Absolutely stunning. I will definitely be using this as a guide when I start Abby myself
Wow, just wow. And no subassemblies either, you’re braver than I sir. Great video

Haha thank you! I didn't want any join lines on the cloak - so I just went for it haha
I really do adore the draw of attention to the Talon of Horus, and it’s lethality.
Dude, this is your best work yet. Sure, it helps that it's an incredible model but I dare say this is the best guide and finished product on it out there - including the official by GW. I'll be back here once my Abby arrives. Great job!

Where you go over with abaddon black, do you use the contrast or the base version? I am terrified of starting this model!
@ThePaintingCoach
Жыл бұрын
I use the base paint in this instance - no need to be terrified - take your time and enjoy it - you can always paint over it if need be :)
i know you've painted several power swords on figures but they all varry. On mephiston you used Aethermatic blue contrast on this guy you used temple guard blue and Terradon turquoise. they're all very nice, but what would you recommend for a nice easy simple recipe for power swords. A short video or just a power sword video would be awesome 😁

at 41:08 you use Terradon Turquoise contrast on the blade. Would i get the same effect if i used Sotek Green since i already have that. And awesome work on the power sword. The simplest method i've ever seen and it looks just as good as the ones if not better that people spend hours on glazing, feathering, and whatever technical paint terminology there is on it.
