Plowboy22 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I started WH about six weeks ago. These are my first completed models. I am hoping for good tabletop quality. And yes that is a ghoul from a new VC army I just started.....this game is worse than heroin as far as addictions go! http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/plowboy222/Warhammerpics004.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/plowboy222/Warhammerpics003.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/plowboy222/Warhammerpics005.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/plowboy222/Warhammerpics006.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/plowboy222/Warhammerpics009.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/plowboy222/Warhammerpics008.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/plowboy222/Warhammerpics007.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/plowboy222/Warhammerpics010.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/plowboy222/Warhammerpics011.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwenCrute Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Very nice. Better than I paint, and I've been in the hobby since I was 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demenhoth Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Very nice. Better than I paint, and I've been in the hobby since I was 11. Your inability to provide your current age leads me to believe that your not much older now. But to OP, nice stuff. i've been painting since i started at the age of 12 (I am almost 18) and it's better than mine. You obviously have art skills in other media. Good Jorb. We will be watching.

stinkenheim Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 considering your very new to the hobby they are extremely good. One thing i would say is that the highlight on the black is maybe just a tad too stark, i personally would either apply a darker colour highlight for the majority and then on the extreme corners add the current highlight colour, wither that or maybe apply a thin black wash to tone it down slightly. Blacks a hard colour to paint anyway, highlight it too much and it looks gey too little and you can't tell its been done. oh and a quick tip for the lenses/gems, paint them blood red, highlight the top left corner with scab red and the bottom right with flaming orange, apply a small dot of white in the top left and then give it a coat of gloss varnish. Just makes them stand out a bit more. Great stuff though, just thought i put my two cents in dude :lol: keep up the good work though, and hopefully you contiue to improve ;) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy22 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks for the replies all. I will definately try the lense technique. I have no prior art experience except I used to build models as a kid. (I'm 39 now) I used the pics on the forums here to pick up ideas. I have also discovered that I enjoy painting almost as much playing......almost :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atilak Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Im starter too... And must admit that my skill is too poor in compare of your paint... Really love it.. You vehicles are just awesome.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenCrute Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm 15, but I've been immersed in the universe for somewhere between ten and eight years. Only really started getting any models when I was 11, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle captain corpus Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 As far as the vehicles go they look very good, some nice clean highlights. The marines/scouts, one tip I would give is give the flesh a wash of maybe Ogryn flesh wash or Gryphonne Sepia. It'll do all the work for you and its a quick fix instantly. :D BCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy22 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks for the tip on the faces. I also need to turn the flash off on my camera as it kinda washed some of the detail out of the figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
