Ascanius Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I was planning to try that next after Chris Peach mentioned he does commissars' patent leather boots that way - just black with 'Ardcoat. The main reason I don't want to shade, then drybrush, is that I want the whole thing to be glossy - but I'll experiment with different methods on the last four. I didn't believe I was capable of this when I started doing it, but I'm pleased at how neat (if not exactly perfect) this turned out: Edited March 4, 2018 by Ascanius Pearson73 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Good job on the pauldron. Is the wearer meant to be a Techmarine (it does look like the AdMech symbol), or a Son of Malice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Techmarine. The gunner in the Rhino/Predator kit has the Techmarine cog on his shoulderguard. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Here's the Predator I mentioned I'd stalled on at the start of the thread: (click through for a larger version) I'm calling this finished, mainly for the sake of my own sanity. It's been a frustrating but valuable learning experience. At some point I'll think of a name and paint it on the scroll at the front.

Ascanius Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Test colour scheme for Space Marines to match my tank: I realised recently that everything I paint is green and black, with silver or bone tertiary, so I'm not sure I want to continue down this road, but I don't have any better ideas right now. deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I lkie that color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Thanks! I do like it - but I might need to take a break and paint something completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 That's a nice rich green. I'm always keen for a cold colour pallet. The white Bolter is a nice contrasting element that works really well with deep green. Consider white knees, elbows, or helmet, to tie it in with the scheme a bit more.

Ascanius Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Having today completed the last figure from my Shadespire core set, I've moved on to a new project: The scheme is going to be very similar to this old Sorcerer, which I obtained from a kind poster here and used as a test model: Edited April 23, 2018 by Ascanius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 This first Terminator is finished for now: (click for a larger version) For the weapons, I'm going for "black, but so battered with use that the metal is showing through", with a purple shade on the parts that were always bare metal to show their Warp-touched nature. I might do a pass with Drakenhof Nightshade on the blue armour, since it's lighter than I want, but we'll see. Pearson73 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Nice work, liking the gold you've got there. Will you be sending more Sons to join Chaos in the ETL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Thanks! The gold is extremely simple: basecoat Balthasar Gold, shade Seraphim Sepia, Gehenna's Gold, fine highlight Auric Armour Gold on rivet and sharp corners, plus details like the eyes on the chest and flames on the pauldrons. I'd love to participate in ETL, but my ADHD means I'm very likely to stall or lose interest for weeks or months at a time, and I'd rather not let the gods down! I did end up going over the blue with Drakenhof Nightshade: Edited April 28, 2018 by Ascanius Pearson73 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Just messing around with some spare Space Marines, painting some successor chapters because I can't afford to buy anything new right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascanius Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 I did mention I have ADHD, right? It's not just the fake hobby kind people talk about . . . Anyway, having lost motivation on the Thousand Sons for the time being, I have been working on some Black Legion Raptors and finished the first one tonight: Bjorn Firewalker 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The Black Legionnaires are looking good, Ascanius. I also really like the scheme you used for your Tyranids. Keep up the good work. :tu: Ascanius 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 My Scarab Occult have been "in black and gold reborn", inspired by a) being stalled on painting them in a traditional scheme, b) listening to The Talon of Horus as an audiobook for the first time after having read it two or three times. This first model is not quite finished; I need to finish turning the gem on the belt blue, and obviously base the model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Nice work on the Black Legion warriors, the Raptor's plasma weapon is looking especially good. Ascanius 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascanius Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I'm taking a break from my Horus Heresy Legions project to paint up some of the other Mk III Space Marines from Burning of Prospero with the now-discontinued Legion Volkite Calivers from Forge World, which I bought when they went on Last Chance to Buy. (You can still buy the Telerac Pattern Volkite Culverins, which are also great, but I had specifically had my eye on the Legion version with the exposed vanes for some time.) These models are painted in a Mk III version of my nascent Storm Walkers chapter heraldry, which I envision as a nearly-destroyed chapter reinforced with Primaris Space Marines such that Firstborn Astartes like these are now a minority in the chapter.
