I'm the wrong side of the pond, methinks, considering your current client.. But given the quality of these pieces youd be worth the fee.

 

Actually I shipped some stuff overseas to him and am ordering my stuff from UK sites to save on shipping straight to his door, so if your in the UK he is closer than you think!

 

I should also mention that the above Sergeant is Sergeant Doran, leader of squad Doran. He was actually the test model that Dave put together and really was the model that defined exactly what we were going for with the force!

really need to go back and tidy up the highlights on the sgt as I went a bit over board with them :-(

 

anyway on with the photo's!!

 

here's the next 3 marines

here's a squad shot as well (note there's only 9 in there as the 10th man's now been used as the next squads sergeant I'll be painting up his replacement ASAP)

Love the models, I've wanted to do an Iron Hands army for ages and yours are great inspiration!

 

One piece of advice: Your Decals are excellent, but you can see their shiny surface in almost all of your photos. To get rid of this, and make the decals look like they are actualy painted on, get a pot of Matt Varnish (I use Vallejo Game Color Matt Varnish) and paint over the whole shoulderpad area, decal and all. It really helps to get rid of that "decal surface shine"!

Excellent work as usual, man.

 

Now I know it's rude to ask about one's tricks of trade, but I feel I have to nonetheless - could you please tell how exactly you do these highlights? They're pretty crisp but also very natural looking, I was wondering if I could pull something like this off with my Raven Guards, who also happen to be black... Is it Fortress Grey, or something more one of a kind? :D

no probs it's black spray paint codex grey highlight then i have a VERY watered down pot of skull white a VERY thin brush and not so VERY steady hand (a pot of thined black to tidy it up after is good as well)
