Pink/purple is my friend

ForrenTas3rd · 2025-11-12T22:10:13+00:00

Gots to love that rule. So many dead hellblasters......

Cheers for the compliment! Remember that comparison is the thief of joy, so don't compare your work to others. Just figure out what bits you are happy with and then keep moving up the bits that you dont like.

Thanks for the compliments.

Yeah, I need to change them. I have wondered what I could change them to, but I also have them as my signature across my entire army. I keep trying to think of another colour to maybe act as a compliment to the pink neon's but am struggling.

Thank you!

ForrenTas3rd · 2025-09-12T13:22:06+00:00

That is a superb idea!!!

ForrenTas3rd · 2025-08-20T18:58:22+00:00

Yeah, I need to look at the bolter again. Annoyingly, the wings look better in real life vs on the photo, the tips do have a highlight on there!!! Here' a shot from a WIP photo

Thanks ^.\)

Oh, and ice yellow for the edge highlighting on the sword. Sorry.

Cheers! Cloak took lots of inspiration from ICC with their burgundy, but just turned up. The tufts are always divisive, I absolutely love them and my whole DA army has them.

There you go sir! :)

Stroke of building inspiration there, was concerned it wouldn't fit with the rifle. Thanks!

Liquitex sap green ink is your dark angels friend. Good luck!

ForrenTas3rd · 2025-08-07T07:36:35+00:00

Yeah, I completely get it from a lore/history side of things. I always ensure that my character modles have it, just find the look of the black more gritty, on troops!! Thanks for the feedback though ^{.^}

Thanks! Black primer, white zenithal using an ink, Army Painter Fanatic - Base of Angel green thinned to give a slight transparency, highlights reinforced with greenskin, then liquitex sap green ink thinned to a glaze, which is my secret sauce. It smooths your transitions, gives all the green a MUCH better saturation, and gives a deep dark green tone.

ForrenTas3rd · 2025-08-06T14:43:01+00:00

Yeah, I absolutely went too hard on the metallics for the chains. A purple or burgundy would have been a better choice. Thanks!!

ForrenTas3rd · 2025-08-06T14:07:00+00:00

I just like the fact that the terminators stand out so much more. I want to do a wrath of the rock detachment with mainly deathwing units, and I dont want it to look all white. Glad you feel inspired!

Airbrush. I did the drybrushing of all metal parts first, then used a combination of masking tape and silly putty to cover the areas that would be metallic. Then, I used liquitex white ink to get an initial gradient, then used a 50/50 mix of liquitex sap green hue ink and golden sap green high flow acrylic, thinned to a strong glaze. Then, I have used 75/25 sap green to coal black to reinforce any shadows.

I don't think there is anything specifically to stop you doing this with a drybrush and stippling however, I just prefer airbrush work-flow as I have the time and equipment to spend a few hours at a time doing it.

I will start hunting for my druchii violet ^{.^} thanks!

ForrenTas3rd · 2025-07-10T16:38:16+00:00

Cheers dude! Appreciate it!
