Very nice!

Thanks as always, 3eland

So, one more Thousand Son

A little history: This was done after i painted a big thousand sons army for a fellow user here some years back, but he needed to sell it to cover medical expenses. When I heard about it I painted this guy up for him. Since there aren't pics on this thread, a few highlights of the old army:

Wow. What color blue did you use?

Thanks-- used vallejo royal blue for the base, mixed w/ dark prussia blue for the shade and with magic blue (IIRC) for the high, and then with light grey for the stronger lights

Readying through your posts, those are awesome models. And that is a truly inspiring Thousand Sons army - very awesome!

Thanks, stokerd- yeah, loved working on that set.

So, the first display piece I've done in a bit-- Vulkan, the first primarch I've painted.

The Vulkan looks good.
The closest thing I'd have to criticism is to comment on his skin. He looks more like a D&D Drow to me. I'd expect his skin to look a little more like... ash... like burnt out remains of a fire. That dull, cold gray/black.

Yeah, he's a little dark- went with FW's skin there, and the glare makes it look a little darker for some reason...

Forgot to post the helmet here, though. So, he can also have inoffensive green

Wait a tick... that's your DP!

@Spiraling - Very cool hunter dude. Great work on the skin! And Vulcan is really cool, especially when he has the helmet on!

DP? Don't understand that.

DP=Display Pic. Avatar. Whatever it is called these days

stokerd · Post by **stokerd** » Sat May 02, 2015 8:14 pm

Yeah, my Avatar

This was my army, sadly (very sadly) it had be to sold

Yeah, really sucks re: your TSons

I also hadn't heard "DP" either... thought 3eland might have thought ahriman was a daemon prince?

So, a fun duo- Mr. Graves (the bouncer) won me first in category in Wyrd's Frozen Moments competition, who goes with his cooler buddy, Mr. Tannen.

Wicked models Spiraling. The whole purple/yellow thing I am doing on some Eldar (among other colours). I always though it was a cool effect!

Well done as always!
