Psilence Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Progress on one of the priests. Got all the base color down pre wash. Gonna try a radiating energy effect on the staff right below the eagle and toward the bottom. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psilence Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Complete. Im happy with the subtle energy at the ends of the staff, but would love to get a hold of a good air brush and do a 'glow'. Its about to get stormy on the tables :) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainA Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Man, that pre/post wash is such a dramatic difference! Love it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah, GW advanced my painting abilities considerably when they released the washs. I'm addicted to nuln oil :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I had a few minutes to work on some hobby'ing and decided to put some paint to plastic. Heres some pre wash of the first TDA. More to come. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Post wash I'll probably add some face tattoos at some point, just to scruff him up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'd also bring the edges of the Wolf Claw blades back up a bit. Doesn't have to be much, but a little bit of a highlight there can really help to sell the "Power Weapon" concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The claws will end up with a 3 step gradient and a white highlight. Similar to the sword effect, but with finer steps to the blues. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Completed. These guys should look good in big packs. For now though he'll have to lone wolf it for a bit. Happy Friday! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 One of his brothers. Just a little progress on the base colors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Base colors and a wash on the big dakka. And the start of number 3. I'm looking forward to using these guys as pack leaders until their numbers are sufficient for a Logan wing style list. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psilence Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Finished up the assault cannon. You'll note the 'tat' SD :) Progress on the claw. Hope everybody has a good week. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psilence Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Progress on the next pack mate. Base colors and the wash. I found an old pot of deneb stone and used it for his hair. Feels like a good fit. Wash is still wet (I was excited). :) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremmet Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I love the work, and I don't want this to be taken the wrong way, but that edge highlight on the gray is waaaaaay too stark. Dial it back a bit especially if you're going to use it all over like I'm seeing in these pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 In the close ups I agree, it stands out a lot. At games distances (3' +\-) I like the edge definition. Also, I like other people's opinions. The variety is a good thing. Example of a non zoomed shot. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 That army shot definitely makes it look better. I'd still probably dial it back and use a warmer gray for the highlight, but I think at that point I'd just be counseling you to do it the same way I did back when I painted wolves. Still a cool army either way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 As another SW player who has an army that looks great at 3 foot distances, I approve of the technique! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Having failed to complete my January models, and realizing that life will keep piling up, I'll change the thread to a wolf WIP one. I'll continue to work on the TDA from before, but have expanded into some other projects that were shiny and diverted my attention. First up is one of two (his borg designation) blizzard dreads. He's mag'd at the arm/wrist joints for swaps, although the elbow is pretty rough. I may 'fur' over the spot to hide it. Second is a little wolf 'counts as' custodes jet bike action. To be honest the rules on paper look silly fun, visually I'm hoping the 'wolf' well. Story is a 30k Great Co. re-emerges from the warp with some of the old fun toys. The MKIII should help a little. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
