Crimson Fist Space Marine Sergeant - Airbrush Test Project

Power Armour ready for wash etc.

Hello everyone!

It has already been a while since I posted on this blog (Primarily doing work on my other blog). This week after having browsed around on youtube and watching some interesting videos, I decided to try and paint a Space Marine with my airbrush.

I love Space Marines but as much as I lovethem, I hate painting their Armour just as much :-p blending with a brush just plain sucks and takes so much time, so this was a very interesting project.

On this figure I airbrushed all the blue Power Armour and the red gloves, using a combination of Vallejo Game Colors I diluted and some Ammo of Mig colors.

Below you can see what it looked like after the Power Armour had been washed and most of the details painted.

And here's the finished figure. There are still some parts I should probably repaint, but this little side project has already taken quite a lot of time from my current main project :-p

Anyway that's it for now, really hope you like it :)

Crimson Fists - 25th Anniversary Captain - Finished!

Holy Fucking shit! an actual update on this blog! :-p

That banner have been looking me in the face and taunting me since Oktober last year and today I broke and decided to finish it. Think it turned out pretty nice, even though it was a bit of a rush job :-p

Anyhow, hope you like it, if you wan't to know more about the figure I have made other posts about it last year, should be easy to find :)

Pictures!

The banner still lacks a coat of matt  varnish, but might get it this weekend :)

Stay tuned for more updates (might be a while! :-p)

Crimson Fists - Commander & Standard Bearer - WIP

 Hello everyone!

So these figures is what I've been working on lately, sadly time hasn't really been on my side because I'm currently doing my bachelor project, which does take priority :-p

They are still very much a "Work In Progress", so somethings will definitely change before you see the finished version. The Banner will probably be done at a later time, probably at the same time I do the one for my anniversary figure.

Hope you like them!

Crimson Fists - Casualty - Painting Guide

Greetings!

So I'm still paint testing here, to figure out how I'm going to paint the rest of my Crimson Fists units. You might have seen my last test, but of course I didn't write down any directions for that one....I'm a moron.

So I've been painting a couple of figures and paint stripping them the past month, until I remembered that I had this fine figure laying around so I thought I might as well paint it.

I used mainly Vallejo colors for this figure, actually I think I only used Vallejo colors :-p

For the Power Armour I used the following colors:

Base coat:

• 72.019 - Game Color - Night Blue (It's very dark, a lot darker than GW Regal Blue (Or whatever its called now))

Hightlights:

• Night Blue (See above)
• 72.022 - Game Color - Ultramarines Blue
• 70.902 - Model Color -Azure (Most likely a paint in the Game Color range that match this one aswell)

Painting:

1. Night Blue base coat
2. Night Blue 6(7):1 Ultramarines blue ratio + a few drops of water to thin it down
3. Azure 1:1 water mix added to above mixture
4. Repeat the above highlight if needed. Depending on how much time you wanna spent.
5. Finish of with a fairly fine edge highlight of pure Azure (probably thinned down slightly)
6. Depending on how much you have highlight it might be needed to tone down the recesses of the armour. I used a black wash to pin wash where needed.

For the cloak and Fist I used the following colors:

Base:

• 72012 - Game Color - Scarlett Red

Highlights:

• 70.909 - Game Color - Vermillion
• White (any white will do to be honest, but I used a white from the Vallejo Model Color range)

Painting:

1. Scarlett Red base
2. Apply black wash, I used Vallejo Model Wash - Black (You could also just do the base coat with Scarlett Red and add drop of black and then continue from there with highlights)
3. Scarlett Red + water highlight
4. Add a few drops of Vermillion to the mix
5. Repeat step 4 if needed.
6. Add a drop of white to the mix for the highest edges.

For the rest of the gear you can use whatever colors you want :-)

Finished figure (Still missing base)

*Update 25.10.23* - Base Done
So I manged to get the base finished. I should probably have used a 60mm Dreadnought base, but sadly I didn't have one laying around.

Hope you like it.

Greetings minions

Anyone who have read this blog in the past might a stumbled onto this Post and wondered why nothing ever happened. But rejoice! I've been working on it and I'm glad to say progress is good!

Here have some pictures of the progress so far.

I'm sorry I can't show you my work step by step, but when I get started I always forget to document anything :-p

Hopefully I will be able to finish the banner soon!
