Hubernator Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Finally got some models to get my army started. Here's the first group; some good ol' fashioned scouts :P http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10765.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10766.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10767.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10768.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10769.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10770.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10771.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10772.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10773.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10774.jpg EDIT: These are new pics of the revised Scouts.

Lysimachus Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hey Hubernator, good to see some Phantoms off the page and on the table! green looks like a good match for SMP scheme and the grey works well with it! little suggestion, you might want to try and take your pics in a different place, with the light behind you and shining on the front of the minis. as it is, the light from the window means the minis are in their own shade and you cant see the details (having said that, that would be quite appropriate for the Phantoms! :P ) Lysimachus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157195-the-phantoms-gallery/#findComment-1838439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks Lysimachus ^_^ Yes, the lighting is fun, especially in my room where my shadow gets in the way when I'm taking a pic :P I'll see if I can get better images up <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157195-the-phantoms-gallery/#findComment-1838456 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEanBOb Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 :D Your pahntoms look like their eyes have been burned out of their skulls in some horrible accident. But yea, I souldn't be talking since i can't paint eyes either. Overall though the models are nice and neat even though I'm really not a fan of the shiny varnish.

Hubernator Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 :D Your pahntoms look like their eyes have been burned out of their skulls in some horrible accident. :P Yeah I don't like the eyes either. I'll need to work on that when I next do a helmless model. Trust me, it was much worse on my first go - it looked like I'd given them all battlescars and black eyes :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157195-the-phantoms-gallery/#findComment-1843142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favoured of the Emperor Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Very nice. Although the paint seems a little thick. FOE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157195-the-phantoms-gallery/#findComment-1843433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Shiny! SHINY! SHINY! Seriously though, I like them. :P Good job! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157195-the-phantoms-gallery/#findComment-1843444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 @Favoured of the Emperor: I don't thin paints personally, I get a good finish with the paint as it is. Thanks for the comment :D @metcalfedan: :blink: yes they are shiny. It's called gloss ;) I'm doing that to all my models so the paint doesn't come off :P Thanks anyway :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157195-the-phantoms-gallery/#findComment-1843501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gordofski Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I get a good finish with the paint as it is. ehhh.... not really. You'd be surprised at how much better they'd look.

Hubernator Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 For the record, I have tried thinning the paints before, and often made it too thin or the finish isn't satisfying for me. So I just use the paint as it is. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157195-the-phantoms-gallery/#findComment-1846114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 *shakes dust off of thread* Got some new pics to add here.
