow, ready for my last year at uni So as soon as I'm settled in I'm sure there will be some progress!

I must say I got my Ultras out today and I miss them! And I miss you lot too I suppose xxx

thanks... I miss you too... I suppose and enjoy the move! i know i dont enjoy moving

Hope the move goes smoothly. Looking forward to seeing progress again.

I suppose

them fighting words lady... tststs...

The move has gone well!

HOWEVER...

Unlike J-Paint who has been extremely productive, I am still yet to find time to paint... I'm throwing a lot into my uni work atm and I just got a volunteer job at the British Museum which means lots more travelling etc... But I'm hoping once I've got settled into a work routine I'll be back up and running with my Ultras

Also... I'm thinking of making a test Imperial Fist model... Gonna finish my Ultras, don't worry about that but just thinking ahead xxx

well we will be waiting for that moment^^

Wow your alive.. who'da thought considering you never text me wench!!!

Huh... I haven't even started back at uni yet. It's supposedly Fresher's Week at the moment and although I haven't even been in the same city as my uni, I still managed to catch Fresher's Flu.

Bah...

Very nice work. Whatever country you're in where pretty women like 40K and DEFEND it on their Tumblr page, I need to move there!

Right... here's a reminder of my models seeing as it's been so long since I posted anything



NOW... If I want to make an Imperial Fist out of one of these guys, it's going to have to be a veteran seeing as I only have them and the apothecary left to do... or, do I buy yet more space marines? It's a tough choice... I may well buy the other set of veterans as they're such nice models... Just voicing my thoughts I was at work all day, so if I get enough uni work done tomorrow I'll reward myself with starting on my apothecary xxx

somehow i cant picture a beaky marine for ultras so do him as an imperial fist...much better suited that look for these!

and yep... i cross my fingers for you to be productive tomorrow... one thing and the other^^

I actually bought the limited edition Crimson Fist captain and plan to do him as an Imperial Fist.

Erm... well that gives me even more reason to kill him... Stupid Yellow stains...

Hello all...

Today, I've been trying out various yellows for my Imperial Fist veteran. This poor dude is a random terminator I had lying around, he's donated his body to science

It all looks terrible, but I'm thinking that the colour on the backpack might be ok when it's done all over... It doesn't look that mustard in real life I'd like to add lol. xxx

omg bubble hai! Wow you really jumped the gun here, I personaly think yellow is the hardest thing to paint good, I can say however I have seen alot of imperial fists worse then this, and yours isnt even finished! (if that helps)

Awww Roguey, you're so cute hehe thank you, you're too kind

Yeah I know, I'm not enjoying working with yellow already... but I decided I love the Imperial Fists lol xxx

yellow... always paint yellow on a white basecoat...

... if you start from black, your just asking for a headache.

I would have agreed with you, except I tried one on white and it was just tooooooo yellow, like childish yellow lol. I'll do one of each maybe and see what works better xxx

*Sigh* then your doing it wrong

to paint yellow from a white basecoat, use bestial brown > Snakebite leather > sunburst yellow > Skull white.

or whatever stupid names they are called now.

take your time, and highlight as you would normally.

In which case Miss Dee is in fact correct

... you'll never improve if you do it that way.

people who use yellow primer to get good effects arnt lazy! Just as people who use dips to make amazing models arnt lazy

Sorry But I'll agree to disagree on this one, because when you use the final colour as a primer, you get a colour which is unnatural and looks false. at lease when you start from scratch and build up the paints gradually you can see the effort put into the model. Its why I don't like airbrushes, the only time I'd condone an airbrush is for tanks. anything else is taking the easy option imo. I don't expect people to agree with my way of doing things, but you can tell the difference between what i consider the lazy way, and the proper way.

Do you use washes on your models childe? Then your cheating, why not paint all the shades by hand I understand where your coming from, and I for one dont use colored primers because as you said I dont like the result, but airbrushes I think take a degree of skill and in the end, can make amazing minis
