How about spounging

Hi Dee, yep a sponge can make good damage effects to. Although I have never really tried it so I couldn't really offer tips on that technique. I'm sure there will be some great advice on DD for using sponges though. I might look into it, have you tried it?

I have seen it done.

Cut up some sponge amd dip into paint dab off the exess and just dab it on

Hi DD gang.. well FINALLY the terminator squad is done!!! they have taken me a while but I'm super happy with the results. Thoughts and comments welcome and appreciated as always.

Me like.

More of the gang

Smile for close Up's

Band of brothers

Thanks Dee, that's very kind of you, appreciate your posts as always.

Mate, they look great!

That sergeant's shield is wonderful. The eagle is stunning. I would like to know how you do your golds.

edit: grammar :(

Hi deadmeat thanks so much for your very kind words ok here is how I do the gold for my SoM, its the same through the entire army so far and for the sergeants shield. Ok first for all metallic colours I like to paint them onto black so I paint every metallic item on the model black.

so for the gold

1 base coat the entire area that will be gold a 1:1 mix of Gehennas gold and Rhinox hide
2 then wash it with a 1:1 mix of Rhinox hide and nuln oil
3 then once fully dry, apply a mid tone of Gehennas gold to all the raised area's being carful to leave the wash shading in the deep recesses
4 then highlight with Auric Armour gold, again just applied to raised areas
5 finally apply runefang steel as a final highlight but just to the very extreme edges, tips and corners

I should say I didn't come up with this technique myself I found it in an old whitedwarf. it was in the old paint range but I have given the names of the new paints and it works very well. I really hope this helps deadmeat, its a bit time consuming but well worth the effort. I would love t know how you get on.

Nah, just 2k points to get me through the LGS's campaign. I'm actually looking forward to coming back to my Scars.

Ah, good to see more fellow Sons players on here showing their army!

I went with the green and white scheme but your marines look hand over fist much nicer. Very clean and sharp, I especially like the Termies, you did a really good job on their hammers.

Hi darkcloak, thanks for your post mate. It is indeed great to meet another SoM player on here, there are not many of us about and someone has to keep the Tyrant of Badab at bay eh?

You know what's funny. I'm going to have to convert it back to the old paint range lol. But I do believe I do something similar to the way you do it. When I paint up the Storm Shield on my Wolf Guard I'll post it up.

Sounds great deadmeat, it will be great for you to post it up here. Always good to fight along side the Sons of Russ

I have a tone more thunder hammers and storm shields if you want them

That's very kind of you but I already have a bits box that's full to bursting. I've already got to much stuff, thanks for the offer though Dee

Lol. Actually I should have said count as Wolf Lord. I run my own Homebrew Chapter that are the Sons of Dorn. I just prefer the Space Wolves Codex to the Vanilla Codex. I'll start painting him up this week.

Hi Dee, I love your Carcharodons, a great badab army. My favourite is the storm talon, it looks great in that scheme. Will you take a full army photo?

When I get space to do it.

Im thinking of giving up 40k since i have not played

I'm pleased you like the thread Kantor, if it gives you any ideas then that's really cool.

Great looking army, wonderful marines. I love Sons of Medusa. Subscribed!

Thanks Gorgrimm that's really nice of you. I loved your Aegis Guard and Badmoon threads, which are you working on at the moment? It looks like you have two great looking armies. Your Ork vehicle conversions are fantastic.

Hi DakkaDakka gang, ok so with the Termies done I figured onto the next project (or two )

Yep I decided to work on not one but two dreadies at once an Ironclad and a Venerable. They are both so similar its seemed silly to do them one by one. The pics so far are from each of them built from base coat to mid tone to highlight. I did not add a pic of them at the undercoat stage as I always undercoat in a grey primer which is so close to the colour of the plastic it is hard to see the difference. I have had these models awhile, the twin linked auto cannon on the venerable dready I painted ages ago but I will repaint it. Its a forgeworld arm that was actually given to me by Boss Drachenfels so a big thanks to him for that.

Ironclad

both basecoated

Both at mid-tone stage
