Wow! Those adjustments to your phone really made a different with the pictures. I love the monochrome effect on Belial's sword. And your vets came out great!

yes yes and yes, Belial's sword is a hundred times better. Only thing I'd say is maybe choose a more contrasting colour for the hilt, perhaps a copper or bronze.

your work is crap...




joke dude your belial sword is AMAZING, a really cool way to do PW differently. Great to see some more progress from you, keep it going, don't let those stupid men in cars on a tarmac track distract you. remember, 40k is the most important thing in the world!
(joking steak pies are!)

Hey, good progress. I really like the sword it looks pretty awesome!, I am currently making a proper belial conversion and would love to try that but i dont have an airbrush :( I have been messing with my LR today, cant get in the mood to do more termies yet.

Thanks guys for the imput. If it was'nt for your imput (CL and Lenny) I would've settled I think . D6S still waiting for more of your freehand work and more squads completed so get snapping !!! Lenny thanks to your sig I signed up at 40knation. CL yea motivation can be a big factor at times but your work amazes me and makes me jealous you went old school. but find some motivation and keep bringing us fantastic work and btw no have not started my FW marines yet
Fasteddiexx1 we gotta hook up for a game soon!!!

Hopefully I can squeeze in some painting with my termies and get my first hightlight and wash in on them. Since the new FAQ came out for the DA it's been a big motivation. I been looking at my Landraider and my FW MKlll marines as motivation so I can finish my guys ready for the board. I have a habbit of making my guys to detailed which is not a bad thing but just want to get some tabletop quality and not some master piece that I would be so worried about my marines more then the objective of the game .
Ok guys thanks again and looking forward to some of your work also.

Haha, I saw your name on the posts list today. Didn't realise it was because of the sig. If you chat to Cran he'll sort you out with a sig I'm sure. Glad you joined the community mate, its new so response take time but hopefully it will grow.

i can't GDO! i have so much school work to do. but be ready for some updates by saturday, i might get those bikes assembled and some more test models.
*also i'm going to start a cross-over chapter which could be used for vanilla codex, no spoilers yet!*

but for the moment i want to see some more of your airbrush work, its looking great! may i ask if you even highlight them? because they look great without much colour change at all.

Such brilliant talent wasted on lapdogs of the Emperor. *sigh*

I'm impressed not only by the quality of your work, but by the commitment to put that same level of effort into every model in your army. Your force will be amazing on the tabletop and display case. My only lament is that I live too far away to crush it into darkness.

Wow! this thread still amazes me everytime I check it out. Really liking the Vets and Belial looks really cool.

Well D6S school is important dont forget that! Also cant wait to see those too. Do you have a test model or idea how your going to do the vanilla marines?

Skalk not all talent wasted on the emperor. Look what I was working on when I started this thread .
And yes my brother I would love one day to cleanse your army and make you repent your sins to the mighty Emperor!!!

DemonEater thanks for the positive compliment.

...

I stand corrected. MOST of that talent wasted on the lapdogs of the Emperor.

Wow. That is stunning. Dark, angry, and hateful. That's one of the best Huron models I've seen, and I wouldn't just say that. 30% complete? What's it going to look like when it is done???

Yeah, I totally thought it was done when I picked it up to look at it... (flashback) *musta been when he went in house to get me water and I sneezed and flew it across the garage and landed on the tool chest?*

actually there's a bit of paint missing off his backside eh?

Did not know my jaw could drop that far when I saw those power swords.

I gotta chime in and say that I love your models and Belial's sword looks amazing

GDO that remains to be seen, its a secret! (i.e. no i havn't done a test model yet, but i have a plan on what i'm going to do.)

on-topic great model, nice grimdark. has it been airbrushed aswell or was it a paintbrush-job?

Ahh saw your thread on the bikes and some of the troops can't wait to see what it looks like painted. As for Huron I only airbrushed the primer and black base.

Huron looks really nice mate, will be spot on if you ever get to finish him now that you have the 1st legion bug

thanks CL I started him a while back when I did this thread to basically change up my painting green. I was working on my tactical guys and the orks that came with the AOBR box and got burnt out. So I picked up Huron cause he was such a cool sculpt. I enjoyed him too much and looked like a heretic painting him in front of my DA so I placed him in stasis with the orcs till I finish all of my DA.
He was only primed with my airbrush but the rest by normal brush. I hope to finish him and show him off soon but with my LR and FW marines and RW boxes looking at me it might be a while till he see' s light again.
Hey when are going to see a update? I am looking for the next episode of the CL Channel.

I might get at some stuff tomorrow, had some major RL issues latley.

