10 balls WIP

[10 ball]

Cheers people for the comments

Bad week this week

wasnt happy with bone armour, repainted last night - trying to real push myself to get a sharp looking paint job. Not going for real bone look but a more bluish tint like the original GW mini.

If that's the look you're after you appear to have nailed it. My first thought on scrolling down to the second picture was "Oh, and now he's finished it." Took me a second to realize it was your reference photo. Excellent.

Classic mini there 10-Ball, one I've never owned but always liked. Looks smashing so far, keep up the good work B.

 

[jason]

hey ten the armour looks sweet and mate you are already doing sharp paint jobs

 

[marjedi]

Looks really nice. Gotta love those retro LedCast minis.

 

[Milosh]

Looking really nice and you are right on the reference photo.

 

[AndyG]

If anything I think yours is better than the GW one

 

[Willdorling]

The bone looks great 10ball. Have you decided on the green highlights yet?

 

[kathrynloch]

Great job 10! I agree yours looks better than the original!

Thanks for the comments people

Will - going with rotten flesh / bleach bone on the green highlights.

Im doing two projects at once as AndyG has laid down the gauntlet on the 'Crow' so I made a start. A NMM rust on the sword but ive gone a bit extreme on the highlights and it looks a bit like bronze.

Nice bronze dude:laugh:

In fact joking aside it realy is a nice bronze. What did you use?

 

[10 ball]

Laugh it up fuzz ball! LOL

Its a mix that JamesTTravers kindly shared with me when I asked about his GD winning duel.
Vermin fur, dark flesh, yellow, bleached bone.

Gave it a wash down with the base coat - I like the look, it don't look like rust but Hey! its fantasy

"What!?, you say 10 ball brings his paints into work while the boss is away for the day? Damn you sir, you jest with me. Tis not a fact but a piece of fiction I say, I do sir.

Even if it's not the effect your were looking for, I like it.

 

[AndyG]

Laugh it up fuzz ball! LOL

.

Oh well if were going down the film quotes then allow me to retort in paraphrase

"There's two types of painters in this world blondie........those that can paint rusty NMM.......... and those who paint bronze" :laugh:

"If your going to paint, paint, don't talk."

I don't like it, the armour is too dark.

 

[AndyG]

Yeah just what I was thinking! :laugh:

 

[Willdorling]

Like it 10ball. On the rust side of things I'd have gone normal NMM steel then really gone to town on the rust effect leaving minimal steel at the end. I like the look of sprokets demonstrated stippling effect on his eldar wings and you could use this to merge the edges of the rust and steel.

Awesome mini though! Me want!!

Over and out.
