Fade's Imperial Guard Pics

[fade_74]

I thought I would put some pictures of my imperial guard up. I don't have many people I game with, and I don't go to tournaments, so I thought here would be a good place to show off some of my stuff. I hope I am doing this photo thing right lol. Never posted pics on a forum before. I'm used to Coolminiornot.com.
I will add some more later!

This is a Hellhound I just finished. It is magnetized, so all the weapons can be interchanged. This is a new color scheme for me, but I wanted to give it a go.

A new Demolisher chassis. All magnetized so I can use any of the variants. I didn't need the sponsons though. I already have a ton of tanks with them. So I figured that I could use one or two without. This is also a new color scheme for me. I was in the mood for something different.

Here are some Ratlings. Rafe's favorite. He thinks abhumans are just sooOOooo cute.

[fade_74]

Here are a couple of old school heavy support pieces. The Executioner is one of my all time favorite models. I field it whenever I can, even when another tank would be better.

This Vanquisher is the first Forge World piece I ever got.

[Irongut]

Great Job- Nice work!

[travinius]

yeah, those are nicely done sir. especially the vehicular weathering, my hat's off to your guardsmen!

[person person]

Those guard look great, the grey really helps show off your weathering skills.

Happy New Years!

[fade_74]

Thanks for the comments guys. Weathering well has been really tough to learn but well worth it. I still figure something new out with each new tank. Imperial armour masterclass gets all the props for that. Btw FW has another IA masterclass planned for sure. I sent them an email a few weeks ago with a question about one of the paint schemes and to ask if they had another in the works and they said yes there was one planned.

Here are a couple super heavies I did while trying to learn from IA masterclass.

Very nice mate, I've yet to try the techniques out of the masterclass book, I'm going to have to give it a go.

[person person]

Amazing work.

[entendre_entendre]

looks beautiful i really like the camo on the demolisher, the weathering is really good too.

[Rafe_131]

Yeah....the Rats look super duper......"Quick Mr. Frodo. Grab the sniper rifle...We'll teach Gollum a lesson with that."

Anyhow, well done.

[snikrot]

love your tanks

[fade_74]

Here are my advisors, some commissars, and one of my Catachan command squads.

[person person]

Those look great, really like the sentinels.

[Cryl]

Nice stuff. I really like the blue colour you've got on the advisors, is that anything complex or just a paint / wash effect?

[fade_74]

I really like the blue colour you've got on the advisors, is that anything complex or just a paint / wash effect?

It's not really complex. I think it was just ultramarines blue basecoat. Washed with a darker blue/black. Then highlighted with UM blue lightened with white in several layers.

[TSINI]

It's always a pleasure to browse your models Fade, i've been fascinated with your superheavies and flyers, its cool to see some infantry for a change :D

Amazing as always.

[fade_74]

Thanks Tsini! Btw I was just checking out your blog and I really like how your penal troops turned out. I think I am going to have to steal your idea lol.

[Hairy Piggy]

Phew, the advisors are incredible, as are the commisars. Do you ever have a use for 5 of them at once?

[fade_74]

Phew, the advisors are incredible, as are the commisars. Do you ever have a use for 5 of them at once?

Nope lol. I actually almost never use any of them I'm sorry to say. I love commissars though. They have always been some of my favorite models. I may have to make a list using Yarrick and all my commissars at once. It probably would't win any games, but it would be a hell of a lot of fun.

[fade_74]

I thought I would put up some pics of my poor neglected tau. They sit on the shelf most of the time. I just don't have the subtlety required to play them well.

[TSINI]

Thanks Tsini! Btw I was just checking out your blog and I really like how your penal troops turned out. I think I am going to have to steal your idea lol.

Hehe feel free mate, i think those models are the ones i'm most proud of (apart from the VERY dead guardsman objective marker :D)

firstly i had to sculpt the ears of half of the guys (a first for me) and secondly the collars came out really well.

the secret is definately in the explosive collars, the "detonator device" is from the spade handles that come on the tank accessory sprue (i'm sure you have plenty of these) it was a lttle tricky to cut them to fit on the collar, but it definately paid off.

I havent updated my blog in ages, but i'm getting back into it, to finish off my guardsmen and get onto the tyranid bandwagon ready for a new year of gaming

[person person]

Nice tau. I like the weathering on your battlesuits, looks very gritty.

