Actually surprised at how quick the highlights and details came together. I need to do some final checks and cleanup then the basing and I'm ready to call this big box finished.
With that, all the Leviathan characters are complete!
Fun to do Blood Angels in another color than red. Maybe I should do some Death Company to keep up the variety. I feel like I neglect the special BA units in favor of a BA themed army of normal Astartes units.
Yeah, I didn’t even try to do smooth white for this guy. Pure trickery.
Zenithal prime white over grey; All over Apothecary White Contrast; All over Drakenhof Nightshade (read: blue) Shade; Really heavy “dry brush” Reaper Ghost White (read, slightly blue white); More normal dry brush Reaper Solid White for the edges.
Ideally all the different tones work together to convince you that it is solid white with natural shadows.
Final character from Leviathan is on the table. Trying something experimental and hit all the white armor with blue shade, then tomorrow I will bring it back to a blue-leaning white and hope to leave this as shadows. It worked on Sanguinary Guard wings once, but never tried a whole mini.
Last of the Leviathan squads finished up! I tried to get the veterans to a good step between the red and black for the basic guys and the excess of gold that the big characters get.
Exactly! And the darker tones make it feel like everyone from the humble troops to the honored veterans are just a hair’s breadth away from the black rage.
Using this month's free guy to test my assumptions for doing veteran Blood Angels. Base colors and shade applied quickly. All the brown will become gold eventually.
Nitpicking final details on the Infernus, starting the Strenguard, and the sisters I grabbed off the shelf while looking for a particular magenta because I suddenly thought they couldn't need that many colors.
Wrapped up my Terminators but I haven't sat down to take she photos yet. Picked up the momentum to start the second half of the Infernus and a pile of knives with a lieutenant hidden underneath. Base colors are down, metallics next. NMM or normal metallics on all that knives?
Almost at the end for these terminators. Bases need shade, highlight, details, rim, and Tyranid head. Then two faces and two power swords. Some heat damage on the assault cannon. Final touch ups and I'll call everyone here finished.
Grabbed these from my random second hand marines when the new versions were announced. I'll keep that color scheme for the new scouts when they drop (c'mon new Kill Team box). Looking forward to better jump pack poses.
Also, check out that scale creep between the old scout and the new captain!
Always loved the Warhammer 40k figures and really wanted to get into it (but I know it’s a pretty deep rabbit-hole I can’t jump into at this time).
These two look awesome and can’t wait to see what the end result is going to be. I’m curious if those are from a 3D print or base figure from the shop?
The last Settlement Event from my Kingdom Death weekend was Murder so I grabbed this mini and started it right away when I got home. I think I was too hasty with the primer and it ended up with a gritty effect I didn't intend. Maybe with some layers and blending that will go away.
