Sir Tancrede Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hi guys, here is just a little distraction from my current work on WHFB armies : an assault vet for an online competition. The theme is a SM (assault, tactical or devastator), 40mm maximum size for the base, and the mini will be judged only on painting. I've found enough bitz in my bitz box to built this one. 7 hours of painting later, I've this mini on the desk.... http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/2340/dsc06285k.jpg http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/5076/dsc06286qk.jpg http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6047/dsc06287o.jpg http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/8510/dsc06288m.jpg It's still WIP (lots of details to finish), but I think it's on a good way... And I really thonk to make an army of some of this guys... Hope you like it. As always, comments and criticism are welcome. And I need some help to find a chapter name, with a little greek or roman inspiration... ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Tancrede Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 thanks for comments, guys. @Fire Lord Captain : How the hell did you make the exhausts on the jumppack look hazy?? Its like i'm looking at it through the heat generated by them! Very nice job! Found the tutorial on Dakkadakka, from Roleplayer (Blood Raven blog). I don't have the link here, but it's easy to find ! ^^ I'm finally decided on the chapter name, and I've decided to call them the "Spears of Ilios" (with some Greek and Troy inspiration). First is brother Patrocle, assault vet painted for an online competition on a french forum : http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/6229/patrocletermin.jpg Then, you have a Myrmidon (vet from 1st Company, in terminator armour) and a novice from 2nd squad of the 10th company : http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/6268/dsc06304.jpg And the family pic : http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1886/dsc06306v.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Tancrede Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Little update of the day, with my 1st assault squad, still WIP (bases done, but I still have to greenstuff some parts and finish to smooth some details...) - group shot : http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/9233/assautwip1.jpg - vet sergent, with power weapon and storm shield : http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2609/dsc06311zx.jpg http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/3665/dsc06312f.jpg No inspiration for the moment for the sergent's name, so if you have suggestions, I'm very interested !

Fire Lord Captain Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 He looks like a Sergeant Heracles to me! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sensei Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Nice work frater, this is some very clean work and a well balanced color sheme. In an IMHO way to be constructive, I'd say I'm a bit less fan from the space between the left foot and the base of yar assault dude and from the golden trim on the chainsword (catches the eye a bit too much). Plz keep on doing that well, ils a real pleasure to see. DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Superb work here! I have many questions as to how you did what and where, but for now I'll just ask: how'd you get such a nice fade on the yellowish white of the shoulder pads (colors and technique)?

Sir Tancrede Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 He looks like a Sergeant Heracles to me! Noted, and the name is added to the still growing list... I'd say I'm a bit less fan from the space between the left foot and the base of yar assault dude for the base, it's not the definitive, but just a temporary base for the competition. I will try to do a better one next time. for now I'll just ask: how'd you get such a nice fade on the yellowish white of the shoulder pads (colors and technique)? Base color is bleached bone. For shading, you add a little dot of snakebite leather to the bleached and do the 1st layer. Then you can continue by adding more snakebite to the mix and reducing the area. Highlights are done by adding Prince August Ivory to the bleached bone (IMO better than white, too crayish for my taste). I'll try to make a tuto on the next batch of minis.

KhornateKiller Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Glad i clicked on this thread your skills are fantastic brother with some great colors and the paint looks nice & smooth, I particully like you bases very very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Apostle Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 This is really great; fantastic painting. What kind of weathering pigment/powder are you using on the base/feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Wow, These are wonderful miniatures. I Really like the way you've based the scout on a lower base, though I can't really say I like the bases themselves (not that they're bad bases, They just don't appeal to me). I think the sergeant is should be called 'Dalran', it's not a greek/troy name, but sounds right to me :( Please Keep us updated, I'm enjoying this so far. Thanks!

Cpt. Salvatore Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 He looks like a Sergeant Heracles to me! :lol: I'd keep the name Heracles for some guy with a Power Fist. That would be cool. And Achilles for some Termie with a storm shield as they are pretty much invincible. And maybe Perseus for the guy? Perseus had a round, mirror shield and a pegasus (jump pack)...

Boomsly Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 what is the colour you use for the main body of it as i think its very nice indeed, any chance of a recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tancrede Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Thanks for the comments, brothers ! It keeps me motivated, as I have tons of projects running on at the same time ! ^^ Great work. I love the bases - how did you do those? Cork, sand, photoetched brass from the GW urban basing kit. Then paint, and finitions are done with pigments for creative arts (red ochre for this army) Final step is to add highland tuft from Warlord Games. what is the colour you use for the main body of it as i think its very nice indeed, any chance of a recipe? This color is a Prince August green called "german uniform", shaded with GW chaos black and highlighted with PA ivory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Your models look amazing. I really like them. What else do you have planned for this army? Are you going to make a whole army or are you just doing a few models in this scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tancrede Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 @AngryJohnny: I will make a whole army ! And I've begun to paint the next battle brothers... Here is a WIP of the assault squad. Still lot of work to do, but it comes nicely... : http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/2156/assautwip2.jpg And for the name (and the painting) of the sergent, I chose to name him Brother Herreros, as he is the perfect twin of an old french rugbyman, Daniel Herrero : http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/2885/bouquinherrerook.jpg Hope you like them ! As always, C&C welcome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
