Khrangar Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Greetings, I may or may not have mentioned this previously, but I have decided to start a Mk5 army of Angels of Vigilance (see avatar for scheme). It's not much to start off but I hope this will grow as I get more work on the army done. Here is the first of the marines that I have (almost) completed. He'll be a sergeant for a tactical squad and is based off the test scheme model I painted up earlier. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/tst.jpg I've been thinking about what to do with the other pad, and I think I'll just make it a normal pad with the edging even though the mk5 didn't have it. This is basically to make it easier for me and so that I can paint the company colour around the edging if I so choose. Also, the head isn't glued down so I can position it better if need be. The left arm isn't quite right but I think it'll do for a sergeant and he'll blend in to the unit/army once I get more stuff assembled. Thanks for looking.

Spiny Norman Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Looking good so far! Where's the tabbard bit from please? Is that one of the skaven cloaks?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 It is indeed. They're great things, I've got one more that I'll use on something down the line. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durus Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yep, that's a nice build. Though I've always thought the AoV were a DA succesor? I expected them to be using the DA company markings. (This way you could put an even more fluffy trimless pad on his shoulder :) ) If you are going with the standard markings, 5th company would be the way to go, i think (black trims). Looking forward to see some progress I like yellow marines! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Norman Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It is indeed. They're great things, I've got one more that I'll use on something down the line. Khrangar It looks pretty much "as it comes" ie. you've not cut it to fit, etc. Is that right? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 I cut a bit off the bottom of it and the tabs where it would normally attach to the back, but other than that, it's as is. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 I've finished the test model for the Mk5 army and here he is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/test1-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/test2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/test3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/test4.jpg More to come soon I hope.

Moribund the Burgermeister Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Mmmm, that's a beautiful shade of yellow. How did you paint it? :) Axel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 I've taken some shots of a couple colours of seals. The first is the same green as before: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/seal.jpg The second is a darker red: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/seall.jpg I'm not sure which one I like better. The yellow is as follows: Basecoat Bestial Brown, 2-3 layers of Iyanden Darksun, 1:1 or so Iyanden Darksun and Bestial Brown way watered down to an ink like consistancy over top. Highlights with Iyanden Darksun and Bleached Bone. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Changed the purple and green to blue and red: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/temp2.jpg Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durus Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The yellow with either the red or green looks fine. But the coloured cabling makes him look to colourful, as you have red, yellow and blue all at once on him. As it is now you have all the primary colours next to each other. I think you need to limit your palette a bit. You could use yellow, green and blue next to each other without problem. Let go of one of the colours and he will look great.

Khrangar Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Got some more done on a 2nd model: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Mark%205/ww1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Mark%205/ww2.jpg Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 It's happened and I knew it would. I've hit a snag and have lost most of the urge to paint these guys any more. I need to come up with a consistant colour for the wash over the armour and I can't seem to make one. I've been painting the head of the 2nd test marine and it's a shade off from the 1st test marine and the body that it belongs to. If anyone can suggest a good yellowy brown paint that would be good for the wash, I'd be greatly appreciated. If not, I'll be moving on to something else, for now anyway.

Durus Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 [...] 1:1 or so Iyanden Darksun and Bestial Brown way watered down to an ink like consistancy over top. [...] Why don't you mix a new pot with your wash? This way you could keep the mix consistent throughout your army. Another thing to consider while doing this might be using eyedroppers to note the ratio as precise as possible, in case you have to mix it again. You would have two slightly different shaded models, but the rest would be uniform. Otherwise Bubonic Brown or Vomit Brown might be the right shade. This might be of help as well: http://colors.silicon-dragons.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khrangar Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 @Durus: I think I might use one of those 2 colours you mentioned, I forgot about them. @Terminatorinhell: Thanks, you may see more SoG from me at some point. Also, I'll do your army next, for a fee :down:. Next time I'm at GW, I'll pick up some paint and start again on these guys. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khrangar Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I managed the get the 2nd model done. Here he is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/r1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/r2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/r3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/r4.jpg Not as good as the 1st one IMO, but he'll do for a regular trooper.

Khrangar Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Greetings, I've begun work on a Mk5 Tech Marine. I don't know if I'll end up using the model, I may if I use vehicles with this army or get a couple dreads. Anyway, here he is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Mark%205/tech1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Mark%205/tech2.jpg Neither the head nor the backpack are glued on.
