81. A Road To Glory. Bang Bang Bang Bang. Sisters of Battle Part 19.

  We're keeping this train rolling... think the train from FFVII going around the central pillar in Midgar. Like that.

Anyway, more painting has been done.

Once I'd finished those Lampposts I just picked up the next project on the project tray I had from when I was last painting.

That project was my Sisters of Battle Aegis Defence Line Quad Gun.

If you don't remember what it looked like, you can scroll back through the pages, or click the 'A Road to Glory' label to see all of my Sisters of Battle blog posts

Alternativly, you can just go here - http://theunderhiveh...ll-sisters.html

Anyway.
I just started layering the various colours; Purple, Green, Gold and Bone.

Here is where I'm at;





With a bit more light




Cameras never really pick out highlights very well, that being said it is quite light and subtle.
It still pops a lot more than it used to.

Almost done.
I just wnat to pick out some details, maybe add a couple of highlights, and find the clear plastic bubble screen thing to go on the front.


Another update down!
Next stop = ?

Until then

74. Team D-Ork. Base = Done. Let the Layers Commence. Blood Bowl part 6.

Hello sports fans. Prepare to be generally disappointed!
Unless you are a fan of production line painting, in which case, huzzaaah!

While I wait for an opportunity to go out and get some Agrellan Earth to paint the cracked effect on my crashed Aquila (see previous post), I've been cracking on with my Ork Blood Bowl team.
So, enjoy!

First batch of picture is just base layers.

A quick silver drybrush;



Base layers of Mechrite red, Calthan/ Scorched brown and Fenris grey;



Painting the tabbards Khemri brown/Dheneb Stone;




Moving on to the first layers.
I do these before my initial shading wash to touch up anywhere I messed up on the base layers and to give the colours a bit more depth.

So the first step was the red. 50/50 Mechrite Red + Scab Red;



Then it is on to the biggie. The green.
A 1:1:1 mix of Orkhide shade, Knarloc green and Dark Angels green



Haven't finished the greens yet, so that, along with the other first layers will be the next port of call for the Blood Bowl updates.
A long way to go as after shading it lots of layers and highlights and details.
But it is starting to take shape =]

Once these guys are done I'll have to go back to the human team!
And/or all the other projects I have that are being ignored...
We'll see.

Leave some feedback, stories, tips/tricks and constructive criticisms if you so desire.
You can comment on the relevant post, or hit me up @DarkHaZZl3 on Twitter.

Until next time, thanks for reading

70. MOAR layering. 40k Urban Terrian. Crashed Aquila part 3.

Hey guys. MOAR painting.

You can't tell from the pictures if I'm honest, but this has been several layers of black > grey and several layers of dark > lighter red. Both hit with a black and red wash respectively



Here is a closer picture that shows off the layers a bit better...



Wash leaves a little residue on large flat surfaces...so I'll be going back to 'scuff' it up a bit.

A fair bit left to do;
Base,
Metals,
Damage,
Details and embellishment.

That's all for this update. After the sheer amount of time I spent painting it so far I kinda hoped I'd have more to write.. but I really don't.
Painting large models is tedious...

Anyway
Peace out