[johnnyfoodmaster]

Wow. This stuff looks amazing. I was thinking of getting that IA masterclass book. I'm gonna put it on my next FW order.

You're really helping my thoughts of starting IG after my next project wraps up.

[Aldramelech]

Goodbye

[fade_74]

Thought I would post some of the new stuff I have been doing.
First up is my new Vendetta. It has the FW conversion kit and decals. The decals really look cool, but man, they were a real pain in the *** to put on.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard04-2.jpg

Here are a couple pics of the Hydra I just finished a bit ago.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard03-3.jpg
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard02-3.jpg

Here is an Eldrad Ulthran I did for my buddy Eric. He is just getting into the game and I thought having a really cool looking army commander would get him really excited about 40k. I think he turned out really great. I almost hated to give him up.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard01-5.jpg

[fade_74]

These guys were inspired by Tsini. For some reason I just couldn't get a good pic....I think my camera is going to ****, or maybe its just the user.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/final.jpg

[Vorlon]

Amazing work as usual but the weathering on the valk nothing short of amazing!

[person person]

Awesome work, like the Penal legionnaires orange and black looks cool.

[Madness]

Dude, love your style, I demand better pics.

[pgarfunkle]

Great work, think I may have to invest in the Masterclass book if it can help get my models looking half as good.

[fade_74]

I replaced the penal legion, and Eldrad pics with ones that were a bit better. As per the demands.....;)

[fade_74]

Just a minor thing.....but....making a light box really helped my pics...I think. I just cut up a big ol diaper box so it had windows in the sides and top. Then duct taped some white muslin fabric over the holes. Redneck engineering at its finest.

Here is a new pic of the hydra.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Hydrafinal.jpg

Creed and Company
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/creedfinal.jpg

A couple Necron lords. I repainted my whole necron army over Xmas break, while waiting on my FW order to show up.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/necronlordfinal.jpg

My Necron Monolith.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Monolithfinal.jpg

[person person]

The tearing paint is awesome makes the necrons look even older. Why do the two Lords have different colour gauss?

[fade_74]

They were actually painted almost 10 years apart. I never even noticed until you said something. I think maybe the sun washed out the one without the res orb.

[Thor]

It's not sun, it's GW. My brother collects Necrons, and we've gotten 2 different shades of gauss in the same shipment (different boxes tho).

[Madness]

Using black as base for the faces makes them quite goth, but I like the expressivity.

[fade_74]

Here are a couple pics of the Medusa I have been working on this week. 1 down....1 to go lol.

[ColCorbane]

Outstanding!

[Madness]

Like the broodlord sometimes says: "4 thumbs up".

[Aldramelech]

Goodbye

[fade_74]

I use alot of hull mounted heavy flamers. The biggest threat to my tanks is usually things that want to get up close and personal. So I find that the heavy flamers, while not always useful, deal with my threats most efficiently. And when you have 3-5 tanks, arty, etc, in a big mob at the back of the board, thats alot of heavy flamer templates. I also run my chimeras with hull mounted and turret mounted HF.

[Aldramelech]

Goodbye

[ColCorbane]

I've just been nosing at your other stuff, I love the hydra and the valkyrie is excellent. Any close up pics of the valk? I take it you use a an airbrush?

[fade_74]

I may not get to use them every game....but 2-3 kills per shot with the HF is pretty average.

col, I will try to get you some closeups, and yeah, I use an airbrush for most of my vehicles.

[fade_74]

The Deathrider Ride Master I just finished. It really looks much better in person. I just can't seem to get the depth that I should be getting with my camera. I wanted a real unearthly tone for this guys horse, so he would stand out in a crowd. It's actually just bleached bone sprayed really thin, almost transparent, so the black shows through a bit. It gives it that really weird blue feel, without using any blue. This would actually look really good on any ghostly figure.

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard02-4.jpg

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard03-4.jpg

[Madness]

Love how the heraldry (markings? damn my english) stand out. The figure has a very deep feel to it (muted tones).Some things that might have thrown it off (like yellow/black cables) manage not to, while still provide with fluffiness.

Congrats.

