How much of your army is painted now? By the way how do you feel about how you are painting the boltgun metal bits?

And..I got 2 HWS, 2 PCS and my CCS with 3-4 guardsmen done on the side on that colour pattern, I got 2 "typical" Cadian coloured infantry squad at my mother's house, just that they were done years ago and they are bascially blogs of skin coloured paint wearing clothing so not too good comparded to my current army. « Last Edit: Mar 1, 2012, 8:35am by raymondjex » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged emptyhat WARLORD member is offline Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,392 Location: Gillitie Wood Re: My Painted HQ « Reply #27 on Mar 1, 2012, 9:44am » I was just wondering because in one or two of the pictures (I'm mostly thinking of the rear view of the lascannon) it looks a little flat. Personally I found that a 50/50 mix of Chaos Black/Boltgun drybrushed with Boltgun, washed with Badab Black and then drybrushed again with Boltgun (a set up I borrowed from one of GWs paint guides) works quite nicely.

I painted a few troops which are on my wiki site (link in previous posts) then i took a break to make a mini for our Void-Master player in our Rogue Trader Game. He started with a best quality cybernetic arm and, after a critical that left him handless, he bought another best quality cybernetic arm I'm pretty happy about how he turned out, especially the camo on the pants « Last Edit: Mar 26, 2012, 9:25pm by raymondjex » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged raymondjex Guardsman member is offline Joined: Aug 2011 Gender: Male Posts: 75 Re: My Painted HQ « Reply #31 on Mar 27, 2012, 1:15pm » My..all those views and no comment?

I actually follow the 'old' technique found in the 'how to paint citadel miniature' book with a little modification. The book talks about 3 coat of paints for the skin; red flesh, dwarf flesh, highlights Elf flesh. I use Calthan Brown, Tallarn Flesh then highlight Dwarf Flesh, leaving the gaps unpainted for a shadow effect. It gives a darken tone to the skin without the 'flash' red might have. « Last Edit: May 16, 2012, 8:05pm by raymondjex » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged 3ff3ct WARLORD 40k Drunken Master member is offline Why iz da rum all gon?

Right now it looks like an actual conduit for power/lightning/whatever and not as piece of bling that someone would carry to battle to show off. Also, as a side not; marvel at the logistics problems that arise when you design laspistols on one planet, and holsters on another.
