Silver Skulls Space Marines

Volchek beat me to the question!

Your Silver Skulls look amazing. Great clean crisp paint job. I'm a fan of simple colour palettes (partly cos I prefer not to mix paints) and these are an excellent example of how a simple straight-forward palette can look incredible.

Cheers for the kind words

The shoulder pads are from GW online shop, the skulls are a bit large but they do the job

Greetings Daismith906!

Ich habe mich in deine Silver Skulls verliebt!(I fell in love with your Silver Skulls)

They are superb!

Can you make me a Paintig Tutorial how you Painted and washed/shaded the Metallic Armor?

[daismith906]

Many thanks

No problems first basecoat them with army painter plate mail steel, then later on P3 pigiron, liberal wash of GW badab black (or not so good new nuln oil) then a light dry brush of pigiron to finish.

The helmets are finished by layering mithril silver over the previous layers, hope that helps?

Managed to finish painting my librarian conversion today but as the weathers crap could t take any decent pictures

Cheers

Yes, thanks alot, do you think vallejo game color and washes(i use them atm) will get the same effect?

I will eagerly await this log for new pics. Like I said. More than awesome

(by the way, sorry if i spell or write something wrong, i´m a bit rusty when it comes to write in english)

Cheers Bolter

[daismith906]

Haven't used there paints, washes etc but it should have a similar effect to the ones I use.

Will post up some more pics tomorrow

[daismith906]

Heres some pics of the finished libby (sorry about the quality, had poor lighting due to the great british weather)

[daismith906]

As the weather was crap yesterday i managed to finish the Terminator Chaplain apart from a few little bits - dont think he'll see much action but i love the mini





C&C is welcome

Beautiful stuff! Like the helmet of the Scriptor

Managed to finish my StormTalon this weekend

Had a slight accident involving plastic glue whilst sticking it on :angry: which was only just usable so had to paint it to hide the damaged

I dont like it but it was either paint it or leave it looking ****!

[Aegius]

very nice paintjob, I only have one critisism, and it's modelling related. You've stuck the tail on back to front.

I wish that I'd thought to glue extra bits 'n bobs to the airframe of mine now. That skull icon makes a nice change from the normall assault cannon cowling.

[Psykomamba]

I have done the same with the wings and the back and i must say i like the look way better. It makes it look more agile and faster.

[daismith906]

Yeah I know I did that way on purpose tried both ways & IMO it looked better that way

Cheers

Currently working my way through the 10 man tactical terminator squad and made a start on my "counts as" Lysander using FW Tyberos the red wake & some other bits.

Will post some WIP pics tomorrow

[daismith906]

Heres my "Counts As" Lysander primed and ready to paint (sorry about poor pic quality, bad lighting)

Based it on the SS marine on the cover of "The Gildar Rift", minus lightening claws obviously.

[daismith906]

So heres the finished "Counts as" Lysander, quite pleased on how he turned out






c&c always welcome

Cheers

Great use of parts for "Lysander", love the pose!

[Fle]

Wow I love that guy! He looks awesome (maybe even better than a real Lysander)

I like the effect on the Thunder Hammer.

[razormasticator]

Agreed, great Lysander counts as!