[Vorlon]

Fade....man....Superb work! You are the first person to make me question my dislike for cavalry in a futuristic game.

[person person]

Damn, the horse looks like a friggin' zombie. Like the muted dark tones too.

[fade_74]

My cousin, who goes by rafe131 brought this over today.......
I have dubbed it the dropvaj.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/dropvag.jpg

[Rafe_131]

Thanks Fade.....You're vagtastic!!

[Madness]

Very... organic looking. Giger would approve.

[person person]

Agreed.

[Aldramelech]

Goodbye

[Akkon Sek]

Think I saw something similar advertised somewhere. For a different use. Completely different.

Ugh... that's creepy. Very well done, but creepy.

[Rafe_131]

Ok, ok.....I know. But, in my defense...

When I set out to make this nid drop pod, i had an idea in my head for the "doors". I knew it would resemble...uh..certain things. However, I decided to let the hot glue fall where it may and crossed my fingers that the outcome would be acceptably "Nid". In that, I think it turned out pretty good.


Fade....at least throw a pic up of the tyrant or something.

[and justice for all]

Wow. That is a real nice set of vehicles. Could drop them into a WWII diorama quite easily. Lokk very authentic

[Lord Azaghul]

My cousin, who goes by rafe131 brought this over today.......
I have dubbed it the dropvaj.


I think my wife might slap me just for looking at it!

I'm both impressesed and disguested! Well done.

[and justice for all]

Well , that would be a great Easter Egg to a 5yr old. Scar him for life. lol

[fade_74]

Here is another deathrider. A demon prince I did for a buddy. And my other medusa.

[Commissar Lewis]

Wow, dude your painting skills make mine look awful by comparison. But I'm fine with my skills.

Still, amazing job, and tbh the Dropvaj might me my favorite model/conversion I've seen, mostly for the "hee hee" factor.

[person person]

How'd you do the wings on the Daemon Prince, like the feathered approach.

[fade_74]

The wings on the demon prince were spray primered with krylon flat white. I then used GW washes for the color. Asurman blue, Leviathan purple, Bhaal Red, and Gryphonne sepia. When they were completely dry, I sprayed em with matte finish. The a couple days later I washed the whole wing in Devlan mud, then drybrushed with bleached bone.

They looked really cool before the devlan mud wash, but they just looked to angelic for the demon prince. It would look really kick *** on a pegasus, or something angelic.

[Rafe_131]

Yep.....I like the looks of the wings much more after the wash dried and you put the dry brush on it. If ya get a chance e-mail me a pic or two of the wall.

[fade_74]

One day after a game I said "Hey! We need a city wall!" Rafe, the best terrain maker I know, replied "I can do that....how tall do you want it?" Well here it is. He even made it so you could take out chunks of wall to make breaches. Sorry that the pics aren't great, but it is pretty massive.

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard01-9.jpg

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard02-6.jpg

I'll have to take some pics of his nids next!

[ilmfein]

is there a model for blue scribes or herald of tzeentch since u never turn on skype :( hard to get ahold of u

[TSINI]

wow Rafe, that city wall is all sorts of cool

what material is it made from? i'm guessing polystyrene foam, cut with a heated wire?

Nice paintwork there fade, on everything! :D

[Rupert]

Very Jealous. Just gave me the inspiration I need to go out and buy another 4 Commisars :)
Loved painting the power fist one and I need a new bolt pistol one as I painted it ages ago and he looks a bit dodgy. Epic models are epic. Post more Guardsmen and a full army pic pls :)

[Rafe_131]

@ TSINI

Thanks. You hit the nail on the head. Polystyrene *the most dense I could get, I think grade B mabey?* cut with a hot wire cutter. The beams were made with 1/2 inch square dowels, and an assortment of Cities o' Death bits Fade had laying around. Then Fade gave it a paint job. I think I may steal it back from him and recut the outer destroyed sections so they go clean to the table, and square up the ends so we can add on to it with another wall section in the future. *I have to finish Fade's Tau-ish terrain first though......the mans a slave driver....hehe*

[ilmfein]

the pics came out great the wall good job as usual c u sat

[TSINI]

Fade mate, i want to replicate your "blue hue" grey horse for one or 2 of my Death riders i just bought, got any ideas how i might be able to get a similar finish without the use of a spray gun?

