heralds of excess Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Just realised that i haven't added any images of all the models in my call. So without further ado... http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o782/Supermunkie1/Warhammer/SAM_5679.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o782/Supermunkie1/Warhammer/SAM_5680.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o782/Supermunkie1/Warhammer/SAM_5681.jpg - the helbrute will be receiving a dryad head to match the rest of the army.

Dez Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm loving the purple and blue! The freehand on the termi pad came out good, but the paint looks a bit thick. If you thin your paint a bit and do multiple layers it will look great. If you are up to it, try lightly sanding it and doing some more thin layers.

chaplainmikey Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Lovely work on the Brute, the pruple and blue work really well for a Slaaneshi colour scheme. :ph34r: Good idea with the Dryad heads too! They look very fiiting and i'm suprised I haven't seen it done before actually. Might have to 'borrow' your idea. :P I agree with Dez regarding the freehand. Did you paint the bone colour straight over the blue? Maybe try either building it up in really thin coats or start with a darker colour and work your way up. I'm sure that the more you do the more and more your results will improve. Best of luck with the rest of your CoC pledge, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heralds of excess Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks guys. Yeah the bone is straight on the blue, i did this as i wanted a quick test to see how it would look and plan to paint over it when i paint all of the terminators. I'm thinking of adding some freehand to the 'brute, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Did you have something in particular in mind? Though the Brute has a lot of armour plating there isn't actually that much space for freehands what with the trim on the armour. The tops of his shoulders and his right arm seem like the best places, but I wouldn't say the rest of the plates are ideal. Either way, I look forward to seeing what you go with . Mike.

heralds of excess Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 I was thinking the left knee pad, the shoulder pad and the tops of the chest panels. Slaanesh symbols and maybe green-stuff some flayed skin over the tops of the chest panels like on the Terminator; although i'm open to suggestions if you've got any.

heralds of excess Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 How's this for a symbol for The Corpus Brethren? http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o782/Supermunkie1/Photoshop/CorpusBrethren.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heralds of excess Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hello again guys! 13th November - update 3 Here's the 3rd update for my Call of Chaos; a 'count-as' heavy flamer and power fist terminator and a sneak peek at my currently P.I.P Lord. Comments and criticisms much appreciated! http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o782/Supermunkie1/Warhammer/SAM_5723.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o782/Supermunkie1/Warhammer/SAM_5725.jpg And here's my currently armless lord http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o782/Supermunkie1/Warhammer/SAM_5728.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Looking good so far and that face is creepy, in a good way. My only critique is that your shoulderpad symbols appear to have been painted using thick layers, which breaks up the even surface. I suggest that you thin your paint slightly and/or put down a thin coat of light brown underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepaca Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Looking quite good indeed! Pulling off such a coluorful scheme is always tricky, so good job! But I have to agree with what Brother Nihm said: You should thin your paints a bit more, especially the whites. You can always achieve a nice white coverage by first painting a base layer of light brown or yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heralds of excess Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 I posted these up on Dakka and EC.net and got the same response so i have painted over the symbols and will *hopefully* be able to put the new, better painted, ones up in a few days.

chaplainmikey Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I'm sure that with more practice your freehands will improve. They already look good, just a tad thick thats all. I love your idea for chapter insignia! Very much looks the part and it's nice that it incorporates the colours of your army. How will you be applying it to the models? I imagine it would be difficult and time consuming to freehand. :rolleyes: Keep up the good work buddy. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heralds of excess Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 I am still alive, have no fears! I was planning to use a skull transfer and then freehand the colours on top, but if anyone has any better ideas then i'd really appreciate the advise. Expect another 'painted' update soon...
