JeffJedi Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Great converisions. I really like the shotguns in the second pic and the Psyker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Very, very nice work. Particularly your two masters and the astropath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrenael Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Very nice work. Can I make a few recommendations on your photo taking capabilities? First you will want more light (possible use the flash on the camera). Second thing you want to do is to try and take a look at the white balance to get that true color. The third and final thing you are going to want to do is try taping a white paper to the box to get a even backdrop. I hope these help you to get better pictures, but I love the models keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Looking good there - but for the photos don't use the flash as it will just wash out the colours. Try buying a couple of cheap desklamps to provide extra lighting and play around with the light source settings on your camera.

Idlem Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks for the comments as well as the advice for the camera. Hopefully I can figure out something to get you all clearer pictures on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 I was painting a gift my wife got me when I realized I have a ton of individual models that need better photos and updates of finished squads from awhile back to show off. Sadly, I only have this preview to offer for now. A few guesses to what it belongs to. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3673/13213414383_d19fea953a_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 How many guesses do we get? :P Is that bits of space monkey I see on the base? I approve! When do we get to see the model that uses the base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Without a means to enforce a limit I'd say pi plus nine. Hoping to get new pictures of finished work sometime this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 ....aaaaaand bamph! Some veterans I've been working on. They all have camo cloaks, either rolled up in their backpack or actually out. We have the finished penal legion in the back... My sentinel... (Its got chicken leeeeeegs! /cuddles) My first painted Chimera... My Imperial Knight...'s legs! (Venerable Iron is a Freeblade dedicated to the Old 256) So yeah!

WarriorFish Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looks like you've been productive - very nice green on those vehicles :) I'm looking forward to seeing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 So where did you lady commissar come from? She's got some great attitude. The rest of your stuff is looking really good. I even missed the shotguns on the second pic, but that's a very clever conversion. Carry on! walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Shamelessly stole the ideas for the shotguns from "From the Warp". As for the Lady Commissar, she came from a company called Warforge. Quick look doesn't show a direct place to buy her from anymore, but I'm sure a little googling will get you a model of her if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomkapow Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 You should do a tutorial on how you did that searchlight. Whole army looks amazing but that, for whatever reason, stood out. Probably because I struggle with doing them. Also can't wait to see that titan completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 You should do a tutorial on how you did that searchlight. Seconded! Do tell! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hm, I'll be working on another Chimera once I get the Knight completed. I'll post a picture by picture version, but for now... I start by basing it Kantor Blue, then I give most of the the light another layer of Macragge Blue, leaving a bit of the Kantor visible. Another layer of iceblue goes where the light is reflecting off the glass, leaving again a bit of the previous two colors visable. Finally White Scar goes where the reflection is the brightest. If at this point the colors are too bright, give it a good wash of blue. I think the new blue wash is called Nightshade something. I still have Asurmen Blue. The wash should give it an extra glassy look to it. Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Two updates and a couple of vets I had finished awhile ago. Flamer guy on left shown at another angle from above images. The Knight's legs are finished. Going to start working on either some arms or pauldrons here soon.

WarriorFish Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I love the head hunter! Great work, and the Knight is coming along very nicely. You're going to have quite the mean looking army when they're done :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Weekend updates. Venerable Iron getting its face all made up. The photos of the searchlight, step by step. Finally, my finished Guardsman for our board challenge. WarriorFish, walter h and Kierdale 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Curse you Idlem, watching your Knight come along is giving me an itchy buying finger! Especially since green is my favourite colour too, and likely would find itself on my Knight! Keep up the sterling work, it's a pleasure to watch the Cadian 256 expand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Some updates at my glacial pace. His "back" isn't done yet. I've still got edges to finish and details to do. Smoke stacks to fill in black... So yeah, my weekend update. WarriorFish, chaplainmikey and Kierdale 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Great looking cadians man!!! I really like the uniformity with the knight :)... What color green are you using on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 They're all painted with Castellan Green with Deathworld Forest highlights. I've been stealing decals from just about every transfer sheet I've ever gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
