Space Marine Heroes Lamenters kill team... Slow project.


Recommended Posts

Tail end of last year I painted a single space marine heroes model in the Lamenters colour scheme for a competition, it took 2 weeks...

I said to myself at the time, don't do that again, but I'm an idiot so I'm doing more. It will NOT turn into a whole army. Probably.

I'll use this thread to post updates and keep myself motivated.

I'd forgotten how much I like that particular model. Phenomenal painting. Looking forward to seeing what else you do.

Do you think you'll use them for gaming in Kill Team?

Keep up the good work.

Hi Dallo, I will probably use them to play with yes, though Primaris seem much better in kill team than standard astartes.

Great work man. Especially loving the more dulled-down yellow; looks closer to the imperial armour artwork, whilst remaining very striking. What was your recipe??

Hi JDizzle, thanks very much, I've taken my inspiration mostly from IA Vol 9. Recipe for the yellow is straightforward, but weird. I start with a black primer (yep, for yellow), then airbrush vallejo chocolate brown over it, I add vallejo ivory to the mix and airbrush the modulation on the panels until I'm spraying just very thin ivory. I then use AK interactive ivory (flows better than the vallejo when thinned) to edge highlight, once that's all finished I use the airbrush again to spray on GW Lamenters Yellow until the colour is pretty saturated. The yellow is pretty much done at that point, so I paint all the other details and then come back at the end with an all over gloss varnish and then a pin wash into the recesses with GW Agrax Earthshade Gloss (this stuff is like magic) which puts in the really dark shading in the panel lines etc. and blacklines some of the details to make them stand out (chest aquila etc).

Update, 20th January;

Did a bit more on him this evening, made a start on the chest Aquila, though I think it needs some more work.

Always loved Lamenters, and these look :censored: EXCELLENT! Really digging the left shin marksman markings and checkerboard patterns; stuff like that always adds a level of character/depth that's a big part of the hobby for some folks. Keep it up man!
