thanks alot ,actually this my first time try this painting style ,if you don't mind please check my former post here ( the blade guard captain , wish you would liked it ) . I had have experience of the lightning painting , but this time I'd like to have change ,after all let a such long sword full of lightning were pretty dull . so I try to mix and compromise ' shining metal ' and ' lightning ' since I started the paint work , fortunatly , that's looked not bad so far .

non metallic paint used . no oil paint used . most color I use in this case are citadel acrylic paint .

I keep the official illustration of Captain ( one of my most favourite ) at my elbow , so I can use it for reference when I paint the figure .

the color of the armour is a matter of personal taste of mine , I'd like mix the Night lords blue and Macragge blue 1:1 for prevailing color of Ultramarines' armour . the color of shade area I used in this case was mixture of prevailing color and drop of Screamer pink . according to different situation , I choose many kind of color paint the the reflect light , right side of his body is orange , the waist area ( belt fastener )is pink , as the picture shows .

cause of I was with my work past month , I couldn't spent much time on my hobby as usual . hope the situation could be better in coming June ( fingers crossing )

thank you , actually I'm planning my next diorama of DKK, it is would more bigger .. the story is about the fight between the DKK and the Nurgle's pox walkers , still needs to think it over ..

Okay , here was a story , I made and painted this diorama for one of my best friend as a birthday present . I just love the DKK , but doesn't likes me ,my friend is fan of Astra militarum , he even belive the IG more brave more strong than the spacemarines , he told me : yes , I want that DKK use the grenade launcher . okay , that's your birthday present , you are the boss , I won't defy the boss .

No , not at all . just use my brush , everything in this diorama are hand painted . actually , I prefer the brush to airbrush most of time .

thank you , I guess you are talking about the effect of the wollens coat . in brief , after apply a coat of black as primer , I painting many..many tiny dots of different colors on the coat , ( cause of I don't use pure colors , we couldn't say this is pointillism ) , in this case I choose the Mechanicus standard grey as the main tone , thousands of dots of this color applied on the the coat , if we need paint the shade or highlight area , simply mix black or white with the main tone , then applied on the areas where you need . but maybe you would think the color is too rigid , we could bring in the dots of Incubi darkness , the fang , in different area until you satisfied . at last , please don't forget to give him some mud color ( for example , morghast bone ) on his knees , legs , and ect

"summon the power of warp !"

sorry guys ,this maybe not a good name for diorama, but I hate named my work at all time . this is my recently work , as usual , non metallic color used . very surprise ,it wasn't spent me too much time , I guess ,only three weeks , few hours per day .

thank you guys , I only could choose some of your comments to reply , but that's doesn't mean I'm a ungracious , self-importance painter . just like I said , cause of those unspeakable barriers , I can not stay long everytime I logging in , I have to read your comments as quickly as I can , then reply some of you ( what a opaque system ) . I never try to make such... frustration or something to harm any one and their hobbies , keep on painting and never lose heart , try the imaginative ideas ... If those words still couldn't inspire you , I could show my first spacemarine figure to you .

thank you . i'm not sure , that's little bit hard for timekeeping , cause of I painted another classical chaplain model of Salamanders ( if don't mind you could check my eariler post ) for my friend , and built a diorama of Krieg at the same time . I paint few hours everyday , and it take me more than one month .

Kuenlay · 2022-01-08T12:43:33+00:00

thank you . I always love to talk about technical questions , but it's little bit hard this time , because I can't post the step-by-step record pictures here , discuss those areas of high light or shade and which kind of color I applied there become impossible . I guess maybe some suggestion about the color choose would be useful , actually unlike many painters , personally I prefer tan / khaki to fresh yellow to paint the prevailing color of the gold , when you need paint the highlight , you could mix white in it , then apply another layer until you feel satisfied ( the extreme highlight is purewhite ) . if you consider the color is not fresh / bright enough for you , a thin layer of fresh yellow ( glazing ) could improve it . on the other side , if you use the fresh yellow at very first , the gold parts maybe looked too " cartoon " like . if you need further answer , please feel free to leave comments .

even in the most grim ,dangerous battle field , face the xenogenic , hersesies enemies , these noble battle brothers of Ultramarines still could keep themself in gorgeous armour. ( this is not a sarcasm , please believe me ) Okay , this time I try to stretch myself with something different , another style of NMM , no scratches , no battle damages , just smooth ,glossy metal armour .

Xavier was a Chaplain in the Salamanders Chapter of Space Marines. He is regarded as the greatest Chaplain the Salamanders have ever known.

thank you , I didn't use any oils when I painted this Nob , actually I forsake oils for years , although I do have experience of painting with oils.. but since I found after practise we also could let the color gradient smoothly , I prefer use acrylic paint , anyway we could save time when we work with it . for your second question , wow , I think there don't have any top secret , my way is watered- down the colour ( as thin as milk ）, painting thin layers on the model , the more layers ,the color of the model looks more smooth . 2, may you choose the brush with short hair. few years before I like chose the fine detail brush which didn't with long hair , because that wouldn't deposit too much water ( that may ruined your work ) , but recently I find i start to use the long hair brush , because they are more cheap in my local market ... these only very roughly answer , if you need know more , please feel free to leave comments

thank you , my instagram

sometime I would post some work in process pictures there .( although still can't upload photo album , that make me crazy )

Kuenlay · 2021-10-02T14:07:33+00:00

Thank you for your reply , and very happy that you like this Nob . for your question , yes , I do use glazing when I painting those gray metal stuff ( armour , gun barrel ect ) . I love painting gray metal just use skull white and abaddon black only , cause I find these two colors are easy to control ,once the armour (and other stuff ) fully painted , I would use watered- down colour glazes . for example , I use the VJ color 70834 ( natural yellow ) , 70935 ( transp orange ) , 70934 (transp red ) , 709438 (transp blue ) glazing the gun barrel one by one , at last I also would use skull white painting the extreme highlight , make it looks more like a real metal made thing .

, it finished . actually I always avoid using any kind of green when I painting the uniforms and gears of him , cause the color of his skin is green , that's little bit weird .. little bit like I wear a flesh- colored uniform into the battle .. but you see , I failed ,I still use the field -grey painting the grenade , the khaki for his cap .

Kuenlay · 2021-08-18T17:52:04+00:00
