[Garden Ninja]

Well, here they are. I don't know that I need to say much else.

very nice! how did you paint them?

[Inquisitor Kravin]

What else you need to say is to tell us how you achieved such an awesomely vibrant shade of green!

[Dan VK]

That shade of green is fantastic. It's bright without being eye watering. Those jump packs look great, too, and you did an excellent job on the lenses.

 

^_^

[Ecritter]

Okay, now I have one more person to hate.

 

Awesome work.

[Zincite]

Flippin' eck... How did you do that green? And how did you make those jump packs? Are they rouge trader ones?

 

Nicely done, good to see such a little-played chapter painted so well :D

[Garden Ninja]

The jump packs are from a resin kit (although I'm not sure where... they might be Iron Halo or Scibor).

 

The green is done with P3 paints. The base color is Ordic Olive, and I highlight it by mixing it in with Frostbite (a very pale blue). That gives me the slightly cold, bright green that you see here.

 

I used a similar recipe for some Salamanders recently. The same base green was highlighted with a warm bone color instead, making the whole pallet look a little warmer than this.

as being an Aurora fellow-->absolutely great! You get the green effect better achieved than I. :P

[WingsOfTheFalcon]

Great effort, superb colour and lenses. Are those JPs from Micro Art Studios?

[Dark Sensei]

I'm quite surprised to see sucha poor JP sculpt beeing sold to anyone, especially for a chapter that does not even need to display a pre-H look. Hopefully, this chapter has a very elegant color sheme and you skillfully made the best out of those minis. Hope to see more.

Pretty awesome. I like those jump packs, even though they do look bit rough.

[Master Gabriel Macleod]

Your work is just awesome and love the green paint scheme on those models. Those JPs might be maxmini line by the looks of them.

[Garden Ninja]

Yes, I think they come from Maxmini.

It would appear your dreadnought is missing a cane for his left arm to rest on or some kind of small creepy robotic dog. Are the right shoulder pads pewter assault pads from GW?

looking at the difference in the size of the trims i would say they are the gw pewter ones
