EDIT: Edited for phone grammar and ginormous pictures.

Howdy, while painting my test "Smik" for my Sunbros, I realized I am not sure what to do for the bases. Thinking a dark brown with tan or bone highlights to contrast and ground their gold primary color. Thoughts?

[Nomus Sardauk]

If only I could be so grossly incandescent... :lol:

Wanna become a follow up irder of my Wardens of Light in the Brotherhood of the Lost - Universe? Somehow I find them veeeeeeeeery fitting.

 

And good the color scheme looks good.

 

Go for the dark base. I used dark brown plus snow to contrast my golden marines.

 

Will you always use thst metal base? A dark steel comored base could be qorking here to but would raise the amount of shiny a bit^^

 

 

Praise the sun

Excellent work.

EDIT: Edited for massive images.

So here's the base: decided to do dark brown, stippled orange for rust, a black wash, then tried a metal drybrush which looked sloppy so i replaced it with a careful black-and-silver stipple. Need to clean up the black rim once everything is dry and I can seal.

PRAISE THE SUN!

Good start. Nice gold. What have you got planned for the army as a whole?

 Thank you, the gold is Tamiya TS-21 Gold Spray for plastics, with some Auric Armor Gold (I think) for highlights, and some flesh wash for shading.

 

As for the army, I am not sure 100% composition-wise except that I intend to be on the shooty, armored side with some dedicated assault units for priority targets (just made a ten-man vanguard squad for just such a thing). Color-wise, more of the same. I thought about painting sergeants and heroes differently somehow, but I might just leave that up to the bitz I use.

Today I added a Librarian to my army. I also have a captain and a unit of vanguard (nothing special, I'll do pics of them later). He is converted out of the Betrayal at Calth chaplain. Did a smooth shoulder pad plus some cables from a spare lightning claw for the hood, and some chopping for the force weapon. This is still in the rough stages: he has yet to be cleaned up and smoothed out.

[That Guy Matt]

He looks pretty cool. What did you use for the sword hilt?

[Honda]

Um...I think I'm going to borrow this idea...for a friend. I like what you did with the crozius and the head swap is excellent looking.

 

I won't make mine my friends, a witch though.

 

Play on!

[feuer_faust]

Thanks, the sword is just the Betrayal at Calth crozius with a power sword cut down to fit in the gap.
