Jolemai attempts fortifications, scenery and terrain...

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Yeah, the paint coat looks great - it really captures the dappled colouration of concrete.  How did you pull off that look?

[Jolemai]

Castellan Green -> Agrax Earthshade (all over wash rather than recess) -> Nurgling Green (drybrush)

 

It's the suggestion on the box art (which differs from the current recommendation on the GW website).

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Thanks!

 

I'm surprised - your picture comes across as more tan-grey than green.  Is it greener in person?

Bastion Kitbash

A few extra pictures of my Bastion for March's 12M Challenge:

Thanks!

Really sorry for the late reply. It's greener in yellower light and more grey in daylight. Quite unusual really.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Thanks, and no problems about a late reply.  And yeah, the new pictures are much greener, but looking good none the less. :)

[Majkhel]

This came out really, REALLY well!

Good job, Jole! You shoud be proud :)

[Jolemai]

Cheers :)

Skyshield Landing Pad

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Skyshield.

[Jolemai]

Thanks :)

[Maschinenpriester]

Lovely. I think you hit a sweet spot between dirty and clean.

[Jolemai]

Cheers :) Makes some sort of sense that the cleanest bit would be the Imperial Eagle...

Scatter Terrain

For July's 12M Challenge entry, I'm going to do the extras for the Bastion(s). They will be painted in the same style and hopefully to the same standard...

12M Challenge - July

I, Reclusiarch Jolemai , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July pledge to complete 2x Icarus lascannons, 2x Comms Array, 2x floor panels to the defence of the Imperial Faction by month's end.

All done. Maybe I'll get around to finishing my Aegis Defence Line one day...

Aegis Defense Line and Imperial Bunker WIP

I realise this thread has been a little bit neglected... So I thought I'd have a go at some scenery this month:

MayI, Reclusiarch Jolemai , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of May pledge to complete 1x Imperial Bunker, 1x Aegis Defense Line with quad gun, lascannon, Comms array by month's end.

To do:

• Build Bunker, lascannon, Comms array
• Paint all to completion

Unlike the green terrain I did above for my gaming club, I'll be sticking with the grey look I originally started to do as it fits my BA/Imperial bases. Be good to get them finished, finally.

[Jolemai]

Bunker WIP

Should have that Bunker and Comms Array finished soon. In the meantime, I've been working on some marble for it:

May Update

Marble WIP...

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Looks nice - the marble effect is very subtle but looks great.

 

I painted up that little bunker myself - its a fun kit to do (you can see it here, if you are so inclined: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332850-362-bellemonde-penal-legion/?p=5317916 ) Is the bunker itself going to stay that stippled gray colour, or do you have further plans for it?

Cheers, will take a look.

 

As for the grey Bunker, I'm sticking with the grey. It's the same technique I used on my group's double Bastion and Skyshield (shown earlier in the thread), but with greys as I wanted my Imperial scenery to match my Imperial bases (which are grey).

[Dr_Ruminahui]

The gray looks great - it is also often a "midway" colour to base many paint schemes off of, so I wasn't sure if that was its final colour or not. :)  We've had this discussion before, but the colour comes across much greener in some of the other pictures.

You are killing this terrain! Looks really great. Big fan of the bastion in particular. Really like the texture you've managed to achieve!

Imperial Bunker and Comms Array

May update 2/3

Bunker and Comms Array complete

[Majkhel]

Great looking bunker Jole!
And awesome idea for the picture - obviously a death-world :P

[Bryan Blaire]

Bunker and comms antenna set up look fantastic, Jol!  Nice work on the marble tones on the Imperialis, but I do feel like it could do with some additional small veins across it.  All the detail looks very nice and definitely supports and offsets the functional and battle ready bunker!

Cheers and fortunately, the local xenos was elsewhere!
