guess what , that was Black Undercoat!

lol

The only time it's feasible imo, is where the model is 80%+ armour ....

Quickbeam's posts refute this. I'm getting fantastic results with black undercoat. I'll send pics eventually!

I need some1 to prove to me that black under coating works

Sorry to jump on late mate, but black undercoat works for me. I use it for bringing up metallic and silvery armour parts; when I need bright colors I simply cover the target areas with an additional layer of thin white undercoat after the drybrushing - something you need to do for the adjoining parts after drybrushing anyway.

Great figure! I had him at one time...but have lost him to the mists of time...

You PJ is top notch...the angle of the shield looks a little odd though...

Cheers,

I think a lot of the models from back then had variations on a theme. I can see why, 3 models for the efffort of scultping 1 and a half

Fetching lad!
The guy with horns looks great too! Even though I must say that the armour pops out a lot more on the chap you undercoated black...

The skin tones on your Norse looks great, not so sure about the blue helmet on the big guy though.

Is your celestial H a conversion With the base of a war altar or am I just going half mad?

Edit - no, I think it just took you painting your celestial h red for me to notice that the war altar uses the same carriage as the luminark / celestial. MIND FUCKiNG BLOWN!

chad3 · « **Reply #3068 on:** August 22, 2012, 05:31:58 AM »

this is an inspiring thread you've got going. i do have one question about your reikland spearman unit back on the first page. I'm borrowing a couple of your ideas for my reikland army and I wanted to know how you painted those red shields or the colors (if you vaguely remember). it really contrasts well with the white on the uniforms.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #3069 on:** August 22, 2012, 07:22:17 AM »

always a mechrite deep red, then washed brown and highlighted with blood red

kwest · « **Reply #3070 on:** August 26, 2012, 11:31:08 AM »

These old models really are quite dynamic. It would be interesting to try recreate them and their poses by converting current plastics. I imagine quite a bit of repositioning would be required!

The observable universe is expanding into an infinite space , it's now fact...

I'm a bit gutted.

I was somehow hoping that the whole shooting match would prove to have a finite size, it makes more sense to the human brain...

Have a watch gents, it's very relevant to Warhammer.
