Well, I don't have C&C that would be useful (it would just be the usual 'Dood! Kewl!' drivel that good painter like you expect) but I do have a question: what grey do you use to highlight your BT's? I paint a predominantly black colored army myself, and I was wondering what you use, as those highlights just seem to scream to my tastes.

I have the same problem. I'll bet the edging on that tank is more subtle in real-life.

 

The Codex Gray looks fine in real life but with a camera flash it stands out like neon.

 

I don't have a solution to that. Perhaps no flash and with natural lighting?

Small update.

 

Had a couple of hours to kill tonight after the kiddo went to sleep and got two more assault marines done (sans bases of course) only two left and the squad is done.

Well I was able to get another assault marine done. I used shadow grey as a highlight to see what it would look like. Let me know what you guys think, YA or nay

I would have finished the last assault marine but some new toys arrived in the mail!

After some quick weapon swaps I have some new recruits!

As always C&C encouraged! :(

OK update time! I dont know how regular my updates will be from here on out. My PC decided it didnt want to boot anymore (not even from my windows cd) so im going to be limited in my pic uploading for a few weeks. but enough of that..

 

I finished the last of my assault squad

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010947-1.jpg

 

and got a test neophyte done up. real simple.. took me maybe 45 minutes

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010946-1.jpg

 

On a positive note as well I recieved 20 marines, 11 terminators 4 more scouts, another emperors champ (so if anyone needs one let me know) and another Castellan in the mail. Im soo stoked, now im just waiting on my LRC and some more rhinos. Boy im gonna be busy.

Hey, I have to say that your painting skills are improving since the begining of the thread, especialy for your two last assault marines and the "scout" wich is awesome for the time u've spend on it. Your highlights are smoother and cause I like perfection, I would like to advice that you redo ur pred and the five first tacticals :P

 

Maybe can you add a colour around the bases, like dark flesh ?

Thanks guys, it means alot. I do plan on redoing alot to the predator and im pretty sure im gonna stick with the shadow grey as a highlight as its ALOT more subtle. I usually leave my bases black but hey I broke all my previous vows with this army so why not one more hehe!

OK update time

 

Was able to steal the camera away to work and upload some pics (sorry about some of the pics being kinda yellow) Still need to do some bases but those come a little later. Some of these ive already started on the bases as you can see.

 

Heres the two terminators

Got some more work on the predator too. changed the highlights to shadow grey to tone them down a little.

I'm loving those robes on your champion! Looks brilliant, could you tell me your method for doing it, I've just finished my first black templar (check the thread Black Templar, Heretic Hunter for the pics) and I struggled with the robes for a while!

 

Also, Must mention that I love the work on the plasma pistols, how have you managed to achieve that "glow" of the plasma coils??

Nice work on the models m8, im liking the red colour on the armour.

 

My DIY chapter has black armour too and i also use codex greay to highlight the edges.

 

If you want to tone them down slightly i find a wash of black ink blends them in nicely.

 

Keep up the good work B) !

Thanks guys

 

flamednid- Yea they are the older plastic terminators. I got 5 of them and 5 of the newer plastic termies in a recent trade. these are gonna be shooty squad filler while the new ones are for an assault terminator squad. im just waiting on my forgeworld templar storm shields and shoulderpads for them.

 

Squat- my recipe for the robes is I paint them all white then wash them with the new gryphonne sepia wash. once dry I highlight the raised areas to white. really simple. As for the plasma coils i paint those white as well and then wash them with the leviathan purple wash. then once dry i apply more wash to the area where the coils meet the gun to darken it up a little.

 

Diasmith- thanks for the tip. Ive actually switched to using shadow grey for my highlights. does a good job while being subtle.

OK pic update.

 

Heres my terminator squad captain that will march with my fire support squad.

and finally after much waiting and anticipation, some blood and a whole tube of glue my LRC is almost ready for priming.

Im gonna set upon the LRC like a pack of dogs on a three legged cat when I get home. Will give me a nice break from rank and file stuff. Also with the kit ive finally got lascannon tips for my predator.

 

Stay tuned and C&C is encouraged.
