Hey all, Nacho here, I'm restarting my whole FW plog as the last one died from malnourishment. I was going through shit and I just couldn't get motivated to paint or do anything really. But that's all changed!, I'm In the financial situation where I can afford to update this on a weekly or even biweekly basis with new content.
Thanks for reading and have a great day.
Regards, Zoe.
Ps. I'll be adding all my previously painted stuff into this over the next hour or so.
That's a really good, patrician shade of purple you've chosen. I think it's very appropriate for the legion. Are you planning to do any scorch marks on the drop pod from atmospheric entry?
Hey all, I'll be updating this within a few days with an aegis defence line that I purchased from @Deus Mortis. Which should be here soon, which I'm buzzing to add to my collection.
Stirling work, really love the purple, infact I'm jealous of it, loving Fulgrim too and that is a sculpt I'm not a fan of, looking forward to see how the white cloak turns out, as I want to go white for my Lysander mini. And Zoe Libre really works, I like it
Aye, I'd go with the purple mate. I can't imagine the pretty boys of the IIIrd legion being happy with having clashing colours :wink: Although you should use it as an opportunity to do some weathering, since it's actually supposed to get dirty unlike your marines who are above all that nonsense.
Hey all, I'll be picking up another box of tactical marines on Saturday. Until then I'll be finishing the aegis line and the rest of the half built tac squad I already have.
Awesome! The flash might be washing out the colour, but you may want to get some different tones onto that mud, and maybe colour the bullet holes with some form of spot colour; maybe metal, or perhaps a white/cream/grey to suggest something like a plastek, or maybe even ceramite.
Lol I've decided to change the way I paint my EC marimes. Instead of gold trim Im gonna use lead belcher as it looks less overly flashy and doesn't make the purple look dark and boring.
If you wash the gold with Druchii Violet it looks less bright and won't make your purple look as dark, but by all means go with what you like best. I use the trim as a kind of ranking system personally.
As Vaz said, I think the mud needs some more tones to is as right now it looks a little unnatural, whereas a random spackle of light and dark patches will help it see more realistic.
Otherwise, great work so far. Looking forward to seeing that board populated by marines and buildings!
Alright lads and lasses, over the weekend I'm practically going to be living in GW as I want to make some serious headway with this army. I'm going to pick up some tactical marines and the captain model(which I'm going to add some mk3 bits to).
Thanks for reading.
