Anybody interested in my Ultramarine Vet with Heavy Flamer Conversion? I decieded not to post up the blood angels commander, as he has inspiered me to create my own force.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Tiny, I really like yours and agree with Git on what he said for C&C.

Your marine was finished last night, I'll go get pics.

OK, given that... You could consider gold and white? That would be striking and would not have the issue of conflicting metals. Golds are pretty easy to make to a decent standard... start with the darker gold (burnished?), then a lighter gold (shining?) highlight. Wash with sepia (or chestnut), then a light shining gold highlight. Makes a pretty convincing gold with a lot of depth.

If you want to stick with the silver, don't wash w/ the light blue, go with a dilute badab black. The blue of the wash dilutes the impact of the eyes & makes them look like a mistake or unfinished area.

i agree with this, try out a white it will look more like yr pic and will contras well

Did he survive the trip OK, and did he meet your expectations?

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Yeah, no breakages. What color eyes is he supposed to have?

**porkuslime**

I seem to remember using Ice Blue GW paint, with a Dev Mud wash over the mini

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Then I will paint them on when Im home

**porkuslime**

Wait.. are you talking about the miniature I sent you, or the one you are sending me? If it is the one you are sending me.. I don't care! Whatever fits.

However, if you are thinking the one I mailed you.. I think the blue should be visible.. no?

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Your marine you sent me. He has one eye painted grey, the other is helmet colored

**porkuslime**

Bummer. I think the Grey is the blue with the mud wash over it...

Sorry about that..

**gretar**

porkuslime wrote:Bummer. I think the Grey is the blue with the mud wash over it...

That might very well be. I was once painting an ultramarine and used an Ice Blue for an edge highlight. Then I washed the whole model with Sepia and it looked likeI had used Fortress Grey or something to edge highlight the guy..

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Oh well. I don't mind.

**jackanory**

How long do people think this whole thing will last? I wouldn't mind joining in when I've got my marines up and running...

**whalemusic360**

The more people that join in the longer it will last. I've slowed down a bit, but plan on hitting as many people as want my stuff.

**CaragaraPDF**

Today i am going to my Local GW to start work on 6 guardsmen for battle Brother Lucifer
