Skalk Bloodaxe wrote:Wow. I am constantly impressed by your airbrush skills. The Lightning Claws on your Sgt.Terminator are stunning and truly convey an aura of swirling power.

I do have to note that I take issue with the "decoration" you've chosen for the base.

At least it isn't

ha

Thanks Skalk, yea the Khorne CSM helmet is just to taunt FasteddieXX1 since he is a Khorne head. I even paint Ultra Marines paint themes on my terrian pieces like the GW tree,crater, rhino thing and the barriers where the SM bike is all bashed up. I paint it blue just to get under his skin! Fasteddie and I been painting off and on since RT days in the 80's.
I know once he starts his CSM guys he will mos def paint a bunch of DA guys on his guys. I believe he might add a DA marine torn in half or a body pile of DA's as base for his new plastic demon!! .
So Skalk did you do it? Did you buy a airbrush yet?

ceorron wrote:OMG those are b-a-e-utiful. Some exceptional painting i must admit. Great bases too. Must watch.

Thank you ceorron for the compliment. I try to improve and refine my style as I build my force. I am currently working on Belial and several of my other DW and the last Vang Vet. Marine. I will keep everyone posted soon.

Ahh, i have missed alot of good updates whilst my nets been down, where to start lol

The pred looks awesome, like the weathering, the terminators are looking good as always and i think that the air brushing on the l-claws looks good. im still torn between doing a green power weapon look to mine or metal though.

your belial is looking nice, i love that terminator captain and nearly used it as the basis for mine.

Have you started on your fw marines yet? ( dont know if you have mentioned it but i was mainly looking at the pictures lol )

keep up the good work

CL thanks and feeling the urge to start on them and open the bag and start assembling. But I promise I will let you know and do a detail blog on those MKIII's. Fasteddiexx1 agreed to trade 2 Heresey armour ones I got for him for his Bday. So you will notice that once I start.

Well got a tiny update on my DA's. I been detailing Belial and seem to salvage the paint mistake I did and looks good so far but let me know what you guys think. I did some experimetal wet blending and wow that can get frustrating. Several times I felt like throwing him in my Tau box of shame !! I also AB the power sword on my last Vang. Vet Assault marine and glued his arm on. This was not fun and also after detailing his chest area now its all covered up by his arms.
Well I got a new cell phone a Samsung Galaxy S and with 5mp camera it was a big upgrade from my G1.
Well enjoy and let me know what you think!

OK I needed a break from the green and bone white and was browsing the dakka forums and I saw the Deathwatch contest and then checked out the video about the game and saw a great picture of a DA assault marine in the book. I then was inspired. OK lets make a DW DA but not a assault troop bit a tactical marine instead and almost the same pose.
So I rummage through my bits box and started to build.
I had "fun"time (not really more like frustrated) super glueing the legs to a rock and no go. Even hairdrying the glue and nope. So I pinned it. So here is what it looks like at the moment.
Let me know your thoughts.

id take that down if your entering it mate, your not allowed to put pics of your entry up anywhere lol, just a heads up

Nay not entering that contest. I don't believe I'm that good yet. but can't wait to see all the entries.

nice pose dude! check page 24 of the DA codex, the robed assault marine to the left of the picture is what i want to make sometime.

anyway this guys gonna look great painted can't wait =D

Thanks Dark6specre also can't wait to see your marine. I will post more progress on him. I am going to use VMC gun metal blue as the base and see how that comes out. Trying to go for that different look instead the standard way. . Think outside the box and experiment.

Ok everyone I been busy with work and preparing my oldest daughters 21st birthday party. But manage to squeeze in some time today. I was all over the place. I was working on my DA Deathwatch Sgt. And my terminators.
My Deathwatch Sgt. I used a VMC Gun metal blue and well came out a bit bright. So i washed him in Badab black. Well still not happy but will work on him. I also worked on Belial and still a little slow in progress so I jumped on my cyclone missle launcher termie and its moving along.
I also forgot to show you all my new toy I got last weekend.
I gave in and bought a Ravenwing squadron box set
ok nuff blabbin here is my update .

No, haven't even looked at airbrushes yet. I don't see one in my immediate future but it is still something I'd like to try. Hopefully one of my friends will buy one and I'm try ruining something with theirs instead.

You work is amazing. Every time I come here the updates slack my jaw. Nice new camera, btw.

Huzzah! Ravenwing FTW! going to look great them models!

Skalk thanks and well when I decide to get another airbrush I will hit you up before I sell it and will get you a real good deal (not free but good) so you will get a PM when I do

dark6spectre thanks I was like a school kid all over again when I got it last week and my wife just rolled her eyes when fasteddiexx1 and I came back with our new troops !!! Can't wait to start on all these new models I got, especially my FW Mklll marines.
But gotta stay focus and grind away on the current stuff on my desk

Bound and determined to induct me into your airbrush cult I see. Ok. I'm game. Keep me in mind and we'll work out something decent.