I was thinking maybe


Base black

painted with watered down bleached bone

washed with thinned badab black


i'm sure it won't look anywhere near as good as yours though lol!

I might have to mix in a tiny bit of shadow grey to the bleached bone to get a better blue hue to it

[fade_74]

it might work tsini. You might try a mix of space wolves grey, and kommando khaki. I think that would be close. Glad you like em though. Any help you may need, feel free to ask.

[fade_74]

Rupert asked for an army pic.....I just didn't have the time to put em all out on the gaming table, so here is one of my IG on the shelf lol. The empty space with the troops is for a psyker battle squad i'm making out of servo skulls. I also have 2 more sentinels (armoured with plasma cannons) a new style chimera (for the psykers) and another demolisher, all sitting around my painting desk waiting just waiting to be finished.

[fade_74]

Here are a couple pics of my finished deathriders, and my Manticore (that took 3 months to deliver from FW due to a screwed up mold). I tried to get detail pics of the slogans written on the missles, that rafe got me to paint on em. They say "Last Laugh" "Buh Bye" "Pray for Death" and his favorite "Smile.....Wait for flash."

[fade_74]

Here is Rafe's Hive Tyrant. An outstanding paintjob on a great model. He repositioned the whip to give it more motion and IMHO it looks alot better.


http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard05-2.jpg

[person person]

The Tyrant looks very dark, I like it! Probably the best Deathriders I've seen too. One of my Vindicators has "Bye Bye" written on its dozer blade.

[ilmfein]

hive tyrent looks awesome unless it is on the other side of the table from u then its just big and ugly the riders are awesome havnt got to see them all together yet

[gorepants]

A little late to the game, but those tanks and horsies are looking good. Got the weathering just right and the breastplates on the death riders look really good.

[fade_74]

A little late to the game, but those tanks and horsies are looking good. Got the weathering just right and the breastplates on the death riders look really good.

Late in the game or not, thanks for the comment! This isn't really a new thread anyway. Just something for me to put my pictures in. To show friends and whatnot. Keep checking back once in awhile, I try to put up stuff as I finish it....every couple weeks or so. Next up is my psyker battle sqad (which was a stolen idea lol) and Colonel Straken is about half finished on my work table. Cheers!

[bob9801]

very cool army. I scanned through and I didn't see your finished Harker. did I just miss him somewhere or is he incomplete?

[fade_74]

Don't have a Harker yet. But here is a couple pics of my Straken. The sword is gettin some more work, but I haven't decided how to do it yet....so its just metal atm lol.

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard02-8.jpg

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard03-7.jpg

This is my Psyker battle squad. I stole the idea from a pic I saw here....somebody selling an army I think.

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Fade_13/Clipboard01-11.jpg

[person person]

I remember that psyker battle squad that your talking about, it was Dragon something studios I think.

Like the bone on Straken's animal skull, how'd you do it?

[fade_74]

person person, That is a mix of astronmonican grey and deneb stone for the base coat. Wash with badab black and then devlan mud. layer on the original base coat. then add 50/50 bleached bone and original mix. then pure Bleached bone. Then skull white. I do bone in a ton of different ways, but this way makes them look really old and worn down. I used the same on my servo skulls....just without the wash.

[Vorlon]

Great work as usual! I absolutely love the PSB concept.

Two part question...what shade of red did you use on the should pads/leg warmers of the Overseer and do you mind if I steal the color scheme for my Ordos Xenos detachment?

[Commissar Lewis]

Fade, once again truly stellar work. Blow my painting skills outta the water. But I like my skills - they ain't perfect but they're mine.

Nonetheless, awesome PBS. Concept and execution are top-notch.

[ColCorbane]

Outstanding Straken mate and I like the way you've done the pbs, I might have to lift that.

[fade_74]

Great work as usual! I absolutely love the PSB concept.

Two part question...what shade of red did you use on the should pads/leg warmers of the Overseer and do you mind if I steal the color scheme for my Ordos Xenos detachment?

Vorlon, feel free. I think those colors would look great for Ordo Xenos. The red is Mecharite red basecoat. Shaded with a little dark brown wash (just around the shoulder icons, don't wash the whole thing). I added a little blood red to the mech red a bit at a time for the highlights.

