those are not big eyebrows on his helmet. its a winged skull but i didn'nt paint the skull gold but mithril silver but the feathers are gold with the wings adeptus battle grey

 

http://s1138.photobucket.com/albums/n532/Manfred_Tham_Meng_Kit/Guardians%20of%20the%20Covenant/IMG_0025.jpg

 

 

hence all my work hence far. clearly i'm not done but i'm happy with my current progress. i need to get decal paper to make my chapter symbol, squad number and mebbe company colours. i also need to paint the spotlight for the dreadnought buy forgeworld autocannons and converting a banner for a loincloth for him. i'm also getting armorcast (http://armorcast.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=100&products_id=1261) for my assault guys. i will post pictures of my troops and preds when they arrive and are built.

 

pls C&C

try giving a heavy Badabb Black wash to these metal part it realy help getting out all of the detail and it's a good way to enhance the general quality of a model.

 

try to dip you paint brush in wather to thin down your paint, it realy help preventing the blobing effect we see in some model.

 

Good Job in general! just pay attention to small details like the inside part of the chainsword of the first "default" assault guy.

 

 

and Finaly I found somone else who pays flamers to his assault squad!

If you don't mind suggestions, with the red weapons and jump pack highligt, the color ends up looking kinda topheavy. If you do one of the knee pads in the red, it will break up the silver overload on the lower half of the marine, and balance out the color.

actually i left those areas metal cuz my shop ran out of ALL green paints so i cant do my company emblem. i will re-upload when they come in. also, since you guys can't see it, the inside of the jetpacks are also metal cuz i'm looking for the perfect blue glow to look like combustion

flamers + jetpack FTW!!!

the blobbing is probably due to my method of speed painting which means i take straight from the pot with a wet brush

22 october update:

 

arrggghhhh, hit a little snag. the chapter upgrades come with shoulder pads but their all elaborately decorated. i wanted normal shoulder pads that are empty so i can put squad number and chapter insignia.....haiz........ so what do you guys think? empty shoulder pads or decorated shoulder pads.

22 october update again:

 

i decided that i'm cheap and kinda low on cash hence i'm using the pads but only on the left arm. right arm i;m ordering Taactical shoulder pads (shoulder pads) and mebbe freehanding or putting a decal of the squad number on. and finally, for the chapter insignia, i'll look really coll on their robes <_<

While your red looks quite nice, the silver looks patchy and a bit scuffed up. Whether this is intentional or not, you've not stated. The dreadnought is almost exempt from this since that looks fully done in most places. Otherwise the silver needs some touching up to look whole.

you should put some highlight on you cloth as it look flat, Especialy on the dreadnought loin cloth.

 

I think you getting somewhere, as that Tactical is realy nicely started. :)

yeah, i agree my silver is kinda scuffed, do you guys know a way to solve that. on my previous figures i would drybrush over but it only made it a lighter shade.
