Trysanna Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I like how Lorgar is coming along. But those Black Legion are gorgeous! If that's the test, I cant't wait to see how more will look. -Tarvik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Cheers gents. With any luck i'll be a bit further along today, spent most of last night basecoating and washing the cloak and parchment. That wasn't exactly fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Little more work on Lorgar tonight, mainly finishing off the cloak with a little NMM trim. Just his pistol to finish now before moving onto his head and base. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Lorgar2_zps2ceaf7fb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 It's really unfortunate how they sculpted the face, it's a terrific model and you definitely match that with your painting skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Diablo Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Cheers guys. Im not too crazy on the face myself Heinrich, I think the expression fits the rest of the sculpt, it's just not quite as well sculpted as the rest of the fig. Once I get a basecoat and wash on it i'll be able to give it some proper thought. Only problem im having now is a desire to paint a Night Lord after seeing so many pop up of late.

Flint13 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Lorgar is looking awesome! I wish I could get a red that dark and juicy. As for the Nightlords, you can blame Heinrich and me for that... you should paint some. Do it! .... do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumbaFish Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Wow great work all around. All the nurgle stuff looks great and I'm impressed by how simple most of the recipes you use are. Keep up the good work . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Nightlords, you can blame Heinrich and me for that... you should paint some. Do it! .... do it. Thanks Flint. The red is (as usual) deceptively easy - it's a basecoat of Mephiston Red washed with Devlan Mud. It gets highlighted with Mephiston, then a 50/50 mix of Mephiston and Evil Sunz Scarlet. Once thats on it gets a quick qlaze using red ink. Wow great work all around. All the nurgle stuff looks great and I'm impressed by how simple most of the recipes you use are. Keep up the good work . Cheers ;) Simple recipes are the only way i'd be able to get any painting done! I've got a lot of respect for the painters that will come up with mixes that are 3 parts one paint, 2 parts another and a part of something else, I have enough trouble getting the mix right when I use 2 colours.

Flint13 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Awesome! Thanks for breaking that down for me. I think I'll have to try it on my next becloaked marine. Do you find inks give a very different effect from normal washes? I'm afraid I don't have much experience with inks, just washes and glazes, so any help is appreciated ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find inks give a very different effect from normal washes? I'm afraid I don't have much experience with inks, just washes and glazes, so any help is appreciated Inks give a very different feel to washes, though don't be fooled by a product sold as a glaze - the GW ones in particular are just thinner washes. Glazes using inks (or any thinned paint for that matter) need to be thinned right down - think a barely tinted water - and applied very thin to work. Once you've got the paint on the brush, touch the brush to a piece of kitchen paper to blot out the excess moisture, thats the point it's ready to use. the layers should be thin enough to dry in seconds, thats the sort of amount your using.

SteelPaladin Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 That is the best painted Lorgar I have seen yet! Fantastic job. I just wish that Edgar did not sculpt everyone with such ancient looking faces. Lorgar should not look like a withered old man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'm with SteelPaladin, Lorgar should be youthful, self-assured and rune-inscripted. But you've done an awesome job here! His face is very natural and realistic. In fact, he reminds me of a celebrity... just not quite sure who yet.... Not Patrick Stewart, not Ben Kingsley, not Pete Postlethwaite... hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Must admit the head has grown on me since painting it, though it's nowhere near the quality of Fulgrim. As for who he looks like Flint, im almost thinking a cross between the 3 of them, with an extra 10 years tacked on for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 You've done the mini justice. Looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreal Cruelty Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I think you did really good with that face, it doesn't look as...decrepit as the FW painted example. As for who he looks like, actually, the set of the nose and the eyes remind me of Christopher Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koriel Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Best Lorgar ever. I really like the grey and like the others have said, that brass is just sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Great job on the Lorgar model brother. The brass is exquisite! And for my next trick, I shall turn this innocent looking pile of parts into a post Heresy Death Guard Contemptor. Good luck with that endeavour! BTW, those gun barrels are painfully warped- I had to do a double take. Hope a hot water bath and some blow drying will clear that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I am in awe of your finished Lorgar!! His armor, cloak, and base look a-frickin-mazing!! Very nice work. I like Lorgars head a lot, here's why: He looks brooding, contemplative to me. And as a thinker not a fighter I feel like that shows in his face and expression unlike say, Fulgrim. Anyways, nice stuff here, it's easy to see why you do commission work!! End of Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
