I feel ashamed to admit it, but I agree with Pake!
Tim, you are a naughty man.

I hate you all.
Life got in the way of what I had planned today. However I got all the basecoat and badab black wash done on ALL the termies and Dreadnought!


Only thing I'm not looking forward to doing is that drop pod. Plus I need some more badab black before I do start it!

I managed to get ELEVEN terminators done today, well, the armour. That's all 26 termies and a dread with their armour painted, also:


Well a long time a go I promised a tutorial on how I paint my Deathwing armour.
Here it is!
[apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]Paints Needed[/apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]

Iyanden DarkSun
Desert Yellow
Bleached Bone
Skull White
Badab Black wash

[apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]The Tutorial[/apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]

Start by under coating the model with Black Primer.[/list:apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]

Once this is dry paint the modelwithe Iyanden Darksun Foundation paint[/list:apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]

Give the model a good wash with Badab Black.[/list:apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]






Leave this to dry fully.[/list:apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]

Once dry give the model a coat of Desert Yellow, leaving some of the previous scheme showing in the recesses.[/list:apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]

I tend to leave the inside of the legs in the current colour, mainly because I'm lazy but also adds some depth to the model[/list:apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]






Next you'll want to mix up a 2:1 part mix of Desert Yellow and Bleached Bone.

Apply this like before, leaving some of the previous layer showing
[/list:apparently, there is a donkey firmly lodged in my colon]





Now you'll want to apply the bleached bone, do this in a line (or streaky) pattern, generally keeping all the lines vertical as if the model had his arms by his side.

The final highlight is a 1:1 mix of Bleached bone and skull white applied as above but only on the "outside" of the model, where light would hit the model

Screw the world Filter ¬_¬ I can't be bothered to go back and change it all right now.

Does desert yellow still exist? Nice tutorial, quite a different approach as well

very cool tut thanks

when i get round to painting all my rt termies i shall leave the armour inserts just like you did...it IS a nice contrast after all

Cheers!

I thought Desert Yellow was one of the newer paints?

yeah, i think it is.......

Perhaps, I'm thking of Sulphar Desert Yellow that came out in the 'Epic' paint set around 92/93

It's right here!

(incase link don't work)

I bought it from GW a month or two back

Hmm. Well clearly the range has changed agan without me noticing. I keep trying to buy discontinued paints :flame:

Thought I'd update with a WIP shot of my terminator, so far you've only the armour.
Started painting the greys on the weapons and other parts. I'm really making up the scheme as I go along, painting them in batches before moving on, so all I'm doing is painting grey!
I think it needs one more layer of lighter grey as it looks a little flat. I don't want to mix paint so will have to fetch some soon.
Things like the skulls etc will eventually be painted white.
