Lemainus Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh I know I'm about ten billion years of practice away from being as good as most people who post their work here, but I wanted some criticism and some commentary on my little scout squad. It's my second time painting camo and I think I did okay. I was going for a tiger-stripe kind of feel also sorry for the :cussty pictures - it's a webcam. I am not a photographer. It took me ten minutes to figure out how to turn off auto focus. :P guy with a trophy skull mounted on his shoulder. I like to think of him as the new guy on the squad, and he's still green enough to think popping an ork boy in the face is something new and exciting - hence the keeping of the holey-skull. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture28.jpg Standing camo, lookin around http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture29-1.jpg Standing, looking down scope. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture31-1.jpg same guy, different angle http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture32-1.jpg Sarge on point - I wanted to make it look like his hand was kind of swatting the grass out of his way - dunno if I quite succeeded. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture33.jpg Annnnnnnnnnnnd the crouching guy http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture35-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170160-noob-scouts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVNSNTSOLDIER Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Very nice dude, great start! Gives them a COD4 feel :P Oh, don't worry about the paintjob yer doing, I and most others paint the same level as you on the forum. We are also one of the nicest forums out there, along with the Waaagh! Forums (well, as nice as Orks get anyway :lol:), and dont subjugate ourselves to dimeaning others work. Awesome base jobs as well, loving the jungle underbrush feel. Keep on trukkin' mate! (oops there's my ork side showin again, curse you Waaagh forum! :P ), oh and welcome to B&C fellow brother marine!

Wolf Priest Haelaeif Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 The camo looks great. I like the way you used the grass to tie the models into their surroundings.

rat of vengence Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Nice work mate, I really like how you have used the basing and material 'ghillie' wise. One thing I would consider is giving the models a wash, probably Devlin Mud, to tie the colours together somewhat. If you have it, use the Black wash over any metal parts. But very nice even without that! RoV Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170160-noob-scouts/#findComment-2009805 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemainus Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thanks for the replies, guys! I took your advice and gave the guns a good black wash - I got the Badab in the mail a few days ago, and I'm seriously loving it.

daemon*hunter Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Those look very nice :) (better then I could do) Do they look at all odd in city fights and other none Grassy battlefields? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170160-noob-scouts/#findComment-2014023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemainus Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Those look very nice :) (better then I could do) Do they look at all odd in city fights and other none Grassy battlefields? :( Honestly I've only ever played on grassy battlefields and such, so I couldn't tell you from first hand experience but I'm sure on a Cityfight board they'd stick out like sore thumbs and not in a cool way, either. In a "I wore this ghillie suit to go grocery shopping" kind of way :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170160-noob-scouts/#findComment-2014362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
