Please to have White recipe? Pleaaaaaase?

This has been annoying me for the entirety of this thread, but how do you get the black in the cracks so well?

All of your models absolutely blow me away, consider me subbed

I paint around them.

Tho recently I have been using shading with washes more then black lining, in order to speed up painting

Sure I'll post up the foruma later today.
Which white do you want?
The apothacary's armor, or the white on the wings?

I just want to know where you learned to paint. If I could achieve this level of perfectness on my figures I would be pretty damn happy.

Practice, read white dwarf articles, experimentation.

I found some pics of one of my older models. A Falcon for my homebrew Eldar army I made a while back.

Can't remember exactly when but somewhere around 2002-2004?

You certainly have improved since back then eh? I mean that Falcon is perfectly Dreadful in appearance, like you just dipped it into a can of paint and called it done.

Armour would be appreciated, after attempting a White Scars army, ive been left with a crippling phobia of painting white

it is actually pretty good

i have watched your tread both in dakka and in B&C and you are probably one of the best painters i have ever seen role player

Thats still pretty awesome RP!!

@ Devastator: Im fairly certain he was being sarcastic, it even says so in his sig!!

I would never use my method on an entire army if I valued my sanity.e.
Hard enough on just the 3 priest I intend to us

but anyway it is this,

Chaos Black Undercoat.
50/50 Graveyard earth/Space Wolf Grey. About 3-4 coats to get this smooth.
45/45/10 Graveyard Earth/Space Wolf Grey/Skull White. about 3 coats to get smooth.
35/35/30 Same as above, leaving the recess a bit to show the dark coat in armor joints, again about 3 coats.
20/20/60 above, again 3 coats, again leaving recesses.
10/10/80 same as above, this one took me 4 thin coats.

Pure skull white for highlights, shade some places with chardon granite.

Thats the formula I used for the priest's armor

Much obliged!

Incredible work! Yeah I agree that the above recipe would drive anyone crazy trying to paint a whole army that way
Keep up the awesome painting!!

Thanks for all the great comments guys!

Tho i ahve one small request.

If people could be careful to check what I write and keep my two armies seperate in their minds.

There's the Blood RAVENS and the Blood ANGELS.



Its not a big deal, just an artists' request

Lord Octavian of the Blood Ravens, counts as Marneus Calgar.

Beautiful. Good work stomping on all the Ultramarines iconography.

How.............too good.............

Wow, I always wanted to see a marnius calgar conversion with a helmet. It looks really good.

Impressive use of the chapions sword in scabard from the woc kit to replace calgars original sword.

I love it. I don't however love the horrible jealousy I now feel at your painting. For it has been renewed with this new model.

Why did you go with a red helmet when the rest of your terminators are bone helms?

Astelan wrote:Why did you go with a red helmet when the rest of your terminators are bone helms?

Bone helm is 1st company and Veteran Sgts.
he's Captain of the 6th, therefore not 1st company and therefore not wearing a bone helmet. hence red.

how easy was it to shave off all the Ultrasmurf icons?

Not too hard.

No rest for the wicked, next Guard WIP.

Jesus, Roleplayer, and here I was, feeling good about my Sang Guard.

What ever happened to your Warmachine stuff? Already get bored and move on from that game?

Aduro wrote:What ever happened to your Warmachine stuff? Already get bored and move on from that game?

I only have the ability to paint so many things at once.

And I have yet to actually play a game of warmachine.

Wait, wasn't your Calgar conversion going to be your chapter master? If he's not, do you have any plans as to who's to fill his boots?
