TrawlingCleaner Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi, this will be the start of my WIP thing. It'll include WIPs of what I'm currently doing, mostly between my Dark Eldar and my new army: Sons of Orar. I've started these guys for the Fate of Konor campaign at my local GW store. I'm not a great painter but hopefully I will be able to improve with some helpful tips from you guys and most importantly: Practice. I have started with a test on a tactical marine and I have come up against my first two problems; the british weather and bumpy surfaces on shoulder pads. It was warm and sunny when I went to undercoat the first squad and as soon as I left, the wind picked up and got a little bit colder. It's not hugely visible but there are bubbles in the undercoat in some places. The shoulder pads are from Shapeways which I bought about a year ago and I didn't realise the texture of them isn't right until I started painting. 20170728_152614 20170728_152625 20170728_152638 20170728_152703 C&C very welcome EDIT: I'm just going to use normal shoulder pads and either use transfers or brass etchings from forgeworld.

TrawlingCleaner Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 I have finished another tactical marine. It's still WIP and would appreciate C&C 20170730_113619 20170730_113644 20170730_113655 20170730_113703 And I also replaced the custom Shoulder pad, on the first marines, with a normal pad which I think looks a lot better 2017-07-30_11-38-37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrawlingCleaner Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Captain is mostly done, just need to finish a couple of things off. Hopefully it's not too colourful. C&C greatly appreciated 20170806_195117 20170806_195129 20170806_195139 20170806_195202 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Unfortunately motivation hasn't been too high so I haven't really painted any more than I have. I have managed to build a contempter dread and Sicarius + Tiberius proxies. I absoultely love the old libraian sculpt and I'm suprised that it still holds up against the newer models, height wise. 20170817_160133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 I've finally finished the last of the first tactical squad and I've undercoated the contemptor dread and the two characters. 20170819_134522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlanders_luke Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 It's a shame about the shoulder pads but a good at art none the less. I agree with you about the old librarian, looking forward to seeing him painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 I have started on the Librarian and wanted some C&C on the colours. I'm thinking of highlighting the armour with light blue into white. 20170819_190609 r 20170819_190616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 The First tactical squad are completed and ready to go, just need to be based and a few touch ups. The Sicarius conversion has been started still a long way to go. 20170820_131015 20170820_131025 20170820_131029 20170820_131124 20170820_131131 20170820_131139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Very little progress so far, the whites are mostly done on Sicarus and I think that the Blue is pretty much done on the Librarian 20170830_180249 20170830_180311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Progress! Finally. The Sicarius count as is mostly done, I just need to tidy some things up and do a couple more highlights. The cape needs more washes to be darker and some highlights too. 20170901_195913 20170901_195922 20170901_195929 20170901_195937 Probably the model I'm most proud of so far. Any pointers on this would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 The Captain looks great! What name will you give him? "Sicarius Bickle, First Captain of the Sons of Orar, namesake of the Honorable Cato Sicarius"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Sicarius is looking good. You should be feeling proud. I would recomend a was under the eyes and around the mouth to add a little more depth to the face. I think the cloak is looking good buddy. Maybe look at adding a wash to recesses on the metals instead. Great looking piece though. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 The Captain looks great! What name will you give him? "Sicarius Bickle, First Captain of the Sons of Orar, namesake of the Honorable Cato Sicarius"? I, CATO SICARIUS... I'm not sure what I'll call him. I'll be continuing with the Roman-Greek theme that the Ultras have. In the 7th ed Codex there was an example of a Vet Sgt of the Sons of Orar called Decimus or something similar, so I might use something like that. Sicarius is looking good. You should be feeling proud. I would recomend a was under the eyes and around the mouth to add a little more depth to the face. I think the cloak is looking good buddy. Maybe look at adding a wash to recesses on the metals instead. Great looking piece though. Keep up the good work. Thanks man, I gave the undereyes a couple of washes of carrosberg crimson to give him some depth and also coloured the sword node blue and washes the sword with blue a couple of times. I'll try get some pictures up when I get back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Stray_Idea Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 That wash has done a lot to make the face more of a focal point. Great work. The plasma burns are a nice touch too buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I've finished the Tigurius count-as, I'm happy with how he turned out. All I need to do is base him and he's done. Maybe some tidy ups here and there. C&c very welcome 20170914_180852 20170914_180906 20170914_180952 20170914_181015 And here's the two characters together: 20170914_182314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've just gotten another camera so I'll be posting some better pictures that show better detail, the only downside is that I now spot so many more mistakes. Oops... I'll be starting work on more of my dark eldar tomorrow hopefully and hopefully start on some vehicles. Progress on my Sons of Orar has slowed considerably as I seem to have caught the AoS deathrattle bug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
