Mr.(Space)Marine Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hey all, this is the WIP thread for my progress in the Librarium Painting CHallenge. Finally got some batteries for my camera and am able to take some photos of stuff. Captain WIP, in the Chapter colours of an unnamed Chapter, halved gold and red. Almost done, but haven't got any skin colour paints yet so his head still needs to be finished. And he needs basing too. And the metal is a little too shiny for my liking too, needs some more ink wash. http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m471/imperialfist4/DSCN0046.jpg I really like the devlan mud wash, it makes the gold look so much better (and its especially good for the less gifted of us like me that can't highlight for *&$%!) Here is the hardly done WIP terminator. I think I'll be doing a Blood Angel or something, something red at least. http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m471/imperialfist4/DSCN0050.jpg And since I can't get my hands on those two CSMs my friend promised me I could paint I've done a (very badly painted) PH Emperor's Children. Still WIP: http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m471/imperialfist4/DSCN0051.jpg Note the I didn't do the basing, that was the base it was on when I got it (got a whole bunch of 3rd ed. space marines for free off of someone I know). Oh, and sorry about the blurryness of the last two pics, I'll try and fix that for the next pictures. Update soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.(Space)Marine Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 I've neatened up the Captaina nd gotten rid of any spots of paint that aren't in the right areas. I'll be trying to finish off the termie and EC today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_bunny Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 try giving your gold a highlight-burnished gold, or shining gold with a 1:1 mix of mithril silver. also when doing gold, to make it appear less patchy and thin, do a base coat of tin bitz, then a few layers of gold until you have a bold colour, then go for your delvan wash, then highlight with my suggest colours, it gives it great depth.

Mr.(Space)Marine Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 I think I did that with an Iron Warriors chaos lord of mine a while ago (with converted chainsaw!), but I'll give it a go here too and see what happens. And seriously, the EC probably can't get much better, the previous owner ahd about 5layers of thick paint al over it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.(Space)Marine Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Yeah they aren't finished yet. The termie has only had a bit of red on him, that's all. I've done the basecoat for him now and its on to washes. Pics soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.(Space)Marine Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Termaintor almost finished, will get a picure up soon. Looks alright to me, Painted as a Blood Angel for no particular reason other than I like red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
