Not much to say really except I'm much happier with the scheme now. Part of the reason it took so long to paint was the lack of inspiration i got from the scheme, but I pushed through, and I really like it now.
This is the first time I've tried the blue heat effect on the melta, and I like it but, but might try and make it alittle more subtle next time.
Anyway, enough blather, heres the rest of the pics
Excellent work. I really like the colours you've chosen.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, there's not a lot of wiggle room in the colour scheme since its set by FW, but the weathering I think gave me some nice scope to play with effects on those colours.
Deletewhat colours did u use????? and how did u use them.
DeleteZac: I used a mix 75:25 of Vallejo Panzer aces USMC tankcrew:GW Astronomicon grey as the base coat, laid down with an airbrush.
DeleteFor highlights I used a 50:50 mix of the same (through the airbrush too), then straight grey line highlights, before adding the chipped weathering with a sponge, using the grey first, then chardon granite.
Oils and pigments to taste.
Hope that helps some.
DROOOLLLLL
ReplyDeleteBOOM!
That's all I can say.
Cheers mate :)
DeleteOne thing I have noticed since looking at these photos is that flatness of the eye of Horus, I'll have to redo that one with the airbrush at some point.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like the uncluttered look of the scheme. With all the weathering it has plenty of depth.
