Captain Semper Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Looking good tomsev - love the purple weapons, good choice there! If you add black dots in the gun barrels (or better yet if you drill them) it will add trenedously to the final result! Excellent progress so far!

tomsev Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 so today i got some work done on my GM thought id post it... base coats are more or less done as is the silver blue armour id tried to to for him, not sure if i should add more bling or leave him as he is... give your advice on him pls. not sure about the colour of the tubing on his arms so pls tell me what youd like to see there... tomsev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 What can I tell you tomsev, looks really good! :) I think a bit lighter shade of gold would work well on it... Looks kind of brownish gold right now... As for the tubing, I'd say a bit more shine and you're done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsev Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 the gold looks brown because its only the basecoat, still need pre wash highlights and the final after wash highlights... scrolls arent done either, and im thinking of doing the tubing on the arms in green like the purity seals or i might bring in some blue... also wondering what colour should i do the gun casings in? any thoughts?

tomsev Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Sooo i thought before going to sleep i would post where im at with my GM, hes not quite done yet but hes getting close, still need to the red on his shoulder pads, finish scrolls, tubing etc but the biggest part of him is done. Here he is: well there is where im standing now... hope you all like him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 He looks great. I hope to get pics up of mine, had some busy days this week. I like the red on the shoulders as well as the loin cloth. Can't wait to see the finished work. The only thing I would add is either drill out the barrel or put a black dot on the end to look like it's open.

tomsev Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 last night i was about to drill out the barrels when all of a sudden a warp hole opened in my living room and sucked away my hand drill, so until i can find it, the barrels wont be done...

Akylas Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Love the powersword on that Dreadknight. Do you airbrush that first metallic color on the Grandmaster and tank? The colors came out very even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsev Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 first off thanks alot... nope no air brush at all, just chaos black primer, leadbelcher drybrush (think i did this 2 or 3 times), dragonhoff nightshade wash (again 2 - 3 coats to get a nice blue cover over the armour), then highlights with thinned chain mail, and thinned mithril silver easy as that...

Akylas Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Gotta love Leadbelcher. The blue shading on the grandmaster came out well. Just a subtle hint (last time I took a colored shade to a metallic it was to create blue necrons. Guessing I was going a bit heavier with my wash brush :P).
