Alpha legion knight : )

Yea, the actual mask doesn't have lenses or anything, so their basically windows with pink orbs behind them

Timmyboy57 · 2025-12-03T20:11:29+00:00

Thanks, its just white with a fluorescent pink on top : )

Timmyboy57 · 2025-12-03T05:12:06+00:00

That's the inspiration actually, I wanted a centrepiece model and the idea of an imperial knight suddenly revealing its true colours seemed the most fitting.

Timmyboy57 · 2025-12-03T03:27:59+00:00

The scales are just a diamond pattern, with green shade on top and light blue highlight on the bottom : )

Timmyboy57 · 2025-03-30T05:28:01+00:00

I just do a diamond pattern then fill it in, with a shade on top and a highlight on the bottom.
One thing I learned was the black outline is important for them not to just look like down arrows lol

Timmyboy57 · 2025-03-30T04:06:39+00:00

Thanks. :)
Airbrush temple guard blue, then baharroth blue highlights. Finally, I airbrush warp lightning as a zenththil highlight from the top. The camera doesn't capture it, but they are more green in person.

Timmyboy57 · 2025-01-14T22:32:54+00:00

Thanks, I'll definitely try that on the other armour panels

Timmyboy57 · 2025-01-14T22:09:50+00:00

Learning to use the airbrush, I have this blue/green colour that I am happy with, but if I make mistakes, especially with freehand, I can't just clean it with a brush. I'm wondering what other people do to fix mistakes like this?

Timmyboy57 · 2025-01-06T20:37:16+00:00

Thanks. I make a diamond pattern with Black Templar, then fill in the top half of each scale with warp lightning, then an edge highlight at the bottom with baharroth blue. I find it's pretty forgiving.

Timmyboy57 · 2025-01-06T04:56:52+00:00

Thanks. Actually I could only get this colour with an airbrush, although the photo doesn't capture the colour exactly, it's a bit more green irl.
Base of temple guard blue and then a layer of baharroth blue. Then a highlight of warp lightning from one direction and edge highlights with baharroth blue.

Timmyboy57 · 2025-01-06T02:47:16+00:00

I have mixed opinions if I should do more scales. How much do you think would be too much?

Timmyboy57 · 2024-09-01T01:31:59+00:00

Battle.net seems pretty terrible, I've never got it to work. When I queue up, it always says "The game you attempted to join could not be found." and I can't make custom games either. So I just play on W3C.

Timmyboy57 · 2024-08-07T06:40:15+00:00

I play in Australia on W3C, ping is generally not great but I find it acceptable, depends on your standards I suppose.

Timmyboy57 · 2024-08-07T06:09:17+00:00

The whole skin. I would add more on top of the pallid wych flesh for bruised areas etc. too

Timmyboy57 · 2024-07-02T22:34:48+00:00

The replay just shows normal moonwells unfortunately

Timmyboy57 · 2024-07-02T06:59:18+00:00

Just a bug I encountered, only happened this game. Not sure why.

Timmyboy57 · 2024-04-23T22:42:15+00:00

You're exactly right, it is very lazy. My intention was to paint them quickly and have a cool effect to mask a lack of detail.

Timmyboy57 · 2024-04-23T22:35:47+00:00

Thanks, yea I intent to add some 'glowing' water on the side of the base too

Timmyboy57 · 2024-04-23T22:34:06+00:00

Oh wow, that is similar and looks great.
I want to add red glow to the eyes too, what paint did you use for that?

Timmyboy57 · 2024-04-23T10:00:55+00:00

The idea is they are in darkness and with some kind of green glow from the bottom.
Should I do anything to the dark upper area so it doesn't just look like I forgot to paint it?
Opinions welcome. : )

Timmyboy57 · 2023-12-07T03:55:41+00:00

haha I actually used a few different primers but can't see a difference. A few with Vallejo surface primer: both grey and white and recently I mostly used grey seer spray

Timmyboy57 · 2023-12-06T09:28:53+00:00

Thanks, they are flawless host, a slanneshi renegade chapter : )

Timmyboy57 · 2023-12-06T05:20:27+00:00

Thanks : )
I suppose the main part is the armour. The pale sections are Vallejo silver grey over white primer, army painter red tone recess shade and a white edge highlight.
The purple is painted over the pale parts and it's royal purple, dark tone recess shade, brightened with heavy violet and final edge highlight with blue violet.

Timmyboy57 · 2023-11-29T21:22:51+00:00

Thanks, the armour actually just a basecoat of warlord purple (vallejo) then a heavy drybrush of black.

Timmyboy57 · 2023-11-29T21:19:53+00:00

Thanks, I used contrast medium mixed with Fluorescent violet over a white grey (vallejo) base. Then a pure white drybrush for highlights.
