Hrvat Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Ok after suffering some nightmares about brushes and the colour gold I present you Brother Devotee Coltrane of the Sagittarians http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020006.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020005.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020004.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020003.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f355/Giladis/PC020007.jpg *the last one has a bit of aritifical light to better show of the gold :D The base is a bit old school and I think I will keep it like that, maybe adding some flock when get to buying some of it.

dendrofil Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 This is taking forever. I just remembered why I hate painting gold. Off-topic warning! I don't know if you've already adressed the problem with painting gold, but I paint it like this - White undercoat (much easier to paint gold over white rather than black, even if its a metallic.) - Burnished gold - Mithril silver highlights - Gryphonne sepia (at least two layers). But I agree, gold is a total pain in the behind to paint, but the Gryphonne sepia-washing often ties it together to give it a smoother finish and some nice depth to the colour. /end of OT.

Captain Semper Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 In the nick of time!!! THE WORST BASING EVER!!! But I declare the miniature finished :blink: Challenge met! ** does the deamon dance** http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/ackool/IMG_0002.jpg http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/ackool/IMG_0003.jpg http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/ackool/IMG_0004.jpg http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/ackool/IMG_0005.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menkeroth Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Cpt. Semper, he's amazin'! Nothin' to add :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks Menkeroth! If I knew the amount of work I had this week I probably would not have taken the challenge in the first place! As it turns out the base was done in a hurry between 07:15 -07:20 this morning and it shows! Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolved23 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Okay heres the word bearer champion. I actually managed to get 2 others base coated. Unfortunately this was the only photo that survived my purge of low quality pics. I will endeavour to improve upon this. It is also unfortunate that I was unable to base my model due to constraints within the paint region. Yeah I'll be using 2 for these guys. Base of liche purple with splashes of tentacle pink. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g154/Evolved23HALO_photos/PC010637.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eripu Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I was an abject failure at this challenge ;) Week-before-finals crunch hit me hard, and pulling an all-nighter Thursday->Friday didn't help anything. I got through assembly, priming, and a basecoat (all this was done by the end of the day Sunday), and then didn't have time to pick up a paintbrush again.

Excessus Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Meh, I failed... I suddenly had five million things to do at the same time...he's only halfway done so far...but he is going to get finished!!! ...someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I was actually finished, but for some reason my phone will not share files with my computer, like it did last friday B) I did manage to use him in a game however, I think he killed 3-4 Wyches and a Daemonette in the two games I used him. Not my most effective marine, but he mostly did his job B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castiel Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 My model just needed based and washed, but there was a (very) unexpected event this week which prevented me from having time to finish it for the challenge. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
