Getting my CoC up.......


This will be my painting blog/challenge thread....

My CoC has lain idle since I unpacked it and is need of some attention...my dislike of the plastic quality is documented and this had put me off starting properly....

But with Xmas break upon us I've decided to spray some up and get cracking...

On the table at the mo' is...

Syntherion
Axis
Prime Axiom
2 x Heavies
2 x Lights
Reductors
Angels
Attunement Servitors
Accretion Servitors

Let the great work begin!!

(Pics to follow as the brushwork starts in full...)

Re: Getting my CoC up.......


Before my CoC is unfurled in full thought I'd check my balls out.....(sorry this will be the last immature joke for a while... emoticon )

As you can see I've gone for pretty similar to the studio scheme. I tried a couple of others on some old figures - one was ok which was a bone coloured armour type look,but it was shiny robots that first attracted me to the CoC so that's where I'm headed....

Re: Getting my CoC up.......


First caster....Hat to be Syntherion really....

Image

Bases not done....will get rid of silver rim in favour of black I think (result of spraying), although might keep rear of base silver.....

First unit... wanted to test my scheme on troops rather than jacks....

Image

Overall I'm happy with the look of them....
 
Spray with Humbrol silver (careful as it's no where as good as my faithful white tamiya!)
pick out some bits in pig iron (dark metal colour)
wash with black
go over with a dryish brush of medium silver
highlight with brighter silver.....
glow is white with arcane blue over it...
then abit of white mixed in to bring up to a glow(ish).

Simples.

Re: Getting my CoC up.......


Just picked up some Reciprocators.......all I can say is...

F...............U..............C...............K.................

The amount of flash and the bent spears is beyond anything I have seen so far!!

I'm amazed at the swings in quality my perforators were annoying - having a separate harpoon tip was a sick joke-but were relatively good with few mould lines that were obvious....

Anyhoo will plod on.....

Will see if I can but I've already took a lot of the heavy flash off and the spears have had the hot water treatment!

Re: Getting my CoC up.......


So I haven't started my heavy infantry painting as too cold to spray.... in the mean time I've turned back to jacks, bases and exploding balls............

Syntherion is done...went for half/half on rim....

The quick-fit fitters...

Light fixy jack...

Flags for everyone's fave scenario...

So apart from shitty mould lines what have I learned so far? Well for one it seems metallics are a bugger to photograph....and a lot of the definition is lost as a result of this....
