[WIP] Black Legio Land Raider

"Bring me the Tech Magos thats building our Land Raider."
(Skinny Tech Magos been brought to the front of Daemon Prince)
"You promise me Land Raider, it's been two weeks, where.is.it?"
"My Prince, I....." (get shot in the head, brain matter spray on floor, servitors cleaning up the mess)
"I want my Land Raider to be done in 24 terra hours, see to it."

=============================
Bummer, spent last three days of my holiday painting this... suprisingly, it has more details (especially the lascannon) than I expected, still work in progress, the back side is still black in color~_~ but I think I've yet again overdo the color... at the moment it's just seems too colorful... Chaos God bless when I freehand something on it, it won't be too overwhelmingly distracting.

ps: MY FUCKING BACK IS KILLING ME! (Nggggnnhh)

Kor Phaeron the Word Bearer dude is attending Magacon...

This is my piece for participating Magacon Pewter Demon, was previously planning to do Huron Blackheart but can't really get the finecast at last minute, spent a few day googling cool 40k image and I found the below

(Kor Phaeron the Black Cardinal of Word Bearer)

Okkkkeeyyy, I did some poor man version of Lorgar daemon prince form previously, I just finish reading The First Heretic (though I didn't see this bloke in the book), I don't see why not to use this as a "reference" to kit bash a piece for the convention.... 

Edit (14 Jan 2012) : OMG OMG OMG, LOL, I should have read the book more throughout! Kor Phaeron is in fact in First Heretic and he is Lorgar's foster father... also, this bugger is suppose to be in a terminator armor... wahahaha, big mistake on the conversion below

Next thing I know I was kit-bashing using my left over CSM bits and also the Terminator Lord that I ignore for quite a while... was previously intending to use the terminator shoulder guard to imitate the scale on the image, but figure that I don't want to be accuse of mounting a terminator on a 28mm base, so I stick to normal marine shoulder guard.... ke ke ke ke (the terminator lord's leg even pose the same with the picture... was so tempting to use it...)

Wish me luck, I need a lot of it, as usual, things don't look as bad until you magnify it digitally, damn, there is so many flaw I could spot on hi-res digital photo..LOL

Crack out my poor man version of "Ikea" lamp (brought from Jusco=p) but the photo quality still sucks, I guess the problem is on either my painting skill, my lousy digital camera or... both.

Mr Kor Phaeron in his full glory =D

I've thrown in all I learn over my one year hobby period, OSL, green stuff-ing, washing, highlight, color blending, and a tiny bit of NMM(well.. first time experimenting), so I would consider this piece as my "year end review" as well.. heh.

Forge World Death Guard - Complete.

After lots of distraction, finally completed my last infantry =D (Assuming my current lousy army list doesn't change and I need not to paint my backup infantry model for different weapon loadout or moar dakka)

The second last dude with the "dude, me is pissed, come kiss my chainsword" pose

MY LAST INFANTRY! I choose the only dude with face (my favorite) from forge world death guard piece as my last... spend quite some time to add some extra bling to this fella, triple highlighted all the armor edge =)

Again, play around with some OSL, this time on base, might adopt this technique on the vehicle's search light later....

 As usual, group hug.

Coming up next : gotta spend a week try to sculpt a head for Defiler conversion, but if can't complete it on this week, will prime the chaos land raider black and work on it...

ps: Need 2 moar Rhino, but I'm broke...

Painting Chaos Space Marine Glowing Eyes Step by Step With GW Color Reference

Before you start, you actually need :
1.) Any two tone color, one deeper, one lighter, and also, the most important, skull white.
2.) A fine detail brush, I'm using 000 and 5/0 (I guess it stand for 00000) brush in the guide

This is actually a very basic guide for painting chaos space marine's eyes, I'm going for a glowing kind of effect here... it could be done in a relative short time, I've taken all the pictures while painting in less than 20 minutes time.

I'll be using three type of colors for the guide below : blue, red and green (which I think should suits chaos space marine quite well =P)

As usual, prime black (I've thrown in a bit of Cheradon Granite to the mix)

Go for the "deeper" color using 000 brush, you can actually go pretty sloppy on this stage, a bit color that goes out of column is totally fine.

Now, using the finer detail brush to paint the "lighter" color, be careful and try not to spread the color out of column this time. Selectively pick out the area that you want it to looks more glowy

Last step, use your finer brush to get just a tip of skull white, and highlight the area that you want it to looks like glow. And off we go, voila, your chaos space marine are now having glowing eyes. 

Tips: for applying skull white, just gently brush the white color off on the eye using your brush tip, don't press it too hard (or else the white will be very concentrate and looks dull, the key is : SPREAD AND GENTLY BLEND THE WHITE INTO THE COLOR BENEATH IT), I've found that using this way, you could control the brightness of both eyes, and make it more or less even. It took a few practice to get it right, but it ain't rocket science ;-)

You might ask, how much is "a tip of skull white"... below are the example for your reference...

note that this is actually on a 00000 brush, which basically is just a wee bit.

ps: Don't be afraid if you accidently goes out of column on any stage, you can always cover it up with base color or color on previous stage and go all over again, the eyes is actually tiny, it won't take you too much time to repaint =)

ps2: If you are lazy and wanna do it in two stage, it can be done too, just skip step 2 (the "lighter" color part) and go directly to skull white, truth be told, the different won't be too obvious on a tiny plastic head =__,= (you lazy bugger)

Have fun painting folks! 

Space Hulk - Brother Noctis & Brother Scipio

Spent a week just to churn out this two piece.... This is the first time I thought the picture didn't do my mini justice, normally the photo looks nicer than the real thing...

Brother Noctis

Brada Scipio (his name is too long I dont dare to freehand as how it does behind the rulebook..)

It's a breeze GW attached the painted photo behind the rulebook so we can refer to it and paint... way easier than imagine the color ourself..hehehehe
