I miss new stuff from you ;-/

I'll be working on a truescale thousand son army starting next week. Looking at 2000-2500 points. Using some of the paints/painting techniques you have used.

Actually, I was started on the Lash sorc tonight, only to have it come to a crashing halt right off the bat. Seems I missed a couple of seams on the tail section of the boobsnake and I have to go back and gs them smoothly before I can paint it. Going to go UBER paint on it as it is now just going to be a display piece.

Go wraith and uber boob snake :victory: :laugh: good luck and looking forward to to seeing the WIP

 

[1k-termie]

Well, then that makes much more sense, Wraith. Thanks!

 

[Bloodhound]

Man iv'e creamed my pants!

Thats two pants crewed Vash cause I think I just did as well.

Wraith. You're paying for my dry cleaning bill. I'm wearing my good jeans.


Also, please do a full scale tute on the source lighting. Pweese? -puppy dog eyes-
I mean a detailed one with little to no drybrushing? Cause IMHO, drybrushing leaves you with no feeling of self pride cause it's so easy to do. Unless it's a countless amount of bases you're painting.

Pweese?:angel:

 

[The Wraithlord]

More often than not, OSL is done by drybrushing Blood, sorry.

I have been looking at this model trying to figure out what I didn't like about it and it finally hit me. I have the wrong weapon arm on him and I forgot to put his shield on the pistol arm. I have a longer grey knight force weapon that I am going to switch out with the current one and the shield will be added to look like it is one with the gun.

 

[idlebrain]

on what, the boob snake?

 

[The Wraithlord]

I posted this in the main modelling section as well but the more input the better.

Alright, here is the deal. I run a squad of Tzeentch Icon marines with my Thousand Sons army and I am -really- uncertain how to paint them so my question is this: should I paint them in the same colour scheme as my Tsons or should I paint them slightly different, still blue and gold but perhaps not the metallic colour the actual Tsons are. I would really appreciate everyones input on this one as I just can't decide.

idlebrian: yeah on the boobsnake rider.

i posted this response already in your other tread but i'll put it up here to:

tough decision...i would stick with the metallic colour, but that's mostly because i like it so very much on your other figures. i was thinking, since they're carrying the tzeentch icon, why not give them a sort of greenish magic glow instead of (or in addition to) the reddish lava glow the others have? in that way you a) keep the beatiful metallic b) make the different enough to mark them immidiately out as "special". you could model a sort of small warp-vortexes on the base where the glow is coming from or (and that's a lot more difficult i realise but i have full confidence you're a good enough painter to pull it off without any difficulties) use the icon itself as the origin point of the glow, bathing all marines surrounding it in it's spooky magical glow...

good luck and i'm looking forward to the results, whatever they wil be!

 

[Blood God]

Well i feel you should paint them differrent. Pehaps well, dulling the TS paint scheme a little :O Keep up your freakishly good work!

 

[Damned Fist]

Haven't been any pics in a while..., any updates?

-As per your question: I still say keep them in the same colours. They will be differentiated by the headdress'.:wink:

The lava bases are courtesy of Damned Fists tutorial found here: http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6410

 

[geza55]

Coo ta. Dat'll look beast on me looted kans! Bwa ha ha!

 

[The Wraithlord]

Ok, time for a LONG overdue update. First off, pics of the finished (minus the base) Tzeentch Daemon Prince.

Now some pics of the Tzeentch marines. I want the Icon marines to look similar to yet different from the actual Thousand Sons to show that the more ornate armour belongs on the actual Legion troops. The idea is that any others in the army that are NOT actual Tsons are initiates working their way up to becoming true members of the Legion. Anyway, some wips:

 

[Red Corsairs]

Great Deamon Prince Wraithlord! Love the idea and the rich Blue colours I am really liking. Nicely painted!

The marines looking good too.

 

[moo]

Im loving the work dude, it all looks really good so far. Are you going to do lava bases like with your 1ksons?

 

[Green Knight]

outstanding work as all ways Wraithlord, + rep

 

[Damned Fist]

It's great to see these coming along so well. The Tzeentch marines that are posted here don't really give you a good idea of how nice these models actually are in person. To see them in hand is amazing! At our local GW store people ALWAYS comment on how good Wraiths army looks.

Keep up the great work Wraith:victory:
