Hi guys!

Now I'm well and truly underway with my Blood Angels I thought I'd start a project log to show everyone my WIP. Comments/criticisms very welcome, keep checking back for (hopefully!) regular updates!

 

[ntaw]

Rockin'. I look forward to seeing your reds! k:

 

[Gorthol]

here's my 1st test model with red power armour...

Base of Mephiston red, followed by a wash of heavily watered down Rhinox hide, followed by another layer of Mephiston red, washed with Carroburg crimson then a light drybrush of Mephiston red, (highlights to come tommorow when my eyes aren't tired!)

What do we all think?

 

[Jace of Ultramar]

I'm curious to know how the can of Budweiser fits in with your painting

 

[Gorthol]

Haha, 'this the season Jace!

Had an evening without the girlfiend so cracked a beer, put Iron Maiden on and did some modelling!

That sounds like a great way to have a good evening!

It's almost as important as the brush!

Something I'm just getting the hang of now is Lahmian Medium from GW. You can use it to thin paints down for better blending, or go further and create your own washes/glazes with it. Might give you less trouble than using water since water doesn't mix quite as well.

 

[Gorthol]

Thanks ntaw, I'll have to get some of that, sounds handy :good:

No arguments to be had from me on that notion! I usually prefer Whiskey when painting though. :biggrin:


How's the project going, @Gorthol ?

 

[Gorthol]

Well Jace It's coming along, steadily but not at a rapid pace i'll admit, used to bash out minis at a quick rate but I've been out of the game for a couple years so just taking my time. got 5 tactical marines with the armour finished ready for detailing, same with 2 death company marines and the death company dread, hopefully i'll get chance to do some more work on them tonight and I'll get some pictures up!

If you could post some pictures, that would be great! I enjoy WIP pics as a project moves along.

 

[Gorthol]

I'll do my best!

Should be able to, looking forward to getting some more done tonight!

Watch this space!!

What are you working on at the moment Jace?

At the moment, not a thing. I'm taking a breather after finishing up my Father's chess set I gave him for Christmas. However, after the new year, I'll be back into hobby mode and knocking out projects like Imperial Knights, Dark Eldar, Tau, Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, etc...

 

[Gorthol]

Nice, I'll look forward to seeing them!

 

[Jace of Ultramar]

I'm looking forward to starting them.

 

[Tawa]

That's a nice shade of red you've got going. Looking forward to seeing your projects progression.

 

[Gorthol]

Thanks @Tawa wanted to go for a little darker than normal and think it looks it, (well it does in reality more than that pic)

Hopefully I can get on with more this evening (currently stuck at work!!) And get some more pictures up! :victory:

 

[Gorthol]
