Redd.Cohen Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 To be honest this is my very first time assembling and painting war game minis and using base materials. I've tried to get as much tips in! Tell me what you think please. What you see is two box sets: Lady Justice and Lucius. I'm planning to get the Avatar soon and maybe get an Austinger, a Peacekeeper to add to the dopeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redd.Cohen Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Oh and here's a picture of Lucius clearly. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't have a good time with the lawyer and my guild Guard. I failed miserably at them. But I'm hoping to improve on my blends and such. I like the way my basing went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamwyrd Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 First off welcome to the forums. Secondly, for your first time these models are fantastic. If you want any tips, it think a wash on the light blue of the clothes would make the models pop even more. Maybe asurmen blue wash or for a dirty look a sepia wash if you use citadel paints. If not just get a blue color and water it down or use medium retardent mixed with water and just wash over the whole cloth. But other than that they are great for your first time.

Redd.Cohen Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Oh man I tried to find a good blue wash but they are so dark . It's because the blues I used on my crew are super light blue (space wolves grey). Thanks for the tips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hey man for a first go , they look great ! You can water down a wash to lighten it up a bit , even add a touch of space wolves grey to lighten it up . Washes are basically watered down paints ( there are other agents added to the company produced washes ) . But before washes became easy to obtain , painters watered down the base coat color . I actually tend to water down the washes all the time , they can be a tad dark for my liking as well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmPlains Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 +1 to above The stuff looks good, but would benefit immensely from a wash, i might even do a soft brown wash right over the entire models -- think Gryphone Sepia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notmikehill Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Welcome to Wyrd! I'm really digging the white in the crew, I don't see much of that around my LGS. Good stuff so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbowsher76 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I like the color scheme, very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Welcome to the Wyrder side of things, for a first time ever that is pretty good work. I would say you dont really need to wash anything down but maybe a highlight might pay greater dividends at this stage, just add some white to the colours you are already working with and apply thinly to the raised areas. White is a tough colour to pull off even when you are experienced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
