Um...

Its all gone a bit pete tong...

The forces of chaos manifest in blingees!

how to but my picture in the blingee and how to save it pictures



A bit tame in comparison! My pic was way too small!

Now that's actually quite tasteful

Ahh, I seem to have stepped into an alternate dimension and discovered Ifalna's commission blogobling.

Those are some truly...(umm, not really sure what)..pictures

You know, if Snoop approves then you gotta go with it.

And I was cracking up so hard at the eyes on yours weety I didn't even notice the headlights at first. Old-skool bling FTW!


I agree yours is quite tasteful Reaper - except the part where his eyeball's been ripped out through the side of his face

Y'know, i went through about 40 pages of awesomeness, and I must say that this made me laugh until I couldn't breathe.

Seriously. I think I developed asthma from this post alone. I'm wheezing.

As for the actual painting...like I said, this whole thread is filled with awesome. When i'm not stupid-poor anymore I'm going to get a Scibor mini for you to paint for me.

Nice article wish it was around 5 years ago when I started instead I tried copying all the eavy' metal articles and models, probably not the greatest way to start when you dont know any of the basics

thats what i notices at first

Space Wolves, eh? And how've you managed to get hold of primer, given the postal service embago? Or is it just a case of the new town having somewhere that sells pigment suspended in liquid?

She runs the black market of primer!

0000OOOooooOOO0000 im teeeellinn!

Oh my GOD.

THOSE HEADLAMPS!!

I am so proud of what this thread has become, I am so proud of you all. I am crying Ifalna tears of internet joy. <3 you all for realz.
Horrible storm weather and a migraine attack left me crapily housebound yesterday, but today I got all the final airbrush layer + seal on some wolves, + got their metal bases down.

Look at these dynamic gaks. Oh liquid gold, how messy you are.

Click for big!




Tomorrow is weathering, so they will be filthy and rust streaked like the other wolves they are going to be teamed with. Will post updates then. Such lovely models..
Also finally getting some primer tomorrow. I wish I was some kind of primer smuggling baroness! I would rule the primer roost, I would have all of Ireland in my fierce, painty grip.

Les Bursley of Awesome Paintjob fame gave me some great advice on a very good recording camera to get so I can do video tutorials, I should be getting it next month How exciting!

Then again I am assuming people will actually watch me swearing at a mini for 3 hours, we will have to wait and see.

those are some handsome puppies you got there Iff, where did you get the sheild on the leftmost wolf?

The models themselves arent mine, but I can ask the owner if you like? I think it's a door (?) with a metal detail added on. It is HUGE.

nah, its fine.. just trying to add anything besides, looking great so far.. seeing as there really isnt anything bad to say about em

Pretty sure its one of these with SW icon on top and gubbinz behind:

appears so there vitruvian

So this is the sordid nest from wich all this bling strewn over the forums have crawled forth! Such a wretched hive of scum and villanry!
I'll just sit in a corner and watch the madness spiral out of control over here then and doodle on my new tank schematics.. popcorn anyone?

You realise you can never get out now, right?

What did you to make the gold on those Space Wolves?

Gaelic swearing, or English swearing?

poipo32 - The gold Ifalna uses is Vallejo Liquid Gold, IIRC, which is both very shiny and rather messy...

Ah, the gold! it's blinding me!!! Ahhhhhh!

That is some serious Space Wolf bling.

If the swearing's inventive enough we'll watch

'Ooh that was a good one.'
'Hey not heard that before'
'What the..is that a swear? Pass the popcorn'


And I see you're putting the puppies through Blingee too

I'm starting on weathering them now, so they should look very different in the next shots ;D

I feel great remorse for the terrible bling-tide my sparkly splash seems to have wrought, but at the same time I am awed by the creativity of my lovely Dakka friends.

Never, ever.

poipo32 wrote:What did you to make the gold on those Space Wolves?

As Dysartes said, that is Vallejo liquid oldgold. Extremely messy so it kind of needs to be added in the early stages so you can clean up, but when applied correctly is as shiney as gold leaf. Awesome stuff, but messy. Very very messy.

Gaelic swearing is pretty awful, but my English swearing skills are extraordinary if I do say so myself. /flips hair back

I'm loving these for sure and I can;t wait to see the weathering!... but I may have already told you on FB lol.

Seeing how you did the shading on the black has pretty much sealed the deal on how I will be doing it for my Black Legion. Now I just have to come up with a good paint mix to make a nice dark grey/blue

Also, great beginners article! Many beginners won't realise that it doesn't get much more complicate dthan that to make an amazing finish it just takes better brush control and more creative colour pallets

Haha, their weathering is coming along lovely. Just taking a break now while the HALF POT of mud I used painting on all their filth dries off, then Im starting rust streaks with brown ink. Once that is done I will post pics, the mud weathering is surprisingly subtle till it has rust and then is finished off with badab..

Thanks for the comment on the article, I am happy people like it as I really had no idea what I was doing and just tried to get everything useful I could think of jotted down in it >< I will definitely be putting up more as I go, and hopefully video tutorials by April!

I caved and did a GW order for primer and washes. I realised that I have to restock on washes which would mean finding a hobby shop and asking them to order it in.. so screw it, I availed of the free GW shipping (which won't be stopped by that stupid no liquids law as it is not "domestic" post like it would be with Ebay purchases) and got everything I need + a unit of Vampire knights skeletons for my partner. He wants to start painting and over the next month will have the time to finally try it out properly yay.

I still cannot believe how much wash this dread used up...


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ok so, heres how far I got tonight. Super quick shots as I really need to sleep.. sorry!





Devlin mud wear added, rust drips added, black slash and burn marks added which will have silver metal sheen on top to mimic paint chipped, generally just 10 times dirtier.

Couple layers more badab and mud to go. Once thats all done, its onto his metal highlight layers, and glow effects. I leave all the bone/fur till last.



The boys so far, rust ink finished on 2, 2 still to go, then its paint damage/metal effects and some final badab+Mud layers. Skin last on these dudes, which is rare for me.

Some shots of that gorgeous shield and shoulder mini -





All shoulders will have the same freehanding and power effect as on the original one of these dudes I painted as the base -



Trying to convince the owner to let me base them with pure white snow effect + the odd blood spatters. I think they are totally dirty enough to clash really nicely with it.

How do you get your gold to look like that?

wow, i like it alot, i really love his face

Wow, the golds and the weathering are wonderful.

It's almost a shame that the SW have that yellow shoulder pad. I know it's their signature look but it siphons off some of the energy from the gold.
