IamCaboose Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 So I'm taking part in Mavericks Winter Advance 2012. I've decided to paint up my Logan wing army, starting with my 5 man drop pod unit. Here's the first guy I've started on. He's almost done except for the tubes under his arms, highlighting his gun, his face, and his base. http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0006.jpg http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0014.jpg I'm trying a different route for my golds by painting the item silver with a few washes of Sepia. So far I like how its turning out. More to come! Caboose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old git Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Need to drill those gun barrels though. Great job otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death given form Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm a huge fan of that shade of gray you have; it's a nice balance between the blue-ish shade of "traditional" SW and Pre-Heresy Wolves. As Old Git says, though, drill the gun barrels! It will make a world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamCaboose Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 So here's one finished terminator. I drilled the barrels but I don't know how happy I am with them. For the rest of the squad, and all future terminators, I'll drill the barrels before painting. Also, first time I've painted an eye on a model! I didn't want to ruin it with a huge black dot though. So here it is! http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0028.jpg http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0017.jpg Caboose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamCaboose Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Started on the second terminator finally. This guy will probably get moved to another squad since his upper torso is the same as the first guy I painted. I'm hoping he turns out as well as the first, I keep thinking the wash didn't settle as well on him. Also, I'm thinking green lenses for his helmet. Something to help break up the grey and red already on him. http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0034.jpg http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0033.jpg Caboose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamCaboose Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Small update on the second termie. His greys are done, highlights and all. Gotta work on the shoulder pads and red knee pad next. On a side note, I believe I'm going to use Gunnar Redmoons company symbol since I think it's pretty bad ass, and it will fit nicely with the color scheme. So here's two pics of the terminator! http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0005.jpg This next picture is really because I need input from you guys! I know the power connectors on the glove itself will stay grey. But the cords and the connectors to the wolf claw I'm not what color to go with!! Also the "handle" will be black as well". http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_00061.jpg Thanks!

Jerre Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 On my regular terminators I did in the same color as the armour but for my Logan Grimnar conversion I went for a danger stripe theme ... http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...t&p=2944277 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamCaboose Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Second guy is finished. I'm happy I went with the green eye lense, really breaks up all the grey. Can't see in the picture but the barrels are drilled nicely. I feel like my bolters are always a little bland, but I'm not sure how to make them stand out anymore without looking crazy. Once the squad is done I'll apply the FW decals for Gunnar Redmoon. C&C always welcome! http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0006-1.jpg http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0005-1.jpg http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0004.jpg Caboose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forté Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Looking good brother. Nice and clean. I'll echo what oldgit said though. Drill out your barrels. Do it before you undercoat and don't forget to drill the side holes too. I know it seems like a waste of time but the extra work makes a huge difference.

Greyall Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 That second chap looks like he's just taking his morning stroll around the town's park and a kraken's throat. Seriously, though, great painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamCaboose Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks for all the comments guys. I agree that drilling the bolters makes a world of difference. As for the grey it's really simple: Basecoat black Solid coat of thinned down Codex Grey Heavy Badab Black wash, making sure it's in all the nooks and crannies Then just another solid coat of thinned Codex Grey, leaving the black wash around the edges, joints, anywhere you think light won't hit. Highlight with Fortress Grey, make sure you don't just highlight every edge. Skull White dots on a few corners, as well as some thin lines on edges to bring it out more. I think it's really the highlights that give the grey the color. Third terminator will be started soon! Caboose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Very, very nice work. That really is a beautiful, clean grey. Thanks for telling us how you did it. If I give up my warlock-ways and ever collect those who invaded Prospero, I'll use that method for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamCaboose Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Back again with another terminator. Other than his base he's done! For some reason painting his face was a pain, and even now I'm not completely happy with it. So I decided to cut my losses and just keep what I have. So here he is, comments always welcome! http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0007.jpg http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0009.jpg http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0010.jpg http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_0011.jpg http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/IamCaboose/Space%20Wolves/IMG_00051.jpg Caboose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
