Blog NIGHTBRINGER's Terrain & Warhammer Woodworking Projects

Well, it always easy to say you don't like something after the suggestions have been made and the works been done. I still think you did the right thing. a metal symbol would have just been meh. Easily forgotten. But if you make it glow... Now that's cool.

I like the crystalline suggestion as well. It's unexpected. It would catch your attention and be something you remember as your working on a project. "Oh yeah, I remember seeing something really cool once that would look awesome here!"

 

I like the suggestion of trying out object source lighting... a warpstone like effect. I haven't decided if I want to go with warpstone green or another colour like blue or purple. I've narrowed it down to those 3 colours. Suggestions?

 

As it's a Tzeentchian icon I'm putting my vote down for blue

 

Blue makes sense. It also kinda looks like a flame, so blue fire would be fitting.

 

Sounds like blue it is! Thanks for the feedback!

 

Tzeentch symbol update. Stone painting is finished... now on to the symbol. I found it difficult to take a good picture, the grey wasn't showing up very well.

 

Thanks. I'm trying to build up the courage to do so.

 

You can do it! We believe in your abilities!

 

Here is the painted Tzeentch symbol. I think it turned out okay. Failed my cold-blooded leadership test... turns out I'm not brave enough to try object source lighting on it (that technique will have to wait for another day). I decided to put a gloss varnish finish over the symbol to give it a sort of magical aura effect.

 

The Gloss effect works. Makes it look like some sort of wyrde material.

 

Thank you!

 

Nice! Do you know how you're going to use it? Bane stone perhaps?

 

Not a clue to be honest. I've already made a bane stone, so for now it has no purpose. I'll just put it aside until I find a suitable use for it.

 

Just a quick update, a short simple project. I needed a movement tray for my Kroxigor. The tray holds 3x3 Krox....

 

Thanks! As for highlights, the base tone is "Mordian blue", the mid tone is "Enchanted blue", and the highlights are increasing amounts of "Ice Blue" mixed with enchanted blue. The highlights are subtle... it might be that the gloss and the bright light shining on the model may be obscuring it a bit... or perhaps I could have applied the highlight over a slightly larger area .

Thanks for the comments on the disc... this disc is a slightly more simplistic one (I left out the inner details) than the wooden one I have pictured in a previous post. This one was cut out of acrylic which is a bit more resilient than wood at such small thicknesses. Unfortunately I have yet to be able to replicate the same accuracy cutting acrylic that I can cutting wood.

 

Curing the tray on the stove..? How does that work..?
