Sabadin Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) As time permits. This will be the home for my VIII legion and 40k era Blood Angels works. Will hopefully be the motivation I need to finish some projects that I've been working on for the better part of 10 years. Hence, the procrastination. Thanks to Loyalty and Treachery, and the ETL later in the year, I'm expecting my Night Lords to be the focus for the current time. Will try to throw in some boys in red to mix it up though. Here's my current wip terror squad test scheme. Still need the metals and terror markings. Mainly was experimenting with the blue and the lightning. Here's an early scheme I first started on with my Raptors The new blue is a bit more involved, but I'm liking the look better. Any feedback would be great though. And here's my current heresy family so far That backlog should keep me going for a while. And i won't even get into the filthy xenos backlog. More to come as time permits.

Sabadin Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Got some time to sit down and so some more painting. Almost half way there on the terror squad now Starting to get more confident and comfortable with this whole blending thing. Still has quite a bit of room to improve, but feels like it's on the right track.

Thousand Eyes Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 They are really starting to come together, they just need some actual terror markings now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 They are really starting to come together, they just need some actual terror markings now :) I'll be batch painting those and the bolters at the end (no volkites yet unfortunately) Have the fifth member done now and some solid progress on the sixth. Once again feeling more comfortable with my blending, I think I need to start focusing more on improving the contrast and light theory.

Legionary Pallas Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Just thought I'd throw in my thoughts. Â I feel like they could do with some lightning, but I know they can be rather tricky, maybe something else, but they do need something that really says Night Lords because right now they look like Ultra's. Maybe some red? Â EDIT: Oh, and one last thing, I'm stealing that knife on the arm thing. Edited March 18, 2016 by Legionary Pallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have Night Lords without lightning and blood stains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 The bad news,the terror squad is currently on hold while I work on a project for a comp my local GW is running for the 30th anniversary day. The good news, I get to show the blood part of "Blood and Shadows" Aiming for gloss black, TMM gold and NMM red when I get to the jump pack. The black and red are basically finished, the gold is only base coated outside of the right elbow. Paland 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there, I really like your minis so far, though I must agree with Pallas that theylook quite like Ultramarines yet. Can you tell how you attached that combat knife to the guys forearm? Looks quite cool, brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Can you tell how you attached that combat knife to the guys forearm? Looks quite cool, brother! The BaC blades already have a rounded indent, I simply used a round file to adjust that to match the arm. DaBoiKyknos 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabadin Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Got it done, poor quality pic for now as it was a rush to drop off in store. Will update with better pics at a later date. Paland, Thousand Eyes and Soric 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Looks sharp. I really really like that model. Just not $30 worth of like. You did a nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, the better half simply told me "pick something you'll have fun painting and don't worry about the price" otherwise I'd not pick it up for that price either.

Sabadin Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 ETL begins with the King of Terror. Trying for a NMM blue approach again. Hopefully will turn out darker than the Terror squad. Shrieker 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Got about an hour in today. A little more tidying and the blue on the lower leg is done. Upper leg is close as well now. Then moving on to the bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 The blue on the left leg is done. Quite happy with how it turned out. Working on the bronze on the leg now. As usual, any C&C is welcome.

MikhalLeNoir Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Very good. Wish I had your skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Very good. Wish I had your skills Patience and practice, nothing more. I'll try to dig out some of my first minis for motivation on what a little practice can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 No luck on old minis yet, but update on Kurze. Left leg completed, ready to move on to the right leg. Words of honesty as well to anyone reading this saying "I'll never be able to paint that well ", that thought is the biggest obstacle to this level of painting. If you asked me 2 years ago if I could paint like this, I'd have laughed and said not a chance. Push yourself and have confidence and amazing things will happen.

Sabadin Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Butt plate done, on to the right leg. DuskRaider and foamy248 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Bit on the humid side today. May have to go back and touch up some of the blends later. The rest of the leg will darken up a bit once I add the bronze. DuskRaider and foamy248 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Very humid couple of days here so not much progress, work is coming along on the torso, debating restarting the chestpeice from scratch though. Not feeling the contrast on it currently, might block in the legion symbol first and see what impact that has.

Sabadin Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 No progress for a while due to some personal stuff, did manage to snap some old models to motivate though. These guys used to be my top models, amazing what a difference practice makes. Improving takes time, but I'm living proof if you just keep plugging away at it, you'll get there.

SkimaskMohawk Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Looks really good, but I'd suggest on working on the transitions between highlights as you can really notice the gradient in the pictures; I actually thought it was lightning one the PA guys at first.
