A17roolz Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Not too bad, but the paint looks a little thick, both in the literal terms and that the highlights are a bit big. Try thinning your paints down with a little water, works wonders for me. I tend to find a 1:1 ratio of water and paint on a wet pallette does the trick (I haven't tried pouring it straight into a pot, GW paints are too expensive to waste on silly mistakes I may make!) Â Generally with Dark Angels, because they're a dark, dark colour, a nice easy technique is base coat with a dark green then dry brush (oh, and use some black wash in the recesses too). Drybrushing brings out the highlights quite nicely on darker chapters I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thexmarine Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks i do thin my paints down with water but i think ill add a little more and ill try dry brushing to see if thats a little better. Ill post pics when i'm finished with my new models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbabyjesus Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 use a smaller brush, and water down your paints, apply a small amount of paint to the model at a time and most importantly: Take your time! Â freehand is something that some exceptionally talented people can speedpaint, for the rest of us mere mortals patience, a steady hand and hours of spare time are a requirement!

cathar the great Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Try this tutorial. It should help. Â Â Hey, no fair linking to my tutorial before I do :rolleyes: Â Â thexmarine, you should really start following people's advice here. Stop using your paints directly from the pot. Take an old CD or something to use as a palette. Put some of your color from the paint pot onto it, then mix with water (paint:water should be about 2:1 or 3:1 for base coats) Â Don't use one coat of paint, thin your color and use several until it actually covers the black coat underneath. Â Highlighting can be extremely hard for beginners without a good brush and brush-control. Instead of doing every highlight by itself, try drybrushing. This means that you take a little bit of paint on the brush, then wipe it on a paper towel until there's nearly no color left, then paint it over your minis in fast stripes (is this English what I'm writing Oo) Â If you google these basic painting techniques, you will find truckloads of tutorials. Â Take your time, your minis will not look great over night. And if you do post something up on a board like this, do take the advice of people who take their time to help you. Â And be patient, there won't always be replies in a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thexmarine Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 i dont paint right out of the pot i put it on a floor tile and it works great as a palette. but im gonna start doing thiner layers. Â OK i finished painting up 3 more models just gotta wait a bit for them to dry. Pics will be up within an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thexmarine Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 OK my pics of the new marines are done ill be posting a picture of all my dark angels within the hour. Â http://s928.photobucket.com/albums/ad124/n...rhammerpic3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I like the lighter green that you use. You could use the dark angel transfer if your having trouble painting it. Â Anyway onto why I posted: I LOVE the multi-melta dude. his pose is so cool and the chainblade is awsome! Could we have some othe pics of him please? Â Good work :lol: Â Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verpine Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hey there, They aren't looking too bad. You might want to get some red paint and paint their eye lenses to give them a more finished look. Also, the missile launcher is assembled a bit crooked, so you should fix that. Overall, you should try and paint some of the smaller details and the model will look more finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thexmarine Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 heres the pics. oh and i used the legs from the command squad. some random head and backpack. multi melta from a land raider and a chainsword blade on the gun http://s928.photobucket.com/albums/ad124/nickykmight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
