DangerClose Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 WIP thread of my Bonesplitterz force. Feel free to comment, ask, critique etc. WAAAAARGH! Some arrowboyz to start with. Approx. 2 hours per model. Lots of drybrushing. Bases will come later but will have a cracked earth/orangeish desert feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Love it! Gotta say the fletching is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 BAH Put some proppa armor on ya poncey paintkini wearin' bonegitz! Looking good so far! There are so many flat planes, I think you could add more tattoos. I've got some I'll be building myself and painting just for that fun. I was thinking about doing a tribal themed Bonesplitters/Spiderfang army for Armies on Parade this year...but I'm kinda running out of time and money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordova Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Nice work...they look really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerClose Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks guys! Some command to bolster the ranks! @Dez I think i'll keep the large amount of bare skin, since it's a great way to visually tie the army together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasmarog Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Really nice work. Can you tell the paints you used? I have 106 bonesplittas to paint, and really liked this scheme.. maybe just made a bit more brownish with some shades... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wundlesprut Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I really like this consistent and neat style (I'm a horribly sloppy painter myself). Really nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerClose Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Glad you guys like it! I think this is the best tabletop standard I can manage still bearing in mind that it's a fairly model heavy army, so speed is crucial. @rasmarog Basecoat Elysian Green, shade Athonian Camoshade, drybrush Elysian Green, drybrush Ogryn Camo, drybrush Underhive Ash. All the rest is just assorted browns, tans, bone-colours etc. with a healthy dose of Agrax Earthshade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Legs Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 So I just signed up to say how ****** rad these are. Building Bonesplitterz as my first army and holy hell this is the exact scheme (paints and all) I'm working on. Only difference is mine are swamp-based and I'm trying full bone on the totem. Seriously though man, please keep the updates coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasmarog Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Im going for: Army Green (Army painter) for base (spray to speed my painting, 106 models) Earth shade Wash Warboss Green on layer Biel Tan Green for second wash Moot Green for highlights ... or maybe for a darker appearance: Loren Forest on layer and Warboss Green on highlights.

Rusty Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I was thinking of using the recipe Kenny Boucher is using for the Ork army he's working on during his Twitch livestreams. Basically, he's basecoating Iosan Green, exaggerated highlights of Moot/Escoprana Green, wash Waywatcher Green and then just touch up highlights with Necrotite Green. I'm not sure it will be effective on so much skin, but I am leaning towards giving it a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerClose Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 @Mr_Legs Appreciate it, man. Feel free to drop some WIPs and pics in the thread! Would love to see more Bonesplitterz in here Just painting some Infinity models for the weekend. Next update will be next week. Hopefully with the bases done if the crackle paint arrives on time.

Mr_Legs Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 May I ask how you got the skin looking so smooth with drybrushing? I've been layering so far and, while I'm happy with the results, I've only completed 8 boys out of 62 over the past two weeks. I tried drybrushing a test model today and it looks dogshit in comparison. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasmarog Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 My models are expected to be delivered between tomorrow and monday (I hope). Ill be showing some WIP. But i have a lot of stuff to assemble (116 models). I'will try to paint different models and show some results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerClose Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Make sure to properly wipe off most paint on the bristles and go lightly, not doing heavy layers. I also try to focus on not covering up previous layers and hitting the upper areas of the mini with a bit more light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Yeah I'm pretty amazed those are drybrushed even this close up! Usually you see a bit of grainy texture, they look great. Cost of entry and painting all that green skin (though it is my favorite part) is a bit of a barrier. You are making it look easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerClose Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 No cracklepaint yet so no bases done so far I'll compensate with some more reinforcements: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'm going to have to paint some of these up, aren't I? Wonderful attention to detail on these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dez Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Fine. JUST fine. I'll go build my box now, you are making me want to paint them! My only item I'd like to point out is perhaps making the loincloth a different color? I know it's a different tone but it's so close...using red again would help with the flow/dynamic pose.

DangerClose Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm glad to be inspiring you, Dez Totally agree on the loincloth. I think I'm redoing it across all models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Legs Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Scheme I went with is a deep blue for all the scales (loincloths and plates) with a brighter blue for the warpaint, and a red-orange for all the furs with a lighter red-orange for the hair. Seemed to work pretty well. I just can't get the bloody skin to look right in a humane amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Legs Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Won't let me edit my post but I've attached a snippet from the colour chart with the paints I built my scheme up from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
