John Thompson Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Since my tutorial on the Storm Ghosts was lost in 'The Great Crash' and I still get a few questions about wether I still have it, here it goes again. Too bad the pics aren't too great... :P So.. A few months have passed since the Chapter Master contest and a little while ago I got a box of new plastic Terminators to paint up in the Storm Ghost colours.

Monkey Garage Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I will be studying this tutorial quite a bit. Very well done paint job. I believe it will create the effect I want for my death guard, but with a more green tinge. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Thanks guys! Monkey Garage, If you want to do this with a bit more green-tinged bone, might I suggest using a shading glaze (step 5) of Catachan Green? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aretziel Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 wie! at last ... thanks for the re-post =) I got sad when it went missing but good you had it backed up =) hope I can make it justice on my army to be =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Garage Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I was considering replacing all of the brown included in this tutorial w/ green, but I will do a few test pieces to see which works best. My only issue is with the "striping/feathering" done in the last stages. I am a good painter, all modesty aside :P But I haven't been able to paint well using the feathering strip as I'm used to layering. So I am quite jealous of what you achieved here. Hopefully with some practice I'll be able to emulate the style. This is probably my best "find" as far as tutorials go and the look I am wanting to achieve with the Plague Marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with some practice I'll be able to emulate the style.That's quite funny, I used to be able to do relatively nice blendings, but after painting my Emperors Children (the pink is stripey) I just can't seem to get it smooth anymore.. Ive just figuered out a way to improve my photography-skills, so I'll post up a new pic in a minute.. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used as a source of highlighting versus the traditional blending/layering to get the more worn appearance or texture as apparent in these mini's. Smooth blending will not look good on Plague Marines, which is what I'm good at. This style is perfect and exactly what I'm looking for. I'm highly tempted to grab a marine arm when i get home and give it a try, while putting the chaos lords bits aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 As promised, here are some new and slightly aproved pics (still not too good, nor patient enough for Photoshop though) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/John_Thompson/Space%20Marines/PICT0001copy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/John_Thompson/Space%20Marines/PICT0002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/John_Thompson/Space%20Marines/PICT0004.jpg And to top it off, pics from the other marines, so you can see how it looks on power armour: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/John_Thompson/Space%20Marines/StormComm.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/John_Thompson/Space%20Marines/StormHeavy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/John_Thompson/Space%20Marines/StormTactical.jpg John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Renn Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Superb. Just superb. That is exactly the bone color that I am looking at for my BT/ DIY successor army. I am planning on using more of a maroon color to compliment the bone though. Thanks for reposting this. I will be referring back to it often when I start painting my models.

Wiggles 2.0 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 well, it seems techniques are being stolen left and right so, consider yours stolen :( . I rather needed a scheme like this to hold my interest in marines so thx :tu: ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Kashnizel Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 NOOO! There so awesome I can't resist painting them! Argh, whenever I finally pick a color scheme a thread of pure awesome comes along and changes my mind for me! Oh well, your scheme is so good that I'll have to paint a test model and I'll see where it goes from there... P.S: Awesome tutorial really clear and easy to understand.
