Grey Knight Paladins Part 2

I was able to make some progress on my Paladins.  I really like how the Gold is turning out.  I need to do a wash to the red and I learned a neat way of painting the power cables.  I added some glaze medium to the paint (1:1:1 scarlett red: Blood red: glaze medium, 1:1 Black:Glaze Medium)  it gives a little bit of a rubbery look. Overall They are coming along nicely.  I need to do some touch up to the armor, then wash it and give it a blue tint.  I have their power weapons all taped up for the airbrush :)  More to come.

Grey Knights part1 with Vallejo Air metallics

The air metallics are a little tricky to work with.  I might just not have the right air pressure set on my compressor.  The Vallejo Air Metalic Silver was the only air metallic that I did not have a problem with.  I am pretty happy with how they are turning out sofar.  I have all the other bits primed and ready to be air brushed. 

Blood Angels Tactical Squad

I finally put the finishing touches on these guys.  I decided not to do the 3D chipped paint effect that I tried on one of the models. I'm pretty happy overall with the results.  Next up is Grey Knight Terminators with Vallejo Air metallics.

Finshed Blood Angels Test Mini

I'm pretty happy with the way he turned out in the end.  All in all not bad for not using an airbrush in a long time.  The pigments were easy to use and I like the effect that they added.

It has been too long!  Work has been kicking my butt.  12 hour days are no fun.  Anyways, I finally got around to painting again.  I thought I'd try something simple before i dived back into working on my Dark Eldar.  The assault on Black reach guys have been siting in a box for a long time.  I thought I'd give them a go to get back in plus try out some new techniques.  These pictures were taken with my camera phone, so the quality is so so.  

I airbrushed the all the armor.  I'm pretty happy with the way the red turned out.  I like my models dark.  I started with valljeo grey primer then airburshed black, dark fleshtone, gory red, blood red and then a touch of blazing orange.  I then washed it down with a red shade.  

The next set of pics will have him based with rust pigments applied to the nozzle and pigments applied to the legs and base.

Malifaux - Renegade Steamfitter Johan

So I got in some new Malifaux models and I'm still deciding on what finishing touches to do to the incubi I thought i'd paint something completely different.  This is probably the first non dark model I've ever painted... anyways... I'm pretty happy with the way he is coming out so far.  I still need to do some washes to the skin and some highlights.  Obviously i need to finish up his right arm.  I am airbrushing his  huge hammer so it will have a cool effect.  Then I just need to do some touch ups.  I basically just matched the color scheme thats on the box.  Let me know what you guys think.

Dark Eldar Incubi

Finally had a chance to paint again this weekend :)  I changed the whole grey scale...  I tried again this weekend and just wasn't happy.  I got in touch with Hortwerth who came up with the idea and has a beautiful army http://www.hortwerth.com/?tag=eldar .  you guys should check it out.  He gave me the paint recipes but said he did wet blending.  I thought i could achieve it with the airbrush but I was wrong...  So anyways I came up with this scheme.  I still wanted to do something with a bluish color and came to this.  The model is still far from done but the concept is now on the model.  I tried a new technique out on the sword which I think suits it quite well.  I might be able to get some follow up pics tomorrow if I have time after I work on some Fourier equations.   Let me know what you guys think.
