One-eye Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Out of interest how do you build up the white colour? I've been experimenting with grey base coats Copy / paste from a few pages back : Here's my white recipe : on a white undercoat I airbrushed a light grey (PA Air light grey 50) from beneath to give shadows, a greenish light grey (PA Air 45) for transitions and again white from atop. It was my first use of an airbrush so it was rough. I did no "basecoat", just shadowing and lighting. From then, I did glazes. Very diluted same nuances of grey, and Devlan mud. Then Badab black for "lining" and that's it. Actually it's only glazes (wet blended to the white) and pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Absolutely amazing! Love the Sicaran, there's just the right amount of weathering. The whole force oozes class. Looking forward to more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air brushing is something I've been meaning to try but never gotten around to. Most of my scars are hand painted and that's...hard work! Another question if you don't mind, PA air- is that a brand of spray paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-eye Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm sorry for that, the reference is far from obvious. It's actually Vallejo paint specially designed for Airbrushes. In France the distributor is Prince August (= PA). So Vallejo Air might be the international reference for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 A wonderful army – and I think this is one of those seminal forces that start to become iconic amongst hobbyists. Any chance of a group shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-eye Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thanks a lot Apologist. I've been a huge fan of your plog since a long time. Your support means something to me ! I've made a group shot of my first Tac squad a few pages back, and since then I've only done the Sicaran. I'll add another one when my second squad will be over (soon I hope :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-eye Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Archive source XV183K00234J - Siege of Terra - Lions Gate spaceport Legio V - Unknown Marine of the XXIV company (Legio V idiom : brotherhood) Tactical Marine Hosukai Brother Hosukai has been one the few survivors of the Breacher squads sent to slow down the Traitors' assault in the beginning of the Siege. Assigned to the 3rd Tactical squad of sergeant Hiroshai, he first kept his breacher's armour. This late campaign data-picture shows evidence of the necessity for loyalists forces to take elements from their own casualties, to compensate the lack of logistical support, especially during counter-attacks.

Kizzdougs Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Beautiful, bro! The markings on the MKVI marine's shoulder pad are really impressive and the weathering is very well done too :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Sublime stuff. I admire your willingness to work up that clean white before getting stuck in with the weathering to make them look so gritty. It really gets across the desperation of the Heresy – and gets me looking forward to more from the 5th! The variety of parts is very fitting for the Legion, too. Are the legs on the unnamed legionary from the Khorne Berserker kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-eye Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Thanks for all your support ! I really appreciate. Here's the rest of the demi-squad Hiroshai This one is a OOP Mk VI Space Wolf slightly modified. Standart Mk III (Helmet shortened and topknot) Reinforced Mk III They've been a bit rushed, but I'm very happy with them. Will take a group shot of the demi-squad asap.

The former half was only Mk III and Mk VI, so I hope it will mix well altogether. Conversions are pretty simple this time : topknots, loincloths, lightnings and a few Berserk / SW bits here and there (not much, WS are not white Space wolves ! ) A small "group shot" Only the Sergeant and the Moritat to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