ColCorbane...lift away! I lifted it from somebody else. lol

Lewis....always be proud of the skills you have....because there is always somebody else who has less skill than you. I look to a lot of others for inspiration. and how to articles lol.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

[Ebsolom Dhaark]

Just to echo others comments, absolutley amazing work! That is a beautifully painted IG army you have there sir. My favourite piece has to be the Valkyrie with the FW decals... lovely job!

[fade_74]

Thanks for the comment Ebsolom! A lot of people wonder if the cost of FW decals is worth it....and yes....they are worth it. The ones for the valk wings are really for somebody who has a lot of patience. They are one solid decal, that you have to cut into parts, to fit. I probably have 3-4 hours in just those two wings lol.

[fade_74]

Elysian Tauros Venator. I used it to practice dirt and grime. It turned out ok, but I still need a bit more practice. Thank Rafe for the camo scheme, he told me to do something I hadn't done before lol.

Pretty good for a first effort :). Wheels turned out really well - this is usually the bit people seem to get wrong (look at the Venator on the FW site). The balance between what is and isn't dirty seems a little off though (for instance, it looks like the missile pods and the door frame should be muddy). Other than that the texture seems quite natural, so thumbs up.

[person person]

Nice, the mud/dirt turned out great.

Also never knew the Venarator had a HK missile on each side. I thought it only had one.

[fade_74]

Here are some pics of what I have been working on lately. First up is a new Armoured Sentinel. I did A bit of OSL on it just for fun.

Top notch, Forgeworld-level, painting and weathering (especially that sentinal). Great job!


*Edit* Also, what is that decoration on the chimera turret? I like it.

It's a brass bit that comes from the GW Warhammer 40k basing kit. It actually has quite a few cool bits.

You can actually see the bit in the top right hand side of the box photo.

Thanks for the comment Vorlon!

So Im sitting here at work painting a chimera while looking at your Venator pics and trying to deconstruct your weathering colors and my boss walks up and looks at my screen. He (being a former marine) asks if that is the new USMC recon vehical hes been hearing rumors about....and asks if I have any videos of it in action.... Ive never been so jealous of someones painting in my life =p

[fade_74]

Hate to dredge this up<referring to picts on page 4>... but... where did you get that model for they cyclops? or did you scratch build it.
Thanks ahead of time!

The cyclops is from Forgeworld. It's the real deal lol, it put me over the top for free shipping one time.

The new GW Executioner....ughh, I hate that thing. The gun looks horrible. By the way, am I the only one who spotted the Vulture on the lower shelf? Just wondering, what weapon loadout do you give it? Mine flies with four rocket pods.

[fade_74]

mine has 2 lascannons and 2 rocket pods.....I just thought that looked coolest lol. I have just about all the other options ready to paint though.

Just some new stuff that I have been doing lately. First up, an old Hellhound, painted in a new color scheme.

Here is a new tank I painted just for EBAY! /cry...I hate to sell it, but I bought and painted it just for that reason. I have also decided to do some commission work. IG Tanks are my specialty. Just hit me up over PM and we can talk it over.

I painted my new Deathstrike Missle tank in a more "subdued" style. The camo is something I saw in a WD last year. Feel free to tell me what you think.

I was practicing my photo skills (that suck lol) and took some new pics of my vendetta. I also put it up on coolminiornot so drop by there and give it a vote if you could. I'm sorta not in the "IN" crowd there I guess so my stuff just doesn't do well. It should be posted there by morning as they have a waiting period so an admin can check and make sure it's not pron lol.

Here is the Forge World Ultramarines Dreadnought I did for my buddy Bodeen! No biting it, or im gonna kick your *** lol. I did this one in a very traditional paint scheme with minimal strange techniques, to highlight the coolness of the model itself. I initially was gonna add some rust, but decided against it. He may be ancient, but I can't see the Ultramarines letting a venerable fall into any type of disrepair. This was also one of the easiest FW models I have ever done. There was just a bit of extra flash, and no air pockets to speak of. All the mold lines were easily taken care of. I don't think I had to sand anything at all.

That looks cool. I really like the vines. And, by the way, if you see doug before i do, tell him if he leaves this on his car hood and drives off like he did with the monolith.......it won't be good.
