This one shows off the chapter symbol (or whatever a chaos marine has instead).

Thanks, I need to touch up a few places that have come to light in the photos, and correct the gold foot and gold helmet crest (should be maroon and silver respectively).

So I made some pretty good progress this morning, though as I was relating to Hubernator, his green was killing me. I think I came close and I finally had a chance to use that pot of old Vile Green that GW retired (I really liked that color).

 

Anyway, here's a bunch of pics, such as they are

I still need to put the chapter symbol on the left pad, might do a little more detailing, I'll have to see. I'm not convinced that I pulled the eyes off, they were are supposed to be glowing a bit.

 

Other things:

 

1. Did I say the green was a pain B) I started with a black base, then started with foundation Ork Hide. Since that was lighter than where I wanted to end up, I then mixed up Apple Barrel Colors Hunter Green 20754 and a bit of green ink. I put 2-3 coats over the foundation, then progressively added more green ink to darken it up. So I think I got fairly close although that may not be obvious from the pictures. I also added some Chaos Black to the base green for some recess work, though I don't know how evident it is in the pics.

 

2. I wasn't convinced that a yellow chest eagle would work, so I started with Iyanden Yellow foundation, then a 50/50 mix of IY and Bleached Bone, then a final highlight of Bleached Bone. From there I added a couple of layers of yellow ink and I got pretty close to what I wanted...something yellow, but not in stark contrast to the dark green

 

3. The lighter green started with a base of Space Wolves Grey, then Vile Green, then a glaze of SW Grey.

 

So, Hubernator, what say ye? :)

ok, slight update from me. Due to RL and lots of school work, yeah, even though i've finished my school still insists on giving me school work :wallbash: and they say I'm the one that needs educating. But I digress, I'm away from Sunday until the 26th so I will have to post the finished model slightly late.

So is this a test to see who comes in last? :wallbash:

 

That would be. For the second time in a row, I fail utterly. Actually, I fail worse than last time because last time I actually assembled a model. If it wasn't for a rather unexpected move and getting married and all I probably would have done better, but alas...

;) Waaaah! I was so hoping to see a well painted Son of Doom. :)

 

Ah well, bad luck Barret, RL sucks when you have internet challenges to do.

 

Regarding Brother Nehkbet from Vaaish's chapter, I'm going to try and get a webcam installed on my computer and see if it can take a decent picture of my model.

@ Tigris: Woah, that's great work, man! I need to know how you did the chapter symbol.

 

And as always, I'm keeping mine a surprise.

 

Chapter symbol is entirely freehand with a 000 brush in four easy steps.

 

I will do another one as a "tutorial" if you like?