I am loving this thread!

Skalk yes give in to the darkside soon you will be a chaos champion with a airbrush as your mighty weapon given to you by the gods of the warp!

CKO thanks I am glad you looked into my thread. Are you a DA fan?

No, I am more of a Black Templar and Space Wolf fan. I am playing a game tommorrow using my friends models, its the all termie troop army!

This thread is so great! Love your DA!

Nice I love players that play non codex marines. Let me know how your game went.

TristanGray and brother_camael thank you for subscribing to my thread.

Well everyone it was another busy week at work and weekend with my youngest daughters birthday. But I manage to get a short paint session with Fasteddiexx1 and $NightBringer$ last night and I was working on 3 models and get them completed by the end of this weekend. Well between BBQ'ing and my desk I did'nt get as far as I wanted to.
Also this morning woke up with a migrane I was in no mood to paint.
So hear is what progress I got done so far, I finally mounted the jump pack on my vet assault marine, detail on my CML termie, and detail on Belial plus trying a new tecnique on his powersword.
Let me know what you guys think.
Enjoy.

I always love a good dark angels themed project log, and so far you've done nothing but good. I love your stuff!

Belial is looking good, he is supposed to have an obsidion sword though, are you doing your own thing with it? ( not being a fluff nazi lol, just asking ) any chance of an army shot so far?

Calibanite Lion wrote:Belial is looking good, he is supposed to have an obsidion sword though

So is Azrael but even 'eavy metal painters don't paint him that way, lol.

GDO I'm sorry to say im not a fan of the sword, for me the transition is too quick, it just seem to have the natural element that your other blades did.

wow impressive stuff here

Calibanite Lion wrote:Belial is looking good, he is supposed to have an obsidion sword though, are you doing your own thing with it? ( not being a fluff nazi lol, just asking ) any chance of an army shot so far?

Thanks CL. Yea I was experimenting and yea they are obsidian blades. Its just a bit bland black and anyways I was not that happy how it came out. So after thinking about and browsing the gallery I decided to go what I have been doing but use shades of grays instead of blue like my other blades. So it will be black, gray and white.
Thanks for the imput it did help swade me to change it up.

Lennysmash thanks man!! Yea its true alot of people paint the swords different. I was trying to be original. I was searching a Mike McVey paint job he did on a variant he did on Azrael. Its not the one in the old codex but one that was in WD.
To bad I did not keep all my WD in the 90's

GDO I'm sorry to say im not a fan of the sword, for me the transition is too quick, it just seem to have the natural element that your other blades did.

Me too lol. Stay tune for part 2.

Thanks Xyon. I hope to finish more soon so stay tuned.

cool, you started any of your fw marines yet?

How are you painting the Deathwing? You are getting a really nice shade, Its really good. I love your power swords as well...you can pass that trick on also if you'd like

Calibanite Lion wrote:cool, you started any of your fw marines yet?

Soon my brother soon. I know I just traded fasteddiexx1 2 Heresey patterns for two of my MKlll models. So stay tune.

Imperial Monkey wrote:How are you painting the Deathwing? You are getting a really nice shade, Its really good. I love your power swords as well...you can pass that trick on also if you'd like

Imperial Monkey I black prime then use VMC Iraqi Sand then wash with GW Gryphon Sephia then and what ever angle use VMC Iraqi Sand to get the highlight. All using a airbrush.
As for the powersword I learned it from Les Bursly from APG here is the link http://www.youtube.com/user/awesomepaintjob?blend=2&ob=4#p/u/8/AImKoB10ans.
Hit me up on PM if you need more details I am always glad to share my technique.

These Models look 150% more awesome in RL, the camera seems to pale it out a lot. So we'll have to work on putting together a little photo booth maybe?

fasteddiexx1 wrote:These Models look 150% more awesome in RL, the camera seems to pale it out a lot. So we'll have to work on putting together a little photo booth maybe?

Thanks brother! Well you did have front row seat of most of my models creation

Oi wanna do another paint session this weekend? Let me know.

Ok this weekend was full of distracions. Saturday was the 24hrs of Daytona racing on TV, and catching up on my DVR of my other racing series. I manage to squeeze in some painting after they took a break from the Daytona race for a few hours and sat at my desk upset at my self for not being that motivated.
So I looked at Belial and carefully stripped the away the first job done on the sword and started prepping it.
I decided to do the normal way I have doing some of my power sword but use gray black and white. Well it came out ok could be better but would like some imput.
I also finally finished my last veteran assault guy(whew).
Then looked at my termies stairing at me saying finish me finish me. so I started to give its first base layer on all of them using VA light brown using my airbrush.
I forgot to take some pictures but hey when your in the zone your in the zone.
I have been taking my photos using my Samsung Galaxy S phone and was wondering why some pics come out dark and some ok. Then I played with the settings and set it to 400iso and helped out.
Ok nuff rambling here is my small progress and let me know what you guys think ( CalibaniteLion ).
