Thunder_god Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Back on track! :p My first experience with Agrellan Earth has been a positive one: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/05187051-F066-49CD-B547-3E1C79FE0420_zpskazsi2eh.jpg I need to figure out what color I'm going to paint the edges, but I like the look of the Agrellan Earth and Astrogranite combo. Nuln & Agrax washes, Zandri Dust dry brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Wow, that looks incredibly realistic. I've seen it used before, but that's probably one of the most realistic applications I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 It's the washes and the dry brushing. Before that was ready to scrap the stuff. All I did was follow the tutorial here: http://spikeybits.com/2016/04/quick-easy-urban-wasteland-bases-tutorial.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 yeah, that's a nice easy and very good looking urban wasteland base there i think that just a few bits or chunks of concrete bricks etc or the odd half skull and some ammo brass could just pop nicely with this(for character bases to stand apart a wee bit ) im writing this one down for the idea's book , Thanks for sharing TG Mithril PS maybe stick with black for the bases, it will contrast well with the black marine/urban grey brown base/black rim.. it will look professional too and won't date like the old Goblin green bases of the 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I've been thinking about painting it black. It was Vallejo Game Air Earth, it's now Adeptus Gray. I'm thinking a black gray would be nice. My Ultramarines, Deathwatch, and their Xenos opposition will all be based the same before it's over.

MithrilForge Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Charcoal ?... oh also , Dullcote sealer on that agrellan...i used martian iron earth on my Skitarii and it really needs sealing or it will eventually crumble off ...Trust me Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Duly noted. I've been looking for a good excuse to buy a bottle of the AK Interactive dull coat. Supposed to be the BEST matte coat on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Apart from Testor's DullCote... Let me know how you go? is the AK for your airbrush or a can?... i tend to shy away from AK since they Shafted Mig Jimenz (the brains behind AK in the first place) anywho...thats beside the point.

Thunder_god Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm with you there. I have more Ammo of Mig than AK, but I have a good friend who raves about their Dullcote. I'll airbrush it on. Or I'll just stick with my trusty old Testors. Have you ever thinned it with 91% isopropyl alcohol? If not, give it a go. It's by far the best stuff I have ever thinned it with. Just make sure it's the Testors bottle with the purple label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vel'Cona Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Back on track! My first experience with Agrellan Earth has been a positive one: I need to figure out what color I'm going to paint the edges, but I like the look of the Agrellan Earth and Astrogranite combo. Nuln & Agrax washes, Zandri Dust dry brush. I love the basing texture paints. They've made finishing models and getting great basing results easy. The price tag is a little high, but compared to buying basing grit, PVA glue and other nonsense it seems to work out pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 The armor is pretty much done on the rest of this squad my vow. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/1E81EF92-E4D9-4879-99CD-328D9F0BDA6F_zpsorzqdqy6.jpg I might have to work on a few spots here and there, but I'm getting there.

Thunder_god Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Tonight's update: the metallics are blocked in. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/7029CA7A-EA1D-410C-AC5F-4636D8C0352E_zpsvbk6dcqy.jpg Thank you the questions and feedback. It dawned on me tonight that when these are finished, it will be the first COMPLETE squad that I have painted in I don't know how long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yeah i noticed some nice looking marine heads appearing here too i'll be keeping an eye on "bionic eyed baldy man"... glad to hear your enthused enough to get a squad done and as you say, the first in a while ...salute! good sir.

Prot Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Nice progress and agreed on the nice choice of heads. I'm finding in my own squads that adding some non-helmeted heads a little more often than I normally do seems to help break it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yeah, deathwatch has my mojo going. I haven't built a complete army in ages. I want to game with a fully painted force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder_god Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Here's a close up of "bionic eye baldy man". I like that. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/E1B6D7B6-4D3C-4871-8074-C29EA4FEE867_zpsakfs5hcs.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/34B22865-3E39-494E-A132-3F3887D79A7C_zpsaeha7hev.jpg I don't know if a Crimson Fist seconded to the Deathwatch would keep his red gauntlet, but BEBM is!

MithrilForge Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Here's a close up of "bionic eye baldy man". I like that. I don't know if a Crimson Fist seconded to the Deathwatch would keep his red gauntlet, but BEBM is! He's looking great and really who's going to tell him he can't keep it ... i bet he'd just keep dipping it into the blood of xenos scum just to keep it stained red (i'm sure some xeno types have red blood ) ... "Brother BErBauM, why are you shuto-knife handing those xeno's instead of using your chainsword?"... "Gaarrrr!!, i told you if you didn't let me paint my fist red what would happen...but Noooo you DeathWatch and your Emo Black....You know nothing Sgt Snow!"... look forward to finished product!!

Prot Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Very nice clean job on that Crimson Fist. I think I'll build one since my last game with Orks was so nasty. I could use the expertise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 That was my fluffy reason. He survived Rynns World. He knows how to kill greenskins. That and I've always wanted to paint a few Crimson Fists. Blame the old 3rd edition codex cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
