Gondow Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hello. I desperately needs help on how to make the power axe of Astaroth look good. Link to the pic I have never done a powere weapon, and I don't want the standard blue on Astaroth. I thought that a warm yellow would compliment the red/bone of the figure... C&C very welcome.

C&C very welcome. hello there, i think if you want to make that power axe look a bit more striking, you should try and paint a brighter colour inside the lighting you have already painted. and if you can, do an even brighter yellow - maybe even white or bone - to make it glow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gondow Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Link to pic any more tips? Not to put myself down, but that axe ruins the model :/ oh, any tips on how to better freehand this? Seargent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIST_OF_DORN Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Probably not a very helpful suggestion but practice is the only way to improve freehand. Try practising on paper using your brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gondow Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Most base colors on, and wash. Still trying to figure out how I want the wings... IF I want them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanSupreme Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Still trying to figure out how I want the wings... IF I want them... I just left the wings off of my dudes, I felt they were a little hokey looking. If it ever comes up I'll say they are Honor Guard or Vanguard Marines or whatever.

Xenith Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Oh, any tips on how to better freehand this? Something I came up with for the Flesh Tearer I painted was to paint the shoulderpad black, then paint a white circle in the middle of the pad, as neat as you can. Tidy this up with black. Them, with thinned black paint, draw diagonal dashes going from a mm or two into the white circle out into the black pad, do this all the way around at regular spacing. I can get a pic up to show you if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exetus Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The first thing I'll say is that colored lightning isn't one color... or at least, bright, colored light isn't. It's a white hot core with an aura of the color that surrounds it. You can fade some of the color into the white, but look at these pictures of colored lightning: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xuzDUDvyzi0/UATeaBPZ8-I/AAAAAAAABjU/vfPMP8cdmfc/s1600/pink_storm.jpg http://www.examplesof.com/photography/lightning/yellow-lightning.jpg Second thing I'll say is that you could complement your model better by not even doing lightning. Maybe fade a black blade by the haft into a bright blood red on the cutting edge... If you want to stick to the black blade, though... I'd say make the blade black, then fade in red, to orange to yellow in glowing patches and then strike with the brighter core color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 To add to what exetus has posted, when I painted my (really) old Space Wolf Rune Priest, I came across this youtube video on how to paint runes. It helped me a lot. It shouldn't take too much to "translate" what he shows in the video into painting lightning etc. Hope it helps! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdruthless Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 oh, any tips on how to better freehand this?Seargent In the case of the fleshtearers shoulder pads (admittedly a fairly narrow field) you can pick up a pack of ten finecast ones (that are okay, not brilliant ho) from GW, as well as a transfer sheet. This isn't to discourage you or imply that its impossible, just that there are other ways of doing this particular thing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