Nah understand brother. Life can slow our hobby or help escape it for a bit. Hang in there and handle what ever is bothering you and will be patient till you post your DA.

As for my self I am trying to squeeze some painting time in be for the UFC fight tonight. I am prepping to do my second base color of VA Iraqi sand and wash it with Gryphonne Sephia. Then my final highlight with VA Iraqi sand.
I will post some pics after the fight for you all if not tomorrow with some details after the highlights.

Ok after the UFC fight last night I was so bummed out that Anderson did a front snap kick to Vitors head and knocked him out in the first round!!!?! I decided to have several more glasses of my fine scotch. Then I was not in the mood to paint.
Well anywho this morning got back on my horse and did my first highlight on my termies. I used a 50/50 mix with VA White and VMC Iraqi sand and windex to smooth it out.
Also someone PM'd me (he wanted me to stay un named) and wanted me to see my desk set up and what I have.
So first off I got my desk several years back at Ikea on sale its a pc desk and come in two sizes I got the larger one and the smaller one is about a foot shorter. I also got my chair there.
Take a look at the picture below and dont mind my mess.
All of this is in my garage which my wife calls the man cave.

Real nice progress GDO, looking forward to seeing these guys completed. Also looking forward to your black recipe for the RW. I'm starting BT myself so it will be interesting when you begin to paint those little beauties up.

Nice stack of minis btw way, I don't think I'm far behind you myself, I eve have a Stormraven coming and they're not even legal in my list yet. lol

Lenny thanks, I'm too trying to get these done. It's been too long and wish I was in High School again with no worries. But when your 40 you gotta make time and that can be hard too ! As for my recipe for my RW if your talking about black paint recipe I am going to copy Brother Argos's Iron Hands style. Hands down that man made black look even cooler then normal. When he added the weathering to it, I could imagine my RW the same way relentlessly looking for the fallen not caring bout Machine God beating up thier armour.
So take alook at Brother Argos's thread and you too will be a big fan!
Stormraven is sorta growing on me I call it the midgethawk but I don't see it being legal for any other marine chapter (bad marketing on GW). Hope to see your WIP soon.

Great thread, and good work on the deathwing, awesome models and loving the swords!!!

It'll be legal as soon as Codex DH is released in April as an ally. But to be honest that wont stop people adding them to their forces I mean just look at the LR Crusader, when it first came out it was BT only, even the fluff stated that it was developed by the BT specifically, then wouldn't you know it an errata makes it legal for all.

Brother Argos, I second that, been a fan since he began that thread really great work. Got the idea to drill the backs of ML from his thread, can't think why I never thought of it before to be honest.

As for trying to make time, I agree. Its no small coincidence that I've improved as a painter since I returned to education. I was a chef for 9years and that really screws with your leisure time, let me tell you, lol.

Come On! i want to so see those bikes assembled and the tank! lets move it!

how many termies are you going to collect? are you going towards a deathwing/ravenwing army thing?

dark6spectre wrote:Come On! i want to so see those bikes assembled and the tank! lets move it!

Yea I need to get a hustle on it cause with my DW and assault marines and the pace I been going it will be summer soon ! Yes as for the DW army yea I am going that route but just adding a variety of options for different games.
Maybe once I prime my 5 assault marines I will start assembling my RW or LR.

The termis need a raider to roll in. Though the built in locater beacons on the bikes are good too.

really nice lookin deathwing you go there ^_^
thanks for the chart too, i'll be needing that once i start to use Vallejo and finaly stop using GW paint....

cant wait to see whats next ^_^

oh how did you do the weathering on the pred? was it grey paints with some black and silver?

Guys and gals sorry been stasis for a bit, too many family events been happening, my great aunt who was a 100yrs old passed, relatives/friends birthday parties and my nephew's first ameteur MMA fight and work....uggh!!! !! Also it's been pretty cold in NorCal so my garage has not been to hospitable for painting. But I promise to get back on my attack bike and start rolling soon.
Thanks to all who still view my thread wow thats alot of views for little posting.

Yup as seen in earlier posting the LR and RW is ready to be assembled soon. I just gotta finish my DW.

WarPetrie thanks for tuning in! Let me know if you have any other questions on the Vallejo paints regarding your DW and as for weathering I use basic chaos black and then silver. The mud effects are Vallejo pigments using Vallejo matte varnish and gloss varnish with water and then go crazy. The pigments will be a wet muddy look and then dry. If you are looking for a wetter look use gloss varnish or floor wax like Mop and Glow. This will dry with a gloss look to the mud.

Ok fans and friends will get snapping and I just wanted to let everyone know I am still kicking and was'nt eaten up by a feral squig!
