Fire Golem Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The red is lovely. I like the upgrades. Not blown away by them, but they're solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'm thinking to achieve that color you'll need to do something similiar to the FW AL: 1.) Prime model 2.) Base Coat rub and buff or other high sheen metallic color (no not Charlie Sheen :P) 3.) Layer multiple thin coats of a dark red "candy" glaze to taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The4thHorseman Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Anyone know if the Demios Damocles has a Hersey Armor Correct Interior? I already own a Mars Pattern one, and have just been switching the tops to Demios Chassies, but if this one actually has a differrent interior I may get one, otherwise theres no point if you already have one. 1k Sons stuff seems decent, not OTT but nice.

betrayer41 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ok so serious Question.... Te metallic FW are they red or orange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ok so serious Question.... Te metallic FW are they red or orange? I'm assuming it's maybe 3 successive coats of Angron Red/Tamiya Clear Red over Rub & Buff Silver. The Angron Red in particular comes out a lot like that.

Black_out Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 The helmets are pretty cool and the torsos are better than the NL ones so I don't wanna hear any complaints lol. Not a fan of molded shoulder pads in general so my opinion doesn't count on those. All in all I'd say they're a decent option to dress up some of your basic units.

MikhalLeNoir Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hmmm. I don't like the upgrade kits. Defintely one of the weaker ones and I saw severa custom 1k Sons who did a better job. But the painting is definetly great. And the Legion symbol can be easily changed to a full sun. Heheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrawes Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Received an email from Forgeworld detailing their Thousand Sons schemes, both metallic and non: Hail citizen of the emperium! You have chosen a fine detail to adorn on your battle armour!I must warn you that the following concoction of paint to armour is not for the faint of heart.I have attached the required scheme you have asked for.Have courage though and the emperor will reward you for your devotion to the brush.It would be joyous to see your progress as you work through your ranks.Thanks againMetallic Scheme:It is black undercoat, airbrush with Iron hands FW paint leaving the lower parts of the armour plates black, airbrush upper parts of the armour plates with runefang steel as a highlight. Then a few thinned layers of clear red are airbrushed all over, waiting for the previous layer to dry before applying the next (so it would be useful to paint large batches of marines at the same time). Shade the recesses with nuln oil and then weather the edges with runefang steel. The gold is retributor gold, shaded with seraphim sepia and highlighted with runefang steel. The brass is runelord brass, shaded with seraphim sepia. The eyes are painted black, single line in the centre with white and then washed with FW clear green paint. The white on the bolters and legion icon is celestra grey, ulthuan grey and then white highlights. The hollow tactical arrow is from the Iron Warriors transfer sheet.Matt SchemeRED ARMOUR base coat: Khorne red.Shade: Carrobourg Crimsonlayering: of Mephiston Red 1:1 Lahmian Medium (this was done with 2 to 3 thin layers.)Edge highlight : Evil Sunz Scarlet GOLD PLATESBase: Balthasar GoldShade : Nun OilLayer : Gehenna's Gold followed by Auric Armour GoldHighlighted by RuneFang Steal.SLIVERBase: LeadbelcherShade : Nun OilHighlight : Runefang Steal WHITEBase : White Scar Shade: Nun OilLayer : White ScarEYE LENS’Base: Caliban GreenShade: Nun Oillayer: Warpstone Glow followed by Elysian Green Edge highlighted, krieg khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
