Rogue's W I P thread

[woodspeed]

looking good so far as you have seen i went for black on mine but red is awesome so far are you going to put any freehand on it or just keeping it simple

[chemicalcaveman]

I really like how its coming on. The red might be a little too dark for me, but thats just my personal taste.

Looking good so far.

[roguetrader]

still have not got the rivets and bits i need to do more on the looted raider, started this in the mean time, it is william wallace guardian of scotland from the rebellion range by ebob, i love the pose, thinking on an autumn/snow base

[mutantpotato]

I dont think I have seen any fantasy stuff from you yet, but I am looking forward to it Looks like a nice sculpt. I guess it is about the size of the GW LoTR range?

[mousekiller]

Red is pretty tricky...

I have a tendency to want to bring my red highlights all the way up to a nice flaming red (orange or yellow)... but if you don't want to do this you could always go down to a deeper shadow (black or brown washes should help out with that).

Great work so far, and what a perfect size rock.

This do is a great mini, i have got to get it sometime. looking forward to see the progress of yours

The Rebellion Heroes are very cool I have got them too I will look forward to seeing what you make of it.

[roguetrader]

now then, whoever said " lets make horses, they will be fun to paint ", they, they will die....i hate horses!!!! arrrggghhhhhhhhhh, comments and crit welcomed on this, my first ever horse , please though, just dont say more highlights, i dont think i could face it lol

[Tim C]

More highlights, add them gradually and build them up towards the highest parts of the musculature. It is not easy I hate painting horses, keep the paint thin and use many many gradual layers of successively lighter paint.

Tim where you listening?

I actually will go with Tim on this one, it does look like it needs more highlights, but the picture seems a bit dark mate. If it was a bit brighter we might be able to see the highlights easier.

[Tim C]

Yep I was I did it on purpose

[bruenor]

Yep I agree, it could do with a couple more highlights, then some lowlights, and a wash.
The wash is coz horses are bloody dirty things............Brrrrrr I hate Horses..........

[roguetrader]

This is a wip of my concept for a true scale marine squad, im going for sons of horus pre rebellion, this is a wip of my first attempt which will serve as the guinea pig for the rest, it still needs bits smoothing and also shoulder pad studs, you will notice the 4 harness straps look dodgey aswell but ill take my time with the rest, this was a quick mock up that only took a few hours. It will still be painted though.


should be a scanner in his hand aswell, let me know what you think

[razhburz]

Looks really cool mate! keep it up!

[Tim C]

Nice start, gs is something I just cannot get on with at all.

[bruenor]

Looks cool, but the bolter doesn't fit the pre heresy scheme, are you gonna modify it to look more pre heresy?

[roguetrader]

probably, like i say this is the guinea pig to see how to make them

[darkmessiah]

lookin good rogue, i did some tru scale stuff a hile back usin SM troop bits, but am liking the term stuff better, may have to borrow that idea

its look good, but id just extend the calfs a little more, the bottom of ur legs are always longer than ur thighs
