Hivemind03's Paint Log

[hivemind03]

I'm going to start posting up some picture of my cult. I just finished 2k points if you include the Hivefleet Genestealers and Swarm Lord.
I should be able to get a full army shot this weekend when I bring it to my first tournament in 6 or so years.

Love the strong blue tones on Patty + Aberrants.

Which colors did you use?

[hivemind03]

Thanks. A lot of people prefer the purple so it's always nice to get a vote for the blue side.

It's Vallejo Prussian Blue > Dark Blue > Light Flesh. Mixing the colors for in between layers and it doesnt quite reach pure Light Flesh. It's really simple.

Awesome painted army! What colors are you using for your purples?

[hivemind03]

Thanks very much.
Game Color Hexed Lichen
Valejo Purple
GW Druchi Violet ink
Model Color Lightfl Flesh

For the cultist stuff I use Purple washed down with Druchi Violet and built back up with stages Purple and Light Flesh. I used the same light flesh to highlight the blue and the human skin to tie everything together in a subtle way.
For the genestealers I start with hexed lichen (any dark purple would do) because I wanted a darker stealthier look to them.

Not my cult, but I dont want to start a new thread. Here are 6 carnifexes I built and painted over the last 4 months.

I magnetized pretty much every option in the kits, but I only painted what I plan on using under the current rules.

I converted all the guns so that the smaller guns would look more monstrous and so that the cannons would be single sided, which avoids the issue of sagging with the magnets. Unfortunately I didn't have enough bits to do all of them this way. I still need one more set of Devourers and 4 sets of Deathspitters but I'm in no real rush to finish those.

Overall I'm very happy with the conversions and paintjob but very unhappy with the time spent. These are tabletop pieces and took way too long for that level of quality especially considering I'll need to do 4 more to have a full set...

[hivemind03]

Thank you. I have some really cool(to me) Tyrranofex conversions on my table ready to paint that I can't wait to show off. I just need to finish some of my Crisis Protocol stuff first. Gotta spread that hobby love.
