berzerkmonkey posted:Did you paint over black? If you did, stop. At most, paint red over a brown - reds aren't strong enough to go over a black base. Totally disagree. As long as you do two thin base coats of mephiston red, it can turn out super vibrant. Both my Howling Griffons and my entire Ad Mech army were primed black. Thin ya paints! Two thin coats!

Airbrush your base coat. My guy up there is primed black and sprayed Evil Sunz Scarlet in one coat, then a zenithal of Troll Slayer orange and then my mandatory color of Ratskin Flesh for the lightest zenithal highlight.

+++ THE ROYAL HORNETS +++ All citizens of the hive city Provespa grow up in the shadow of the three great spires. Home to ancient and once noble houses, by the 41st millennium the towers stood only as monuments to the debauched incompetence and corruption of the planetary government. Unsatisfied with his prodigious theft from the imperial tithe, the Governor’s greed eventually drove him and his councillors to consort with the ruinous powers for both otherwordly pleasures and protection from the Emperor’s justice. One early morning while enjoying the former, they found the latter; without warning an Astartes strike fleet arrived in low orbit. As squadrons of Thunderhawk gunships brimming with Marines made planetfall it was clear the Yellow Jackets had arrived to mete out a long needed retribution. Known for swift and punishing surgical strikes, the Yellow Jackets were blindsided by particularly strong anti-aircraft defenses manned by a traitor garrison of Astra Militarum. Forced into an attritional siege of the spires, the Jackets found their smaller tactical force overrun by sheer numbers of traitor Guard and stymied by powerful emplaced guns. In their hour of need, help came from an unlikely place - bands of deserted loyalist Guard, beleaguered Arbites, industrial security forces, and even common citizens and gangers. These irregulars served as a valuable guerrilla force, undermining and sabotaging emplaced defenses, and proving a crucial distraction in the final assault on the Governor’s spire. Elite stormtroopers and even foul servants of the warp - summoned as a final resort by the doomed Governor - were drawn away, allowing the Yellow Jackets to complete their infiltration of the spire. With their leadership dead, the traitors panicked and fled, ultimately falling to the judgment of the Astartes and the dogged pursuit of the diminished irregulars. Shaped by many years of privation under a corrupt government and the unusually harsh nature of life in their city, the citizens, gangers and guardsmen of Provespa proved their worth in urban combat. These qualities were not lost on the officers of the Yellow Jackets who reported their suitability as a recruiting pool for not only elite Imperial troops, but even as potential stock for new Astartes. In the years of the Ultima Founding, this advice was heeded and from the most ruthless, determined, and proud specimens of Provespa’s fighting forces were drawn recruits for the Royal Hornets.  The sigil of the Royal Hornets is a crown inspired by the massive towers which dominate their home, the tallest of which gleams white and free from corruption. Their customary armor is painted a base of common brown, banded with golden accents as both reminder of their humble origins and celebration of their newfound glory. Marines who serve honorably in defense of their brethren are given additional gilding befitting their actions. Gleaming purple helmets, shoulders, and aquilas invoke the royal heritage that has reshaped them in the image of the God Emperor, while their glowing red lenses speak to the ferocity with which they dole out his will.    This guy is inspired by the brown-gold coloration of a Japanese Giant Hornet, with a metallic purple component recommended by Beer (who ended up rocking metallic purple, too, which is awesome). My edge highlighting is a little dodgy, and my hacked together transfers are a little uneven but overall this guy was a ton of fun to do!

Royal Hornets loving own. How did you do the purple? It's gorgeous!Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Also everyone is doing an amazing job. Who else is thinking about making their guys into full armies? I'm trying to figure out how Zone Mortalis works so I can make a small Star Justicars force with shields to use as Breachers. But that's after I finish my AdMech, then my Howling Griffons, then my Ironjawz.

Only issue I have it that I really suck at freehanding so I'd probably have to spring for decals for the tiny, fiddly chapter logo. Or just buy a bunch of those 3d printed gryphons and change the name slightly.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.Zuul the Cat posted:Royal Hornets loving own. How did you do the purple? It's gorgeous! Luckily this is super easy to replicate as I've had really good luck with Testor's airbrushable acrylic metallics. I can't speak to the standard colors but the pearl metallics have surprisingly good coverage and shine - the shoulder pads are 1 brushed coat over black primer. And true to their name, I've had no problems pushing them through my Patriot 105.

Those hornets are loving awesome, excellent color choices and placement. Really like the insignia and fluff. When it comes to colored metallics, scale75's alchemy paints are also a great choice. I've been impressed with those I've used thus far.

Here's my progress for tonight on my test model's base coat. Don't plan on using the auto bolt rifle Lt much if at all, so testing it out on him first so I can make mistakes. Man, the ironhull grey showing through on the edges isn't even visible to me in person, weird. I went over the mini with ironhull grey in places that the zenithal didn't hit so I'm not painting straight on black primer. Anyway a few errant paint spots to clean up, those edges to clean up, and I need to figure out what I'm going to do for the purity seal. Any advice on it so far? Thinking I'll make their helmet crest a white stripe, any thoughts on that? chutche2 fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Aug 2, 2017 |

Once I saw how the Deathclaws actually came out, I decided to do an army(well that, and it seemed like a waste to come up a backstory and such as well) Just need to eBay a million sets of Lightning Claws from the Calth box. Just have to work out what Dark Imperium needs. Other than more dakka.

wip shots of my death slayers big boy    excuse the less than stellar photo job, not really set up for it first gw model ive put paint to in around 15 years. first time trying edge highlighting, not really sure how to do the shoulder pads, especially the rounded upper portion also color ideas for the metallic bits, eye lenses, pouches and soft armor would be welcome. im banned from using for the chapter symbol, im either thinking a skull with some kind of sword or axe embedded in it, or a as an homage to its inception on this dead gay forum
