Hi just wandering when are you going to update?

WOW this is great work. The Vanguard Vets in particular look excellent, as do the lightning claws and sword blades. I'll be keeping an eye on this one!

doal!

Hello Dakka peeps! I gotta new update and with fasteddiexx1 coming over for another paint session and running to the hobby store to pick up the new issue of White Dwarf, I manage to get somethings done.
I got to finish up kost of my Sgt. TH/SS termie and my LC termie. Still some weathering and touch up jere and there but pretty much done. I also got to test out Vallejo Paint primer Black in the 60mil bottle and wow what a great paint for airbrushing. I highly recomend it for every one. My land raider turned out great for just priming.
I also based and washed my regular assault marines also. I hope to get all these guys done its been too long and cant wait to get them in a game.
Well nuff talk check it out hope you all like.

Hey greydeathone I just went through your whole post and you've got a great army in the making. Looks like you've got a good handle on the airbrush, the power weapons looks great. Keep posting your progress and as others have said, good luck with your job hunt. Since you're in the area, you should apply for a job at the infinite loop!

Cool we gotta hook up one day. I gotta get some games in and get use to 5th ed. So far my buddy anf I got a few games in at 500pts games to get a feel of it. But would be nice to get in a few with a new army.
I just been trying to get most of my guys painted up so they are all not gray troops on the table.

Ok my Dakka friends sorry it's been a while, as some of you know I had a commission for a squad of Red Corsairs and Huron. Ok nuff about chaos traitors I am back on the rock and working on my Deathwing and hopefully start assembling my Ravenwing .
Ok here is my quick update.

lookin pretty good. did you cut the back of the hood for your Belial so it would fit the termi?

WarPetrie wrote:lookin pretty good. did you cut the back of the hood for your Belial so it would fit the termi?

Yea alot of filing on the backside of the head and test fitting. I wish GW will go to true scale soon. The heads seem to vary in scale and compared to the helmet the head is too small.

ok smaller update here is my progress,I a highlighted the head and started detailing Belial and the thunder hammer termie. But man got lots of touch ups.

Ok another smaller update Belial is about 85% done. I need to do touch ups, highlights and details.
I am trying to complete the five terminators by the end of the week so I can start on my Ravenwing
well enjoy dakka peeps.

Nice fainally your back onto dark angels!
how do you do your lighting claws?

HAZZER wrote:Nice fainally your back onto dark angels!

Yup back on the rock and manufacturing DA again .
As for the the lightning claws its a 3 step process. Brush GW enchanted blue, then airbrush GW ice blue half way blending it. Then the final step is using Vallejo air white on the tip blending it into the ice blue.
Airbrushing is easier then wet blending in my opinion. The downside with airbrushing is the prep work but pays off in the end.
Good luck and let me know if you got more questions.

Dark Angels again. Well, I suppose it couldn't be helped.

How's that whole "search for the Fallen" thing going? Ha.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work, even if it is wasted on lapdogs of the Imperium.

Skalk buddy ol pal. Yea back on the imperium side again. Did you see my other thread on he Red Corsairs? That should make you proud. Here you go if you have not seen the updated and completed project. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/358034.page

I did see that, was bummed it was a commission job. I was hoping that you'd seen the truth about the Emperor and I think that for you nothing could have been more fitting than joining the Red Corsairs.


how's fasteddiexx1 doing? Tell him I said "DEATH TO THE FALSE EMP..". wait... I mean "hi".

SKALK!!! BROTHER!!!! How does the blood flow? eeerrrmmm.. well in your case the pustular blisters?

GreyDeathOne wrote:Ok here is another update. I have placed my first 2 base colors and building up from dark to light. I used Vallejo Air black then GW Graveyard Earth and then Vallejo Model Iraqi Sand at a 40 degree angle to get that lighting effect. All using my airbrush. I will brush in washes and detail but I am taking more time on this squad and want them to come out better then the last. Hope you like the progress.

So, let me get this right.

- Black Primer
- Graveyard Earth Basecoat
- Iraqi Sand Zenithal Layer
- Wash

And that's it? Up until what we see in those pictures? I know there's some brush highlighting afterwards, right?

Also, what wash do you use?

Well I am too I love the Huron paint job and the whole story line on him. Well as for Fasteddie well typical evil chaos folks he is always around the corner since he already answered
As for me still unemployed but kinda like the more time to myself at the moment. I was all stressed but settled down and being Mr. Mom at the moment.

Exactly! The wash I use is GW Gryphon Sephia which is just right of a shade for me and not to dark. Remember if you apply too much wash just go over it again with Iraqi Sand and pick a light source point where the light is coming from. For a better understanding go to Massive Voodoo
this is a great site and this is where I have been learning my techniques from.
http://massivevoodoo.blogspot.com/2009/10/tutorial-overview.html

Then you can start detailing your figure ! Sorry for the late response.

Great, thanks for that, mate. Mind fi I use this technique myself?

Popsicle no problem brother it's all yours lol ! Man if we had youtube or the internet 27 years ago I would be a Michael Angelo . And anything to help anybody out that is what I am here for and I love to share what I learned with this community.
Enjoy brother!

Hey, gery death one
How about when you have finshed you dark angles you make some of the fallen?That would look great and what about doing an army shot?

Hello dakka peeps here is another update and this time I am done with my Deathwing.
I will weather the last 5 guys on my spare time while I work on my venerable drednought which I been ignoring since I started this last squad of terminates . I am not to happy with the paint job but will work with it. Friday night I had a paint session at fasteddiexx1's apartment and got some of my squad done there along with a pint or two to steady our hands . Anywho here you guys go, and let me know what you guys think.

Sweet!

HAZZER are you asking how I do my swords? If so it is the same process but originally I used the chrome look using black,blue, and white. But now I will use white, ice blue, and enchanted blue.
For reference go to Les Bursley YouTube channel and look at the space wolf episode or buypainted channel.
Good luck.

Damn- It's been way too long since I've been back! Crazy-ass grad finals were sucking up all of my time.

Dude, that is awesome you guys can actually paint together. Whenever my younger cousin and his friends try and do that, it just degenerates into a drinking fest... lol...

That, and I've got way too many tools to shuttle there and back.

Question- yours is kindofa version of Zenithal lighting, no? Everything up to the black starting color...

And question#2- for your Corsairs, you're using Vallejo Model Air Red, right? Kind of a wierd question, but what kind of a red is it- a colder more blue/purple red or a warmer orange-red?

I'm trying to figure out how to base coat my PH Thousand Sons using my airbrush and (possible) zenithal lighting.
