The Blue Buddha Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Been a while since I took a crack at painting.... Anyhow, I just grabbed up an airbrush from the local hobby store. Nothing fancy mind you, but I figured it would save me quite a bit of time in the long run. I was intending to use it to paint solid colors quickly but after a goof up in the mix I found it makes some pretty awesome highlights. I add a wash on the finished model and viola! In the future I'm going to pick up a much nicer airbrush and compressor, but in the meantime I'll keep cranking out models for my Crimson Fist army. Hope you enjoy, and comments and criticism are always appreciated. http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af143/anubis11x/P1000398.jpg http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af143/anubis11x/P1000396.jpg EDIT: *Facepalm* I just realized I left the Sternguard's bolter sling blue. It's late so forgive me, I'll get around to it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiq Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Very nice, the eagle-headed backpack really fits Kantor. I like how the contrasting shade makes the red stand out (something I myself failed to do). Keep up the good work. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Buddha Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Whenever I see leaders with these big bulky flags on top of their backpacks I have to wonder how that would affect them. I see Marines as being fast and agile, even if big and heavy, and I have an image of a marine doing a combat roll with one of those banners and ending up stuck in the dirt upside down. Besides, I like the eagle backpack much better than the one he came with :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Buddha Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 And some more Sternguard are added to the mix after some touch ups to sarge. Not sure how I feel about this guy actually. I'm kind of torn between having more white or more gold. http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af143/anubis11x/P1000399.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Nice Crimson Fists, the eye lenses are particularly well done and I like the attention to detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing they teach a Blood Angel neophyte is that "there is no such thing as too much bling!" That lesson goes to all marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
