Chmur Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Heresy No. Hypocrisy In all seriousness, that’s a great base coat The perks of using an airbrush really. Metallic primer, metallic highlight and then just mix of clear paints by Tamiya, dilluted in few coats. It's however too grainy at the moment, still refinind the technique before I start my 1st HH army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 That's the FW way right? I know for their ksons it's gold base followed by an airbrushed red tint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chmur Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 That's the FW way right? I know for their ksons it's gold base followed by an airbrushed red tint No idea if it's FW way to be honest, saw this method somewhere on reddit and asked how it's done. As far as I know there are 2 methods - one is spraying wash and the other one is using Tamiya Clear paints (I am going Tamiya). Then there was discussion about Tamiya whether to go 1 colour and 2nd colour highlight, or making a mix (I am making a mix). There are as well enamel candy paints in the market (red candies are especially lovely on TS or WB), unfortunately no teal with enough blue tint to my liking. Basically even my result is still way too green, I want them to have more blueish tint - so need to experiement whether I will change the initial mix, or do my extra highlight over this with just blue. Well, anyways, my AL for Horus Heresy is start-up project for 2018 so time will tell. Still plenty of things to paint for Consecrators and I do not mean to abbandon that army any time soon. Quite frankly, if I had classic DA scheme in 40K (or at least some "non-black" successor) I would continue with DA even into Heresy. But since my Consecrators are black, I really cannot bring myself into building another black army - or well, I could, but I do want some variance to my hobby.

Chmur Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 You guys are awfully quick, with end of the month at work and end of the year closing on us, I hadn't even had time to bust out the bitzboxes to think about what sort of character can I do best.

Greenz Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Mines built minus one arm, just need to decide on a weapon. GS is probably half done. Hoping to have him primed by Friday and started painting by the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphid Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Model is built with a very basic paint job.... I found some more bits that really give the model some presence so I'm going to start fitting them tonight! Then it's on to details and working on the base!

Shapeways has delivery date set for 13 - 15, which is plenty of time.I need to add 2-3 weeks to that date, because once it is "delivered" to the address, it has to go through a whole other internal mailing system, then through customs. It's the unfornate part of having to work for your country while in an other country. Mail takes too long. Ill just have to find an alternative to the left shoulder pad. Maybe one of those with all the studs, or something with a Crux terminatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chmur Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 In other news, I have busted out my bitz boxes yesterday and finally got an idea what the gift will be. For me it will be quite challenging project, so I hope I will manage to finish all in time and to my complete satisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chmur Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 After 5 hours of sanding, cutting, dremeling, greenstuffing and puttying I did some gluing, too. Starting to get affraid I bit off more than I can chew, but if I manage to pull it off without compromises, I think it will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I need to stack 3 of them on top of each other, GS a trenchcoat over them and I promise you you will not know the difference. We'll show them Nurglings how it's done! Imperium way.

Chmur Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Well, I am going to technically break my rule about no WIPs... I really hope that certain one of you likes Dr. Seuss... Every Angel in The Rock Liked Christmas a lot... But the Fallen named Faestus, this Fallen, Did NOT! The Fallen hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all, May have been that his heart and love for Lion was two sizes too small. Whatever the reason, His heart or his shoes, He sneaked in The Rock through all locked doors, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
