Infrared Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hi! I just painted these two guys up, and thought I´d share them with you. It's the first time I've painted Scythes, and I'm thinking of doing a small force of maybe 1000 points with them. http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/6061/scythes.jpg http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/3972/scythe1.jpg http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/985/loading.jpg Hope you like them!

blood_raven_240 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 You could try a Combat Patrol, that'd be pretty cool :) Anyway, I like the models! Nice clean, precise painting and good tones and shades. Nice work!

Garden Ninja Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The scythes have always been one of my favorite chapters, ever since I first saw them in Advanced Space Crusade. The reloading looks very nice, and I like the hue you've chosen for your yellow (it isn't as crazy as the original super bright colors those mo-hawk scouts used to wear).

Infrared Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks! The yellow is the foundation yellow. It's real easy to work with, even over black undercoat.

Dark Sensei Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Cool work and pleasure to see this chapter. Hmmm its a rare thing to see a whole chapter painted in 2 minis (Since they were nearly obliterated by tytys, I think there is something like 2 survivors, no ?).

Peck Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 They look really, really cool. I've never seen that chapter before. I might suggest, however, perhaps painting the rims of their bases something other than black. This might make them pop a lot more, since their armour's already so dark.

Epic Thoughts Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I like the free hand. That alone is a skill worth being proud of. The conversion and the excellent job with the yellow is just icing on the cake. Great job!
