As far as the wings go, for right now, I am actually thinking of going with the traditional purple/blue colours that Tzeentch models tend to have.

Just one pointer, you dont want the model to smoothly transition together too much, you still want some contrast to catch the eye, you can do this with the wings pretty easily and then people's eyes will be cought by the look of your model alot more, the key is to not over do the contrast and still have flow to the model, a ballance...well unless your slaanesh... then all that goes down the window and you go crazy with colors... anyways hope that helps wraith

Woow, how did I miss this beauty moving along another stage of painting. Looks great wraith, also fun to finally see this mini in another colourscheme than black. I particulary like how the symbol on his chest fits in and stands out at the same time :wink:

Any thought yet as to what colours you'll be using for the wings?

 

[The Wraithlord]

Right now I am thinking of going with the traditional blue/purple colours of Tzeentch for his wings. I was also thinking of painting the armor plates he has in the same colour as my Tson troop model but I am starting to fell like that would be too much blue really.

 

[DaemonsR'us]

i would go with a silver for the plates, maybe a rustic bronze you just need to have something in the model to pop out, or else your going to have alot of blue and purple that just looks like it almost smears together, and as for the wings, look at some dragons wings. somtimes you'll find that the underside of the wings are much lighter then the outerside, dunno to me the wings really should stand out on this model, and unless its like a lighter color, seems like it really would just be too much blue or blue/purple shade

Very nice stuff Wraith - I like the silver blue idea - be very nice link to the rest of the army - especially seeing as he's not very 'techy'. You get what I mean?

 

[Ordo Xeno Commander]

gah...

(closes mouth)

wow, nice stuff wraith, looking foward to seeing the rest of it

 

[The Wraithlord]

Ok, painting and re-assembly of my Tsons models has been on hold for the building of this beast. Wip so far with a fair bit of greenstuff to go on it as well.

Didn't take pics of it but the two side sponsons are also magnetized to the side of the hull. Makes for easy removal while still holding tightly during use.

 

[lord marcus]

woot! everyone but me has a baneblade! woot!

 

[Jacobite]

Nice stuff mate. Love the orgyn head on the spikes. Is going to be Tratior Guard or Fellblade?

 

[The Wraithlord]

Not sure of the difference actually Jac.

 

[Jacobite]

Ah right I'm not entirely sure myself - I assumed it depends on how you were going to work it into your army - but if I accutally think about it - It doesn't really matter. Crew member basically?

 

[Ezekial Lightning]

Looks cool i like the prince and the ogryn head. Traitor guard or fellblade?

 

[The Wraithlord]

Whichever one would be more likely to be backing up the Thousand Sons

 

[DaemonsR'us]

A chaos fellblade thats Tsons would probably be a baneblade with daemonic possesion and possibly a sorcerer commanding it like a yarrick fort. of arrogance, but the fellblade is a SM baneblade BS4 with machine spirit and SM upgrades for pintle weapons and HK missle and command tank upgrades i think, but yeah like i said before a Tsons baneblade would probably be a daemonic possesed baneblade with its main cannon like a bolt of change 5" blast templet or something along those lines, but thats just my thoughts on it

 

[Ezekial Lightning]

Tsons can kick space marines around with AP3 so if they had a 5 inch blast cannon AP3 template it would be devastating.

 

[The Wraithlord]

Started back in on my daemon prince and wanted to get opinions on the way the wing is turning out. Something about it has me dissatisfied.

It is only partially done obviously but something about the highlights is not right to me. Right now I am thinking that there is too much highlighting and that they should be only in a few high spots as opposed to as much as I have done. Any suggestions, something I might be missing?

 

[Warpath]

Great thread Wraith maybe i'll do the same for my Khorne army.

I'm loving the D/P this model is fantastic the skin is good i like what you have done, but the wings well there is something about them that doesn't grab me and i'm looking at the pic trying to think what it is ....... right, if i was painting this i'd make the inner sections of the wings alot darker. Also i'd darken up the horns where they conect to the head then using the same colours i'd hight light the wings but only at the tips.

But this is me and i'm sure you'll come up with away that will be excellent.
The thousand son looks great too.

Warpath

EDIT...second tjhoughts just darken up the wings and get rid of the bright highlights, just had another look at it.

 

[Damned Fist]

Awesome, as usual. I like the highlights on the wings..., the only thing that I would like to see is the bone details that you picked out here and there on the body also depicted on the wings. Perhaps the protrusions on the very top of the model???k:
Keep it up!

 

[Ezekial Lightning]

Nice highlighting im still not good at that and it looks great Well ill probably get into it when i start my chaos.:smile:
